Patent CA-2357112-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GLICK JAMES A
IPC: B29K67/00
Filed: 2001-09-10
Abstract: Packaging and wrapping material for protecting products includes an outer layer comprising a film having a predetermined shrink response in response to heat applied to the film and which, when shrunk and then cooled, forms a shell sufficiently rigid to be self supporting and shape retaining when removed from the article. The film is intermittently bonded to a nonwoven fabric so that the nonwoven and film move relative to one another when the film is shrunk. The nonwoven separates the product from the film (which may be abrasive), and also absorbs impact forces applied to the shell, to prevent damage to the product. The material is formed into a bag into which the product is place or which is installed aver the product. The bag is then shrunk around the product. The bag may be evacuated before being sealed and shrunk to prevent residua! moisture from damaging the product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to estimation of the distance between stations that communicate in a communication system over a radio interface. In the system at least one of the stations transmits signal bursts in time slots in accordance with a timing structure and at least one station receives the signal bursts. The method comprises determination of a first timing of a signal burst received at the receiving station, the first timing being associated with the first component of the received signal burst that meets a predefined condition. A second timing of the received signal burst is also determined for use in adjustment of internal timing of the receiving station for receiving and/or transmitting further signal bursts from and/or to the transmitting station. A timing offset is also determined between the stations. The distance between the stations is estimated based on the timing offset and the first timing of the received signal burst.

Title: Processing network address identifiers
Inventor: O'NEILL ALAN WILLIAM
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-03-26
Abstract: The invention provides a method, data processing system and software for generating address identifier for use in a communications network. The method comprises the step of processing a first address identifier constructed in accordance with a first communications protocol; and the step of constructing a second address identifier, from said first identifier, in accordance with a second communications protocol. The first communications protocol may be protocol Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and the second communications Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The invention enables messages to be sent to a SIP URL derived from an SMTP email URL. In the event that the SIP URL is invalid, or unregistered the SIP message is diverted from a SIP defined destination URL address identifier to a corresponding SMTP defined destination URL address identifier for the same user or end system. In this way users may send SIP messages to SMTP address identifiers using the SMTP network protocol and infrastructure (416) and SMTP messages to SIP address identifiers using the SIP network protocol and infrastructure (408, 410, 412).
