Inventor: RING MICHAEL E
IPC: B61H13/04
Filed: 2001-05-07
Abstract: A fabricated gear is provided which is formed from a plurality of plates disposed in series one on top of another. Each of the plates include a plurality of teeth along an outer circumference thereof. An aperture extending through a center portion of each of the plates is provided. This aperture forms an inner circumference within each of the plates and is capable of receiving a shaft member therethrough. The plates are secured together to form the fabricated gear. This fabricated gear may be keyed onto a shaft member. Alternatively, an anti-backlash mechanism may be provided in the fabricated gear to achieve one direction rotation of a shaft member in a manner similar to a pawl and ratchet mechanism.      This anti-backlash mechanism is formed by providing at least one indentation within an inner circumference of at least some of the plates which cooperates with a cylindrical member positioned within an opening formed by this indentation. This cylindrical member is capable of interacting with the at least one opening to cause the plates to lock up onto the shaft member upon the application of a force in a first direction and to freely rotate with respect to the shaft member upon the application of a force in a second direction.

Title: Cdma transmit peak power reduction
Inventor: MCGOWAN NEIL
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: A peak power regulator is disclosed that functions within a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) transmitter to reduce peak power spikes within baseband signals while maintaining the average output power consistent with the average input power, controlling the out-of-band emissions, and maintaining the in-band signal quality within an acceptable degradation. In-phase and quadrature baseband signals are input to a delay block and an envelope magnitude predictor within the peak power regulator. The envelope magnitude predictor outputs an estimate for the magnitude of the envelope that will be generated when the inputted baseband signals are modulated. This estimate is input to a multiplier that generates a ratio by dividing the estimate by a maximum acceptable envelope magnitude. The ratio is subsequently input to a mapping table that outputs a scaling factor sufficient for reducing peak power spikes. The scaling factor is subsequently input to an optional mean power regulator that generates an instantaneous gain value sufficient to maintain the average output power level at the average input power level. This gain value is applied to two multipliers that are also input with delayed versions of the in-phase and quadrature baseband input signals. The outputs from these two multipliers, after being filtered within lowpass filters to remove out-of-band emissions caused by the scaling, are output from the peak power regulator. These peak power reduced outputs have any peak power spikes scale reduced while maintaining the average power constant.

Abstract: Sunflower plants, seeds capable of forming the same, and a novel endogenous vegetable oil derived from such sunflower seeds are provided. The plants have the ability to yield an endogenous vegetable oil wherein the levels of palmitic acid and oleic acid are provided in an atypical combination via genetic control. The concentration of palmitic acid in the endogenous oil constitutes at least 20 (e.g., approximately 20 to 45) percent by weight of the total fatty acid content, and the concentration of oleic acid in the oil constitutes at least 45 (e.g., approximately 45 to 65) percent by weight of the total fatty acid content in the absence of hydrogenation or other chemical or physical modification. It was found that the plants of the present invention can be formed through the combination (as described) of genetic determinants that were found to be present in the Pervenets sunflower and the H-55-9-2-1 or H-55-9-2-2 sunflower. The novel endogenous oil of the present invention is particularly useful, inter alia, in the production of margarine, or a cocoa butter equivalent.

Title: Animation de caracteres tridimensionnels le long d'une trajectoire
Inventor: PAUL BRIAN E
IPC: G06T13/20
Filed: 2000-04-13
Abstract: Dans un générateur de caractères, un caractère représenté sous la forme d'un ensemble de polygones peut être manipulé à l'aide de techniques d'animation tridimensionnelle. On peut par ailleurs utiliser un code correspondant à un caractère pour accéder à un ensemble de courbes qui définissent les contours de ce caractère, cet ensemble de courbes étant ensuite transformé en un ensemble de polygones qui peut être rendu sous la forme d'un objet tridimensionnel. On peut créer l'ensemble de polygones en convertissant les courbes en plusieurs ensembles de segments de ligne assemblés, puis en procédant à une tessellation du polygone défini par ces segments de ligne. Les propriétés d'animation sont représentées avec une échelle normalisée le long d'une trajectoire ou dans le temps, l'animation pouvant fonctionner indépendamment de la résolution spatiale et temporelle du support vidéo auquel elle est appliquée. Cette animation peut être appliquée à des caractères définis par un ensemble de polygones, différentes transformations tridimensionnelles spatiales, divers effets de lumière et autres colorisations pouvant par ailleurs être effectués. De plus, une interface utilisateur, destinée à éditer une chaîne de caractères, peut fournir deux affichages distincts, le premier permettant à un utilisateur de saisir et de visualiser n'importe quelle partie de la chaîne de caractères à des fins d'édition, et le second permettant à cet utilisateur de voir comment cette chaîne de caractères apparaît à un point déterminé dans le temps, pendant un effet de titrage produit à des fins d'animation. Le texte se présente sur ces deux affichages sous une forme tridimensionnelle. Enfin, ladite interface peut être associée soit à une interface d'édition linéaire conçue pour éditer un programme vidéo associé, soit à toute autre interface utilisateur pouvant permettre une superposition des effets de titrage ainsi qu'un ajustement des propriétés d'animation, de placement, et de synchronisation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés de présentation et de paiement de factures électroniques (EBPP) utilisant un modèle commun de document/données afin de répondre aux intérêts et aux préférences des fournisseurs, des clients, des institutions financières, d'autres organisations EBPP et autres, dans le contexte spécifique de la présentation et du paiement de factures électroniques et, plus généralement, du commerce électronique. Le modèle commun de document/données permet au fournisseur d'impartir les activités de facturation à l'organisation EBPP, tout en gardant le contrôle sur les informations de facturation, ou comment et où les factures sont présentées. Les fournisseurs sont incités à utiliser ce système car cela leur permet d'éviter les dépenses et les efforts nécessaires pour la création d'un système interne adapté, et de profiter des mêmes avantages d'un système interne tout en optimisant l'expertise d'une organisation EBPP externe traitant avec plusieurs industries et clients, dans différents lieux géographiques et domaines financiers. Ces systèmes offrent également aux fournisseurs des possibilités accrues pour établir des relations avec les marques et les clients, que les systèmes de facturation sur papier ne permettent pas. Les clients sont encouragés à utiliser le système car il leur permet de payer toutes leurs factures, ou du moins la plupart, en un seul endroit de leur choix, les factures étant présentées comme ils le souhaitent, mais aussi de communiquer plus efficacement avec les fournisseurs en cas de problèmes, plutôt que de perdre énormément de temps au téléphone en essayant de trouver une solution avec des personnes non renseignées, comme c'est souvent le cas avec des systèmes de facturation sur papier où les données importantes ne semblent jamais parvenir au personnel du service clientèle du fournisseur. Il en résulte une présence constante du système EBPP qui simplifie la vie de tout le monde en réduisant l'émission de factures et les charges dues aux paiements.
