IPC: G06Q40/06
Filed: 2004-06-14
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, to predict a future price range for a desired volume of a traded item. This includes determining a price range based on a set of historical transactions having a comparison volume corresponding to the desired volume of the traded item. It may also include selecting transactions from historical transaction data to generate the set of historical transactions. It may also include selecting historical transactions such that the set of historical transactions has a total volume substantially equal to the comparison volume. It may also include selecting historical transactions such that the set of historical transactions has a total volume greater than the comparison volume and selectively removing one or more historical transactions from the set of historical transactions until the set of historical transactions has a total volume substantially equal to the comparison volume.

Patent CA-2550046-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TISCHLER RALPH ERIC
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2006-06-13
Abstract: A method for transmitting a spreading data signal and an intelligence signal to allow a passive recovery. Before transmission, the spreading data signal and the intelligence signal are filtered by a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter, respectively. The filtered spreading data signal and the intelligence signal are then summed to compose a composite intelligence/spreading signal (CISS). Due to the high-pass and low-pass filtering, the spreading data signal and the intelligence signal of the CISS are separated in the frequency domain. Next, the CISS is modulated by a RF modulator before transmitting to a remote receiver. As the spreading data signal and the intelligence signal of the CISS are separated in the frequency domain, the remote receiver can easily recover the intelligence signal from the received modulated CISS without complicated conversion devices.

Title: Multihop radio network system
Inventor: NAKAGAWA NOBUYUKI
IPC: H04B7/24
Filed: 2004-09-09
Abstract: The transmission quality is improved by transmitting data through a plurality of paths of a multihop radio network. In a transmission source node (210) of (a), an encoder (212) performs a communication path encoding, and a modulator (216) performs a modulation. Unlike the conventional art, a packetizing part (214) designates relay paths and packetizes outputs from the encoder (212) for each of the paths, whereby signals are transmitted to a plurality of paths (in this case, two paths). In a receiver apparatus (See (c)) at a destination node (260), the signals from the plurality of paths are demodulated in a demodulator (262), and thereafter, the binary data as hard-decided are depacketized by and once stored in a depacketizing/buffering part (263) for each of the paths. Then, a reliability information calculator (265) provides a diversity combination to perform a combination taking the reliability into account. A combination decoder (267) performs, based on the combined signal, an error correction.

Patent CA-2559903-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WISHART PETER
IPC: A61H1/00
Filed: 2005-03-08
Abstract: The current invention is a spinal and upper cervical impulse treatment device and controller, which delivers multiple impulses of variable frequency and variable force in a linear direction, as well as rotational forces, for patient treatment. Known medical impulse devices are all hand held devices. In contrast, the spinal and upper cervical impulse treatment device is mounted on a fixed stand and armature, allowing reliable positioning and directional alignment in three dimensions.  Fixed mounting also facilitates ease of use. A safety coupling is incorporated to avoid patient injury due to excessive force on the treatment site in the fixed mounting scenario. Smooth sinusoidal waveforms are a preferred waveform for impulse delivery and sine waves are generated digitally in the apparatus. Data validation is used to ensure correct directional alignment prior to device activation Patient safety and consistency in treatment protocols are considered in the spinal and upper cervical impulse treatment design.

Title: Method, system, and apparatus for a radio frequency identification (rfid) waveguide for reading items in a stack
Inventor: MCKINZIE WILLIAM
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2005-06-20
Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for reading RFID tags (100) in a stack (220) of objects is described. For example, a pallet may hold a stack of objects, with one or more of the objects coupled to a RFID tag. A RFID reader (114) may be used to read the tags in the stack.
