Patent CA-2327792-C (CA)
Title: Water weight sensor array imbedded in a sheetmaking machine roll
Inventor: CHASE LEE
IPC: G01N27/22
Filed: 1999-04-06
Granted: 2009-06-30
Abstract: A sensor imbedded roller for detecting changes in properties of a material and a measurement apparatus including a fixed impedance element coupled in series with a variable impedance sensor imbedded roller which is coupled between an input signal and a reference potential (e.g. ground) is described. The sensor, which includes an electrode configuration, is embedded into a roller such that when it rotates it comes in contact with the material being measured and its impedance varies. The variable impedance of the sensor relates to changes in property of the material being sensed which can then be related to changes in other physical characteristics of the material such as weight, chemical composition, and temperature. Sensor imbedded rollers can be placed in a sheetmaking machine to measure the pre-formed and post-formed paper product.

Title: Steering ski for snow vehicles
Inventor: MORIYAMA TAKASHI
IPC: B62D55/07
Filed: 2000-12-22
Granted: 2006-02-14
Abstract: A steering ski for a snowmobile comprises a ski body and a reinforcing member. The steering ski has a flat portion for contacting the surface of the ground and an upturned leading portion. The reinforcing member is connected to the upturned leading portion at multiple connection points. The ski and the reinforcing member are coupled to transmit forces in a way that reduces the pressure in the upturned leading portion. The forces are applied to the ski when the snowmobile strikes obstructions in its path and when it lands after becoming airborne. A stopper is provided to transmit the forces.

Abstract: Système permettant de manipuler un coeur pendant une intervention de chirurgie cardiaque, qui associe le levage du coeur et l'immobilisation locale destinée à arrêter les mouvements d'une partie du coeur pour permettre la suture rapide, tout en permettant aux autres parties du coeur de continuer à fonctionner, ce qui rend possible la chirurgie coronaire sur un coeur qui bat, tout en maintenant le débit cardiaque inchangé et ininterrompu. La chirurgie de l'artère auriculo-ventriculaire peut être effectuée à l'aide du système de manipulation du coeur pendant une intervention de chirurgie cardiaque selon la présente invention. Ledit système est une amélioration de l'écarteur décrit dans la demande apparentée numéro de série 08/936,184 déposée le 17/09/97 et place une tête de suspension à proximité de la pointe du coeur et un support brut près de la base du coeur, à proximité du sillon auriculo-ventriculaire. Un châssis est placé à l'intérieur de la région thoracique du patient et se déplace avec le patient, et un immobilisateur de cible chirurgicale peut être utilisé pour aider le mouvement du coeur, si nécessaire. Une ventouse d'aspiration spéciale est utilisée. Cette ventouse s'adapte aux mouvements à plans multiples du coeur et du myocarde, tout en empêchant le tissu cardiaque d'interrompre l'aspiration appliquée sur le coeur. Une forme de ce système peut être utilisée dans la chirurgie faiblement effractive.

Title: Hyper-concatenation across independent pointer processors
Inventor: GAGNON RONALD J
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 2001-05-11
Granted: 2009-07-21
Abstract: A concatenated optical signal carrying an arbitrary mix of concatenated data traffic is split and transported across a network space between a start node and an end node through a hyper-concatenated connection set up through independent pointer processor state machines. At a start node, the concatenated optical signal is split into two or more hyper-concatenated data streams. If a split occurs at a frame within a concatenated signal, the start node replaces a concatenation indicator of the frame with a payload pointer from a first frame of the concatenated signal and inserts a split indicator in the SS bits of the frame overhead. The hyper-concatenated data streams are transported across the network space using respective ones of a plurality of independent channels. At an end node, the hyper-concatenated data streams are recombined to recover the original concatenated signal. Frames containing split indicators are modified to remove the split indicator and to replace the payload pointer with a concatenation indicator. The advantage is an ability to set up hyper- concatenated connections through a network space containing independent pointer processors, such as legacy cross-connects or ADMs.

Title: Method of and apparatus for determining wood grain orientation
Inventor: ZHOU JIANQIN
IPC: G01B11/30
Filed: 2001-09-19
Granted: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A laser scanning system for determining wood grain orientation has been developed. The system employs a polarizer for separating the emergent laser light from the reflected laser light to decrease the laser image noise, a variable voltage source for intensifying the emergent laser light to increase the laser image signal, and an algorithm of phase demodulation for signal transformation, phase demodulation, and contrast feedback to further improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the laser images. The system is capable of extracting wood grain orientation quickly and precisely from the laser images with low signal-to-noise ratio, such as the images on the surfaces of hardwood species and roughsawn materials.

Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: An all-fiber optical depolarizer is provided in which polarized light is controllably injected into a polarization beam splitter at a 45° angle. The beam splitter is combined with a loop made of standard non-birefringent fiber through which one of the polarizations split by the beam splitter circulates. The loop has a length greater than the coherence length of the light source. The interaction of the beam splitter and the loop produces incoherent depolarized light at the output transmission port of the beam splitter.

Abstract: When a network pages the temporary user mobile identifier of a mobile station, the mobile station sends a response to the network. Next, the network checks the authenticity of the user using a ciphering key, corresponding to the temporary user mobile identifier and a random number. If the temporary user mobile identifier is authenticated, a normal incoming call acceptance procedure is executed. If the mobile station is authenticated although the temporary user mobile identifier is wrong, the network reassigns a new temporary user mobile identifier to the mobile station and stops the current communication. In communication, the network and the mobile station mutually notify encipherment-onset time and negotiate about encipherment manner with each other. In addition, diversity handover is commenced upon a call attempt. Furthermore, if a branch replacement is necessary, the current branch is replaced by new branches capable of executing the diversity handover. Additionally, when a new call occurs to or from the mobile station capable of treating a plurality of calls simultaneously, the mobile station uses the same branch structure and the same communication frequency band for all of calls. Additionally, when a new call occurs to or from the mobile station capable of treating a plurality of calls simultaneously, a branch structure and a communication frequency band, which can continue all of the calls, are selected and used. Therefore, the mobile communications system is suitable for transmission of various sorts of data in accordance with the development of multimedia.

Abstract: A collapsible boat (100) has a frame (102) covered by a hull skin (142), the frame (102) having two gunwales (104) and a keel stringer (114) terminating at two stem elements (116, 118). The ends (106, 108) of the gunwales (104) can be secured to the corresponding stem element (116, 118) by end connectors (132, 140) that connect to the stem element (116, 118) and are held by skin tension. Alternatively, the hull skin (204) can secure the gunwale ends (206) to the corresponding stem element (212), the gunwales (208) residing in closed-ended gunwale sleeves (214) and the hull skin (204) being configured to secure the gunwale ends (206) together and prevent upwards motion of the stem element (212). The closed ends (216") can be openable to install the gunwales (208). To tension the hull skin (142) over the frame (102), the keel stringer (114) can have a central joint (150) to allow installation in a bent configuration. The keel stringer (114) is straightened during assembly to increase its effective length, causing the stem elements (116, 118) to forcibly engage the hull skin (142).
