Patent CA-2501435-A1 (CA)
Title: Preamble detection and data rate control in a umts system
Inventor: GURELLI MEHMET
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2002-11-26
Abstract: A receiver system determines a current preamble threshold and a current preamble metric and determines whether a preamble is detected. If a preamble is detected, the receiver determines whether an earlier preamble has been detected in an earlier time slot having a common time slot interlace index, and resolves multiple detections of a preamble based on at least one of the current preamble and an old preamble thresholds, the current and an old preamble metrics. The receiver decodes data following the selected preamble and determines the CRC of the decoded data. If a CRC failure is detected, the receiver determines a new current preamble threshold. The new current preamble threshold is larger than the current preamble threshold. If the current preamble metric is larger than the new current preamble threshold, the receiver determines the CRC failure as an actual CRC failure, otherwise as a false CRC failure.

Title: Method for testing the error ratio ber of a device according to confidence level, test time and selectivity
Inventor: MAUCKSCH THOMAS
IPC: H04L1/24
Filed: 2004-05-27
Abstract: A method for testing the error ratio BER of a device under test against a specified allowable error ratio comprises the steps: measuring ns samples of the output of the device, thereby detecting ne erroneous samples of these ns samples, defining BER(ne)=ne/ns as the preliminary error ratio and deciding to pass the device, if the preliminary error ratio BER(ne) is smaller than an early pass limit EPL (ne). The early pass limit is constructed by using an empirically or analytically derived distribution for a specific number of devices each having the specified allowable error ratio by separating a specific portion DD of the best devices from the distribution for a specific number of erroneous samples ne and proceeding further with the remaining part of the distribution for an incremented number of erroneous samples.

Patent CA-2513382-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GIBSON WILLIAM C
IPC: F23C9/08
Filed: 2004-01-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus whereby flameless combustion may be precipitated and sustained within the essentially oval combustion chamber of an integrated heater/burner apparatus. The invention provides for an air inlet and fuel source in combination with recirculating flue gas within the apparatus combustion chamber to precipitate and maintain flameless combustion of the combined gases along, and within, a narrowly defined boundary. Air is introduced to the oval combustion chamber via an air inlet. Fuel gas is combined with recirculating flue gases with continued heating of the recirculating flue gas, introduced air or both flue gas and air, until the temperature at the boundary interface between the air and inerted fuel gas exceeds an auto ignition temperature of the boundary interface components. A  fuel gas stream absent a flamed portion thereof is combined with the recirculating flue gas and then allowed to diffuse with the air stream in a measure sufficient to sustain flameless combustion and chamber operational temperature of generally between 1500~F and 1900~F. The essentially oval configuration of the integrated heater/burner allows for increased mass and circulation rates beyond that possible with heaters of the contemporary art and as a consequence thereof provides for uniform, complete and cooler combustion resulting in low NOx emissions.

Patent CA-2539928-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCMORRIS DENNIS L
IPC: B65G53/00
Filed: 2006-03-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for discharging material at spaced intervals each provide a conveying tube and a conveying mechanism for moving material from a first end of the tube toward a second opposite end. Discharge openings are provided spaced along the tube at different heights thereon. Openings near the first end are at a higher elevation on the tube than those near the second end, corresponding to downward slope of material upon initial entry and conveyance within the tube. The decreasing elevation of discharge openings and corresponding slope of material act to delay discharge near the first end, by requiring a build up of material height to reach the opening, and hasten discharge near the second end, by eliminating the need to fill drop tubes or metering devices before conveying material further along the tube. This reduces lag time between progressive discharge openings thereby providing more even material distribution therefrom.

IPC: H04L29/02
Filed: 2006-06-27
Abstract: An improved method is provided for disseminating information in an ad hoc wireless network. In this method, an incoming message is received at a recipient node of the network. A retransmission of the message is scheduled such that the schedule time for the retransmission is proportional to a signal strength at which the message was received by the recipient node. The retransmission of the message is canceled, when the same message is received from a different node in the network prior to the schedule time for the retransmission. The effect is reduced network traffic on the network with minimized latency.

Filed: 2005-02-11
Abstract: A carton with an improved dispenser at an end of the carton which preserves the integrity of the carton when it is opened while permitting the bottom end flaps attached to the bottom panel to remain in place and also a portion of each side end flap that overlaps the bottom end flaps. This dispenser has a bottom tear line in the end of the carton which only extends partially across the end of the carton. The tear line extends upwardly from each side of the bottom tear line to form end retainers to prevent cans in the second row of the carton from rolling out. By placing the bottom tear line no higher from the bottom of the carton than necessary to retain a can in the bottom row and to make the end retainers on each side of the carton no larger than necessary to restrain a can in the second row from rolling out, easy access to the cans on the bottom row of containers is provided after the cans in the second and third rows of the carton have been removed. This dispenser may also provide a safety net for the first can dispensed. The top tear line in the top panel for forming the dispenser flap is located from the exiting end of the carton at a distance that is significantly less than the diameter of a can to be contained in the carton. Preferably this distance is between 70 and 85% of the diameter of a container to be contained in the carton, but can be as short at 50% of the diameter of a container plus approximately three millimeters.
