Patent CA-2359513-C (CA)
Inventor: SHAW WEEKS TANYA ANN
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2001-10-19
Granted: 2012-10-09
Abstract: A method of garment fitting, selection and creation is provided. The invention provides for the scanning of an individual to provide a photo-realistic virtual 3-D image of the individual in a physically simulated 3-D garment and provides for the use of measurements of the individual to intelligently recommend garments, produce patterns for custom made garments, provide alteration suggestions to fit a garment to the particular individual. The measurements and the photo- realistic 3-D information is stored so that an individual does not need to re-input information or undergo multiple scans, and can shop from home using the previously obtained information profile. Measurements and suggestions can be used by the individual or automatically sent to a manufacturer, dressmaker or tailor for the creation or alteration of a garment to achieve a correct fit for the individual.

Title: Methods and systems for coding of broadcast messages
Inventor: RAITH ALEX KRISTER
IPC: H04L1/08
Filed: 1999-12-13
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A message is wirelessly broadcast to wireless terminals by error cor-rection coding the message to produce an error correction coded message block, di-viding the error correction coded message block into frames and error correction cod-ing the frames to produce error correction coded frames. The error correction coding frames are wirelessly broadcast to the wireless terminals. At the wireless terminals, the frames are received and the frames are error correction decoded to produce error correction decoded frames. The error correction decoded frames are combined into a message block, and the message block is error correction decoded to produce the message. By error correction coding the entire message in addition to error correc-tion coding the frames of the message, long messages may be reliably broadcast and received notwithstanding fading and the other problems in the transmission.  Accord-ingly, a broadcast channel that is designed for short message usage also may be used to reliably transmit long messages. The invention may, for example, be applicable to a TDMA system that includes a Digital Control CHannel (DCCH) having a short message Service Broadcast Control CHannel (S-BCCH) logical channel. The error correction coded frames are placed in the S-BCCH logical channel. The S-BCCH  logical channel is then wirelessly broadcast to the radiotelephones in a plurality of TDMA time slots.

Title: Sound transmitting device for a fishing lure
Inventor: ARCAND ROBERT
IPC: A01K87/00
Filed: 2002-07-10
Granted: 2007-09-11
Abstract: A device is provided for transmitting a sound signal to a fishing lure on a fishing line of a fishing rod. The device includes a vibrating element supported on the fishing rod to transmit vibrations to the fishing nod and means for coupling the vibrating element to a sound signal source to vibrate the vibrating element in response to the sound signal. The vibrating element is movable relative to the fishing rod at a frequency dependent upon a frequency of the sound signal and at an amplitude dependent upon an amplitude of the sound signal. The vibrating element allows sound to be transmitted to a fishing lure without the need of a complex and specially adapted lure. The sound can be transmitted to a conventional fishing lure through the fishing line in the form of vibrations within a range of frequencies audible to the fish. Furthermore, the vibrations can be completely random so as to simulate movements of live bait.

Granted: 2008-09-23
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for extruding material, the material being extruded with an apparatus comprising at least one rotatable rotor (3) and at least one stator (1, 2), the rotor (3) and the stator (1, 2) comprising grooves (8, 9), whereby the grooves (8, 9) make the material move through the apparatus when the rotor (3) is rotated. The rotor (3) and stator (1, 2) surfaces facing each other have a wavelike cross-section, and the grooves (8, 9) are so arranged that at the ridge of a wave the depth of a groove (8, 9) reaches its maximum, and at the bottom of a wave the depth reaches its minimum. The bottom of the wave in the rotor (3) is at the ridge of the wave in the stator (1, 2) and vice versa. This makes the material move alternately from a rotor (3) groove (8) to a stator (1, 2) groove (9), and back.
