Title: Automated frequency stepping noise measurement test system
Inventor: RZYSKI EUGENE
IPC: G01S7/40
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: A noise measurement test system is provided for making phase noise measurements of a unit under test (UUT). The noise measurement test system comprises a variable amplifier, a variable low noise source, a variable phas e shifter, a mixer, a variable low noise matching amplifier, analog-to-digital  converter, a processor and a spectrum analyzer. A first low noise signal, created by the low noise source, is routed through the unit under test and variable amplifier to the mixer. A second low noise signal, also created by the low noise source, is routed through the variable phase shifter to the mixer. The mixer places the received signals in phase quadrature and outputs  a measurement test signal which is routed through an analog-to-digital convert or to the processor and spectrum analyzer. The processor includes control links  for adjusting the amplifier, low noise source and phase shifter to ensure th at the signals received by the mixer are in phase quadrature. The processor als o controls the low noise matching amplifier to ensure that there is proper impedance between the mixer and analog-to-digital convertor, and to ensure that the measurement test signal is of sufficient amplification for proper noise testing. In preferred embodiments, the processor provides for automati c control of the test system through an entire test protocol. In additional preferred embodiments, the noise measurement test system provides for calibration signals which vary in amplitude and frequency relative to a carrier signal.

Title: Patching and strengthening system for cracks in foundation walls and slabs
Inventor: DEVINO BEN LOUIS
IPC: E02D37/00
Filed: 2002-07-09
Abstract: This invention uses Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Fabrics to completely and specially formulated waterproof epoxies to repair and strengthen concrete walls and slabs The result of the use of this combined material is to seal the cracks and add tension strength to the walls and slabs thereby eliminating possible reopening of the cracks.   This in turn reduces the overall cost of future repairs to the existing building due to failure of the concrete foundation.  The process of using this invention is as follows: First cleaning the crack, applying a prime coat of special waterproof epoxy, and then laying up a strip of saturated FRP fabric along the entire crack.  The prescribed number of layers of FRP Fabric needed to repair the crack will depend on the extent of weakness in the structure caused by the crack. The manufacturing process will produce 6-inch wide strips of glass fabric woven bi-directionally or unidirectionally and producing specially formulated epoxies to saturate the fabric and prime the cracked area.   The finished product will provide external reinforcement to the wall or slab increasing its tensile strength. The advantage of this system will be to reduce the cost of repeatedly using epoxy compounds that do not maintain their crack plugging capabilities for any reasonable length of time thereby reducing the long-term cost of crack repair.

Patent CA-2400617-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WESTERBERG IDA
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2001-04-05
Abstract: Method and system for information association based on an absolute position coding pattern comprising dots or markings which codes coordinates for a position on an imaginary surface. The imaginary surface comprises several regions which are divided in areas, each defined by said coordinates. Hand-written information is digitized by a handheld device which is moved over a surface provided with said pattern and acts like a pen to make notes on the surface. At the same time, the pattern is sensed and coordinates for the pen is calculated regularly. By passing the handheld device over the borderline between areas having different coordinates, a hyperline is generated having a discontinuity. Such a hyperline is easily recognized by the computer system and is used for connecting information at different areas, giving information some properties, like color, or performing an action on the information, such as encryption, or transferring the information to a recipient.

Title: Pharmacotherapeutic process and composition for central nervous system disorders
Inventor: KUBEK MICHAEL J
IPC: A61K31/195
Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of modulating the release of at least one endogenous compound in vivo.  The method comprises delivering intranasally at least one micro-construct comprising an agonist and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to a locus comprising an agonist receptor and a heterologous receptor that is coupled to at least one common signaling molecule. The micro-construct used in the present inventive method provides sustained release of the agonist provided by erosion of an exterior surface defined by the micro-construct. Once released, the agonist effectively up- or down-regulates at least one signaling molecule common to both the agonist receptor and the heterologous receptor, thereby potentiating or desensitizing the heterologous receptor in order to modulate release of at least one endogenous compound under the control of the heterologous receptor.

Abstract: An optical switch for switching the light path between collimate lenses (35) optically coupled to the ends of corresponding optical fibers (4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d) by the advancing and retracting movements of a prism (31) is provided comprising an electromagnetic driver (2) having an armature (21) arranged to hold the prism (31) and a coil block (2a) for driving the movement of the armature (21) by means of magnetic actions and a leaf spring (27) consisting mainly of four parallelly extending spring strips (27aa, 27ab, 27ac, and 27ad) and fixedly joined at one end to a body (1) and at the other end to the armature (21) thus to spatially hold the armature (21) and the prism (31) for linear movement. The electromagnetic driver (2) and the prism (31) are disposed next to each other along the moving direction of the armature (21).  The armature (21) and the prism (31) can linearly be moved at a right angle to the light path between the lenses (35) when the optical switch is in action.  This allows the prism to be linearly moved, unlike any conventional arrangement where a moving member holding the prism is pivotably moved about a pivot. Since dead space for clearing the pivotal movement of the prism is not needed, the body can be minimized in the overall size.

IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2003-03-18
Abstract: A financial system in which an intermediary facilitates transactions between one or more credit card issuers and a plurality of different vendors which may be related by a common characteristic. The financial system of the present invention preferably includes a consumer credit card and a membership card, both including some type of rewards program. A customer applies for the credit card and membership card at a point-of-sale associated with a vendor that sponsors the credit card. The vendor uses a computer with a hardware or software identification system to securely transmit the application to the intermediary via a broad bandwidth communication medium, such as the Internet. The credit card issuer may use an instant on-line approval mechanism to instantly send a credit card number and initial spending limit to the customer via the vendor's computer. If the customer is not instantly or otherwise approved for the credit card, the intermediary may provide the customer with a branded membership card that carries no purchasing power, but which provides certain rewards at the vendor's location, preferably building customer loyalty to the vendor.
