Patent CA-2355447-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHANG KOK-WAI
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2001-08-20
Abstract: Wavelength interleaving cross-connects pass a first optical signal including a first set of optical frequencies in a first direction and a second optical signal including a second set of optical frequencies in a second direction. In one embodiment, the first optical signal, when input to a first input/output (I/O) port, is routed from the first I/O port to a third I/O port. The first optical signal, when input to a fourth I/O port, is routed from the fourth port to a second I/O port. The second optical signal, when input to the second I/O port, is routed from the second I/O port to the third I/O port. The second optical signal, when input to the fourth I/O  port, is routed from the fourth I/O port to the first I/O port. Thus, by coupling an optical device (e.g., amplifier, filter) between the third port and the fourth port, the optical device can be used for bi-directional communications thereby reducing the number of devices required for a bi-directional optical network architecture.

Title: Three piece spool
Inventor: GRAY ALFRED L
IPC: B65H75/14
Filed: 2001-08-20
Abstract: A wire spool comprising three structural components including two end flanges and a rigid fiberboard barrel. The end flanges may be molded plastic or stamped sheet metal. The end flanges have central plug portions that are mechanically locked into the barrel. The central plug portions include teeth which dig into the barrel to substantially permanently secure the end flanges to the barrel such that the wire spool has sufficient strength to allow electricians to pick up a fully loaded wire spool by the end flange and such that the end flanges cannot typically be removed by hand except with the assistance of leverage tools. The plug portion also may include elongate axially extending lugs that engage the barrel and enhance torque transfer between the barrel and the end flanges.

Title: Method of generating hoistway information to serve an elevator control
Inventor: SILBERHORN GERT
IPC: B66B1/34
Filed: 2002-02-06
Abstract: In this system for generating hoistway information, images of the surface of a guiderail (1) are recorded by means of a CCD line camera (3), and from the surface patterns which can be read from the images, the absolute position of the elevator car is determined. The image data are input into a first correlator (I) which uses an incremental position of a new image and an absolute position (i) of a preceding image to generate an estimated position which is input into a second correlator (II). The estimated position is used to locate the relevant database sector in which the image which was stored in the database during calibration is situated. The second correlator (II) compares the new image with the stored image and determines from the position index of the stored image the absolute position (i+1) which is transmitted to the elevator control.

Title: Intra-aortic balloon apparatus
Inventor: NIGRONI PAUL
IPC: A61M60/538
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) (10) having improved automated electrocardiogram (ECG) based intra-aortic balloon deflation timing. Said IABP (10) capable of automatically determining to either deflate the intra-aortic balloon upon the detection of the next cardiac cycle (non-predictive deflation) or at an earlier point derived from predicting the occurrence of the next cycle (predictive deflation). This automated determination is based upon a quantitative assessment of the performance of the intra-aortic balloon pump (10) in predicting the prevailing cardiac rhythm.  The accuracy of deflation based upon beat-to-beat interval prediction is scored relative to actual beat-to-beat interval. Once the cumulative prediction score of a predetermined number of historic beat-to-beat intervals reaches a predetermined threshold for non-predictive deflation, the non-predictive deflation mode is automatically activated. Scoring of beat predictions continues in this mode to signal when to switch back to predictive deflation.
