Patent CA-2597953-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALECKI ZBIGNIEW
IPC: H01Q13/10
Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: A system for removing one or more streams of distorted high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Each stream is directed substantially in a first direction from. the Earth's surface and creates a distorted electromagnetic field. The system has an antenna for receiving the electromagnetic radiation and a capacitor electrically connected to the antenna. The capacitor converts the electromagnetic radiation into a form of potential energy with a frequency equivalent to zero and stores the potential energy. Each stream is substantially removed upon the conversion of the electromagnetic radiation into the potential energy.

Abstract: A three-piece roof assembly is provided for racing cars in which the two side members are fixedly supported on the frame of the vehicle and the center member is positionable at a selectable canted angle relative to the side members. The center member is formed with laterally extended flanges that overlap the side members to maintain structural integrity between the center member and the respective side members. The canting of the center member creates a gap that varies in width from front to rear. The process for canting a race car roof is significantly simplified and involves fixing the side members to the frame of the vehicle, then positioning the center member at the desired angular orientation, and fixing the center member relative to the side members. The variable width gap between the center member and the side members can be filled with weld material and painted.

Abstract: A communication system issues tokens in order to control communication received by the system. The tokens are arbitrary symbols which are stored in one or more Token Logs (TLs)(108) for future reference. Those to whom the tokens are issued use specific tokens by including them in messages sent to the token issuer. The communication systems belonging to the potential token users record tokens which they have been issued, so that those tokens may be included in subsequent communication to the token issuers. Incoming messages without tokens are given a tokenless status and possibly rejected. Token-request tokens are automatically issued to allow other individuals to request tokens which can be used in subsequent communication. Multiple Token logs 9108) are synchronized across multiple devices. Functional and informational message address headers are employed when sending messages so that tokens issued to a given user are not divulged to other message recipients (132) who are different from the given user and different from the token issuer.
