Patent CA-2521450-A1 (CA)
Title: Contention-based forwarding with integrated multi-user detection capability
Inventor: JOHANSSON NIKLAS
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2004-03-17
Abstract: A basic idea is to employ multi-user detection (MUD) at the receiver side in a multi-hop network to concurrently decode multiple packets transmitted from multiple nodes (T1, T2), and prioritize among the correctly decoded packets to select one or more packets suitable for forwarding, and finally reply with a packet acknowledgement (ACK) to the corresponding transmitting node for each selected packet. In this way, the design choice of MUD is exploited in the forwarding procedure. It is furthermore beneficial to exploit also the diversity enabled by the existence of multiple relay nodes (R1, R2, R3). A  transmitting node that transmits its data packet signal to multiple relay candidate nodes and then receives packet acknowledgements from at least two relay candidate nodes preferably performs a prioritization to select a suitable relay node. The transmitting node then transmits a forwarding order (FO) to the selected relay node, which takes on responsibility for forwarding the information to the next node.
Patent CA-2523999-A1 (CA)

IPC: B62D55/07
Filed: 2005-10-21
Abstract: A snowmobile tunnel has a top surface for supporting a seat and a pair of beveled surfaces that connect to and flare outwardly and downwardly from side edges of the top surface. The tunnel also has a pair of spaced-apart, substantially vertical side surfaces connected to, and depending downwardly from, each of the beveled surfaces. Whereas the side edges of a prior-art, square-profile tunnel tend to dig into the rider's legs when cornering and/or when riding a wide-track snowmobile, the beveled tunnel design of the present invention greatly diminishes this problem and thus enhances rider comfort.

Patent CA-2530859-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANDERSON PETER TRANEUS
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2004-07-01
Abstract: A wireless electromagnetic tracking system using a nonlinear passive transponder (10, 100) is provided. The transponder (10, 100) employs a coil (50, 150) connected in parallel with a diode (40, 140). The transponder (10, 100) emits a response signal when an excitation signal is incident upon the coil (50, 150) of the transponder (10, 100). Inclusion of the diode (40, 140) in the transponder circuit introduces nonlinear characteristics into the waveform of the response signal emitted by the transponder (10, 100). The nonlinear characteristics can be varied by changing the capacitance level of the transponder circuit. The nonlinear characteristics of the response signal can be used to discern the response signal from the excitation signal when both signals are received at a receiver. The nonlinear characteristics can also be utilized in a system of encoding data that is to be transmitted from a transponder (10, 100) to a receiver.

Title: Method for configuration throughput of electronic circuits
Inventor: RICCHETTI MICHAEL
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 2004-07-22
Abstract: A system and method for maximizing the throughput of test and configuration in the manufacture of electronic circuits and systems. The system employs a tester having a flexible parallel test architecture (302) with expandable resources that can accommodate a selected number of units under test or UUTs (304.1, 304.2, 304.n). The parallel test architecture is configurable to accept separate banks or partitions of UUTs, thereby enabling the system to obtain an optimal or maximum achievable throughput of test and configuration for the UUTs. The system determines an optimal or maximum achievable throughput by calculating a desired number N of UUTs to be tested/configured in parallel. Testing or configuring this desired number of UUTs in parallel allows the handling time to be balanced with the test and configuration times, thereby resulting in the maximum achievable throughput.

Title: Client-side presence documentation
Inventor: MILLER DAVID MICHAEL
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2006-01-19
Abstract: Client-side presence documentation is implemented in an instant messaging architecture. In a described implementation, respective presence documents are stored locally at respective client devices. Accordingly, presence information can be shared and disseminated in accordance with a peer to peer paradigm. In another described implementation, presence documents can include presence information that is extensible in accordance with a presence document schema.    Consequently, new instant messaging scenarios can be more easily accommodated. In yet another described implementation, new presence information notification messages include deltas representing the changes to presence information items. The changes can be applied to the presence information items based on the deltas to produce a new presence document. If a verification value computed on the new presence document fails to equate to a received confirmation value, then a destination client can request a complete copy of the actual new presence document from the originating client.

Title: Slot-to-interlace and interlace-to-slot converters for an ofdm system
Inventor: WANG MICHAEL
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2005-05-18
Abstract: In an OFDM system, multiple (M) interlaces are defined for M non-overlapping sets of frequency subbands, and M slots with fixed indices are also defined.  Data streams and pilot are mapped to slots, which are in turn mapped to interlaces based on a slot-to-interlace mapping scheme that can achieve frequency diversity and good performance for all slots. At a transmitter, a slot-to-interlace converter maps the slots to the interlaces. The slot-to-interlace converter includes multiple multiplexers and a control unit. The multiplexers map the M slots to the M interlaces based on the slot-to-interlace mapping scheme. The control unit generates at least one control signal for the multiplexers. The multiplexers may be arranged and controlled in various manners depending on the slot-to-interlace mapping scheme. At a receiver, a complementary interlace-to-slot converter maps the interlaces to the slots.
