Patent CA-2161617-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHUETTE ANDREAS
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: In optimization of combinatory optimization problems, it is possible  to  perform  deterministic  as  well  as  more  or  less randomized searches.  A new allocation matrix is generated, based on a more or less coincidentally selected, but valid allocation matrix.  A check is made thereafter whether it constitutes a better solution than the old allocation matrix.  If this is the case, this matrix is used as the new starting point for the further search.  If this is not the case, the old allocation matrix is kept as the starting point for the further search.  This process is continued until the time made available for the solution has expired, or until it is determined by the method itself that no better solution can be found in the course of the instantaneously realized search.
Patent CA-2162063-A1 (CA)
Title: Pin-less drool prevention system
Inventor: BROWN DAVID
IPC: B29C45/18
Filed: 1995-11-03
Abstract: A multi-level stacked mold having at least two and as many as four levels of cavities has a stock distribution mold block centred axially of the stacked mold blocks, the axially extending stock inlet passage to the distribution block connecting with radially off-set stock transfer passages thatcross the axially openable mold block interfaces, into the adjoining mold blocks. These openable stock transfer passages, are each provided at their respective, non-encapsulated, radially off-set, opening interfaces with a valve-less anti-drool arrangement. The mold flow passage system is subject to continual, extreme, thermal cycling and cyclical mechanical loading, during the repeated opening-and-closing cycles of the mold. Each separable anti-drool sealing interface has a relatively axially displaceable portion extending to bridge the initial gap opening between adjacent mold blocks and serving as an expansible piston means. This extension of the displaceable "expansible piston means" portion is pressure responsive and serves to increase the internal volume of the adjacent transfer passage, while permitting equalizing the pressure of stock in the passage to atmospheric pressure, thus reducing the likelihood of the drooling of liquid plastic into the opening interspace, or theinduction of atmospheric air into the flow passages.

Patent CA-2169745-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARRETT PAUL ALEXANDER
IPC: G10L25/78
Filed: 1994-09-14
Abstract: Speech is distinguished from noise by a spectral comparison (114, 115) of an input signal with a stored noise estimate (113). Updating of the noise estimate (in a buffer (113)) is permitted during periods when speech is absent under control of an auxiliary detector (200). In order to improve operation in the presence of signals with strong harmonic components (e.g. signalling tones) an LPC prediction gain is computed from the input (x(i)) and a residual (y(i)) obtained from the input following filtering by a filter (105) having a response complementary to the frequency spectrum of the input, and if the gain exceeds a threshold, buffer updating is suppressed.

Filed: 1994-12-29
Abstract: Un amplificateur d'énergie d'une clôture électrique comprend une mise à la terre extérieure telle qu'un pieu de mise à la terre (16). L'amplificateur d'énergie de la clôture électrique comprend traditionnellement un transformateur (T) comportant un enroulement primaire (L¿1?) et un enroulement secondaire (L¿2?), dont une borne extérieure (9) est connectée au conducteur (17) dans la clôture électrique et l'autre borne extérieure (11) est mise à la terre, des impulsions de haute tension étant induites sur l'enroulement secondaire (L¿2?) lors de l'application des impulsions de tension à l'enroulement primaire (L¿1?). Pour déterminer la qualité de la mise à la terre, la tension sur une petite partie de l'enroulement secondaire est obtenue en régime capacitif au moyen d'un enroulement supplémentaire (L¿3?) dans le transformateur (T). Pour évaluer cette tension, elle est connectée, uniquement pour une polarité déterminée, à un circuit de charge pour un condensateur (C¿2?), qui est déchargé sur une résistance connue (R¿2?, R¿3?). La tension (V¿21?) sur ce condensateur (C¿2?) est traitée pour déterminer la qualité de la mise à la terre. Ensuite, la différence de temps peut être déterminée entre le temps (t¿0?), lors du début de l'induction d'une impulsion de haute tension sur l'enroulement secondaire (L¿2?), et le temps (t¿1?, t¿2?), lors du début d'un changement de tension du signal obtenu en régime capacitif et lors du retour de la tension à sa valeur fixe. Ces différences de temps sont comparées aux valeurs de seuil pour déterminer la qualité de la mise à la terre. La tension obtenue en régime capacitif peut également être utilisée pour effectuer d'autres déterminations dans l'amplificateur d'énergie de la clôture électrique.

Title: Mini-animalerie
Inventor: VACHON RICHARD
IPC: F24F3/16
Filed: 1996-07-04
Abstract: Les allergies reliées à la présence d'animaux imposent des limites de plus en plus évidentes.          Dans les lieux publics  (garderies,  écoles,  hôpitaux,  etc.)  la présence d'animaux est de moins en moins tolérée compte tenu des allergies qu'elle provoque chez certains individus.  Ainsi, les parents  d'enfants  asthmatiques  s'objectent  catégoriquement  à l'utilisation, en classe, d'animaux à des fins éducatives.   La zoothérapie ne peut être envisagée auprès de patients allergiques aux animaux.          La présente invention se veut une solution aux personnes désirant la présence d'animaux sans que soient incommodés les individus qui y sont allergiques.          L'animal est placé dans une petite animalerie,  laquelle sera maintenue en pression négative à l'aide d'un ventilateur.          L'air, manipulé par le ventilateur, passe par une série de filtres avant d'être rejeté dans le local contenant l'animalerie. Ainsi, l'air se trouve débarrassé des particules allergènes émises par l'animal.  Les personnes allergiques aux animaux peuvent donc côtoyer  ces  derniers  sans  se  soucier  de  leurs  problèmes d'allergies.
