Abstract: Apparatus for supplying energy to a load, comprises a power supply unit (102) e.g. a switched mode electronic transformer or electronic ballast having an input for receiving current at mains frequency and a means for stepping-up said mains frequency to a higher frequency e.g. 30-50 kHz and an output for delivering energy at the higher frequency. A two part connector (108) has a first core portion (106) that has a primary winding (104) connected to the output of the power supply unit and a mating second core portion (112) that has a secondary winding (110) for delivery of energy to a load (114), the core portions being of a high resistivity material, e.g. a ferrite having a resistivity of at least 104 .OMEGA. cm. The apparatus may be used to power e.g. low voltage halogen or other incandescent lighting, fluorescent lighting, or an electric motor, a power supply for a computer, radio, television or like electronic device, a heater or the like.
Patent CA-2522902-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GALLI STEFANO
IPC: H04B3/32
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: In a method and system for determining the composition of a subscriber loop, the method consists of analyzing the echo responses generated by the transmittal of pulses onto the subscriber loop. In the method, discontinuities along a loop are identified sequentially by comparing the measured waveform to waveforms generated on the basis of a hypothesized topology. The best match for the waveform is identified using a maximum likelihood approach and a maximum a-posteriori probability (MAP) estimator using observed knowledge regarding the loop plant. A multiple path search is also utilized to improve results and reduce computation time. Once the generated waveform that best matched the measured data had been found and a discontinuity identified, the waveform generated is subtracted from the measured data to produce a compensated waveform, which is used to detect the location and cause of the next echo. A calibration method is implemented to further improve data acquisition.
Patent CA-2522992-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLASCO CLARET JORGE VICENTE
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2004-04-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the spectral configuration of signals modulated by means of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for an electrical network. The invention is characterised in that the sampling frequency of the digital-analogue converters of the transmitter and analogue-digital of the receiver is maintained, such that the bandwidth, the spectral position of the OFDM signal, the spectrum shape of the transmitted OFDM  signal, the spectrum level of the OFDM being transmitted or any combination of same can be varied in a selective and independent manner for the transmission path and the reception path. In this way, the spectrum of the OFDM signal can be configured in terms of bandwidth, frequency position and transmitted power, so that it can be adapted to the relevant standards in different countries and to the channels encountered in the different sections of the electrical network. Moreover, all of the aforementioned changes are made without affecting the analogue components of the system, i.e. retaining the same physical implementation.

IPC: A63B69/00
Filed: 2006-04-18
Abstract: A hockey training device is provided which allows progressive training of shooting skills. A lower member is provided for blocking the lower portion of a hockey net. Openings along the ice allow a puck or other object to pass through the lower member so that aiming of shots along the ice can be practiced. As players advance in skill, the same lower member can be used to practice raising the puck off the ice and shooting over the low blockage. Once raising the puck is mastered, an upright member can be added for blocking a central portion of the net. The upright member can be slid along the lower member to provide variation in the size of the openings through which a puck must be shot. Rotatable arms can then be lowered to a horizontal position part way up the upright member, dividing the unblocked portion of the net into smaller quadrants. The arms can be repositioned to different heights, again providing variation in the size and position of the openings through which the puck must be shot.

Title: Schemes for controlling optical signals in optically functional waveguide structures
Inventor: NIPPA DAVID W
IPC: G02F1/065
Filed: 2005-03-31
Abstract: Methods of attenuating, delaying the phase, and otherwise controlling an optical signal propagating along a waveguide are provided. According to one method, a variable optical attenuator structure is provided comprising a waveguide core (10), a cladding (20), an electrooptic polymer (30), and a set of control electrodes (40). The core (10), the cladding (20), and the electrooptic polymer (30) are configured such that an increase in the index of refraction of the polymer (30) causes a substantial portion of an optical signal propagating along the waveguide core (10) to couple into a relatively high index region (32) of the electrooptic polymer (30) above the waveguide core (10), so as to inhibit return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core (10). Another embodiment of the present invention introduces a phase delay in the coupled optical signal and permits return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core (10). An additional embodiment contemplates the use of a ridge waveguide structure to enable control of the optical signal.
