Title: Apparatus and method for distribution of streamed real-time information between clients
Inventor: PARNES PETER
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-05-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for distribution of streamed signals between a group of different participating users in a computer network, the users accessing client terminals with multiple facilities (10, 20, 30) for accessibility and participation in various media sessions. The apparatus comprises image capturing means (60) adapted to capture and transmit a streamed signal within at least one established media session (50, 52, 54) and the session defined by the users in a computer network having access to the signal stream.  A  first facility (10) of the client terminal is associated with the media session and has an established connection with the image capturing means for receiving the streamed signal sent out therefrom. Moreover, the present invention is characterised in that a second facility (20, 30) of the client terminal is adapted to send out a request within a common session (56), the request instructing the first facility of the client terminal to provide a copy to the second facility of the signal stream transmitted from the image capturing means, so as to allow the user access to multiple media sessions simultaneously.

Patent CA-2491298-A1 (CA)
Title: Pneumatic reciprocating motor
Inventor: PAVAL DAN
IPC: F04B9/12
Filed: 2004-12-30
Abstract: A gas-actuated reciprocal drive apparatus has a double-acting piston in a pneumatic cylinder having a chamber at each end. Gas from an area of higher pressure in a compressed gas system flows into a first chamber, while the second chamber is in fluid communication with an area of lower pressure in the gas system. The piston moves toward the second chamber, purging gas therein back to the lower-pressure area in the gas system, without any venting to the atmosphere. A four-way gas valve reverses the piston motion after each stroke, by reversing the chambers' gas connections. The piston has a pair of circumferential seals, plus a differential shuttle valve that allows gas from the lower-pressure chamber to enter the annular space between the seals, such that the pressure differential across the seals always equals the pressure differential between the two chambers, regardless of the actual pressures in the chambers, thus reducing friction forces on the piston seals, increasing the power output of the apparatus, and extending the service life of the seals.

Patent CA-2520761-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOUBEN RICHARD R P
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: The invention is directed to denoising techniques for electrograms, or other biomedical signals, in which wavelet transformations are used in the denoising process. For example, an electrogram can be represented by a finite set of wavelets which comprise a decomposition of the electrogram in the scale-time domain. In accordance with the invention, an electrogram can be transformed into a set of wavelets, and thresholding can be performed on the wavelets to eliminate noise while preserving the information of the electrogram. Different thresholds can be used for the wavelets in different scales for improved denoising results. If a respective threshold exceeds a wavelet coefficient, the wavelet coefficient is reduced. Following the thresholding process, the wavelets can be converted into a denoised electrogram, which can be analyzed or processed. In this manner, wavelet transformations can be exploited for effective electrogram denoising.

Title: Method and sytem for the three-dimensional surface reconstruction of an object
Inventor: SEGEV AVNER
IPC: G06V10/147
Filed: 2004-07-22
Abstract: A method for reconstructing 3D surface structure of an object uses a two stage approach. In the first stage, a first set of images is obtained, and a spatial coding technique, such as a random grid, is used for correspondence mapping of coordinates from a first image to a second image of an object, and the images are obtained at different angles with respect to the object. In the second stage, a second structured illumination, typically comprising a striped grid, is used to obtain a second set of images, typically comprising two further images of the object. The mapping provided by the first stage provides proper labeling of the grid between these two images of the second set, and enables accurate matching of elements between these images. Triangulation or epipole methods can then be used for obtaining the 3D coordinates of the surface being reconstructed.
