Patent CA-2391612-C (CA)
Inventor: CHARNE DAVID G
IPC: A01H1/04
Filed: 2000-01-19
Granted: 2015-08-04
Abstract: An improved route is provided for producing seeds capable of forming a Brassica napus F1 hybrid via plant breeding wherein the vegetable oil of the seeds exhibits a highly elevated oleic acid (C18:1) content of at least 80 percent by weight (e.g. 80 to 86 percent by weight) and a reduced linolenic acid (C18:3) content of no more than 3 percent by weight (e.g. 1 to 3 percent by weight) based upon the total fatty acid content. The female parent plant (i.e., the seed parent) possesses a homozygous modified FAD-2 gene pair for elevated oleic acid production solely in either the A-genome or the C-genome, and the male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) possesses a homozygous modified FAD-2 gene pair for highly elevated oleic acid production in both the A-genome and the C-genome. Both parent plants also include at least one homozygous modified FAD-3 gene pair for reduced linolenic acid production. The seed yield depression commonly observed in the past in Brassica napus plants exhibiting a comparable highly elevated oleic acid concentration effectively is ameliorated in an efficient manner. The grower of the resulting seeds can produce a Brassica napus crop in improved yields wherein the endogenously formed oil of the seed harvest contains on average the desired elevated oleic acid content and reduced linolenic acid content. An endogenously formed Brassica napus oil is provided that is particularly well suited for use in frying applications. Such oil exhibits further stability in view of the low concentration of linolenic acid that concomitantly is produced within the seeds.

Granted: 2012-07-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de liaison à basse température ou température ambiante comportant le nettoyage surfacique et l'activation par nettoyage ou gravure. Ledit procédé peut également consister à éliminer des sous-produits de polymérisation d'interface afin d'empêcher une réaction de polymérisation inverse, de manière à réaliser une liaison chimique à température ambiante de matériaux tels que le silicium, le nitrure de silicium et SiO¿2?. Les surfaces devant être liées sont polies à un degré élevé de lissage et de planéité (2). Le processus de gravure très légère peut faire intervenir la gravure ionique réactive ou la gravure humide afin de graver légèrement les surfaces liées (3). La dureté et la planéité surfaciques ne sont pas dégradées, et peuvent être améliorées au moyen du processus de gravure très légère. Les surfaces gravées peuvent être rincées dans des solutions telles que l'hydroxyde d'ammonium ou le fluorure d'ammonium afin de favoriser la formation des espèces de liaison souhaitées sur les surfaces (4).

Patent CA-2408232-C (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for enabling random access to individual pictures in an encrypted video stream
Inventor: SO NICOL CHUNG PANG
IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 2000-05-02
Granted: 2008-01-15
Abstract: A system for providing conditional access to packetized picture (video), audio or other data. The system selectively encrypts packetized data (105) such that transport packets (130, 150) that include header data (131, 151) are unencrypted, while all other transport packets (140, 141) that do not include header data are encrypted. This allows the transport packets with the header data (130, 150) to be randomly accessed from a memory (230, 310), which is particularly advantageous for performing "trick modes", such as fast forward and fast reverse, e.g., in a video-on-demand service. After the transport packets are selectively encrypted and stored, transport scrambling and control bits (132, 142, 152) for each packet (130, 140, 150) can be accessed to determine whether the packet is encrypted, and consequently, whether the packet includes header data. If a packet includes header data, it is suitable for use in a trick mode since it provides data from the start of a video, audio or other data packet.

Abstract: A keyboard assembly for a mobile device is provided that reduces the separation between keys by reducing the number of required dome switches. A reduction in the number of dome switches can alternatively reduce the amount of real estate taken up by dome switches on a printed circuit board (PCB). Fewer dome switches than keys are provided on a PCB to activate a desired functionality when a key is depressed. The dome switches are each actuatable by and disposed between more than one key, such keys preferably being adjacent keys. Each key has an actuator with at least one arm for actuating a dome switch in an actuated dome switch pattern when the key is depressed. Such a keyboard assembly can be used for any electronic device having a standard QWERTY or Dvorak keyboard layout, a standard telephone or numeric keypad layout, or any other layout of keys.

Title: Programmable function control for combine
Inventor: HENNINGS KENNY L
IPC: A01B63/108
Filed: 2003-06-26
Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: A function management system includes a programmable control unit that can automatically coordinate combine traction functions and/or implement functions. In a learn mode, the operator performs a sequence of manual manipulations of the operator controlled traction and implement devices, and the control unit records and then stores information pertaining to the sequence of device operations. In an execute mode, the control unit automatically performs the sequence of device operations so that the sequence of operations occurs at the same intervals at which they were learned. As one example of a sequence, when the combine approaches the end of a field, at the touch of one button, the header is raised, the unloading auger is pivoted to an inboard position for safe turning, the ground speed is increased for rapid travel, the four wheel drive used during harvesting in the field is disengaged, the crop-processing implement speed, such as a rotor speed for a rotary crop-processing unit, is decreased, and steering of the combine is controlled to position the combine to the point of reentering the field. The sequence of device operations can be pre-programmed or input by the operator in the learn mode.

Abstract: A monolithic multilayer ultra thin chip inductor (10) is manufactured with two terminals (12) and (14) on the same end of the component (10) to reduce the mechanical stresses caused by a coefficient of expansion mismatch. A third no-connect terminal (16) located on the opposite end may be used to mount the component (10) when a more rigid connection is required. The inductor is constructed using a bottom and top coil layer (18) and (40), each having a coil and forming a termination point corresponding to the inductor terminals.      The opposite ends of the coils form connection ends (24) and (68) and are electrically connected to form a continuous coil from one terminal (12) to the other (14). Optionally, a number of intermediate coil layers (28) can be included between the bottom and top coil layers (18) and (40). The coil layers are selected from a set of coil layers. As a result, the total number of coil turns can be obtained by selecting the appropriate coil layers.
