Patent CA-2194951-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KARTOLEKSONO B PRABOWO
IPC: E03D1/30
Filed: 1997-01-13
Abstract: A dual flush mechanism equipped with a two independent flush valves which are each separately controlled by a separate spring loaded button. The flush valves are at different heights in the toilet tank such that actuation of the upper flush valve, by pressing a first button on top of the tank, will produce a short flush, while pressing of the second button will actuate the lower flush valve to produce a long flush. Pivot rods are pivotably supported on a common axis below the first and second buttons. The upper end of each pivot rod is coupled through a spring to its respective push button on top of the tank. The opposite ends of the pivot rods are coupled respectively through a chain to the upper and lower flush valves. Pressing the first button exerts a downward force through the spring on the first pivot rod to raise the opposite end thereof which in turn raises the upper flush valve. Pushing the second button actuates the second pivot rod in the same manner to raise the lower flush valve. The height of the upper flush valve can be adjusted.

Title: System and method for constructing and using generalized skeletons for animation models
Inventor: LAPERRIERE RICHARD
IPC: G06T13/40
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: A method and system for constructing a skeleton for use in animation models allows definition of a skeleton with non-articulated chain elements. These non-chain elements can be 3D objects, which can be rendered and visible in final images and animations, or null models which are not visible in final images or animations. All of the elements of the skeleton, including non-chain elements, are arranged into a skeleton hierarchy. The skeleton hierarchy can include articulated chain elements, articulated chain elements combined with non-chain elements, or solely non-chain elements. Relational information and/or mathematical relationships can be defined for the elements of the skeleton to define ranges of motion, elements which move with other elements and/or translation, rotation, scaling and/or animation of elements.

Title: Delivery of data including preloaded advertising data
Inventor: DIMITRIADIS DIMITRI
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 1995-09-14
Abstract: Advertising information (28) is preloaded (22, 26) into a collection of remote receiving (42) and presentation devices (40).  A presentation command delivered to the device then causes presentation of the stored advertisement. Each stored advertisement is also associated with one or more presentation conditions causing, when detected, automatic presentation. Such presentation conditions include proximity to a given location (14, 52), scheduled periodic presentation, time of day presentation, and a variety of other conditions detectable at the remote presentation device.  The illustrated method and apparatus for advertising presentation requires but a single broadcast signal transmission (20) of a given advertisement, but provides multiple presentations of such advertisement at the presenting devices. In this manner, the advertiser enjoys efficient use of broadcast signal transmission time.

Patent CA-2203964-A1 (CA)
Title: Active array self calibration
Inventor: BOE ERIC N
IPC: H01Q21/00
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: A process for collecting phase and amplitude calibration data for an active array system without the use of external sensors.   The relative phase and amplitudes of adjacent T/R modules are determined when viewed through the entire array system.   The calibration process  involves collecting and storing these phases and amplitudes for future use.  A pulse-to-pulse phase or amplitude modulation mode is employed.  An element is commanded into this mode to  separate  its  signal  (in  frequency)  from  competing signals and leakages from the surrounding modules.  A T/R inversion  command  allows  far a  single  element  to  be switched to a transmit state while the remainder of the array is in the receive state.  This provides for a reference signal during receive calibration, and for single module testing during transmit calibration.

Title: A method and apparatus for improving the utility of speech recognition
Inventor: WILLIAMS L LLOYD
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1997-10-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the utility of speech recognition is described.   The method involves capturing a spoken word, passing the spoken word to a speech recognition  algorithm,   receiving  at   least   one   text representation  of  the  spoken  word  from  the  speech recognition algorithm, and passing a text representation of the spoken word to a display telephone to permit the user to select the correct representation of the voice response.          The apparatus is an access server which communicates with a display telephone,  a  speech  recognition  algorithm which responds to queries from the access server and one or more databases which likewise respond to queries from the access server.  The method and apparatus are particularly useful in automating such functions as telephone directory services using display telephones.   The advantage is the ability to completely automate directory services for owners of display telephones and to significantly broaden the applications for speech recognition as a tool in information retrieval and transaction processing.
