Title: Calculation of radiation therapy dose using all particle monte carlo transport
Inventor: HARTMANN SIANTAR CHRISTINE L
IPC: A61B6/03
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: The actual radiation dose absorbed in the body is calculated using three-dimensional Monte Carlo transport (19). Neutrons, protons, deuterons, tritons, helium-3, alpha particles, photons, electrons, and positrons are transported in a completely coupled manner, using this Monte Carlo All-Particle Method (MCAPM) (18). The major elements of the invention include: computer hardware , user description of the patient, description of the radiation source, physical databases, Monte Carlo transport, and output of dose distributions (15). This facilitated the estimation of dose distributions on a Cartesian grid for neutrons, photons, electrons, positrons, and heavy charged-particles incident on any biological target, with resolutions ranging from microns to centimeters. Calculations can be extended to estimate dose distributions on general-geometry (non-Cartesian) grids for biological and/or non-biological media.
Patent CA-2249582-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for reducing co-channel interference
Inventor: CHENNAKESHU SANDEEP
IPC: H04W16/02
Filed: 1997-03-28
Abstract: The amount of co-channel interference which occurs for any given time slot in a cellular communication system can be reduced by distributing or averaging out the co-channel interference to other time slots. This averaging out results from the staggering of control and traffic signals for a given time slot wherein the staggering is relative to the same time slot in the same frequency channel at neighboring clusters of cells. If a transmitter is on a satellite which transmits to the various clusters, the method and apparatus prevents an interfering signal from interfering with the entire time slot. The inventive method and apparatus requires synchronization of the control and traffic signal transmission to the clusters relative to each other so that the amount of delay introduced while staggering the time slots can be predicted and controlled.

Title: Card reader with card capture clamp
Inventor: DONALDSON ROBERT WELLINGTON
IPC: G06K13/08
Filed: 1999-06-04
Abstract: A card reader card capture clamp having a base plate for slidably receiving a card. A switch detects movement of the card past a predetermined position and produces a "card insertion" signal representative thereof. A clamp plate pivots between a clamped position in which the card is clamped between the two plates, and an unclamped position in which the card is movable relative to the plates.      The clamp plate is biased into the unclamped position in the absence of production of the card insertion signal. A solenoid coupled between the two plates is actuated upon production of the card insertion signal to overcome the biasing and move the clamp plate from the unclamped into the clamped position. The switch includes two switch arms respectively pivotally mounted on opposed rearward ends of the clamp plate. Magnets are provided on the switch arms, and magnetic field sensors are mounted adjacent to the switch arms. Movement of the card past the predetermined position moves the switch arms relative to the magnetic field sensors, causing the sensors to detect magnetic field changes and to thereupon produce the card insertion signal. A clamping detection sensor detects movement of the clamp plate into the clamped position and produces a "card clamped" signal representative thereof. The clamping detection sensor includes a magnetic field sensor mounted on the clamp plate and a magnet mounted adjacent to the clamp plate. Movement of the clamp plate from the unclamped into the clamped position moves the magnetic field sensor relative to the magnet, causing the magnetic field sensor to detect a magnetic field change and to thereupon produce the card clamped signal.
