Title: Non-interruption transmission line switching system in a duplex transmission network
Inventor: MUROI KIYOSHI
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1993-05-27
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure:     In a duplex transmission network comprising first and second transmission lines, first and second pointer renewing units process first and second transmission line frame signals from the first and the second transmission lines into first and second device frame signals.  Each transmission line frame signal comprises a virtual container (VC) and an original pointer designating a location of the VC in a transmission line frame.  Each device frame signal comprises the VC and a renewed pointer designating another location of the VC in a device frame.  In each pointer renewing unit, a pointer comparator (109) compares the renewed pointers of the first and the second device frame signals with each other and produces a subsidiary stuff control signal (215).  A selector (108) selects one of a primary stuff request signal (211) and the subsidiary stuff control signal as a selected stuff control signal used in a read controller (107).  A write controller (105) controls writing of the VC of the transmission line signal in a buffer memory in response to a selection signal (216) by supplying a write address signal to the memory.  The read controller controls reading of the VC from the memory in response to the selected stuff control signal by supplying a read address signal to the memory.

Title: Multiple Retroreflective Striping Method and Structure
Inventor: LANGILLE JOHN D
IPC: B60Q1/30
Filed: 1993-05-28
Abstract: Reflective tape  for  pinstriping  of  automobiles  or  other vehicles. The tape has strips of retroreflective material sandwiched between a bottom release liner of polyethylene coated paper and a clear top release liner having an adhesive undersurface for retaining the tape composite intact with the strips parallel one another  prior  to  and  during  application  to  a  vehicle.  The retroreflective material  is highly visible at night for safety.          The strips include  pressure-sensitive adhesive. When the tape is applied to a vehicle, thin pinstripes of retroreflective material are seen. The material may be colored to contrast with the color of the vehicle paint,  which is visible on either side of the tape and also through the open middle section between the pinstripes of retroreflective material.  The strips are applied by peeling away the bottom liner as the top liner and strips are applied to a surface; thereafter, the top release liner is peeled away leaving only the two retroreflective material strips on the surface.  The tape is made by sandwiching the strips between the bottom and top release liners.

Patent CA-2099796-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALLSTROM RAE A U
IPC: F27D17/00
Filed: 1993-07-05
Abstract: A flue gas scrubber for removing sulfur from flue gas.  This scrubber, whether a horizontal or a vertical scrubber and whether a dry or a semi-dry scrubber, incorporates a recycle line that separates heavier dry solid particles from the finer particles still  entrained  within  the  cleaned  flue  gas. This  recycle conduit then delivers these removed dry solid particles back to the scrubber for re-injection therein so as to reduce the drying time of the reagent slurry sprayed within the scrubber.   Such drying time is reduced by the recycle of these dry solids because of  the  increased  surface  area  overwhich  the  reagent  is  now sprayed.

Patent CA-2111541-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FARRINGTON ERIC K
IPC: D06F37/22
Filed: 1993-12-15
Abstract: ABSTRACT      A  dynamic  balancer  for  a  laundry  apparatus  having a rotatable  drum for receiving  a clothes load.   The  rotatable drum has a horizontal geometric axis and is rotatably supported to rotate about its horizontal geometric axis.   The  rotatable drum includes a generally cylindrical outer wall  defining  the horizontal geometric axis, a first disk and a second disk.  The first disk is provided for forming a first end wall of the drum and  includes  a  balancing  means  including  a  plurality  of concentric annular chambers.  The second disk is  provided  for forming a second end wall of the drum, opposite the  first  end wall, and also includes a balancing means including a plurality of   concentric  annular  chambers.   The   annular  concentric chambers  are  partially filled  with  fluid for  balancing the rotatable drum.  In operation, the rotatable drum is subject to an  out-of-balance mass as a  result of uneven distribution  of the  clothes  load within  the  drum.  The  out-of-balance mass creates  a spinning axis distinct from the horizontal geometric axis  causing vibration during rotation.  The balancing of this vibration  occurs as the fluid  within the chambers, under  the influence  of  centrifugal  forces occurring  during unbalanced rotation,  is distributed within the chambers opposite the out-of-balance  mass thereby correcting for the out-of-balance mass such that the geometric horizontal axis and the  spinning  axis are substantially coincident.   36.

Title: Handheld Obstacle Penetrating Motion Detecting Radar
Inventor: FRAZIER LAWRENCE M
IPC: G01S13/88
Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: A motion detection radar system that is adapted to produce radar warning signals regarding the presence of moving objects that are located behind structural barriers and the like is comprised of a low power frequency tunable continuous wave transmitter and antenna, a receiver, an FM transmitter and antenna, and a handheld remote FM receiver.  The radar system may be adapted to operate at any frequency from 600 MHz to 1.2 GHz.  The motion detecting radar system uses a technique for measuring the changes in phase difference and the rate of change of phase differences detected thereby. The receiver captures the total energy reflected from all reflective objects within the antenna field of view and compares that signal with the transmitted signal in a mixer.  If all objects are stationary and the radar system is stationary, the total complex phase pattern of the return signal is constant, and a fixed DC output signal is provided from the mixer.  Any motion within the field of view changes the fixed phase relationship and causes a phase rate of change at the receiver output. The phase rate of change is converted into a tone which allows an operator to recognize object motion.  The tone is transmitted by the FM transmitter to the remote FM receiver used by the operator to monitor monitor object motion.  The receiver output is almost inaudible when there are no moving objects, but an alarm tone is provided when object motion is present.  The detection process used in the motion detecting radar is unique in that it captures minute changes in the complex signal from all reflectors and converts the moving object differences into the audible alarm.

Filed: 1994-12-20
Abstract: A catalyst deterioration-determining device for an internal combustion engine, in which a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of a catalyst body is eliminated, but high-precision determination can be made to the deterioration of the catalyst body.  To this end, a control unit determines, on the basis of a warm-up counter used for a catalyst body, whether or not the catalyst body is in a predetermined warm-up state.  The warm-up counter reckons in relation to any engine load of an internal combustion engine.  If the catalyst body is found to be in the predetermined warm-up state according to the above determination, the control unit determines whether or not deterioration-determining conditions for the catalyst body have been fulfilled.
