Patent CA-2377539-C (CA)
Title: High-speed data services using multiple transmit antennas
Inventor: FOSCHINI GERARD JOSEPH
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2000-06-16
Granted: 2008-12-02
Abstract: High-speed wireless data systems and methods are described for simultaneously supporting multiple data users, including flexible mixed-traffic services, using an illustrative CDMA architecture. Embodiments are compatible with current and third generation CDMA systems, while achieving spectral efficiencies that are in some cases an order of magnitude or more higher. Embodiments advantageously employ multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver and code spreading to realize multiple access systems. Some illustrative receiver embodiments advantageously employ a decorrelating detector, while other features a decorrelating decision-feedback detector. In typical operation, each of a plurality of high-speed data streams directed to respective data users is demultiplexed into multiple (G>1) lower rate substreams, which are modulated by a CDMA spreading code and transmitted from M antennas at a base station. A receiver employs P antennas and multi-user detection to demodulate the G data substreams of its associated user. Performance measures for a variety of illustrative transmission and receiver configurations are derived using novel techniques for calculating system level capacities and spectral efficiencies (measured in bits per second per Hertz per sector). System design and configuration tradeoffs are readily made based on such performance determinations.
Patent CA-2393771-C (CA)
Title: Non real-time delivery of mpeg-2 programs via an mpeg-2 transport stream
Inventor: ELSTERMANN ERIK JOHN
IPC: H04N7/52
Filed: 2000-12-06
Granted: 2012-04-17
Abstract: Digital content is extracted from single and multiple-program transport streams for subsequent non-real-time (background) transmission in a bandwidth-efficient manner. At an encoder (100), several null and/or nonessential (N/N) packets (e.g., packets of unused programs) in a transport stream are replaced by an annotation packet (AP) to obtain non-real-time packets (410). The non-real time packets are inserted into null packet locations (NU) of a real time transport stream. At a decoder (200), the annotation packets are used to regenerate a specified number of null packets to maintain the original separation of packets of the non-real time data (for timing purposes), allowing existing hardware and/or software to decode the selected program.  Optionally, the non-real-time packets provide pre-encrypted programs, and decryption information is distributed to the decoders at a formal program release time specified by the program provider.

Title: Improved angleboard edge protector
Inventor: PECK LAWRENCE R
IPC: B65D81/05
Filed: 2002-08-06
Granted: 2006-01-17
Abstract: An edge or corner protector comprises an apex portion and a pair of leg members extending away from the apex portion so as to define an angle of approximately 90° therebetween. The apex portion and leg members are defined by a plurality of paper plies which have at least two different width dimensions. Relatively narrow and relatively broad paper plies are alternatively arranged with respect to each other whereby the apex portion and proximal portions of the leg members are formed by both the broad and narrow paper plies whereas distal portions of the leg members are formed only by the broad paper plies. In this manner, increased thickness and strength is provided within the apex and proximal portions of the leg members as needed, the distal portions of the leg members nevertheless facilitate mounting, positioning, and orientation of the edge or corner protectors upon edge or corner regions of articles to be protected, and a substantial reduction in the overall raw material cost is achieved.
