Patent CA-2114318-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FARREY NANCY L
IPC: F25D21/04
Filed: 1993-04-12
Abstract: A frost control system is described for inhibiting and removing frost from the door (8) of a storage locker. Relatively cool air is received by an inlet to the frost control system at an inlet placed above the door. The air is drawn into the system by a blow-er (18a, 18b) which forces the air through the ducts (26, 28) of the system. The air passes through strip heaters (30, 32) within the vertical ducts (26, 28) of the defrost system positioned on either side of the door (8). The warm air is discharged horizontally ac-ross the bottom portion of the door and simultaneously rises creating a blanket of relatively warm air in comparison to the am-bient area. Discharge apertures (36, 28) are included in the ends of the vertical ducts (26, 28) which blow a portion of the warmed air to the base of the door (8) to enhance coverage of the door by the warmed air.

Filed: 1993-06-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus of performing handoffs in a cellular communication system, such method including the step of providing a switch at each point in a signal path bridging at least two cells.  The method further includes the steps of determining (102) that handoff of a communication transaction from a serving cell to a target cell is indicated and identifying (103) a switch in a signal path to the serving cell bridging the serving and target cells.  The method finally includes handing off (104) through the bridging switch. The apparatus of such method of performing handoff (104) includes the inclusion of a switch at each signal distribution point bridging at least two service coverage areas. Handoff within such a system may then by initiated from a serving base site based upon information contained in a means for configuring, and requesting that handoff occur within the switch bridging serving and target cells. The method may also be practiced under matrix switching or packet switching techniques.

Title: Improved building wall and method of constructing same
Inventor: JONES ROGER H JR
IPC: E04B2/86
Filed: 1993-05-27
Abstract: 2136448 9324711 PCTABScor01 A simple, environmentally benign building (2) for on-site erection and fabrication is made of monolithic, architectural, strutural walls (1), beams, girders, joists and panels (8) of relatively high physical strength which exhibit great durability and resistance to fire, wind and seismic damage and which have highly desirable acoustic and thermal transfer characteristics. The wall is constructed by casting a core (10) of flowable fibrous, foam cement mix between two, thin panels (8) of manufactured, exterior-grade fiberglass reinforced cement board. Particles and proteins from the core mix penetrate, migrate into and fill interstitial spaces in the cement board, forming a strong, continuous and homogenous bond between the fill material (10) and the board itself. This imparts additional strenght to the cement board by filling the interstitial voids, creating a solid, homogeneous wall. The wall, girder, etc. structure is fabricated at the building site to form seamless, monolithic wall units according to the lost-form system of casting by erecting, assembling and appropriately connecting the fiber cement boards (8). An outer cement board (8) is used as a permanent form creating one side of the building wall. The fiber-foam-cement core supplies structural strength, insulating properties and monolithic bonding of all components. An inner, cement board (8) creates the interior side of the wall.

Inventor: ILMONIEMI RISTO
IPC: A61B5/308
Filed: 1993-11-30
Abstract: The present invention is related to a method and an apparatus for separating the different components of evoked responses and spontaneous activity of the brain, as well as signals measured from the heart, from each other. The apparatus according to the invention presents the measured signals in graphic form and the user selects from the signals such a time instant, time interval or frequency band, which plausibly can be related to a given source component. The apparatus forms a signal vector from the temporal or frequency signals thus selected, projects the unprocessed signal onto the signal vector thus formed, and subtracts the projection from the unprocessed signals, whereby the projected vector and the set of signals remaining after the subtraction step provide the separation of the unprocessed signals into the selected component and such a part which is clean of contribution of the selected component.
