Patent CA-2581118-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KIDMOSE PREBEN
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2004-10-19
Abstract: A directional hearing aid (100) comprising at least two microphones (201, 202) has means (200) for matching differences in amplitude and phase between the two microphones (201, 202). The microphone matching means (200) compare differences between measured transfer functions of the microphone signal paths at a number of frequencies during use of the hearing aid (100), compares the differences to differences at similar frequencies in a model of the transfer functions of the microphone signal paths, derives a set of parameters based on the comparison, and adjusts the parameters in order to minimize the difference in level differences between the model and the microphones (201, 202). The model is then used to match the microphones (201, 202) mutually by applying appropriate control parameters (103, 104, 105, 106) to an adaptive matching filter (108) carrying one of the microphone signals.

Abstract: There is provided a game card, game card system, game card reader and method of authentication and fraud prevention. Machine-readable codes are provided on game cards.  The code on a game card is read by a game card reader employing two code readers. One code reader uses visible light to read the code, or in the alternative to merely detect the presence of the code. The other code reader uses infrared to read the code. A  fraudulent game card, copied or reproduced by photocopiers, scanners and digital cameras available to the general public, is detected based on the absence of a code reading from the second code reader. The presence of code information on a game card that is detectable using visible light, also indicates that the game card is not authentic.

Patent CA-2598128-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SORAN TIMOTHY F
IPC: B22F1/10
Filed: 2005-11-16
Abstract: The application relates to the problem of alloying a melt, preferably a titanium melt, with oxygen by adding formed articles such as pellets containing a master alloy such as Ti02. The articles should fully and homogeneously disperse in the melt, while the carbon content of the melt should be kept below an allowable maximum, preferably below 0.04 wt. %. The formed article may also comprise iron or palladium. To solve this problem, the formed article consists of 70-82wt. % of a master alloy an 18-30wt. % of a high-carbon organic polymer such as ethylene vinyl acetate or a low density polyethylene. The homogeneous dispersion is achieved e.g. by the formed articles having a similar size as the other raw feed materials which are added to the melt.

Title: Dimmer for use with a three-way switch
Inventor: RUSSIKESH KUMAR
IPC: H05B41/36
Filed: 2006-05-02
Abstract: A smart dimmer for controlling the intensity of a lighting load from a source of AC power is operable to replace one of the three-way switches in a standard three-way lighting system without the need to replace the other three-way switch with a unique accessory switch. A simple rewiring is needed in the wallbox of the remaining three-way switch. In the resulting three-way lighting system, the smart dimmer is always coupled between the lighting load and the source and the remaining three-way switch is coupled between either of the load terminals of the dimmer and an accessory terminal of the dimmer. The remaining three-way switch acts to either couple or decouple an AC voltage from the accessory terminal. The smart dimmer is operable to detect a change in the state at the accessory termnal and toggle the lighting load on or off as a result of the change in state.
