Patent CA-2824680-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAUFMANN PIERRE
IPC: G01S13/87
Filed: 2012-04-17
Abstract: The proposed solution includes the use of four reference bases (A,B,C,D) on the ground at known positions, with a coded time signal transmitted by one of them which is retransmitted by the repeater station and received by each of the reference bases. Using two distinct sets of three reference bases it is possible to calculate the differences between two positions for the repeater station (R), assigning to the later changes in time, phase or frequency as well as temporal changes due to the signal propagation in the medium, for the respective elevation angles found for the repeater. It can be then identified which values attributed to the temporal changes produces a minimum difference between the two respective positions of the repeater station (R). The identified temporal change can be used for the correct determination of the repeater station and its use on pertinent applications.

Abstract: A nebulizer includes a body (51), an air channel section and medication reservoir (58). An air line (66) extends through the air channel section. A venturi nozzle (52) is configured to form at its end a low pressure mixing chamber (68). A primary suction line (70) extends from the medication reservoir to the low pressure mixing chamber through which medication is drawn upward into the low pressure mixing chamber and mixed with air from the venturi nozzle and nebulized for discharge through a nebulizer outlet. The venturi nozzle, low pressure mixing chamber and air channel section are configured such that at standard temperature and pressure (STP) a differential pressure results in no medication that is drawn upward through the primary suction line for nebulization and discharged the through the nebulizer outlet until a negative inspiratory pressure is created from inhalation by a user.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for intra-prediction mode signaling for video coding. In one example, a video coder is configured to determine, for a block of video data, a set of most probable intra-prediction modes such that the set of most probable intraprediction modes has a size that is equal to a predetermined number that is greater than or equal to two. The video coder is also configured to code a value representative of an actual intra-prediction mode for the block based at least in part on the set of most probable intraprediction modes and code the block using the actual intra-prediction mode. The video coder may further be configured to code the block using the actual intra-prediction mode, e.g., to encode or decode the block. Video encoders and video decoders may implement these techniques.

Abstract: The current invention is based upon administration of a probiotic, B. Lactis NCC2818 to healthy young mammals during the critical weaning period (in infants this period is usually from about 3 months to about 12, 18 or 24 months old), so as to accelerate the young mammal's adaptation to new food. The effectiveness of the invention is evidenced herein by morphological and immunological changes observed in a piglet animal model of weaning. Thus, administration of the probiotic according to the invention had a prophylactic effect, preventing the severe discomfort and pathological states associated with the introduction to novel foods during the weaning period.

Title: Insulated wall module
Inventor: PRLIC TOMISLAV
IPC: E04B1/08
Filed: 2012-07-31
Abstract: The construction of a wall module of superior insulation properties required for passive buildings, the method of its industrial production for easy to install at erection site as technical design of the load bearing steel truss of the defined height, width and thickness, made of appropriate shaped steel elements, of appropriate dimensions, positioned appropriately to form the structure and fixed in compliance with all relevant requirements of the professional building practice and regulations. Steel elements are mostly C elements, horizontal (1.1) and vertical (1.2) C elements with fastening mechanisms fastened on the outside horizontally (2.1) and vertically (2.2) with internal (1.3) and external (1.4) spacers positioned on their sides of low thermal conductivity, on which internal (6.2) and external (6.3) lining panels are placed of the appropriate thickness defining in such manner the total thickness of the wall. The complete wall is factory-built so that the developed steel structure with all needed installation channels built in and with placed lining panels is placed in the appropriate press to inject expanded polyurethane in the space between the lining and the outside line of the steel structure that forms the wall, at approximately 3-bar pressure, which then expands and squeezes out the air from within the structure thereby creating a compact fill mass eliminating any risk of damp and condensation in the wall, at the same time improving for at least 30 % the statics of the steel structure. In this way a full compact wall of precise dimensions is built in a factory to the full completion with all ceramic tiles and parquet flooring, with all needed installation channels built in, with all openings including window and door openings of excellent insulation properties with the heat penetration coefficient U of approximately 0.14 W/(m2K°) which is less than 0.15 W/(m2K°) as the limit value for the compliance with passive house characteristics. Walls produced in entirety or in segments according to the described invention are transported to the site and installed, all the walls or their segments are joined, with fastening mechanisms vertically and horizontally, to make complete building structures. Because this invention allows the precise building of walls, in entirety or in segments, their installation after the transport on site is easy, based on precisely defined figures and methods, with the minimum labor and in a short time period, with only a few tools and equipment needed for the job. If all such modules, i.e., all wall elements are factory-made, with all windows, doors, utility channels and/or other additional elements installed in the production facility, one can make in advance the entire structure before it is brought to the building site, which results in a very flexible building concept with additionally reduced building costs.
