Abstract: A system and method for manually removably locking a paper handling module to a reproduction apparatus with greatly reduced manual force, wherein the reproduction apparatus and the paper handling module have respective sheet feed openings which are operatively aligned for sheet feeding therebetween when the module is so locked to the reproduction apparatus in a locking position and wherein the paper handling module has a weight which is undesirable for manual lifting into the locking position. The module is supported on an integral module transporting system to be freely movable in any horizontal direction into an initial docking position closely adjacent to the reproduction apparatus. Then, slightly vertically lifting at least one side of the module with only a small vertical manual lifting force while most of the weight of the module is lifted with an automatic weight lifting system, moving the module towards the locking position, and then removing the small vertical manual lifting force from the module, to drop and lock the module to the reproduction apparatus. The automatic weight lifting may be provided by vertically movably spring loading at least one side of the module on the module transporting system.

Title: Video compression using a signal transmission chain comprising an information bus linking encoders and decoders
Inventor: KNEE MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 1995-06-19
Granted: 2007-03-27
Abstract: An MPEG-2 or other compressed video stream (CP) can be manipulated as separate information bus (IB) and coefficient (CP*) streams. The information bus stream (IB) contains motion vector information but also information derived from a previous decoding operation (14, 18) for use in a subsequent coding operation (22). Processing in the coefficient domain enables bit rate conversion without decoding to the pixel level and also simplifies the combination of MPEG  layers.

Title: Fumonisin-detoxifying enzymes
Inventor: WANG XUN
IPC: A01N63/50
Filed: 1995-08-11
Granted: 2001-02-27
Abstract: Methods for identifying organisms capable of degrading fumonisin. Fumonisin can be incorporated into culture medium for selection of organisms resistant to fumonisin and/or capable of growing on fumonisin as a sole carbon source.  Using this method, several organisms have been identified. These organisms can be used to isolate the enzyme and the gene responsible for conferring fumonisin-resistance. The gene can be cloned and inserted into a suitable expression vector so that the protein can be further characterized.  Additionally, the DNA encoding for fumonisin-resistance can be used to transform plant cells normally susceptible to Fusarium or other toxin-producing fungus infection. Plants can be regenerated from the transformed plant cells. In this way, a transgenic plant can be produced with the capability of degrading fumonisin, as well as with the capability of producing the degrading enzymes. Methods for detoxification in grain processing and in animal feed and rumen microbes are also disclosed.

Granted: 2002-11-12
Abstract: Repeat fixation for medical procedures is accomplished using a non-invasive locator, specifically a bite plate (26). The bite plate (26) has at least three fiducial markers (38) on it. The fiducial markers (38) may be LEDs, radiopaque markers for angiography or computerized tomography (CT) imaging or magnetic resonance markers for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. By detecting the position of the markers (38), the position of features within the patient (14) (such as a brain tumor or other intracranial target to which radiation is to be applied) can be determined with great precision. Since the bite plate (26) has been molded to uniquely fit to the patient's teeth, it may be removed after an initial imaging of the patient (14). The bite plate (26) may then be re-attached one or more times to the teeth and the location of the features will be in a known position relative to the sensed markers.

Patent CA-2227670-C (CA)

IPC: B23K11/24
Filed: 1998-01-21
Granted: 2001-02-06
Abstract: Before a deterioration of a secondary current sensor is detected, a controller effects a feedback control process based on a secondary current from the secondary winding of a welding transformer which is energized by an inverter, for thereby controlling a welding current with a high degree of accuracy, e.g., an accuracy level of ~ 1 %.  At the same time, it is monitored whether a detected value of a primary current from the primary winding of the welding transformer, which is detected by a primary current sensor, exceeds a predetermined allowable range with respect to a reference value of the primary current.  If the detected value of the primary current exceeds the predetermined allowable range, then it is decided that the secondary current sensor is deteriorated.  When the secondary current sensor is deteriorated, the controller switches from the feedback  control process based on the secondary current to a feedback control process based on the primary current to control the welding current with a certain degree of accuracy, e.g., an accuracy level of ~ 3 %, without interrupting the welding process.

Title: Subscriber reward method
Inventor: HENNESSY LINDA
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 1998-03-25
Granted: 2000-10-10
Abstract: A subscriber (12) of a communications carrier is rewarded upon meeting certain criterion. Upon receipt of the subscriber's call, the carrier accesses a profile for the subscriber indicative of the subscriber's relationship with the carrier. Based on the information in the profile, as well as any external criterion the carrier may impose, the carrier determines whether the subscriber is eligible for a reward, and if so, then provides an announcement of the reward during the call. The carrier then provides the reward, which may be a reward of communications of service.

Title: Optical amplifier designs for multichannel fiber optic communication networks
Inventor: MURPHY EDWARD FRANCIS
IPC: H04B10/17
Filed: 1998-03-30
Granted: 2001-10-16
Abstract: A multichannel fiber optic communication network incorporates multichannel fiber optical amplifiers having different functions but designed to use substantially identical gain flattening filters. This is achieved by designing the amplifiers to have total insertion losses such that their respective internal gains (internal gain = net gain + total insertion loss) are substantially the same, most preferably within 1 dB.
Patent CA-2238702-C (CA)
Inventor: ZELINSKI ELGIN
IPC: F16H7/14
Filed: 1998-05-27
Granted: 2002-11-05
Abstract: An apparatus for use with motor-driven assemblies is described.  The motor-driven assembly comprises a motor, a pulley driven by the motor, a driven element and a belt drive connecting the pulley and the driven element.   The apparatus comprises a motor base and a pivot base. The motor is arranged on the motor base such that, due to the positioning of its mass, the motor will pivot away from the drive element. However, pivoting in this direction is opposed by the belt drive. Thus, as the belt drive tension reduces, the motor will pivot away from the drive element, thereby tightening the belt. A one-way restraining means connecting the pivot base and the motor base prevents the motor from pivoting back toward the drive element, thereby keeping the belt drive taut and retaining drive design expectations.
