Title: Antenne mobile a directionnalite controlable dans un reseau de communication mobile
Inventor: POITEVIN PIERRE
IPC: H01Q21/29
Filed: 1997-05-13
Abstract: L'objet de la présente invention est l'utilisation d'une antenne à faisceau dirigeable tel un groupement d'antennes (Phased Array) dans un appareil radio mobile (téléphone ou autre) de façon à pouvoir modifier l'orientation du faisceau principal de l'antenne mobile en direction d'une autre antenne éloignée. Un tel arrangement permettrait d'améliorer le gain de l'antenne et de réduire les effets de la propagation à trajets multiples. Dans le contexte de la téléphonie mobile, l'augmentation du gain de l'antenne mobile permettrait d'améliorer le rapport d'interférence co-canal (Co-channel Interference) et reviendrait à augmenter la portée de l'antenne de la station de base de la cellule, notamment en zone éloignée. La modification de la directionnalité de l'antenne peut s'inscrire dans le cadre des données de gestion d'un réseau cellulaire.

Abstract: Composite and component video equipment frequently requires an external reference signal for synchronization. The use of digital video and audio signals places additional reliance on the reference to avoid buffer management problems, to manage jitter and to maintain a defined relationship between video and audio signals. Color black is the traditionally used external reference signal for analog NTSC and PAL equipment. This standard specifies the use of a color black signal as a reference for all forms of composite and component, or analog, or digital compressed or uncompressed equipment using the system standards described below. The method and apparatus disclosed define synchronization signals to be used as an external reference for equipment using the system standards shown below. The method and apparatus disclosed provide a means to synchronize one, or more, unrelated timing signals using an unrelated timing signal as a reference input. The standard described provides a method of synchronizing unrelated signals such as the timing reference signals used in different television broadcast standards, whether analog or digital in nature.

Abstract: Mon invention " Appareil et processus de stimulation vagino-vulvaire" est un procédé et un appareil qui soulage les chattes en chaleur durant leur période d'oestrus. Elle se rapporte au domaine des objets pour la santé des animaux. Avec cet appareil partiellement inspiré de la forme du pénis d'un chat, durant l'oestrus, on peut stimuler la région vagino-vulvaire d'une chatte afin de l'apaiser en provoquant l'ovulation par le contact répété de l'appareil sur les muqueuses intra-vaginales et particulièrement sur le cervix ce qui engendre une cascade hormonale. Dans le présent mode de réalisation, l'appareil est moulé dans une matière plastique souple afin de ne pas accidentellement blesser l'animal soigné et le manche de l'appareil forme un garde qui empêche une trop grande pénétration. Le stimulus produit par l'appareil engendre une ovulation et un apaisement de la pulsion d'accouplement et calme la chatte de cette tension. Afin d'arriver à  un taux d'hormone suffisant pour libérer tous les ovules, la procédure doit être répétée à  quelques reprises sur un, deux ou trois jours.

IPC: F16C3/02
Filed: 1997-09-15
Abstract: A vibration damping liner for insertion in the bore of a cylindrical shaft has a cylindrical core the exterior of which is corrugated and defined by alternating grooves and upstanding flutes.  The liner has an undeformed flute diameter greater than that of the bore.  All of the flutes are deformed laterally of their length and in the same direction to produce a liner having a deformed flute diameter less than the undeformed flute diameter, but still greater than the diameter of the bore.  As the liner is inserted in the bore, the deformed flutes may deform further inwardly, but once the liner is in the shaft the flutes expand into engagement with the surface of the bore.  The flutes have thereon a coating of material having a coefficient of friction greater than that of the flute-forming material.

Patent CA-2225883-A1 (CA)
Title: Cavitation control for variable displacement hydraulic pumps
Inventor: PETERSON WALTER G
IPC: F04B49/08
Filed: 1997-12-29
Abstract: Cavitation in a variable displacement pump is prevented by applying pump input pressure and a preselected spring force to a first end of a valve spool against countervailing atmospheric pressure applied against a second end of the valve spool wherein the valve spool moves to an open position with respect to an anti-cavitation valve upon the sum of the input pressure and spring pressure decreasing to less than atmospheric pressure. When the anti-cavitation valve opens, pump output pressure is applied through the anti-cavitation valve to a pump displacement control cylinder which decreases pump displacement so as to keep pump input pressure from decreasing to the point of cavitation.
