Title: Recovery from resource mismatch in a wireless communication system
Inventor: GOROKHOV ALEXEI
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2007-09-05
Abstract: System(s) and method(s) that facilitate assignment mismatch recovery are provided. A projected level of resources required to satisfy one or more communication constraints (e.g., inter-cell and intra-cell interference) is generated.

Patent CA-2685218-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAUTHIER DANIELLE
IPC: A01F15/00
Filed: 2009-10-16
Abstract: Bedding material for livestock is produced by extruding straw through a conventional cubing system rather than a conventional pellet mill. The cubing process generates friction in turn changing the properties of the straw making the straw particles highly absorbent. The cubing process allows for greater particle size in the finished product as compared to pellets produce in a conventional pellet mill.  The process involves the following: shredding the straw to proper size, cubing the straw into cubes and flakes, cooling, storing and packaging. The cubing process requires 40% less energy based on throughput of finished product, thus making the material more affordable to larger farming operations. Some other properties include a higher bulk density than large conventional bales or wood shavings, less dust when applying, a pasteurized product, easier to handle and spread compared to straw bales, wood shavings and sawdust
