Patent CA-2376408-C (CA)
Inventor: MISKA STANLEY R
IPC: H01B5/14
Filed: 2002-03-14
Granted: 2011-02-22
Abstract: A conductive gasket is disclosed for use in apparatus to block the exit or entry of electromagnetic interference (EMI) between adjacent metal surfaces of the apparatus. The gasket is formed at least in part by a polymeric film having an outward facing surface embossed so as to provide a plurality of peaks distributed over the surface. A metal is coated, by vapor deposition, onto the surface so as to overlay the peaks. This provides the film with a conductive surface.  When located between adjacent metal surfaces, abrasion of the metal coating from the peaks over time does not adversely affect the conductive properties of the film surface.  This is because the wearing away of the metal from the tops of the peaks exposes a cross section of the metal at the sides of the peaks, which remain in contact with the adjacent metal surfaces of the apparatus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'émission et la réception d'un signal de données au moyen d'une pluralité d'antennes de transmission. Chaque antenne émet un signal pilote différent possédant une séquence de code de puce pseudo-aléatoire. Un récepteur filtre chaque pilote transmis au moyen de ce code de puce de pilote. Les pilotes filtrés sont pondérés et combinés. Chaque pondération de signal pilote est ajustée de façon adaptative en partie en fonction de la qualité de signal du signal combiné. Un signal de données est émis, de sorte que différentes versions de l'étalement du spectre du signal de données sont émises depuis chaque antenne de transmission. Chaque version possède un identificateur différent de code de puce. A réception, chaque version est filtrée au moyen de son code de puce associé.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des méthodes permettant de déterminer la présence d'acides nucléiques double brin dans un échantillon. Comme illustré dans la figure 1A, les acides nucléiques présents dans un échantillon de fluide sont transloqués par un nanopore, par exemple par application d'un champ électrique sur l'échantillon de fluide. L'amplitude du courant dans le nanopore est surveillée pendant le processus de translocation et les changements d'amplitude sont liés au passage de molécules simple brin ou double brin par le nanopore. Ces méthodes sont utilisées dans diverses applications dans lesquelles on souhaite détecter la présence d'acides nucléiques double brin dans un échantillon, par exemple dans les tests d'hybridation, telles que les tests Northern blot, les tests Southern blot et les tests d'hybridation en série.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing radio link supervision time in a high data rate system
Inventor: HOAGLAND GREG M
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2001-02-07
Granted: 2012-01-31
Abstract: A method of supervising on the forward link in a high data rate system is disclosed, wherein a base station transmits to an access terminal on a forward traffic channel only when the base station has data to send to the access terminal. The base station minimizes the worst-case period necessary to reclaim traffic channel resources following a release by periodically transmitting a configuration packet to its access terminals. The configuration packet indicates the allocation status of the traffic channels belonging to the base station. If an access terminal receives a configuration packet indicating the deallocation of one or all of its traffic channels, the access terminal immediately ceases its use of those traffic channels. If an access terminal fails to successfully decode a configuration packet for a predetermined supervision time, the access terminal releases its connection with all base stations and associated traffic channels.

Abstract: A transmitting section makes light, intensity-modulated by a modulating signal of a sine wave having a designated frequency, be incident on one end side of an optical fiber which is a measurement object. A feature value determining section converts the light, which exits from another end side of the optical fiber, into an electric signal, and finds, from the electric signal, a predetermined feature value of a signal component having a frequency equal to the frequency of the modulating signal. A computing section obtains a nonlinear refractive index of the optical fiber to be measured from the predetermined feature value by calculation corresponding to the predetermined feature value based on a nonlinear Schroedinger (Schrödinger) equation.

Abstract: A display device, according to the present invention, taking the form of a scroll with handle and a spool-rod shaft for rolling and unrolling printed flexible material and a tubular housing with an internal chamber -a floating cowling- freely rotatable over said wound spool-rod from which the printed material is extendable. The scroll text or image to be viewed is manually extendable by pulling it through a continuous longitudinal slit in the cowling with a pull-tab that prevents it from being irretrievably drawn into the cowling. The cowling is rotatably received at its open ends over the spool-rod by a pair of retaining aligning yokes. The invention improves on traditional scrolls by providing protective containment for the printed material without requiring the containment's separation for display.    The cowling and handle are adaptable as works of art related to the printed material.
