Patent CA-2309271-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEGERICH STEPHAN
IPC: G01R23/16
Filed: 1998-10-30
Abstract: The invention is a method and system for monitoring at least one of a system, a process and a data source. A method and system have been developed for carrying out surveillance, testing and modification of an ongoing process or other source of data, such as a spectroscopic examination.      A signal from the system under surveillance is collected and compared with a learned states (40), a frequency domain transformation carried out for the system signal and reference signal, and a frequency domain difference function is established. The process is then repeated until a full range of data is accumulated over the time domain and an SPRT methodology (50) is applied to determine a three-dimensional surface plot (60) characteristic of the operating state of the system under surveillance.
Patent CA-2310483-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZHOU ZHIHONG
IPC: B01J20/12
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: A reinforced networked polymer/clay alloy composite is produced by contacting a monomer/clay mixture with a reinforcing agent. The monomer/clay mixture comprises a monomer, a cross-linking agent and clay particles. An initiator means is used to initiate polymerization of the monomer/clay mixture, while the cross-linking agent concurrently acts to network oligomeric and polymeric species formed during polymerization to produce a networked polymer/clay alloy in the presence of the reinforcing agent. The networked polymer/clay alloy is intimately integrated with the reinforcing agent such that, on exposure to water, the networked polymer/clay alloy swells with substantially no clay separating from the composite.

Title: Method for time coordination of the transmission of data on a bus
Inventor: BOTT WOLFGANG
IPC: G06F13/376
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: In a method for time coordination of the transmission of cyclic data values on a bus to which data transmitters and data receivers are connected, each data transmitter is assigned a cycle time in which it periodically transmits its data values, wherein the cycle times are integer multiples of a minimum cycle time. Furthermore, each data value is assigned a delay time related to the start of the cycle time of its data transmitter. A synchronization message is transmitted via the bus to each data transmitter with a period corresponding to the cycle time of the respective data transmitter and has a phase which is specific for the data transmitter with respect to the start of the minimum cycle time. The reception of its synchronization message in each data transmitter initiates the transmission of its data values with the respective delay time.

Title: A decoder having a gain controller in a mobile communication system
Inventor: CHOI SOON-JAE
IPC: H03M13/45
Filed: 1999-12-30
Abstract: An iterative decoder with a gain controller in a mobile communication system.  In the iterative decoder, a first component decoder receives a first extrinsic information signal, a first parity signal, and a systematic code signal, decodes the systematic code signal out of the received signals, and generates a primary decoded signal including a second extrinsic information component. Here, the first and second extrinsic information signals remove noise in the input signals to the first and second component decoders. A second component decoder receives the primary decoded signal from the first component decoder and a second parity signal, decodes the decoded signal out of the received signals, and generates a secondary decoded signal and the first extrinsic information signal. One or more gain controllers are connected between the first and second component decoders, for attenuating either or both the first and second extrinsic information signals.
