Patent CA-2494653-A1 (CA)
Title: Synthetic sonar antenna
Inventor: BILLON DIDIER
IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a synthetic sonar antenna and particularly to the self-calibration of such an antenna. The number of sensors of the reception antenna (101) is minimized by fixing the reduced pitch between the sensors, which is imposed by the precision of the self-calibration, exclusively at the two ends of the antenna. In an alternative embodiment, the reduced pitch is fixed to only one end of the antenna. The inventive synthetic sonar antenna allows the self-calibration to be made more precise by means of a smaller number of sensors than in prior art.
Patent CA-2495667-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALLADI DURGA P
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2003-08-15
Abstract: An outer decoder and an inner decoder encode a block of information to be transmitted, to improve protection by adding redundancy. The redundancy permits decoding of the information from less than a complete encoded block of information. Time re-alignment of two transmissions of the same content from two base stations can mitigate the problem of duplicated frames. The user of the subscriber station can experience seamless service without repetition of content, even when handing over to a new cell while receiving a buffer of broadcast content.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying a plurality of profit and risk related indicators are described. A graphical interface displays and dynamically updates a plurality of profit/loss (P/L) indicators including a realized, net, and open indicator. The net and open indicators are based on a trader's net position and a current market level, while the realized indicator is based on trader's buys and sells associated with a tradeable objects. In one embodiment, the plurality of indicators are displayed in relation to a plurality of money management regions defining a maximum order quantity and a maximum net position controlling the trader's trades. The graphical interface may also display a plurality of potential risk/gain indicators in relation to a realized profit indicator so that a trader, before entering an order having a predetermined order quantity, can view a potential risk/gain in entering into a predetermined net position in view of potential market movements. In other embodiments, system and method for money management are presented.  According to one embodiment, a money management application intercepts an order before the order is sent to an exchange, and determines a plurality of P/L levels, based on which the money management application then selects a set of money management parameters to be used to control or modify order parameters before the order is sent to the exchange. The plurality of profit levels may include a net profit level determined based on a trader's net position and a current market level, a realized profit level determined based on trader's sells and buys associated with the tradeable object, or an open profit level determined based on the realized and net profit levels.

Abstract: A method of removing iron oxide scale from processed sheet metal comprises the steps of: providing a surface conditioning apparatus (10); and conditioning a surface of the processed sheet metal (46) with the surface conditioning apparatus (10). In general, the iron oxide scale generally comprises three layers prior to surface conditioning: a wustite layer (88), a magnetite layer (90), and a hematite layer (92). The wustite layer is bonded to a base metal substrate of the processed sheet metal. The magnetite layer is bonded to the wustite layer, and the hematite layer is bonded to the magnetite layer. The surface conditioning apparatus (10) has at least one surface conditioning member (70). The step of conditioning the surface of the processed sheet metal includes bringing the at least one surface conditioning member into engagement with the surface of the sheet metal. The surface conditioning member is brought into engagement with the surface in a manner to remove substantially all of the hematite and magnetite layers from the surface, and in a manner to remove some but not all of the wustite layer from the surface, so that a portion of the wustite layer remains bonded to the base metal substrate of the processed sheet metal after surface conditioning.
