Patent CA-2302476-C (CA)
Title: Casting steel strip
Inventor: STREZOV LAZAR
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 2000-01-31
Granted: 2009-01-20
Abstract: In twin roll casting of steel strip, molten steel is introduced into the nip 16B between parallel casting rolls (16) to create casting pool (30) supported on casting surfaces (16A) of the rolls and the rolls are rotated to deliver solidified strip (20) downwardly from the nip. Casting surfaces (16A) are textured by a random pattern of discrete projections having pointed peaks and the strip is moved away from the casting pool at a speed of more than 60 meters per minute. In order to suppress chatter defects, the molten steel has a manganese content of less than 0.6% by weight and a silicon content in the range of 0.1 to 0.35% by weight. The random texture may be produced by grit blasting the casting surfaces on a substrate covered by a protective coating. Alternatively the texture may be produced by chemical deposition or electrodeposition of a coating onto a substrate to form the casting surfaces.

Title: System for heating solid tissues and use of same
Inventor: BEHL ROBERT S
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 1998-09-24
Granted: 2011-03-08
Abstract: Methods for heating tissue by delivering radio frequency energy through tissue electrodes (104) comprise controlling energy delivery so that an abrupt increase in impedance between the electrodes (104), and the tissue (T) is observed typically in the form of an abrupt decrease in power delivered to the electrodes (104). The power at which the impedance increases and/or the time required to induce such an increase in impedance are relied on to determine acceptable ranges to achieve a maximum sustainable delivery of radio frequency energy to the tissue (T) consistent with complete, rapid, and uniform heating of the tissue (T).

Title: Synchronization of transmit power level settings for soft-handoff in wireless systems by the use of power level constraints
Inventor: WU XIAO CHENG
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-07-06
Granted: 2004-04-20
Abstract: Base station in a soft handoff programmed to have a threshold power level to control the power transmitted by the base station on the forward link. When the threshold power level is a minimum-threshold power level, each base station (312, 314, 316, 612, 614, 616) maintains its transmit power level at or above the minimum-threshold power level. When the threshold power level is a maximum-threshold power level, each base station (31 Z, 314, 316, 612, 614, 616) maintains its transmit power level at or below the maximum-threshold power level. Preferably, all power levels are expressed in decibels (dB) relative to the pilot's power level. The threshold power level can be adjustable or fixed. In the case where the threshold power level is fixed, each base station is programmed with the fixed threshold power level, and each base station decides how to adjust its transmit power level locally based on the fixed threshold power level without input from other base stations. In the case where the threshold power level is adjustable, the threshold power level is adjusted by a threshold step size responsive to the transmit power level being substantially equal to the threshold power level for at least a predetermined percentage of a time period. There are two alternatives on how each base station decides how to adjust its transmit power level. In one alternative, each base station (312, 314, 316) participating in a soft handoff sends its power control information to a processor (328) which adjusts the threshold power level and notifies each base station of the new adjusted threshold power level. In the meantime, each base station uses its current threshold power level to locally adjust its transmit power level. In the other alternative, each base station (612, 614, 616) adjusts the threshold power level locally without input from other base stations, and uses the threshold power level to adjust its transmit power level.      Figure 5A.

Abstract: A data transmitter (10) transmits packets each with a sequence number and a priority added. A data receiver (20) detects any packet loss by referring to the sequence numbers added to the packets, and if detecting any packet of high priority as having been lost, requests for packet retransmission. Based on information about thus detected packet loss, the data receiver (20) generates and transmits an RR packet (110) indicating the packet reception state. The data transmitter (10) extracts, from the RR packet (110), a packet loss ratio (200), and selects a manner of priority assignment and reassigns a priority to a packet requested by the data receiver (20).

Abstract: A character is represented in a character generator as a set of polygons. The character may be manipulated using three-dimensional animation techniques. A  code for a character may be used to access a set of curves defining the outline of the character. This set of curves is transformed into a set of polygons. The set of polygons may be rendered as a three-dimensional object. The set of polygons may be created by converting the curves into sets of connected line segments and then tessellating the polygon defined by the line segments.  Animation properties are represented using a normalized scale along a path or over time. Animation may be provided in a manner that is independent of the spatial and temporal resolution of the video to which it is applied. Such animation may be applied to characters defined by a set of polygons. Various three-dimensional spatial transformations, lighting effects and other colorizations may be provided. A  user interface for editing a character string may provide two alternate displays. A first display allows a user to input and view any desired portion of the character string for the purpose of editing. A  second display allows a user to view how the character string appears at a selected point in time during a titling effect for the purpose of animation. In both displays, the text is displayed in a three-dimensional form. This interface may be combined with a timeline editing interface for editing an associated video program, or other user interface, to permit layering of titling effects and adjustment of animation properties, positioning and timing.

Abstract: To fillet killed and headless fish broodstock, the abdominal cavity of which is opened up, especially the species tilapia, dorsal and ventral cuts are made up to the backbone and cleanly cut separating cuts are made in the remaining area attached to the backbone, while the fillets are peeled from the ribs. The aim of the invention is to enable machines to be used for such fish, rendering extensive manual treatment superfluous. Before the fillets are peeled from the ribs, the ventral folds are trimmed by a machine to remove parts which reduce the quality of the fillet, while the peeling cuts are made with two degrees of freedom in order to adapt to the particularly stiff rib profile.
