Patent CA-2529344-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PHILLIPS ROGER W
IPC: G07D7/12
Filed: 2004-09-16
Abstract: An optical structure (40) includes a light transmissive substrate (22) having a surface relief pattern (24) applied thereon, such as a hologram. A patterned layer (26) of a reflective material is applied over portions of the surface relief pattern so as to form alphanumeric characters, bars codes, or pictorial or graphical designs. An optically active coating (42) is applied over the patterned layer of reflective material and uncovered exposed portions of the surface relief pattern in order to provide desirable optical effects to the exposed portions of the surface relief pattern. In some embodiments, the optically active coating is a color shifting thin film (58), or contains color shifting flakes (64). Optionally, the material (72) of the optically active coating is index matched (24a) to the light transmissive substrate in order to optically erase the effect of the surface relief pattern in the portions of the surface relief pattern not covered by the reflective material.

Inventor: REGAN CHRISTOPHER A
IPC: E04D13/064
Filed: 2006-02-24
Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses an overflow diverter for existing gutters as well as new gutters. For existing gutters 16 the present invention 10 provides a clip-on diverter 10 that attaches to the leading edge 24 of the gutter. The diverter has a downwardly U-shaped form with the front leg 28 terminating in a dog leg lip 30 extending away from the gutter face. The rear leg 32 of the U-shaped form extends under the top lip 24 of the gutter 16 frictionally engaging the top front lip of the gutter. Any water passing over the top lip 24 of the gutter 16 runs down the diverter 10 and across the dog leg 30 before running off without engaging the face 26 of the gutter. When the gutter 34 is formed for a new installation the front is extended into the diverter flange 22 position and lapped back to form the top edge 24 of the gutter 34. The inclination of the diverter flange 22 would be of a similar angle as to the clip-on embodiment but would be comprised of a double layer of material. Also disclosed is an embodiment wherein the diverter flange 22 would comprise a single layer of material.

Title: Method for multimedia broadcast multicast service regisitration
Inventor: ZHANG HAI
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2005-01-07
Abstract: The present invention discloses a registering method for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), the method includes: once the BM-5C receives the MBMS registering request sent by that GGSN, the broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC) adds the GGSN indicator to MBMS bearer context, in response to a MBMS registering response message; after the GGSN receives the response message, the GGSN creates the MBMS bearer context in according to the bearer context message thereof. The method of the invention is that once the GGSN  receives the MBMS registering request sent by the BM-SC, it creates the whole MBMS bearer context, and carries out the function of creating MBMS bearer context during the registering. If the BMS bearer context of the upstream node which receiving MSMS registering request is "activity", after this node sends the registering response, waiting a moment and triggering the session process, therefore avoid error because of the upstream node initiates session process while the down stream hasn't created the bearer context .

Abstract: An avalanche probe for locating and rescuing people buried by an avalanche is collapsible, having several probe segments which allow the probe to be folded to a compact unit that can be quickly and easily assembled for use. A connecting cord passes through the probe segments and fastens to a probe tip. Applying tension to the cord draws the segments into alignment. A clamping mechanism maintains the tension on the cord in such a manner that the probe segments are fixedly and securely held against one another. The clamping mechanism provides two interpenetrating elements, an outer element and an inner element having a passage therethrough. At least one clamping element passes into the central passage and is forcibly engaged with the cord as the interpenetration of the elements increases.

Title: Method and materials for bonding electrodes to interconnect layers in solid oxide fuel cell stacks
Inventor: LEAR GREGORY ROBERT
IPC: H01M2/26
Filed: 2006-11-09
Abstract: A method and related bonding compositions for use in assembling a solid oxide fuel cell ("SOFC") stack having thermally and chemically stable and electrically conductive bonds between alternating fuel cells and interconnect components in the stack. The improved method and materials allow for the assembly of solid oxide fuel cells having a stronger and more reliable bond with good electrical contact in situ between the SOFC interconnect layers (plates) and the electrodes. The bonding materials and method according to the invention provide good electrical performance while maintaining the mechanical and electrical integrity of SOFC stacks without requiring excessive mechanical compression of the stack as exemplified by prior art systems. The preferred bonding agents comprise a primary phase that provides the electrical conduction path during fuel cell operation, as well as the mechanical strength necessary to insure a reliable connection between the interconnect and the relevant anode or cathode surfaces of the fuel cell. Secondary phases can be added in small amounts to the primary phase to improve adhesion. An exemplary method according to the invention also contemplates various different steps for pre-treating the surfaces of the interconnect plates and electrodes to improve their surface bonding properties.

Abstract: A signal adaptive filtering method for reducing blocking effect and ringing noise, a signal adaptive filter, and a computer readable medium. The signal adaptive filtering method capable of reducing blocking effect and ringing noise of image data when a frame is composed of blocks of a predetermined size includes the steps of: (a) generating blocking information for reducing the blocking effect and ringing information for reducing the ringing noise, from coefficients of predetermined pixels of the upper and left boundary regions of the data block when a frame obtained by deconstructing a bitstream image data for inverse quantization is an intraframe; and (b) adaptively filtering the image data passed through inverse quantization and inverse discrete cosine transform according to the generated blocking information and ringing information. Therefore, the blocking effect and ringing noise can be eliminated from the image restored from the block-based image, thereby enhancing the image restored from compression.

Abstract: Actuellement pour jouer au golf, il est nécessaire d'utiliser un ensemble de 12 à 14 bâtons, que l'on porte dans un grand sac adapté à cet effet. Le but de ce jeu est de rapprocher la balle le plus possible du trou d'arrivée de chaque parcours au nombre de neuf ou dix-huit. On transporte ce sac sur l'épaule grâce à la sangle de transport ou sur un caddie sur roues, ou encore sur une voiturette électrique motorisée ; ces deux dernières options éviteront aux joueurs et joueuses d'avoir une relative déformation de la colonne vertébrale ou autre scoliose pour ceux qui pratiquent ce jeu de façon assidue. D'autre part, je suis conscient que pour accepter l'utilisation du nouveau bâton de golf unique il faudra que les Associations et Fédérations de golf acceptent de changer les règles quant aux conformités des bâtons de golf. Ce changement devrait être considéré comme une évolution ou même une révolution dans la pratique du jeu de golf. La présente invention a pour but de rassembler les capacités spécifiques à chaque bâton de golf en un seul et unique bâton permettant de remplacer tous les bâtons actuellement utilisés pour la pratique de ce jeu. Il est à noter que n'ayant plus à coltiner un gros sac de bâtons, l'élégance de ce jeu se trouvera enrichie par le transport d'unseul bâton, de quelques tees et des balles. Les voiturettes électrique pourront être de plus petites dimensions pour une ou deux personnes. Ainsi la beauté paysagée de la nature se trouvera améliorée avec des chemins moins larges et des engins de transport moins imposants. D'autres innovations viendront augmenter la pratique de ce jeu. A court terme, comme par exemple les relais radio pour les informations visibles en bout de manche du nouveau bâton de golf unique, mais aussi à plus long terme comme par exemple une puce électronique incorporée à la balle permettant encore plus d'informations comme la distance effectuée après la frappe de la balle, l'orientation du coup (devant, derrière, à gauche, à droite), la recherche de la balle dans les taillis et la végétation par système GPS ou équivalent. Ces idées ne sont pas restrictives et ouvrent la voie à beaucoup d'autres innovations.
