Patent CA-2153700-C (CA)
Inventor: WHEATLEY CHARLES E III
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1994-11-22
Granted: 2003-01-21
Abstract: The process of the present invention enables a communication link to have a higher data rate input signal while maintaining a constant data rate output signal. The method first convolutionally encodes the input data signal to produce a plurality of convolutionally encoded signals. Each of the convolutionally encoded signals are comprised of a plurality of data symbols.  Each data symbol is repeated a predetermined number of times to produce a code repetition data sequence at a predetermined and fixed rate. The data sequence is then punctured such that symbols in predetermined locations of the data sequence are deleted thus generating a data sequence at a predetermined and fixed rate which is lower than that of the original data sequence. The encoded signals with the repeated data symbols are multiplexed to produce a data sequence.

Patent CA-2193230-C (CA)
Inventor: TANZAWA HIROSHI
IPC: A01G31/00
Filed: 1995-06-20
Granted: 2009-03-24
Abstract: La présente invention consiste à faire croître ou à régénérer une plante tout en bloquant la prolifération des bactéries et champignons à l'aide d'un support contenant un milieu de culture et une substance à haut poids moléculaire. Ledit milieu de culture est ainsi absorbé dans une proportion se situant entre 10 % et 100 % par rapport à l'absorption du milieu de culture d'équilibre par une structure de réseau se composant d'une substance de poids moléculaire élevé. Les taux de croissance et le métabolisme des bactéries et des champignons sont tellement supérieurs à ceux des plantes que les bactéries et champignons ont besoin de considérablement plus de nutriments d'apport que les tissus de la plante(eau et sucre notamment en provenance du milieu de culture). Le milieu de culture absorbé dans la structure de réseau est donc moins facilement accessible aux bactéries et champignons dont l'activité métabolique est supérieure à ce qu'elle serait en milieu de culture habituel. Par contre, ce milieu de culture est suffisant pour les tissus de plantes dont l'activité métabolique est aussi basse qu'en milieu de culture liquide habituel. Il est ainsi possible de bloquer sensiblement la croissance des bactéries et champignons sans affecter de façon notable la croissante ou la régénération de la plante.

Title: Programmable membrane switch input/output system
Inventor: STRUTHERS RICHARD JOHN
IPC: G06F3/023
Filed: 1997-06-06
Granted: 2003-01-07
Abstract: A programmable membrane switch input/output system is disclosed.  The system comprises a membrane switch having a matrix layout embedded in a plastic film with a plurality of switches located at specific locations on the film. Output lines from the matrix layout are electrically connectable to a conversion unit which converts the output signals from a first code dependent on the matrix layout and the position of the switches to a second code which is independent of the position of the switches and the matrix layout.  The conversion unit can convert the output signals into a serial code which can be transmitted serially from the conversion unit to a processing device located remotely from the membrane switch. By transferring the output signal serially from the conversion unit to the processing device, the cable can have fewer lines and less space is taken on the processing device for the connection. The conversion unit comprises a microprocessor and a memory unit which stores a conversion table to convert the output signals from the first code to the second code.  The memory means is re-programmable so that the conversion unit can be re-programmed to convert output signals from the first code into a third code, different from the first code and the second code.  The conversion unit can also filter the signal and end key rollover by transmitting only one output signal to the processing  device  in  a  predetermined  time  period.    The conversion unit drives LEDs and seven segment displays on the membrane switch in response to signals received from the processing device to output information.   By locating the conversion means proximate the matrix layout the noise caused by the resistance of the cable is decreased, thereby improving the signal and the reliability of the system.   A method of inputting information from a membrane switch to a processing device by utilizing the conversion unit is also disclosed.
