Patent CA-2621799-C (CA)
Inventor: POWERS RICHARD
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2006-09-06
Granted: 2013-07-02
Abstract: The present invention determines the resonant frequency of a wireless sensor by adjusting the phase and frequency of an energizing signal until the frequency of the energizing signal matches the resonant frequency of the sensor. The system energizes the sensor with a low duty cycle, gated burst of RF energy having a predetermined frequency. The system receives the ring down response of the sensor and determines the resonant frequency of the sensor, which is used to calculate a physical parameter.  The system uses a pair of phase locked loops to adjust the phase and the frequency of the energizing signal. The system identifies false locks by detecting an unwanted beat frequency in the coupled signal, as well as determining whether the coupled signal exhibits pulsatile characteristics that correspond to a periodic physiological characteristic, such as blood pressure.

Abstract: A method is provided for mastering optically variable devices (OVDs) used to authenticate optical discs. The method generally includes the steps of providing a laser beam recorder (LBR), introducing a substrate to the LBR, and exposing a portion of the substrate to the LBR. The mastering system thus includes the LBR, which has a laser that emits a beam, a processor or computer for programming or otherwise controlling the beam in order to expose the substrate and create the desired optical effect. Depending on the material used for the substrate, the exposure is then developed, if necessary, and processed to generate a master for the OVD. The OVD can then be replicated in order to provide authentic resultant products or articles, such as optical discs.

Granted: 2011-12-20
Abstract: A method of cleaning papermaking felt (10) by applying a low concentration of a cleaning solution through the oscillating needle nozzles (14). The detergent is applied intermittently while paper is being manufactured. Each cleaning period lasts for at least the length of time required for the nozzles to cover the entire surface of the felt (10), and preferably twice that period of time. The application of cleaning solution is then discontinued for a period of time, generally equal to the time the cleaning detergent is applied to the felt (10). This cycle is repeated continuously as the paper is being manufactured. The chemistry of the cleaning solution can be changed, for example, from acidic to basic, alternately, to enhance cleaning performance.

Abstract: A separator 15 has a concavo-convex structure formed in mutually reversed shapes on two opposite sides thereof to define flow paths of different fluids on the respective two sides. The concavo-convex structure includes multiple first projections 46 formed and protruded on one side of the two opposite sides and arranged at intervals having a preset regularity. The concavo-convex structure also includes multiple second projections 42 formed and protruded on the other side of the two opposite sides in a specific area corresponding to an area for formation of the multiple first projections 46 on the one side and arranged at intervals having a preset regularity. The concavo-convex structure further includes reinforcing elements 47 protruded on the one side. Each of the reinforcing elements 47 is formed as a convex in a specific shape of connecting multiple positions where the first projections 46 are expected to be formed according to the preset regularity, while avoiding positions corresponding to the second projections 42 formed on the other side. This arrangement effectively prevents a potential trouble caused by deformation of the separator due to a pressure difference between the flow pressures of the respective fluids flowing on the respective sides of the separator.

Then, a geometric correction to each ones of esti-mated size-related parameter values is ap-plied, to compensate for the random ori-entation of corresponding distinct gran-ules.    Finally, the size distribution of bulk matter is statistically estimated from the corrected size-related parameter values.
