Title: Subscriptionless location of wireless devices
Inventor: ANDERSON ROBERT J
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2007-12-21
Abstract: Techniques for locating wireless devices involve a wireless device making measurements of signals transmitted by geographically distributed base stations within a wireless network. If some key site information is known about these transmitters, such as the transmitter location, transmit signal power, signal propagation, and transmit signal timing, measurements of these transmit signals by a device to be located can be used to determine the position of the device. In this example, all information exchange between the device and the location node is facilitated by a data link that is not provided by the wireless network providing signals used in the location estimation process. Accordingly, devices may be located based on downlink signal measurements made by the devices, where the devices are not part of the wireless network, are not provided wireless service by the network, and do not possess the ability to transmit signals to the wireless network, and where communication resources of the wireless network are not consumed to facilitate location.

Title: System and method for video detection of smoke and flame
Inventor: FINN ALAN MATTHEW
IPC: G06V20/13
Filed: 2007-01-16
Abstract: A method for detecting flame and smoke using spatial analysis of video input (40) provided by a video detector. The video input (40) consists of a number of individual frames, wherein analysis is performed on each individual frame to detect and outline regions that may contain smoke or flame (42). Based on the defined outline or boundary of each detected region, spatial features associated with the region are extracted (52), such as perimeter/area and surface area/volume. The extracted spatial features are related to one another (54) to determine the likelihood that the region contains smoke or flame. Extracted spatial features may be related to one another using a power law relationship that provides an indication of the turbulence associated with a bounded region, wherein turbulence is a characteristic of both flame and smoke.

Patent CA-2680521-A1 (CA)
Inventor: APARIN VLADIMIR
IPC: H04B1/52
Filed: 2008-03-25
Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for reducing adverse effects of transmit signal leakage in a full-duplex, wireless communication system. The disclosure describes techniques for reducing adverse effects of second order distortion and cross-modulation distortion of transmit signal leakage from a transmitter via a duplexer. The techniques may be effective in rejecting at least a portion of a transmit leakage signal, thereby reducing or eliminating distortion. The adaptive filter may include an estimator circuit that generates a transmit leakage signal estimate. A summer subtracts the estimate from the received signal to cancel transmit leakage and produce an output signal. The estimator circuit generates the transmit leakage signal estimate based on a reference signal and feedback from the output signal. The reference signal approximates the carrier signal used to generate the transmit signal in the transmitter. The reference signal may be provided by the same oscillator used to produce the transmit carrier signal.

IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2008-03-19
Abstract: A surgical instrument that may include a housing, a transducer engaged with the housing which can produce vibrations, and an end-effector engaged with the transducer. The surgical instrument can further include an adjustable sheath extending from the housing where the sheath is movable relative to the distal tip of the end-effector and where the distance between the distal tip of the sheath and the distal tip of the end-effector can be set such that the sheath can act as a depth stop. The sheath can be adjusted such that, when the distal tip of the sheath contacts the tissue or bone being incised, the surgeon can determine that the appropriate depth of the incision has been reached. In other embodiments, the end-effector can be moved with respect to the sheath in order to adjust the distance between the distal tip of the end-effector and the distal tip of the sheath.
