Patent CA-2509548-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALININ YURI Y
IPC: B44B3/00
Filed: 2003-12-10
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a ring (i.e. class, championship, or affiliation) begins by receiving order data specifying a series of personalization elements, such as the addition of text and icon designs. A geometric model f or each personalization item is constructed. To assemble text panels, the operating system provides font geometry for a desired TrueType font. Then a set of splines are created from the font geometry and are then tessellated t o generate polyline sets of data, which are then spaced and mapped between two boundary curves. The personalization elements are then projected onto one of the model's 3D surfaces. A set of machining instructions for a milling machi ne is generated by obtaining a set of machining pattern strategies, generating a set of curves, projecting the toolpath onto the surface of the ring to calculate the 3D toolpath, and rotating it to a desired angle.

Title: Algorithm for rfid security
Inventor: MERCER THOMAS C
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2004-10-04
Abstract: Techniques for detecting radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags are disclosed. For example, an exit control system is described that detects unauthorized removal of articles from a protected facility. A series of antennas are setup to produce interrogation corridors located near the exit of the protected area. RFID tags are attached to the articles to be protected.  Each tag includes information that uniquely identifies the article to which it is affixed and status information as to whether the articles removal from the facility is authorized. The RF reader outputs RF signals through the antennas to create electromagnetic fields within the interrogation corridors. The reader outputs RF power from a single port to the multiple antennas via a splitter/combiner. In this way, a single RF reader with only one transmitter/receiver port simultaneously interrogates multiple antennas. A  variety of techniques are described by which the reader can detect the removal of an unauthorized article.

Title: Vertical take-off and landing aircraft
Inventor: UNZICKER STEFAN
IPC: B64C11/48
Filed: 2002-10-11
Abstract: The present invention discloses an aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing. The aircraft comprises a single constant speed variable pitch propeller (3), a fuselage (2), an empennage (21, 22) and main wings (6) fixed to the fuselage (2); arranged similar to a conventional aircraft, but sized and positioned for vertical flight. A stator is positioned a minimal distance behind the propeller so as to compensate the torque caused by the propeller.  The aircraft comprises high lift and high drag devices such as flaps (19) and a leading edge slat (7) on the main wings (6), and a fuselage spoiler (18).  The positioning of the center of gravity (23) allows for a stable nose-up take-off and landing, NUTOL, position. The propeller generated airflow (PGA) over the main wings (6) and high lift and drag devices (7, 18, 19) creates lift and drag forces. Due to the NUTOL position, the sum of the propeller thrust, the lift forces and the drag forces on the aircraft results in a vertical force and no forward (horizontal) force, thus enabling vertical flight. Roll, pitch and yaw control is achieved by aerodynamic surfaces positioned inside and outside of the PGA.

Abstract: Oil shale and/or oil sands are utilized to generate electricity and/or steam at the site of the oil shale/sands deposit in an in situ process for recovering oil from the deposit. Bulk shale/sands material is removed from the deposit and combusted to generate thermal energy.  The thermal energy is utilized to heat water to generate steam. The steam can be used directly in the in situ process or utilized to drive a steam turbine power generator located in close proximity to the deposit to generate electricity. The electricity generated on-site may be utilized to drive an in situ conversion process that recovers oil from the oil shale/sands deposit. Also, the exit steam generated by the on-site turbine generator can be used on-site to drive the in-situ conversion process.
