Patent CA-2356566-A1 (CA)
Title: Interface pallet system
Inventor: WELLS JAMES STERLING
IPC: B64D9/00
Filed: 2001-09-05
Abstract: A pallet interface system for supporting a Container Roll in/Out Platform (CROP), flatrack or ISO container within an aircraft, such as a C-17 aircraft. The interface system includes two independent, identical interface pallets which are coupled together by flexible cables. The cables have lengths which enable the two interface pallets to be spaced apart a precise distance so as to be able to support a CROP, flatrack or ISO container. The interface pallets are of small enough dimensions and weight such that same can be manipulated by one or more individuals, thereby obviating the need for a crane to be employed to lift the load onto the pallets before the loading process can begin. Each pallet has a plurality of ISO locking assemblies which allow a CROP, flatrack or ISO container to be locked thereto. Each pallet also has a 463L cargo system edge structure which permits it to be locked to the rails within the C-17 aircraft. The pallet interface system also enables combat offloads and permits cargo supporting platforms to be transported to small, austere airfields where cranes and other large material handling equipment are not available. The pallet interface system can also accommodate different lengths of flatracks, ISO containers, etc., with only minor modifications to the lengths of the cables being required, and is adaptable to handle cargo supporting platforms having varying widths.

Title: Improved bi-cell chevrons detection color registration system for color printing
Inventor: BORTON MICHAEL D
IPC: G03G15/01
Filed: 2001-11-27
Abstract: In color printing with a color registration system for the registration of plural color images on an image bearing surface, such as a photoreceptor belt of a color printer, chevron shaped registration marks are imaged on the image bearing surface, which registration marks correspond to the color images and are sensed by a registration marks sensor as the image bearing surface moves in its process direction. The registration marks sensor has chevron shaped optical sensing areas provided by a matching pair of spaced apart elongated bi-cell detectors in a generally chevron shaped pattern. Each of these spaced apart elongated bi-cell detectors has a parallelogram shaped optical sensing area. That parallelogram shaped sensing area is defined by elongated parallelogram sides extending at the same angle as one leg of the chevron shaped registration marks, and parallelogram ends which are parallel to the process direction, so as to provide higher color registration accuracy.

Title: Method and apparatus for locating gps equipped wireless devices operating in analog mode
Inventor: SOLIMAN SAMIR S
IPC: G01S5/00
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: An apparatus and method for locating a remote station operating in analog mode, and that may not have a sense of network time, using an inverted GPS approach. The invention also enables remote stations operating in analog mode that do not know true GPS time to determine their own location. A time stamp, reflecting the approximate time a satellite range measurement is made, is assigned to the measurement at either the remote station or elsewhere in the network. The difference between true GPS network time and the measurement time is treated as a variable "error" in measurement, the length of which is unknown. This variable error is determined and used in determining the physical location of the remote station.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer de manière automatique la qualité de carcasses animales, par traitement optique d'images, notamment de porcs venant d'être abattus. Comparativement aux procédés connus, ce procédé permet de parvenir à une meilleure précision d'estimation reproductible, sur laquelle des erreurs intervenant dans le processus de séparation de l'animal abattu et qui sont dues au fait que la détection d'images n'intervient pas absolument perpendiculairement au plan de séparation, ne peuvent influer que de manière peu significative. A cet effet, il est prévu d'évaluer de manière photogrammétrique une prise optique de la moitié de carcasse animale dans le plan de séparation, dans la zone du jambon et de la longe. Les points de référence marquants retenus dans la zone sélectionnée sont : la colonne vertébrale (3), l'os de jointoiement du bassin (2), l'épaisseur de couenne la plus mince sur le muscle grand fessier (16) et les contours de la couenne arrière (6; 12). La proportion de viande maigre prépondérante pour estimer la qualité est calculée par addition de sections partielles, perpendiculaires au cours linéaire du canal médullaire arrière, et dont le rapport mutuel est établi, tout en tenant compte de constantes résultant de calculs de régression pour chaque terme, ainsi que d'une constante de base.

Patent CA-2372735-A1 (CA)
Title: Assay reagent
Inventor: LEWINGTON JAY
IPC: C12Q1/66
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: Assays for detecting potentially toxicdanalytes utilize a preparation of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells which have signal-generating metabolic activity. The sensitivity of such assays is significantly improved by the employment of a particulate solid-phase adsorbent e.g. silica gel, which can be preliminarily mixed either with the suspected toxic analyte or with the cellular reagent. It is found that the presence of either the adsorbent-analyte combination or the adsorbent-cellular reagent combination results in an amplification of the decrease of the intensity of the generated signal, thereby improving the detection capability of the assay, particularly with respect to low concentrations of toxicants.

IPC: H03M3/04
Filed: 2000-06-12
Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator (325) having a downconverter mixer circuit (30) in t he forward path of the modulator circuit and an upconverter mixer (38) in the feedback path of the modulator. The modulator (325) consists of a loop filte r having two components, a bandpass filter (28) before the downconverter (30) and a low-pass filter (32, 33) after the down-converter. The mixer circuits can be implemented as single-sideband rejection mixers with in-phase and quadrature paths. In such a modulator, the loop filter component after the quadrature mixer include two low-pass filters (32, 33), one for the in-phase  forward path and another for the quadrature forward path. The feedback also has two paths, which are recombined in the quadrature upconverter (38) locat ed prior to the DAC (50) which produces a real, analog signal (23) to be fed ba ck to the input. Multiple arrangements of this type of modulator can be implemented, including arrangements having multiple intermediate feedback paths to both the baseband low-pass filter and the bandpass loop filter sections.
