IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2008-06-03
Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting an audio signal through a bone of a user includes receiving an audio signal from a first microphone positioned at an entrance or in a first ear canal; and vibrating a first transducer to audibly transmit the audio signal through the bone. A second microphone can be positioned in a second ear canal and the two microphones preserve and deliver inter-aural sound level and phase differences that naturally occur so that the user can perceive directionality.
Patent CA-2697807-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOROKHOV ALEXEI
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2008-09-19
Abstract: Techniques for transmitting data with hybrid automatic retransmission (HARQ) and interference mitigation are described.  In one design, a transmitter processes a packet of data in accordance with a rate and sends at least one transmission of the packet to a receiver with HARQ. In one design, the transmitter sends a trigger message to the receiver to trigger the receiver to send a request to reduce interference to interfering station(s). The transmitter may send a fust transmission of the packet (i) after the trigger message, e.g., in consecutive frames of a single HARQ interlace, or (ii) along with the trigger message in the same frame.  The number of transmissions to send for the packet may be dependent on whether the interfering station(s) reduce interference to the receiver. The packet transmission may terminate early if interference mitigation is successful or may terminate late if interference mitigation is unsuccessful.

Title: Method for treating oil and gas wells
Inventor: SPANGLE LLOYD
IPC: C09K8/487
Filed: 2008-10-22
Abstract: A two step process for treating an oil or gas well. The first step uses a cross linking agent, such as borax, as a preliminary wash for the well following drilling. The cross linking agent cleans the well of excess mud and pre-coats the tubing and the formation surfaces with the cross linking agent. The second step introduces a cement-polymer mixture into the well. A polymer, such as for example polyvinyl alcohol, that undergoes cross linking when exposed to the cross linking agent is employed. When the polymer comes into contact with the cross linking agent in the well, cross linking of the polymer occurs. This cross linking helps to prevent fluid loss into the formation. Also, because the cross linking agent wash previously cleaned the surfaces of the tubing and the formation, better bonding between the cement and the surfaces of the tubing and the formation occurs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring method for determining a measurement position of a probe element 6 using a coordinate measuring machine 1 having a base and members that can be moved relative to the base and relative to each other, wherein one of the members, as the probe member TG, comprises a probe element 6, so that the probe element 6 can move freely within a prescribed volume of space, wherein the measurement position is captured by the probe element 6, a measurement variable set is taken by measuring measurement variables linked to a measurement position of the members, wherein the measurement position is determined by a relative location of the members to each other and of at least one of the members to the base, and the measurement position is determined relative to the base. According to the invention, a plurality of different measurement settings M1, M2, M3 are generated in a stationary state of the probe element 6 in the measurement position, wherein the capture is repeated anew for each of the same, so that at least one measurement variable set is captured for each measurement setting M1, M2, M3.

Abstract: A rules engine program is driven by one or more stored "rules" to make rights determinations normally made by a human operator; that is whether a request for a right can be granted, what price should be paid by the requestor and how much royalty should be paid to the rightsholder. In order to avoid specific coding for each right, the rules and parameters necessary to make the required determinations are constructed to form a standard set of reusable rule records that can be linked in different ways to process different rights. Additional display rules that are linked to the type of use control a graphic user interface in order to prompt the user for information needed to decide whether the request can be granted and to display to the user a determined price if the request is granted.
