Patent CA-2302102-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DICKMANN NORBERT
IPC: G01R35/00
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: Procedure for calibrating a jitter generator, wherein the linearity can be traced back to national standards over the ranges of the jitter amplitudes generated by the fitter generator, in which a ramp modulation signal (Sm) is routed to the jitter generator as a function of time, and the error of the fitter generator is determined as a function of the rise in the modulation signal from the frequency shift between the unmodulated output signal and output signal phase-modulated by the jitter generator. The device for executing the procedure encompasses a function generator for generating a modulation signal, whose output is connected with the input of a jitter generator, and a frequency meter connected with the output of the jitter generator for frequency shift display and comparison. The invention is a simple calibration method for tracing jitter back to national standards, wherein the principle-related problems and disadvantages to previously known procedures relative to outlay, flexibility in measuring point selection and traceability are avoided. The invention also eliminates restrictions in the generation of higher jitter amplitudes.
Patent CA-2304334-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VERBAUWHEDE INGRID
IPC: G06F7/52
Filed: 1998-10-22
Abstract: A multiplier architecture (Fig. 5) in accordance with the present invention provides increased operating speed, and yet maintains regularity in its structure (Figs. 3, 12 or 13) in order to achieve a small floor plan (Fig. 4) when reduced to silicon. A Hekstra-type multiplier is modified by replacing many of the full adders circuits (F) with compressor circuits (C; Figs. 8-11) in a manner that preserves the balance of the signal delays between the various propagation paths through the summing stages (SA, MS). The result is an architecture having a regular layout that greatly facilitates its implementation in silicon.

Title: Method and apparatus for remotely controlling motor vehicles
Inventor: MARKLE BRYAN E
IPC: B60R25/00
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: In the Police Chase Eliminator (PCEL), a targeted vehicle being pursued through traffic may be apprehended by first identifying vehicles in the vicinity of the targeted vehicle, following the targeted vehicle until it is the only vehicle remaining of the originally identified vehicles, and then apprehending the targeted vehicle.  This process may also be carrier out by first identifying a select group of vehicles using vehicle descriptor limitations. The system for remotely controlling a targeted vehicle comprises a control unit which would normally be located in a police car and vehicle modules which are installed in motor vehicles. The control unit transmits activate commands to the vehicle modules which respond by either transmitting back a visual signal or an electronic signal. The control unit may also transmit control commands to the vehicle modules to control the operation of the vehicle. The activate control commands may include a vehicle "Find" command and/or a vehicle "Flash" command. The vehicle "Find" command seeks an electronic response identifying a vehicle by it descriptors which may include vehicle VIN, vehicle type, vehicle color and vehicle make.  The vehicle "Flash" command initiates a visual indicator response from the vehicle such as the operation of its four-way flashers. The control commands include, a vehicle "Slow" command for causing the vehicle to slow down, a vehicle "Stop" command for causing the vehicle to stop and a vehicle "Reset" command for resetting the vehicle module.

Title: Expert system
Inventor: MACKAY ROBIN
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: An expert system and a method of providing automated advice are described. The system is regularly updated by advice (or diagnosis, recommendation etc.) given by practitioners in the relevant field. The combination of the underlying facts and the consequent (human) advice is used to update a ruleset that is then used to provide automated advice. An example of financial advice is given. A database contains the details for the customers of a financial institution together with advice and recommendations given previously by the institution's human advisors. This database is used to derive a ruleset which is then applied to a subsequent customer's details in an automated manner, possibly at the user's own PC via the World Wide Web. Frequent updating using data from the human advisors' work means that the database (and hence the ruleset) are kept up to date.      Consistent advice can thus be provided with minimum human interaction.
