Patent CA-2435771-A1 (CA)
Title: Dynamic noise supression voice communication device
Inventor: DAME STEPHEN G
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2003-07-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device that dynamically applies the energy of the voice as a control signal to modulate the volume of an input microphone signal to achieve dynamic voice activated noise suppression. When the energy of the microphone signal is low, very little amplification energy is applied to boost the volume of the microphone signal. If the energy is medium to high, amplification energy is applied to the microphone output sufficient to raise the signal level to audible levels. The perceptual effect of this is that the ambient noise appears (to the listener) to be removed from the signal. This is due to the psychoacoustic effect that louder signals tend to mask softer signals (even if the softer signals are noise). Generally, even in a high noise environment, the energy of the noise signal is somewhat lower than the direct spoken input to a microphone, due to the proximity of the typical microphone to the speaker's mouth. When the person stops speaking, the volume of the amplified noise input immediately (within 6 - 20 milliseconds) tracks the voice energy downward and is thus perceived by the listener to be suppressed immediately after the speaker finished their spoken utterances.

Title: Automatic camera image transmittal system
Inventor: PAUL GLENN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: An automatic camera image transmittal system and method permits the safe, efficient and secure transmission of digital images (1012A) to a wireless network (1011) where they are archived and retrieved by authorized parties (1018). Initially the image is compressed and transmitted to the wireless network (1011) with a unique identifier, which authenticates the validity of the transmittal. The unique identifier includes a portion that is related to the specific camera used so that if the camera is stolen, the network will not accept images from that camera in the future. Fractal geometry technology is used to reconstitute the images (1012A) and improve picture resolution. The network (1017) can track the images (1012A) via the unique camera serial numbers and the preferences set by the customer (1100) at the time the camera is purchased. Information such as payment, printing, storage, and other data regarding the customer preference as well as passwords are also stored in the system (1010). The system and method enables customers (1100) to safely and securely transmit, store and retrieve digital images (1012A) without running out of film or having to connect to a computer or data card (1014).

Title: Connecting an anchoring rod to a drilling tool
Inventor: PAPOUSEK HERBERT
IPC: E21D20/00
Filed: 2001-07-19
Abstract: The invention relates to an anchoring rod (6) for rock anchoring (self-drilling injection bolts), comprising an outer thread (9) for connecting the anchoring rod (6) to a drilling tool (1) via a coupling sleeve (5). The end of the anchoring rod (6), which is screwed into the coupling sleeve (5), comprises a section (12) which has a reduced diameter in comparison with the outer diameter of the anchoring rod (6).
