Patent CA-2388842-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZIDAROV DIMO
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: A method of processing data representing intensity values of a measurement signal as a function of a discrete variable such as time, which signal being characterized by series of peaks mixed with a substantially regular background noise, provides efficient noise attenuation and peak detection capabilities.  When applied to a two-dimensional system, the method comprises an initial step of forming an intensity histogram vector representing a frequency distribution from the intensity values, which intensity histogram vector having N frequency vector components associated with corresponding N intensity sub-ranges within a maximum range extending from a minimum intensity value to a maximum intensity value. This initial step is followed by a step of zeroing a portion of the data corresponding to the intensity values which are below an intensity threshold value derived from shape characteristics of the distribution. Then, the intensity threshold value is subtracted from each remaining portion of the data to obtain processed data representing the measurement signal in which each peak exhibits an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. The method is also applicable to multi-dimensional measurement systems involving more than one variable, such as chromatography / mass spectrometry measurement techniques.

Title: Gas-permeable plug and method for manufacturing the same
Inventor: HARA KOUICHI
IPC: B29L31/56
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas-permeable plug and a method for manufacturing the same, in which the plug is formed so that permeation from the inside of the plug to the outside is possible, while foreign matter such as water droplets or dust is unable to infiltrate the inside of the plug. The plug is comprised of a plug body and a permeable sheet integrally bonded therewith. The plug body is injection molded and has a substantially ring or tubular shape. A vent hole is formed through a center portion of the plug body and a sheet-bonding portion is formed outside the vent hole. The permeable sheet has countless minute permeable pores/gaps that are directed in irregular directions, and is integrally bonded to the sheet-bonding portion of the plug body by an anchor operation, which closes the vent hole resulting in the desired permeable characteristic of the plug.

Abstract: This invention provides fault tolerant capability for a Versa Module Eurocards backplane system design for high reliability applications. An approach of connecting two independent backplanes (10, 14) together electrically, but providing isolation capabilities in the event a failure was developed. The electrical connection or integrated bridge design provides a virtual connection between the two VME backplanes (10, 14) that is transparent to the end user. The integrated virtual VMEbus design provides a low latency, high bandwidth interconnect between modules (12, 16) whether located on the same local bus (10, 14) or the electrically isolatable bus (18). This dual-VME  fault tolerant backplane design eliminates complete system failures due to single event failures.

IPC: C12N13/00
Filed: 2001-02-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for selectively destroying dividing cells in living tissue formed of dividing cells and non-dividing cells. The dividing cells contain polarizable intracellular members and during late anaphase or telophase, the dividing cells are connected to one another by a cleavage furrow. According to the present method the living tissue is subjected to electric field conditions sufficient to cause movement of the polarizable intracellular members toward the cleavage furrow in response to a non-homogenous electric field being induced in the dividing cells. The non-homogenous electric field produces an increased density electric field in the region of the cleavage furrow. The movement of the polarizable intracellular members towards the cleavage furrow causes the break down thereof which results in destruction of the dividing cells, while the non-dividing cells of the living tissue remain intact.

Title: Polymer elecrolyte fuel cell
Inventor: KUSAKABE HIROKI
IPC: H01M8/24
Filed: 2002-09-06
Abstract: End plates, as constituting elements in a fuel cell, are conventionally made by cutting metal plates. Therefore, they have problems in that it is difficult to reduce their cost, and they are inconveniently heavy, and that they are likely to be corroded by supplied gases and cooling water since they contact such gases and water at inside surfaces of manifold holes of the metal end plates. According to the present invention, the end plates are made of a resin-dominant material, more preferably by injection-molding such material, so that it becomes possible to reduce the cost and weight of the end plates, and the corrosion resistance can be greatly improved by insert-molding each of current collecting plates in each of the end plates in such a manner as for the end plate material to extend into an inside surface of a hole, to be a manifold hole, of each current collecting plate.

Abstract: To provide a multi-valued FSK communication method and a multi-valued FSK communication apparatus having a simplified circuit configuration for receiving a multi-valued FSK packet, (Solving Means) A transmitter side transmits a packet including a synchronization signal part using the maximum value and the minimum value of multi-valued FSK and a payload part using all values of multi-valued FSK. A receiver side receives the packet, and a reception circuit 3 forms an analog demodulation signal 5da by demodulating a reception signal and a binary signal 9b by binarizing the analog demodulation signal Sdm. These signals Sda and Sb are supplied to a received data processing unit 23 of a baseband signal processor 12. The received data processing unit 23 establishes synchronization based on the binary signal Sb. Also, after synchronization is established, a reference value used for converting a digital demodulation signal to a multi-valued digital signal is corrected based on the digital demodulation signal Sdd, which corresponds to a synchronization signal part, generated by A/D-converting the analog demodulation signal Sda.

Abstract: A new method of sorting railroad cars in yards is presented, whereby outbound trains are built in proper standing order for departure directly on classification tracks, using a continuously sustainable multi-stage sorting process. During this process, cars are easily separated based on priority or according to their delivery time commitments, so connections of cars needing to go on a specific train can be protected. During second stage sorting operations, railcars may be inspected or repaired while they await outbound connections on classification tracks, effectively utilizing otherwise idle time and resulting in considerable savings in time required for railcars to pass through the yard. The need for a separate departure yard, along with the bottleneck "flat" switching operation at the departure end of the classification yard, is also eliminated. This sorting process may be implemented in a traditional rail yard setting, but it will yield even more benefit if accomplished in one of the specialized facility designs shown in the drawing figures.
