Patent CA-2087822-A1 (CA)
Title: Measurement of attenuation of optical fibers
Inventor: LAMONDE JOSEPH E G
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 1993-01-21
Abstract: Attenuation of an optical fiber is measured by transmitting an optical signal having a predetermined wavelength to the fiber, and  FSK  modulating  the  optical  signal  with  information identifying the wavelength and transmitted power of the optical signal.  At a receiver, the optical signal is detected and the information is recovered by demodulation.  Wavelength-dependent sensitivity information for the detector is read from a store in dependence upon the wavelength information and used to control the  gain  of  an  amplifier  for  amplifying  a  subsequently transmitted continuous wave optical signal used for attenuation measurement.  The received power level of this optical signal is converted into a digital value and used with the transmitted power information to determine the fiber attenuation at the predetermined wavelength.

Title: Method and apparatus for displaying floral arrangements
Inventor: BOODLEY JAMES W
IPC: A01G5/04
Filed: 1993-05-21
Abstract: A floral support assembly for presenting a display of fresh cut flowers.      Floral foam is bonded to a backing to define a pre-shaped configuration. Moisture barrier means, preferably in the form of ambient air spaces, separate the floral foam into adjacent segments of predetermined dimensions, in at least the vertical direction. The barrier spaces have a predetermined width sufficient to prevent floral preservative solution from bridging between adjacent segments when the floral foam support assembly is inclined with respect to a horizontal frame of reference. The preferred method by which to saturate the aforesaid assembly with a floral preservative solution requires a container. At least a sufficient volume of the preservative solution is placed in the container to saturate the foam segments on whatever number of support assemblies are to be simultaneously processed. The support assemblies are then floated in the solution with the foam segments facing the solution. Each assembly is removed from the solution after it has been permitted to sink into the solution to a predetermined depth. The assembly is then inverted and placed on a horizontal surface for a predetermined period of time with the backing resting on that horizontal surface. The stems of flowers may then be inserted into the foam segments to fashion a display.

Title: Rotational endoscopic mechanism with jointed drive mechanism
Inventor: HASSLER WILLIAM L
IPC: G02B23/24
Filed: 1993-10-07
Abstract: ABSTRACT      Described herein is an endoscopic instrument such as a dissector, scissor or grasper in which there is provided a shaft which defines a longitudinal axis of the instrument. This shaft is able to rotate about the handle portion of the instrument. This mechanism also provides for articulation of the end effectors with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.   This articulation is accomplished by causing angulation of the end effector with respect to the shaft.  Because driving the cable is accomplished around any such angle,  the end effectors continue to be able to operate.  There is disclosed herein a locking mechanism which allows the rotational aspect of the device to operate to rotate the entire articulating mechanism.

Inventor: HERPEL CARSTEN
IPC: H04N19/80
Filed: 1992-04-04
Abstract: With the coding of picture signals, motion vectors are often determined for blocks of picture elements. A method is described in EP 0 414 113 which explains how a zoom aid pan vector can be generated for always a complete picture from an array of motion vectors for blocks of picture elements.      With a format conversion of picture signals which are sub-sampled at least vertically prior to the coding, motion parameters valied for always a complete picture are used in order to gain a maximum local resolution after the sub-sampling. Only the remaining, incompletely motion-compensated parts of the picture are detected by a simple alteration detector and vertically filtered in the field.

Title: Scanner module for symbol scanning system
Inventor: BARD SIMON
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1993-12-20
Abstract: An optical scanner module for directing a light beam to scan an optically encoded symbol includes an optical element mounted for oscillatory motion to scan the light beam in one direction by a flex element capable of torsional flexure. This oscillatory motion is induced by the interacting magnetic fields established by a permanent magnet mounted to the flex element and an electromagnetic coil driven by an AC currant. Bidirectional light beam scanning is achieved by mounting an assembly of the flex element, optical element and permanent magnet to one or more additional flex elements for oscillatory motion to scan the light beam in a second direction. This oscillatory motion is induced by the inclusion of an additional permanent magnet and/or electromagnetic coil.
