Patent CA-2107851-A1 (CA)
Title: Multiple-display sign device
Inventor: STRAWBRIDGE JON P
IPC: G09F11/02
Filed: 1993-10-06
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A sign in which multiple scenes are present-ed in sequence is comprised of a plurality of juxta-posed rotationally driven display units that are as-sembled with triangularly-shaped hollow sleeves whose side panels are constituted by transparencies on each of which there is a portion of a different complete scene.  There are adapters on the upper and lower ends of the display units which have bushings for allowing the juxtaposed display units to be journaled for rota-tion on a stationary light transmissive tubes that serves as axles.  The tubes are retained at their low-er ends in a row of equally spaced apart and collinear bores and they are retained at their upper ends by a plate which also has a corresponding row of bores that provide for stabilizing the upper ends of the tubes and for maintaining them in perfect alignment and spacing.  The units are driven rotationally in syn-chronism by means of an electric motor that provides the power input to mechanical elements which interlock all of the display units mechanically to assure that they rotate in and remain in synchronism such that when corresponding panels of the display units, which panels each represent a portion of a scene, are rotat-ed into coplanar and stationary position the scene is formed for visualization.

Patent CA-2125571-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROY RICHARD H
IPC: H04W16/28
Filed: 1992-11-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing the capacity and quality of wireless communication between a plurality of remote users and a base station is disclosed. Using measurements from an array of receiving antennas at the base station, parameters of multiple signals transmitted to the base station from a plurality of users in the same channel are calculated and used to obtain the positions and velocities of the users. The locations and other related signal parameters are used to calculate appropriate spatial demultiplexing strategies, reconstructing the individual transmitted signals from the receiver measurements and reducing interference to acceptable levels. This heretofore unavailable location information is used in solving the hand-off problem. This information is also used to calculate an appropriate spatial multiplexing strategy for simultaneous transmission of signals to users in the same channel. This can be the same as or distinct from the aforementioned receive channel. In combination, the transmit and receive systems establish multiple full-duplex links in the same channel by directively receiving and transmitting signals at the base stations only. This invention can also be implemented at the mobile sites to improve signal quality and to establish point-point communication links between multiple mobile users. Furthermore, implementation of both transmit and receive functions at the base station is not required. A receive-only system base station will still improve received signal quality and therefore capacity in addition to mitigating the hand-off problem.

Inventor: RIM PETER B
IPC: D01F6/62
Filed: 1992-12-22
Abstract: Yarns are prepared by spinning PEN or other semi-crystalline polyester polymers made from similarly rigid monomer combinations to a state of optimum amorphous orientation and crystallinity.  This is accomplished by selection of process par-ameters to form an undrawn polyester yarn of birefringence at least 0.030. The spun yarn is then hot drawn to a total draw ratio of between 1.5/1 and 6.0/1 with the resulting drawn semi-crystalline polyester yarn having Tg greater than 100°C and a melting point elevation at least 8°C. The preferred yarn has a tenacity at least 6.5 g/d; dimensional stability (EASL + Shrinkage) of less than 5 %, and shrinkage 4 % or less. The resulting yarn exhibits surprisingly high modulus and tenacity together with low shrin-kage when compared to prior art yarns.
