Title: Variable configuration articulated tracked vehicle
Inventor: GOLDENBERG ANDREW A
IPC: B62D55/065
Filed: 2006-08-04
Abstract: A variable configuration articulated tracked vehicle comprises a chassis, a pair of right and left drive pulleys, a right and left planetary wheel, a right and left track, a right and left arm mechanism, and a right and left drive motor. The drive pulleys are rotatably attached to the chassis and each pair of drive pulleys is in the same plane. The planetary wheels are movable relative to the chassis such that each planetary wheel is in the same plane as its respective drive pulleys. The tracks extend around the pair of drive pulleys and the planetary wheel on the respective sides. The arm mechanisms connect the respective planetary wheel to the chassis. Each arm mechanism is rotatably attached to the chassis with a cam. The cam defines a motion path of one end of the arm whereby the motion of the planetary wheel provides a path for the planetary wheel such that the track path defined by the respective drive pulleys and the planetary wheel is a constant track length. The motors are each operably connected to the respective pair of drive pulleys for driving the track.

Title: Tunable optical filter
Inventor: KEYWORTH BARRIE
IPC: G02B5/20
Filed: 2006-08-11
Abstract: A tunable optical filter includes a demultiplexing device, such as an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) or echelle grating, for separating a multiplexed optical signal into a plurality of demultiplexed optical signals. An imaging lens converges the plurality of demultiplexed optical signals to a common point on a tiltable reflector, which for example is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirror. The tiltable reflector is rotated about a first axis to select which one of the demultiplexed optical signals in the plurality the tunable optical filter is tuned to. More specifically, the tiltable reflector is rotated about the first axis to select which one of the demultiplexed optical signals will be reflected with an angle that allows it to repass through the demultiplexing device and be output from an output port of the tunable optical filter.

Title: Lightweight reinforced brake drum and method for making same
Inventor: JOLLEY DALLAS W
IPC: F16D65/10
Filed: 2005-03-11
Abstract: The invention provides a lightweight brake drum (10) comprising a lightweight, tubular inner member (14) having a reinforcement wrapping retention pattern (e.g., groove) cast in the exterior surface thereof, a length of reinforcement material (e.g., wrapped wire, cable, mesh, fibers, etc.) (16) in communication with a reinforcement retention pattern (e.g., a groove around the inner member) (14), the drum including an outer shell (18). The inner member (14) and the outer shell (18) are made of lightweight materials. Single, or multiple layers of reinforcement material (e.g. wrapping) are applied (e.g., wrapped) around the inner member (14) to support and inhibit expansion of the inner member (14). Because the reinforcement material (16) provides support against expansion, the inner member (14) and the outer shell (18) can be made of lightweight materials. In preferred embodiments, a bonding layer (66) is applied to the exterior surface of the inner member prior to application of the reinforcement material thereon. In preferred embodiments the reinforcement material comprises a low-impedance material such as copper along with another material that has good tensile strength characteristics (e.g., steel, composite fibers, Basalt-fibers, etc.). Preferably, the inner member comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of a aluminum-based metal matrix composite (MMC) with a particulate reinforcement, ceramic matrix composite (CMC), and carbon graphite foam.
Patent CA-2559922-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHATTELL ANDREW DAVID
IPC: H04M3/08
Filed: 2005-03-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a fault in a joint connecting sections of an electrical transmission line together are disclosed. Previously known methods for detecting joint faults require a visual inspection of the joint or testing the transmission line using sophisticated, expensive equipment. This manual testing is expensive and inefficient. In the proposed method, a fault in a joint (301) connecting sections of an electrical transmission line (107) together is detected by measuring the resistance to current flowing through the joint (301) in one and the other directions along said electrical transmission line (107) and detecting a fault in the joint (301) if the measured resistance differs substantially in said one and the other directions. The method has particular utility in relation to low power transmission lines such as telephone lines.

Title: Feature extraction in a networked portable device
Inventor: KOPRA TONI
IPC: G10L25/54
Filed: 2005-03-22
Abstract: A mobile station MS has a transducer or other interface to receive a media sample, a processor to extract features from a digital version of the media sample, a transmitter to transmit those extracted features, and preferably a buffer so feature extraction can begin on a portion of music received prior to a user input to identify the media sample. The features describe the content of the digital version of the media file. A server receives the extracted features from the MS, extracts additional features which may be higher order features extracted from the MS-extracted features and/or lower order features extracted from a segment of the digital media sample sent from the MS. The server uses all extracted features to search a database and identify the underlying file from which the media sample is taken. A single user entry at the MS initiates the feature extraction, link setup, and transmittal of features. A further entry purchases a copy of the entire media file that is downloaded to the MS.

Patent CA-2564929-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAXENA VIVEK
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2005-03-23
Abstract: Various channels containing digital data for CATV services are distributed over the HFC CATV network from the headend. Digital data is modulated on RF  sub-carriers within an allocated downstream RF spectrum. The allocated downstream RF spectrum is split such that different parts of the RF spectrum are transmitted by WDM lasers in a transmitter system including an array of such lasers. The transmitter system utilizes WDM to combine different wavelengths from the laser array on the transmitter side and then launches them onto a single fiber. The transmitted optical signals impinge on a single photo device which reproduces the combined RF spectrum at its output.
