Patent CA-2588582-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COTTER JERRY
IPC: C04B40/06
Filed: 2006-10-16
Abstract: A system for automatically and periodically applying moisture to curing concrete that can be transported from one location to another is provided. A  portable concrete curing unit receives water from a water source and distributes such water to a moisture applicator that is situated near a curing concrete object. The moisture applicator applies moisture to the curing concrete so as to maintain the concrete object at a desired moisture level during the curing process. The concrete curing unit may contain a power source, a pump, and a controller. The controller is connected to the pump such that the pump will distribute water to the moisture applicator during an activation period. This timing function of the controller allows for a system and method of automatically and periodically curing concrete that can be controlled by the user without extensive need for manual labor during the concrete curing process.

Title: Lightweight packet-drop detection for ad hoc networks
Inventor: ANJUM FAROOQ
IPC: H04J1/16
Filed: 2005-12-12
Abstract: In packet-drop attacks in ad hoc networks, a malicious network node choose to selectively drop packets that are suppose to be forwarded, wich results in adverse impact on application good-put and network stability. A method and system for detection of packet-drop attacks in ad hoc networks requires network nodes to report statistics on IP flow packets originated, received, or forwarded to neighbors. These statistics are analyzed and correlated to determine nodes suspected of dropping packets.

Title: Method for teaching a golf swing using simple thought imagery and very limited body awareness
Inventor: JAEGER JAMES F
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 2006-01-27
Abstract: A method for teaching a person to efectively swing a golf club includes establishing a hand line (HL) the person can feel when they grip the club. The grip can be one of an interlocking, overlapping, baseball or ten finger golf club grip. The person visualizes a bottom line (BL) formed by the intersection of a swing circle of the hand line and an intended line of flight of the ball.  Practice aids incorporating the bottom line can be used to help the person learn the method. A nose line (NL) corresponds to the location of the nose on the person's face. The person keeps his nose line behind the ball from his address position through impact of the club with the ball, and then releases his nose line past the bottom line after impact of the club with the ball.

Title: Host intrusion prevention server
Inventor: DURIE ANTHONY ROBERT
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2007-10-24
Abstract: An intrusion-prevention server supporting a set of hosts comprises data filters and an engine which uses a set of encoded rules for assigning data filters to hosts according to metadata characterizing the hosts. Each data filter corresponds to at least one intrusion pattern from among a set of intrusion patterns and the data filters are continuously updated as intrusion patterns change. Metadata acquired from a host varies with a changing state of the host. Acquisition of metadata from each host is streamlined to reduce communications between the server and the hosts and to minimize processing effort for both the server and the hosts.

Title: Vapor-recovery-activated auto-shutoff nozzle, mechanism system
Inventor: BONNER MARK
IPC: B67D7/36
Filed: 2007-11-20
Abstract: A vapor-recovery-activated auto-shutoff nozzle comprises a manually operable trigger that permits selective operation of a normally closed valve between a valve-closed configuration and a valve-open configuration. Linkage arms connect the trigger and the valve, and are re-configurable between an enabled configuration and a disabled configuration. In the enabled configuration, the trigger and the valve are operatively connected such that the rest position of the trigger corresponds to the valve being closed, and the in-use position of the manually operable trigger corresponds to the valve being open. In the disabled configuration, the manually operable trigger is precluded from controlling the valve. A deactivation mechanism is for re-configuring the linkage means from the enabled configuration to the disabled configuration, in response to a condition of the fluid in a vapor recovery conduit of the nozzle, thereby precluding the valve from being controlled until the linkage arms are reset to the enabled configuration.

Inventor: HUBRICH FRANK
IPC: B02C23/02
Filed: 2007-12-19
Abstract: A support of the steel plate conveyor module includes a receiving boom, a steel plate conveyor and a receiving hopper for a mobile crusher. The material is picked up by a dredging shovel and charged into the receiving hopper. It is fed from there by the steel plate conveyor to the crusher, where it is crushed and then discharged via the stacker belt. As the strip-mining progresses, the dredging shovel and the mobile crusher move on together. The steel plate conveyor module is raised for this purpose and the crusher moves into the next position on its caterpillar-type chassis. The steel plate conveyor module is again deposited there, and its rocker pendulum (33) adapts itself automatically to a possible slope of the subsoil (9). If the material picked up by the dredging shovel drops from the top into the receiving hopper, vibrations, which may cause damage to the supporting structure, are caused there by the impact.  Hydraulic cylinders (36, 37), each of which absorb the impact forces and introduce them directly into the subsoil (9), are arranged for this reason on both sides of the rocker pendulum (33) between the rocker pendulum (33) and the boom (30) of the steel plate conveyor module. To ensure that the possibility of adapting the rocker pendulum (33) to an uneven subsoil (9) is preserved, the hydraulic cylinders (36, 37) are connected to one another by hydraulic lines (10, 11).

Title: Method and system for decoding encoded images and reducing the size of said images
Inventor: WU GUIXING
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 2008-02-28
Abstract: A method and system for reducing the number of mathematical operations required in the JPEG decoding process without substantially impacting the quality of the image displayed is disclosed. Embodiments provide an efficient JPEG decoding process for the purposes of displaying an image on a display smaller than the source image, for example, the screen of a handheld device. According to one aspect of the invention, this is accomplished by reducing the amount of processing required for dequantization and inverse DCT (IDCT) by effectively reducing the size of the image in the quantized, DCT  domain prior to dequantization and IDCT. This can be done, for example, by discarding unnecessary DCT index rows and columns prior to dequantization and IDCT. In one embodiment, columns from the right, and rows from the bottom are discarded such that only the top left portion of the block of quantized, and DCT coefficients are processed.
