Patent CA-2615862-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANGIARDI JOHN R
IPC: F21Y101/00
Filed: 2006-07-20
Abstract: An invention that provides improved means for automatic illumination of a surgical site is disclosed. By way of utilizing a wireless radio-frequency transmitter adapted to transmit a distance signal to a receiver, which provides adjustment, by way of an actuator, of a single light source or an array of light sources, an illuminating field is provided with the further advantage that shadows are minimized. In addition, the transmitter, in one embodiment, is of a small profile and constructed in biocompatible materials.  The device may be either sterilizable for reuse or disposable, thereby allowing packing of the transmitter in a sterile container thereby further allowing placement of the device in, on, or by a surgical site. The present invention also discloses an array of lights that are arrayed more distant from each other than typical and yet provides a focused, intense illumination field with maximal line of sight approach owing to the discrete (recessed) housing of the light sources. Lastly, the recessed housing allows more efficient use of overhead working space.

Inventor: KHANDEKAR AAMOD
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: Techniques for using multiple modulation schemes for a single packet are described. Each data packet is processed and transmitted in up to T blocks, where T > 1. Multiple modulation schemes are used for the T blocks to achieve good performance. A transmitter encodes a data packet to generate code bits. The transmitter then forms a block of code bits with the code bits generated for the packet, determines the modulation scheme to use for the block (e.g., based on a mode/rate selected for the packet), maps the code bits for the block based on the modulation scheme to obtain data symbols, and processes and transmits the block of data symbols to a receiver. The transmitter generates and transmits another block in similar manner until the data packet is decoded correctly or all T blocks have been transmitted. The receiver performs the complementary processing to receive and decode the packet.

Abstract: A system for transferring molten metal from a vessel and into one or more of a ladle, ingot mold, launder, feed die cast machine or other structure is disclosed.  The system includes at least a vessel for containing molten metal, an overflow (or dividing) wall, and a device or structure, such as a molten metal pump, for generating a stream of molten metal. The dividing wall divides the vessel into a first chamber and a second chamber, wherein part of the second chamber has a height H2. The device for generating a stream of molten metal, which is preferably a molten metal pump, is preferably positioned in the first chamber.  When the device operates, it generates a stream of molten metal from the first chamber and into the second chamber. When the level of molten metal in the second chamber exceeds H2, molten metal flows out of the vessel and into another structure, such as into one or more ladles and/or one or more launders.

Title: Systeme de stockage d'egal a egal efficace et fiable
Inventor: LI JIN
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2007-02-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de stockage à codage adaptatif dans lequel est utilisé un codage permettant de compenser les pertes d'informations (ERC) adaptatif qui modifie le nombre de fragments utilisés pour le codage en fonction de la taille du fichier distribué. Le ERC adaptatif peut sensiblement améliorer l'efficacité et la fiabilité d'un système de stockage P2P. Un certain nombre de procédures d'applications de stockage P2P peuvent également être mises en oeuvre. Dans un mode de réalisation, les petits fichiers de données dynamiques sont détournés vers des homologues plus fiables ou même un serveur, alors que les gros fichiers statiques sont stockés en utilisant la capacité de stockage des homologues non fiables. Par ailleurs, pour que le système soit juste, un homologue doit héberger la même quantité de contenu que celle qu'il a stockée dans le réseau P2P. Par conséquent, les homologues non fiables sont autorisés à distribuer moins de données et les homologues fiables sont autorisés à distribuer plus de données. De plus, les fichiers plus petits se voient attribuer un coût de distribution plus élevé et les fichiers plus grands se voient attribuer un coût de distribution moins élevé.
