Patent CA-2308076-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KARBASI AMIR
IPC: C08F4/64
Filed: 1998-11-09
Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for producing a propylene polymer nucleated with a polymeric nucleating agent containing vinyl compound units. The method comprises modifying a catalyst by polymerizing a vinyl compound in the presence of said catalyst in a medium, which does not essentially dissolve the polymerized vinyl compound, and by continuing the polymerization of the vinyl compound until the concentration of unreacted vinyl compounds is less than about 0.5 wt--%. The thus obtained modified catalyst composition is used for polymerizing propylene optionally together with comonomers in the presence of said modified catalyst composition.   Modification of the catalyst according to the present invention will reduce production costs and provide highly reliable catalyst activity.

Filed: 1998-11-03
Abstract: Boundary scan integrated circuits are provided with a plurality of new registers (56, 61, 62, 65, 67) between two dedicated pins, Test Data In (TDI) (16) and Test Data Out (TDO) (18) pins. The registers include an address register (56) and a plurality of test data registers (61, 62, 65, 66, 67) which are addressed by the address register using address instructions in the (IR) (23). Instructions for the addressable registers may be steered to the correct register with an ADDLOAD instructions placed in the (IR) followed by an address-dependent register active between the (TDI) and (TDO) pins. Any instruction from a set of address-dependent instructions may be steered to any register handling address dependent instructions allowing a small number of instructions to be used in a large number of addressable data registers.

Title: Combined sliding and pivot window assembly
Inventor: NEO SER LEE
IPC: E05D15/08
Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: A combined sliding and pivot window assembly including a plurality of sashes separately pivotally mounted on substantially C-shaped sash support frames that are slidably fixed on rails provided on an outer window frame. The window assembly includes combined sliding and locking mechanisms that allow the C-shaped sash support frames to slide on the rails when the sashes are pivotally closed, or to be locked on the rails when the sashes are pivotally opened, or to be pushed to one side in the outer window frame while allowing all the sashes to be pivotally opened; pivot mechanisms that allow the sashes to be pivotally opened and stay at any desired open position relative to the sash support frames; and elastic two-end locking mechanisms that are mounted in a vertical member of the sashes to lock the sashes at upper and lower ends to the sash support frames simply by laterally shifting an external adjusting key of the two-end locking mechanism. The combined sliding and pivot window assembly is therefore safer and more convenient for use.

IPC: B05C19/02
Filed: 1998-12-16
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé d'application de revêtement sur un substrat conducteur. Ce procédé consiste à: former un lit fluidisé à partir d'un composition de revêtement en poudre; immerger le substrat en partie ou en totalité dans ledit lit fluidisé, appliquer une tension au substrat pendant une partie au moins de la durée d'immersion, ce qui fait adhérer sur le substrat les particules de la composition en poudre, retirer ce substrat du lit fluidisé et coucher les particules adhérentes sans solution de continuité sur au moins une partie du substrat. Grâce à ce procédé, il est possible de déposer un revêtement sur des surfaces de substrat qui ne se prêtent pas à des procédés électrostatiques classiques d'application de revêtement à cause de l'effet de cage de Faraday, et également d'obtenir des couches plus minces qu'avec des procédés classiques par lit fluidisé.

Title: System and method for a previously activated mobile station to challenge network mobile station knowledge during over the air activation
Inventor: CORRIVEAU MICHEL
IPC: H04W8/26
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for over the air (OTA) activation of a previously activated mobile station (14) in a wireless telecommunications network. During the new activation, an over the air processor requests the data configuration of the mobile station. The mobile station may issue a first challenge to the over the air processor (12) and in so doing transmits a challenge message including certain mobile station parameters to the over the air processor. The over the air processor then communicates this information to the network authentication center (22) which produces a challenge return message from the certain mobile station parameters and sends the challenge return message to the mobile station. The mobile station validates the challenge return message and if validation is successful the mobile station completes the transfer of mobile station data configuration to the over the air processor. The authentication center uses one of the Shared Secret Data Challenge (SSD_C) and Shared Secret Data Subsidy (SSD_S) security locks not broadcast over the air in the generation of the challenge return message. The authentication center stores the SSD_C and SSD_S for this purpose and is advised by the mobile station on which one of these two parameters is to be used by a Shared Secret Data Select parameter indicator (SSD_Select) forwarded by the mobile station as one of the parameters transmitted in the challenge request. The over the air processor then forwards new operating parameters to the mobile station and requests the mobile station to commit to these parameters. The mobile station may then issue a second challenge to the over the air processor request to commit where the second challenge is handled by the network in a manner similar to the first challenge.
