Title: Allocation de voie sur une base prioritaire dans un systeme de communications par satellite
Inventor: MUNDAY MARTIN
IPC: H04L12/851
Filed: 2003-05-02
Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un système de communications dans lequel des voies peuvent être allouées lors d'une période de faible trafic avec une priorité de réquisition plus faible que pour des voies normales, et peuvent être réquisitionnées au profit de voies normales lorsqu'il y a moins de voies disponibles. Lors d'une période de faible trafic, seules les voies normales peuvent être allouées. Un ensemble de voies disponibles est maintenu au-dessus d'un niveau minimal par la réquisition de voies de moindre priorité. Des voies de moindre priorité peuvent être allouées à partir de l'ensemble seulement lorsqu'il atteint une taille supérieure à un seuil. L'avantage de ce procédé c'est que des voies peuvent être allouées à des applications non essentielles durant la période de faible trafic sans affecter sensiblement la disponibilité de voies durant la période de pointe, favorisant ainsi une utilisation plus efficace de la capacité de voie en période de faible trafic.

Abstract: A method and system for displaying free-space, full color, high-resolution video or still images while simultaneously enabling the user to have real-time direct interaction with the visual images. The system comprises a self-generating means for creating a dynamic, non-solid particle cloud by ejecting atomized condensate present in the surrounding air, in a controlled fashion, into an invisible particle cloud. A projection system consisting of an image generating means and projection optics, projects an image onto the particle cloud. Any physical intrusion, occurring spatially within the image region, is captured by a detection system and the intrusion information is used to enable real-time user interaction in updating the image. This input/output (I/O) interface provides a display and computer link, permitting the user to select, translate and manipulate free-space floating visual information beyond the physical constraints of the device creating the image.

Abstract: In a method and system for securitizing contracts valued on an index, a special purpose entity (SPE) (110) is provided and holds as substantially all of its assets a derivative contract with a contract dealer (120). The contract has an initial notional value and is tied to an index related to items traded by a multilateral transactional execution facility (150), such as futures contracts traded on an exchange. The held contract is also scalable so that the notional value can be increased on demand in exchange for a corresponding payment to the contract dealer (120) and decreased on demand in exchange for a corresponding payment from the contract dealer (120). The SPE (110) issues exchange tradable securities (130) that derive value based on the value of the contract held by the SPE (110).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de refroidissement pour un appareil distributeur de bière pour particuliers équipé d'un pont thermique induit à capacité de refroidissement latente. Le pont peut présenter une cavité remplie d'une solution de refroidissement avec au moins une série d'ailettes d'échange thermique qui sont espacées les unes des autres et qui se déploient sensiblement longitudinalement et de manière interstitielle à partir d'au moins une paroi de la cavité dans le but de favoriser le transfert thermique dans cette cavité. Le pont se trouve en relation de conduction thermique via une plaque de refroidissement entre un tonneau renfermant de la bière et un dispositif de refroidissement thermoélectrique à effet Peltier conçu pour refroidir la solution de refroidissement par extraction de la chaleur de cette dernière et transfert dans un puits thermique actif. Un ventilateur dirige l'air horizontalement le long des ailettes du puits thermique et vers deux ouïes latérales de ce puits. Ce système empêche la chaleur d'augmenter et d'affecter le fonctionnement d'autres composants du système. Le solution de refroidissement peut contenir 5 % en volume de glycol, avec un point de gel inférieur à celui de l'eau, ce qui améliore le banc thermique. La plaque de refroidissement comporte un chauffage à résistance électrique intégré qui maintient la température de la bière contre le fond du tonneau au-dessus du point de gel de la bière. Ce système de refroidissement présente un faible encombrement et favorise le rafraîchissement de la bière à la température de consommation désirée.

Title: Cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase
Inventor: NARAYANAN KARTHIKEYAN
IPC: A23L33/00
Filed: 2005-06-14
Abstract: After-cooking darkening is a gray-black discoloration of the potato tuber, formed after cooking by the oxidation of an iron-chlorogenic acid complex. Cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase (C4H) is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of chlorogenic acid. The full-length c4h gene was cloned and sequenced from both genomic DNA and cDNA of Russet Burbank tuber tissue by PCR and 5' and 3' RACE. The gene expression levels of c4h were examined by Northern hybridization in potato cultivars varying in susceptibility to after-cooking darkening. Results suggest that there is a relationship between the levels of c4h gene expression and the degree of after-cooking darkening in potato tubers.

Patent CA-2516578-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CUMMINGS WILLIAM J
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 2005-08-22
Abstract: By selectively placing color filters with different transmittance spectrums on an array of modulator elements each having the same reflectance spectrum, a resultant reflectance spectrum for each modulator element and it's respective color filter is created. In one embodiment, the modulator elements in an array are manufactured by the same process so that each modulator element has a reflectance spectrum that includes multiple reflectivity lines.  Color filters corresponding to multiple colors, such as red, green, and blue, for example, may be selectively associated with these modulator elements in order to filter out a desired wavelength range for each modulator element and provide a multiple color array. Because the modulator elements are manufactured by the same process, each of the modulator elements is substantially the same and common voltage levels may be used to activate and deactivate selected modulation.

Title: Coiled optical fiber assembly for measuring pressure and/or other physical data
Inventor: VAN DER SPEK ALEXANDER MICHAEL
IPC: G01L11/02
Filed: 2004-03-04
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for measuring pressure and/or other physical data, such as the temperature, elongation, torsion and/or bending at any point along the length of an elongate carrier tube by means of one or more coiled optical fibers that are embedded in the wall the tube such that deformation of the carrier tube induces strain in each optical fiber. In use a pulsed laser light source transmits a sequence of light pulses of a selected wavelength from an upstream end of each fiber into a coiled substantially uniform light guide channel provided by said optical fiber and a light sensor assembly detects any shift in wavelength of the light pulses backscattered from various locations along the length of said light guide channel. A signal processing assembly then calculates a strain pattern along the length of the fiber, and a pressure difference between the interior and exterior of the tube, at various locations along the length of the carrier tube. Preferably several fibers are wound at different pitch angles and in different directions and at different diameters in the wall of the carrier tube and the signal processing assembly calculates bending, torsion and both radial and axial deformation of the carrier tube on the basis of a comparison of the strain patterns induced on different optical fibers.
