Patent CA-2202517-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CADAMBI SUDARSHAN BALA
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 1995-10-31
Abstract: Circuitry and complementary logic are provided to a bus controller (14), a number of 1:n bus signal distributor (18), and a number of bus interfaces (22) of a hierarchical serial bus assembly for the bus controller to dynamically detect and manage the interconnection topology of the serial bus elements. The serial bus assembly is used to serially interface a number of isochronous and asynchronous peripherals to the system unit of a computer system. These circuitry and complementary logic support a hierarchical view of the serial bus elements (16), logically dividing the hierarchy into multiple tiers. This logical view of the serial bus elements is used by the bus controller to detect the presence of interconnected serial bus elements and the functions of the bus agents, i.e. the system unit and the interconnected peripheral, as well as assignment of addresses to the serial bus elements and the functions, at power on, reset, and during operation when serial bus elements are hot attached to or detached from the serial bus assembly.

Title: Error detection and recovery for high rate isochronous data in mpeg-2 data streams
Inventor: MORONEY PAUL
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 1997-05-08
Abstract: Error recovery is provided for isochronous data ("isodata") obtained from a data stream. Isodata transport packets are monitored to locate isodata presentation time stamps (PTSs). The presentation of isodata from a buffer is synchronized to a system time clock (STC) using timing information derived from the PTSs. Discontinuity errors between said isodata transport packets are identified and, if a discontinuity of no more than one packet is identified, a write pointer of the buffer is advanced by a suitable number of bits to compensate for the discontinuity, while maintaining the synchronization of the presentation with respect to the STC. Additional error detection and recovery techniques are disclosed, including the maintenance of a presentation unit counter, the use of a PTS extension and PTS offset to verify output timing, the provision of a pair of PTS pointers verifying correct output data timing, the use of a packet elementary stream (PES) count to detect lost data in the transport stream, and the detection and discarding of packets designated as encrypted after any decryption should have already been completed.

Patent CA-2210696-A1 (CA)
Title: Process for producing epoxides using aromatic peroxycarboxylic acids
Inventor: SCHNURR WERNER
IPC: C07D301/14
Filed: 1996-02-10
Abstract: The invention concerns the production of epoxides from olefins using aromatic peroxycarboxylic acids. Following epoxidisation (step A), the aromatic carboxylic acids thereby produced are separated from the epoxides and catalytically hydrated (step B) to form the corresponding aromatic aldehydes which are then oxidised (step C) with oxygen or with an oxygen-containing gas mixture to form again the aromatic peroxycarboxylic acids which can be used again to produce the epoxides.
Patent CA-2210765-A1 (CA)
Title: Algebraic codebook with signal-selected pulse amplitudes for fast coding of speech
Inventor: LAFLAMME CLAUDE
IPC: G10L19/125
Filed: 1996-02-02
Abstract: A codebook is searched in view of encoding a sound signal. This codebook consists of a set of pulse amplitude/position combinations each defining L different positions and comprising both zero-amplitude pulses and non-zero-amplitude pulses assigned to respective positions p = 1, 2, ...L of the combination, wherein each non-zero-amplitude pulse assumes at least one of q possible amplitudes. To reduce the search complexity, a subset of pulse amplitude/position combinations from the codebook is pre-selected in relation to the sound signal, and only this subset of combinations is searched. The preselection of the subset of combinations consists of pre-establishing, in relation to the sound signal, a function Sp between the respective positions p = 1, 2, ...L and the q possible amplitudes, the search being limited to the combinations of the codebook having non-zero-amplitude pulses which respect the pre-established function. The function can be pre-established by preassigning one of the q possible amplitudes to each position p, the preestablished function being respected when the non-zero-amplitude pulses of a combination each have an amplitude equal to the amplitude Sp pre-assigned to the position p of that pulse.

Title: Catheter tip mold and cut process
Inventor: CHANG JOSEPH J
IPC: A61M25/16
Filed: 1997-12-30
Abstract: The disclosed invention comprises a two step process for forming the tip of a catheter. In the first process a tapered catheter tip is molded by placing a tubular catheter over a mandrel and inserting the mandrel and catheter assembly into a mold having an inner mold surface. The molded catheter with flash is thereafter removed from the mold and the mandrel removed from the catheter. The catheter and flash are inserted into a jig which defines an opening through which the flash extends.       The opening is defined by a cutting surface and the flash extends above such cutting surface. A cutter is then moved along the cutting surface in order to severe the flash at precisely the appropriate point along the catheter length to leave a formed trimmed catheter. The catheter is thereafter removed from the jig for further processing.

Title: Anchoring apparatus and method
Inventor: BRUCE PETER
IPC: B63B21/26
Filed: 1996-07-22
Abstract: A drag embedment normal load anchor (2) (referred to as a Denla) comprises a fluke (4) with a shank (5) pivotally attached thereto, the shank (5) including an anchor cable attachment point (6) and control or restraint means (12, 14, 18, 19, 21) whereby the shank (6) can be set such that the cable attachment point (6) can lie selectively in first (9) second (11) and third (12) directions relative to the fluke controid (10), said directions providing three fluke centroid angles (.alpha., .beta. and .theta.) respectively with the fluke forward direction (F). The Denla (2) is part of an anchoring apparatus (1) including a rear drogue line (3) serving to orientate the anchor correctly at the sea bed without the need for a separate pendant line. In operation, the Denla (2) is embedded by pulling on an anchor cable (7) with the first fluke centroid angle .alpha. present; when the desired horizontal anchor loading is achieved, the shank (3) is moved to the second larger centroid angle .beta. and the anchor swung back until the fluke forward direction (F) is inclined upwardly, this position constituting the normal load anchoring position. For Denla retrieval, the shank (5) is swung forwardly to occupy the smaller third fluke centroid angle .theta., and the anchor pulled upwardly in the inclined fluke forward direction (F). The restraint/control means are preferably located in a grease filled housing (40) for protection and a further fluke centroid angle lower than the first centroid angle can be provided for the shank (5) to ensure satisfactory initial burying of the anchor. The invention enables setting of the Denla (2) and also retrieval using a single line i.e. the anchor line (7).
