Patent CA-2310442-C (CA)
Inventor: LAM YUK-MING PETER
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2000-06-01
Granted: 2007-04-10
Abstract: A network monitoring agent is disclosed that monitors network conditions, such as traffic volume, and determines when to dynamically adjust the encoding scheme for one or more connections. The network monitoring agent can select an encoding standard based on, for example, current network traffic volume, network error characteristics, time of day or day of week. In the illustrative network traffic implementation, an encoding standard that provides a lower degree of compression and a higher quality level is selected at times of lighter network tragic. Likewise, as network traffic increases, an encoding standard that provides a higher degree of compression, although at a lower quality level, is selected in order to maximize the network utilization. The network monitoring agent notifies one or both of the devices associated with each connection of changes in the encoding scheme. Generally, both devices must change the compression algorithm at the same time, to ensure proper decoding of received packets. The initiating device inserts a notification in a field of a predefined number of packet headers to inform the recipient device that subsequent packets will be encoded with a different specified encoding algorithm, until further notice. Thereafter, the recipient device can load the appropriate codec to properly decompress and decode the received packets.

Title: Synthetic fiber rope to be driven by a rope sheave
Inventor: DE ANGELIS CLAUDIO
IPC: D07B1/16
Filed: 2000-06-09
Granted: 2007-04-10
Abstract: A synthetic fiber rope to be driven by a rope sheave is constructed as a twin rope (30) consisting of two ropes (14), (15) with opposite directions of twist (S), (Z) which are laid together and fixed in their positions parallel to, and at a distance from, each other, and so as not to rotate, by means of a common rope sheath (17). The rope sheath (17), which according to the invention is constructed over both ropes (14), (15), acts as a torque neutralizer which, when the twin rope (3) is loaded longitudinally, mutually offsets the oppositely oriented torques of the ropes (14), (15) which arise due to the structure of the rope, thereby causing over the entire cross-section of the twin rope (3) equalization of the torques from the sum of all the parts having right-hand strands and all the parts having left-hand strands. When the twin rope (3) runs over a rope sheave its behavior is free of rotation.

Abstract: The invention relates to embossing multi-ply paper products, for example, paper towels, tissue and napkins, in which an improved embossing arrangement is used which is particularly suitable for paper products which have been processed so as to impart undulations whose axes extend in a principal undulatory direction, typically in the machine direction. The absorbent sheet typically further includes undulations which extend in the cross (transverse direction) of the web such that the absorbent sheet has a biaxially undulatory structure. The undulations ma y be formed by the use of an undulatory creping blade. Defined parameters accommodate: the distance at which the undulations are spaced, the total surface area of the design (embossing) elements, the width and length of the embossi ng elements and the aspect ratio of the elements, as well as the angular orientation of the embossing elements with respect to the undulations.

Abstract: A spatial position and orientation sensor based on a three-dimensional imaging system provides information describing the actual three-dimensional spatial position relative to the sensor of objects in the field of view of the sensor. The sensor thus directly determines its location relative to its surroundings. Movement of the sensor, and thus movement of an object carrying the sensor, relative to the surroundings is detected by comparing repeated determinations of the location in three dimensions of fixed features in the surroundings relative to the sensor. An algorithm is used to calculate changes in the position of features in the field of view of the sensor relative to the sensor. Knowledge of changes in position relative to fixed features is used to determine movement in three dimensions of the sensor or an object carrying the sensor relative to the fixed features in the surroundings. The features in the surroundings may be natural or artificial. The true extent of the movement of the sensor in three dimensions is directly determined from the change in position and orientation of the sensor relative to the fixed features in the surroundings. The extent of the movement is used to determine the new position and orientation of the sensor relative to a previous position. When starting from a predetermined location the actual position and orientation of the sensor may be reliably tracked over a period of time by accumulating the measured movements over that time.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode de détection d'acide nucléique variant dont la séquence nucléotidique diffère d'une autre au niveau d'une seule position ou de plusieurs positions. La méthode utilise un ensemble d'oligonucléotides chimères contenant des monomères d'ADN ainsi que des monomères d'une nouvelle classe d'analogues d'ADN, l'acide nucléique bloqué (LNA). Les oligomères de LNA obéissent aux règles d'appariement des bases de Watson-Crick et ils forment des duplex lesquels sont significativement plus stables que des duplex similaires formés par l'ADN. Les oligonucléotides contenant LNA dans lesquels le ou les nucléotides de LNA sont rencontrés en position 3' peuvent être prolongés au moyen d'enzymes uniquement là où le ou les nucléotides, lequel/lesquels est/sont en position terminale dans le sens de l'extension, est/sont complémentaire(s) des nucléotides correspondants de l'acide nucléique (du seul allèle) à détecter. Ainsi, la discrimination entre les allèles sans hybridation différentielle ultérieure avec des oligonucléotides marqués est possible. L'invention concerne également des réactifs de mise en application des méthodes ainsi que des applications de la méthode.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selectively heating cancerous or benign conditions of the breast is achieved by irradiation of the breast tissue with adaptive phased array focused microwave energy. The microwave energy is focused in the breast, by compressing the breast and either inserting a single electric-field probe in the central portion of the breast, or placing two noninvasive electric-field probes on opposite sides of the breast skin. Feedback signals from the electric field probe(s) adjust the microwave phase that is delivered to waveguide applicators positioned on opposite sides of the compressed breast tissue. Temperature feedback sensors measure skin temperatures during treatment to adjust the microwave power delivered to the waveguide applicators to avoid overheating the skin. The microwave energy delivered to the waveguide applicators is monitored in real time during treatment, and the treatment is completed when a desired total microwave energy dose has been administered.
