Title: Optical projection and tracking system for retinal prosthesis
Inventor: PALANKER DANIEL V
IPC: A61F9/00
Filed: 2004-09-10
Abstract: A system having a retinal prosthesis inside a mammalian eye and an external imaging unit outside the eye is provided. The external imaging unit includes an imager which receives an input optical image and a display which provides a processed optical image derived from the input optical image as an input to the eye. The external imaging unit also includes a tracking subsystem, to determine the position of the retinal prosthesis relative to the display. The external imaging unit includes an image processor, which performs spatial processing dependent on the position of the retinal prosthesis relative to the display. Thus the processed image provided to the eye is spatially processed according to the position of the retinal prosthesis. The image processor can perform other kinds of image processing as well (e.g., temporal image processing). An external imaging unit. for use in such a system is also provided.

IPC: H04Q9/00
Filed: 2006-04-12
Abstract: There is provided a setting apparatus for a remote monitoring and controlling system which can allow decrease in size of a portable unit. The setting apparatus includes a stationary unit 1 fixed to an installation surface and a portable unit 2 detachably attached to the stationary unit 1. A battery receiving portion 41c for receiving a battery is protruded backwardly from the rear surface of the portable unit 2. By receiving the battery receiving portion 41c of the portable unit 2 in a reception concave portion 32a of the stationary unit 1 and engaging a coupling convex portion 32g with a coupling concave portion 42d of the battery receiving portion 41c, the portable unit 2 is detachably attached to the stationary unit 1. Since the coupling concave portion 41d for coupling to the stationary unit 1 is formed in the battery receiving portion 41c of the portable unit 2, the portable unit 2 has a decreased size, compared with a case that the portion coupled to the stationary unit 1 is provided independent of the battery receiving portion 41c.

Patent CA-2545220-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HASKELL PHILIP EDWARD
IPC: H01Q3/40
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: A phased array antenna system with controllable electrical tilt generates two signals V2a and V2b with variable relative delay therebetween. The signals are converted into antenna element drive signals by a power distribution network (100). The network (100) splits each of the two signals V2a and V2b into three signal components. Pairs of components of different signals are input to respective (180) hybrid coupling devices (hybrids) (110, 112 and 114), which provide vector sums and differences of their inputs and act as phase-to-power converters. Their outputs are distributed between further (180) hybrids (116, 118 and 120), which act as power-to-phase converters and provide antenna element drive signals with phase varying both with element array position and also with the variable relative delay between the two signals V2a and V2b.  Antenna electrical tilt is therefore controllable by altering a single relative delay.

Title: Golfclub head with dual durometer face insert
Inventor: BRYANT LESLIE J
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 2006-07-18
Abstract: A golf club head includes a face insert that comprises an insert core made of a relatively hard (high durometer) durable polymer material that is surrounded on at least its rear and side surfaces by an insert shell made of a second softer (lower durometer) polymer material. The insert shell allows the harder insert core to "float" within a cavity in the club head while being surrounded on all sides by the softer insert shell. This arrangement of the insert core and the insert shell thus provides the advantages of a durable impact surface for desirable acoustic feedback while at the same time resulting in desirable feel due to the softer insert shell surrounding the harder insert core.
Patent CA-2555723-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus and method of injection molding
Inventor: AKASAKA KOJI
IPC: B29C45/17
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: An injection molded article (8) with which a sheet-like material (5, 9) such as a decorative sheet is integrated is manufactured without causing damage to the sheet-like material (5, 9). The molten resin (25) injected into a mold cavity (19a) passes smoothly a peripheral edge (A) of a mold cavity (19a) and flows into a groove portion (17b) without accumulating in the vicinity of the peripheral edge (A).      When cooling the molten resin (25, 25a), the temperature of the molten resin (25) filled in the groove (17b) decreases more quickly than the temperature of the molten resin (25a) in the mold cavity (19a), because the volume capacity of the groove portion (17b) is smaller than the volume capacity of the mold cavity (19a). As a result, the viscosity of the molten resin (25a) lying in the groove portion (17b) and in the vicinity of the peripheral edge (A) of the mold cavity (19a) is increased rapidly. Since the increased viscosity of the molten resin (25a) prevents a further volume of the molten resin (25) from flowing into the groove portion (17b) from the mold cavity (19a), the sheet-like material (5, 9) lying in the vicinity of the peripheral edge (A) comes to be covered by the resinous material (25, 25a) of diminished fluidity and protected against exposure to heat and/or pressure of the molten resin (25).

Title: Unified directory and presence system for universal access to telecommunications services
Inventor: SIMONGINI ALBERTO
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2006-11-14
Abstract: A subscriber profile access management system for a telecommunications service provider or telecommunications operator provides technical solutions to providing a single point of access to telecommunications subscriber profile information. As the products and services offered by the service provider grow, and given the many different access mechanisms through which a subscriber connects to services, the single point of access eliminates the inefficient proliferation of custom interfaces between the many support systems and applications which need access to subscriber profile information. The single point of access provides a universal and personalized access to telecommunications services. Access may be made to the subscriber profile regardless of the particular type of access mechanism (e.g., WiFi, or DSL access), while the personalized access allows services to be customized based upon static and dynamically maintained information in the subscriber profile.

Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus that exhibits a shorter time period required until a start of communication and causes the throughput in the wireless communication system to be less reduced. In this apparatus, when the number, N, of retransmissions notified by a response determining part (107) is zero, a subchannel-to-be-used selecting part (108) selects a subchannel, among others, which exhibits the highest order one of the reception qualities of the subchannels notified by a reception quality determining part (106), and then notifies the selected subchannel to a subchannel allocating part (113). When the notified number, N, of retransmissions is one or more, the response determining part (107) selects a subchannel which exhibits the N-th lower order reception quality than the highest order reception quality, based on the reception qualities of the subchannels notified by the reception quality determining part (106) for a pilot signal received after a transmission of the latest access request signal, and then notifies the selected subchannel to the subchannel allocating part (113).
