Patent CA-2384193-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUILLEMETTE ROBERT
IPC: H01B17/32
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: A high-voltage composite insulator and method are described herein. The insulator includes first and second end fittings longitudinally separated by a spacer, a resin impregnated fiber core wound onto the end fittings and onto the spacer and an outer sheath mould onto the fiber core. The construction of the insulator offers many advantages. First, the wound core presents improved mechanical characteristics. Since the resin matrix of the core and the material used to form the outer sheath are compatible, a chemical link exists between these two elements. Finally, the end fittings are provided with a relatively thin wall defining a mechanical fuse. A method for making such an insulator where both the core and the outer sheath are co-cured is also described herein.

Title: Certified shuffle-decrypting system, certified shuffle-decrypting method and certified shuffle-decryption verifying method
Inventor: FURUKAWA JUN
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2002-05-07
Abstract: The present invention provides a certified shuffle--decrypting system, which does not require shuffled encrypted texts to be output, and in which the amounts of calculation and certificates are minimized to allow efficient processing, and the certified shuffle-decrypting system generates shuffle-decryption certificates certifying that multiple encrypted texts have been shuffle-decrypted correctly, and verifies, based on the shuffle-decryption certificates, whether or not the shuffle-decryption has taken place correctly. This system comprises: a certified shuffle--decryption device for shuffle-decrypting the multiple encrypted texts to generate the shuffle-decrypted texts, and for generating the shuffle-decryption certificates; and a shuffle-decryption verification device for verifying whether or not the shuffle-decryption has taken place correctly, by referring to the generated shuffle-decrypted texts and the shuffle-decryption certificates for the shuffle-decrypted texts. The certified shuffle-decryption device: decrypts, with the secret keys, the shuffled encrypted texts obtained by shuffling the order of the encrypted texts and encrypting them with public keys, thereby generating the shuffle decrypted texts; generates responses as a reference for the certifications; generates certificates certifying, based on the responses, the validities of the shuffling of order, the encryption and the decryption for obtaining the shuffle decrypted texts; and outputs the generated certificates and the responses as shuffle-decryption certificates.

Title: Monitoring system and method
Inventor: CERVINKA ALEXANDRE
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: Mobile station protocol that allows mobile stations to send data to cellular networks even if a jammer is blocking all land station to mobile station communication The end result is a best-effort uplink communication service. The mobile station sods a plurality of times the same data-holding frame over all possible access channels to the network.   Central server using artificial intelligence and stochastic models to track a remote mobile client equipped with inertial sensors and whose movement is constrained by a set of possible routes on a digital map. A mobile terminal starts by sending to the remote server its initial position and orientation, and then continuously sends to the remote server data kinetic parameters obtained from inertial sensors. Temperature and other parameters needed to tune pre-defined stochastic models can also be sent to the server on an as-needed basis. The server software compensates for all non-ideal and induced errors to the received data, extracts various information from the corrected signals, applies the digital map constraints, and provides the tracking user with the possible routes.

IPC: B01F23/00
Filed: 2002-08-23
Abstract: A fill probe with an in-line mixer accelerates and facilitates automation of a fill and mix procedure required in formulating certain chemical products. In some formulas, the concentrated chemical components that combine to form the resulting formula (e.g., teat dip) have a wide range of viscosities. The in-line positioning of the mixing attachment with the fill probe on the outside of the fill probe creates a dual action mixing operation that mixes the components as they are deliver to a mixing container and continues to mix them after they are combined with other chemicals within the mixing container. By using a combination fill probe and in-line mixer of the claimed design, a user can automate the fill and mix process, decrease the required mix time, and reduce foaming and spillage of chemicals.
