Patent CA-2267841-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAMABE KOJIRO
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: In the communication system performing transmission by generating a vacant period in a slotted mode during data transmission in order to perform various process, such as different frequency carrier quality measurement or so forth, a control signal for maintaining a communication quality is inserted even in the vacant period. Therefore, a link quality may not be degraded even if the vacant period is long. Namely, when a pilot signal is used as the control signal, even in the vacant period, measurement of the link quality of the forward link with the pilot signal is performed in the mobile station to report the result of measurement to the base station. Therefore, transmission power control of the forward link can be performed according to the report in the base station. Therefore, degradation of the forward link can be eliminated.

Abstract: La présente invention propose une méthode et un système de gestion de sessions de communication émanant d'un réseau parmi un réseau de télécommunications, comme le réseau téléphonique commuté public ou un réseau de téléphonie mobile, et un réseau de communications de données, comme Internet. Le système comprend un contrôleur logique de service soutenant une structure de données détenant une pluralité de dossiers de programme de déclassement de session de communication. Le contrôleur logique de service se connecte au réseau de télécommunications et au réseau de communications de données par l'intermédiaire de passerelles respectives qui transmettent des messages de demande de déclassement de session de communication. En réponse à ces messages, le contrôleur logique de service extrait le programme de déclassement de session de communication approprié. Si le programme a l'instruction d'établir une connexion de domaine Internet, le contrôleur logique de service transmet une demande d'adresse Internet à un élément fonctionnel de contrôleur d'accès. Le contrôleur logique de service génère alors une instruction à l'entité ayant lancé le message de demande conformément à une réponse de l'élément fonctionnel de contrôleur d'accès. Si le programme ne requiert aucune connexion Internet, le contrôleur logique de service génère alors une instruction à l'entité ayant lancé le message de demande conformément au programme lui-même. La session de communication est alors traitée conformément à l'instruction.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des colis comprenant au moins une paire de piles (A, B) d'unités de marchandise, entourée par une élingue à serrage automatique, ainsi que des moyens, procédé et dispositif de préparation de tels colis. L'élingue se présente sous la forme d'une boucle fermée d'une sangle (2) dont la largeur est sensiblement égale à la largeur des piles (A, B), et la boucle centrale (14) est rassemblée pour former un anneau de hissage (15) et s'étendre à travers une ouverture centrale ménagée dans la partie supérieure de la sangle (2). Les extrémités de la sangle se chevauchent et sont assujetties de façon permanente par couture, par collage, par fusion à chaud, etc. On peut former ces colis en préparant une longueur déterminée de sangle (2), ce que l'on effectue en tirant la sangle (2) au-dessus d'une paire de tiges (4) lesquelles sont espacées l'une de l'autre et entre lesquelles on a placé une tige mobile verticalement (5), puis au-dessus d'une tige (8b) fixée sur une plaque mobile verticalement (8) et ensuite au-dessus d'une seconde paire de tiges (6) entre lesquelles on a placé une tige mobile verticalement (7). On attache ensuite l'extrémité de la sangle (2) dans un dispositif de serrage (3), ce qui a pour effet de déplacer les tiges (5 et 7) vers le bas, contre la sangle (2), de même que la plaque (8) vers le bas, de façon que la tige (8a) pousse la sangle (2) vers le bas tandis que les ensembles rouleaux (10a, 10b) sont déplacés vers le haut pour venir contre la sangle (2) jusqu'à ce que celle-ci repose sur ces ensembles, l'alimentation en sangle (1) se bloquant, dès que la longueur déterminée de sangle (2) a été tirée. Ce dispositif peut comporter un élément destiné à replier la sangle (2) et à encercler la partie plissée (27) à l'aide d'un manchon (22). Ces moyens constituent une sangle à boucle préformée (2) comprenant une partie plissée dont la partie centrale (27) est entourée d'un manchon (22) servant à conserver les plis ensemble, de façon permanente.

Abstract: A method and composition is provided to control insect pests using pea extracts. Pea extracts, protein-rich, fibre-rich and starch-rich fractions were tested for toxicity against various grain storage pests. The pea protein-rich extract was found to be toxic against the lesser grain borer, red flour beetle, rice weevil, maize weevil, granary weevil and the rusty grain beetle.  The pea protein-rich extract also reduced the number of offspring of all insects tested. The protein-rich fraction was also found to be effective against the bertha army worm, diamondback, grasshopper, Indian meal moth and flea beetle. A partially purified active extract from the protein-rich fraction has been identified, using ion-exchange chromatography, reversed-phased chromatography, adsorption chromatography and gel filtration. However, the active ingredient within this fraction is not a protein greater than about 4000 daltons, nor is it a protease inhibitor, lectin or soyasaponin I.

Title: Broadcast data distribution system with asymmetric uplink/downlink bandwidths
Inventor: SMITH JONATHAN M
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 1998-02-17
Abstract: The broadcast data distribution system distributes directory and indexing information for the selection of viewing choices in broadcast and multicast networks with asymmetric uplink/downlink bandwidths. Examples of such systems include Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS) and Cable Television (CATV) systems.  More particularly, a preferred embodiment of the invention co-locates shared directory resources at directory servers which can provide the benefit of technology improvement through storage multiplexing to directory clients, which are assumed to have smaller, more heterogeneous and slowly-evolving memory and processing resources. The directory information stored at the directory clients is a subset of the information maintained at the directory servers selected on the basis of subscriber interest. This system automatically constructs both a target profile for each target object (program) that is broadcast, as well as a "target profile interest summary"  for each subscriber, which target profile interest summary describes the subscriber's interest level in various types of target objects. The system then evaluates the target profiles against the subscriber's target profile interest summaries to generate a subscriber-customized rank ordered listing of target objects most likely to be of interest to each subscriber, so that the subscriber can select from among these potentially relevant target objects, which were automatically selected by this system from the plethora of target objects available on the data distribution system.

Abstract: A material dispenser for receiving a material container and for dispensing material from the container is disclosed. The material dispenser includes a frame having a body, depending handle and rails that extend forward from the body. The material dispenser also includes a trigger actuated plunger mechanism that is operative to push a piston in the material container to dispense material from the container. The material container is held in the material dispenser by a rear receptacle and a distal receptacle. The rear receptacle is coupled to the rails and may be pivoted between a position that is facing the distal receptacle and a position that is oblique to the distal receptacle. The distal receptacle is also coupled to the rails and includes an opening that is located between the rails, and a clip that can engage and retain the material container. A material container may be mounted in the material dispenser by orienting the rear receptacle into the position that is oblique to the distal receptacle, inserting a rear end of the material container into the rear receptacle and pivoting the material container and rear receptacle in concert to align the material container with the rails to permit proper operation of the plunger mechanism. When a forward end of the material container reaches the distal receptacle, the material container must be forced into the distal receptacle past the retaining clip.
