Patent CA-2615685-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LITTLE JACK R JR
IPC: G01R27/00
Filed: 2005-08-01
Abstract: The enhanced detection of defects in the bulk dielectric material (Specimen) having radiation partly reflected at interfaces where the dielectric constant changes (e.g., where there are defects or structures). A sinusoidal or quasi~sinusoidal wave (Microwave Source) results. Localization or imaging of features is enhanced by exploiting the variation in distance resolution (Standoff+/-) in a sinusoidal or quasi-sinusoidal standing wave. At characteristic distances, the wave has a high slope and the amplitude of the wave varies strongly with small changes in distance (Standoff +/-). By inspecting at these characteristic distances (Standoff +/-), the resolution is enhanced. By systematically varying the position of the transducer or specimen, detailed images may be formed of the internal structure of the specimen across a range of depths. Defects and structures may be detected at smaller sizes than has previously been possible.

Title: Methods for predicting destinations from partial trajectories employing open-and closed-world modeling methods
Inventor: HORVITZ ERIC J
IPC: G08G1/0969
Filed: 2006-09-05
Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate inferring probability distributions over the destinations and/or routes of a user, from observations about context and partial trajectories of a trip.  Destinations of a trip are based on at least one of a prior and a likelihood based at least in part on the received input data. The destination estimator component can use one or more of a personal destinations prior, time of day and day of week, a ground cover prior, driving efficiency associated with candidate locations, and a trip time likelihood to probabilistically predict the destination. In addition, data gathered from a population about the likelihood of visiting previously unvisited locations and the spatial configuration of such locations may be used to enhance the predictions of destinations and routes.

Patent CA-2633639-A1 (CA)
Inventor: O'LEARY RAYMOND P
IPC: H02H3/06
Filed: 2006-12-04
Abstract: A virtual closed loop power distribution system couples a parallel source to a feeder upon an initial indication of a fault existing on a distribution feeder. If the fault is persistent, a fault protection system including fault protection devices segmenting the distribution feeder operates to isolate the fault segment of the distribution feeder from each of the coupled sources.  The coupled sources provide substantially uninterrupted service to the non-faulted segments of the distribution feeder until a circuit reconfiguration and return-to-normal function operates to restore the system upon repair of the fault.

Abstract: An automatic pizza shaping conveyor device and process of making a pizza are disclosed. The device has a dough machine, a shaping component, a heater and a conveyor. The dough machine receives handmade dough or machine-kneaded dough and processes the dough into pizza ready dough. The processed dough is sent by the conveyor to the shaping component, which processes the dough into 45_wedges and receives toppings which are added to the wedges. The heater then receives the wedges to which the toppings have been added, heats and cooks the wedges to produce the completed pizza product. The process takes uncooked or raw dough and produces an elongate sheet of pizza dough, cuts alternately oriented 45 degree shaped pie-shaped segments from the sheet of dough, but keeps the segments touching each other, applies pizza sauce, cheese and other ingredients to the cut segments to produce coated segments, and then conveys the coated segments through an oven.
