Title: System for identity verification
Inventor: PARDIAK EDWARD
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: A method of verifying identity which includes recording coordinates of a reference signature having two dimensional space coordinates x and y and time, t, and pressure (or force), z, exerted by a writer's writing instrument or finger on a recording medium. The method involves measuring and recording an indicium which identifies a portion of the reference signature having a selected characteristic. The coordinates of this portion of the reference signature and the indicium are placed on a portable, readable substrate. The coordinates of an unknown signature which include two dimensional space coordinates x and y and time, t, and force, z, exerted by a writer's writing instrument or finger on a recording medium are recorded. The indicium and the portion of the reference signal are read and stored in memory. The indicium is used to locate a corresponding portion of the unknown signature. The corresponding portion of the unknown signature is compared to the portion of the reference signal to determine if the two match within a predetermined threshold criterion.

Patent CA-2366527-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOLLE CRISTIAN A
IPC: B81B7/02
Filed: 2001-12-27
Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) actuator device is disclosed. The MEMS actuator device has an actuated element that is rotatably connected to a support structure via torsional members.      The torsional members provide a restoring force to keep the actuated element planar to the surface of an underlying substrate. The surface of the substrate has electrodes formed thereon. The electrodes are adapted to receive an electrical potential. When an electrical potential is applied to certain of the electrodes, an electrostatic force is generated which causes the actuated element to rotate out of plane. The electrodes have three components. At least a portion of two of the components is within the tilting area of the actuated element. The third is outside the tilting area of the actuated element. The tilting area is defined as the surface area of the actuated element as projected onto the underlying substrate.

Title: Lead frame moisture barrier for molded plastic electronic packages
Inventor: ROSS RICHARD J
IPC: H01L23/10
Filed: 2000-03-22
Abstract: Electronic packages that consist of dies sealed within hollow plastic enclosures with electrically conductive leads penetrating the enclosure walls to access the die circuitry are manufactured by applying a heat-curable adhesive to the leads at only those locations where the surfaces of the leads will interface with the enclosure material, molding the package around the leads, and curing the adhesive during the molding process or during a post-cure. The adhesive is formulated to form a gas-tight seal around the leads and to maintain the seal during the thermal cycling that the components are exposed to during the typical procedures involved in manufacturing the packages and in making the electrical connections to other circuitry, as well as the typical environmental changes that the finished and installed product is exposed to during use. In particular, the adhesive is selected to accommodate differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the leads and the enclosure material while still maintaining a vapor-tight seal.

Title: Fuel injector heat shield
Inventor: PROCIW LEV A
IPC: F23R3/28
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of inhibiting instability during operation of a gas turbine engine, where the instability is due to the uncontrolled interaction between the air filled gap defined by a heat shield and a fuel passage in a fuel injector. The invention is a method of pre-treating the fuel injectors to form a precipitant, such as coke, within the insulating air gap in a controlled and predictable manner prior to installation of the injector into the engine. In this way, the precipitant impedes the flow of air and fuel within the gap, thus substantially reducing engine instability. The method involves filling an annular portion of the gap with a selected fluid, such as hydrocarbon fuel, and then curing the liquid to form a precipitant, such as coke, that remains physically and chemically stable at temperatures within the temperature operating range of the injector stem.

Patent CA-2382122-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZAKARAUSKAS PIERRE
IPC: G10L17/00
Filed: 2000-08-29
Abstract: A system and method to identify a sound source among a group of sound sources.  The invention matches the acoustic input to a number of signal models, one per source class, and produces a goodness-of-match number for each signal model.  The sound source is declared to be of the same class as that of the signal model with the best goodness-of-match if that score is sufficiently high. The data are recorded with a microphone, digitized and transformed into the frequency domain. A signal detector is applied to the transient. A harmonic detection method can be used to determine if the sound source has harmonic characteristics. If at least some part of a transient contains signal of interest, the spectrum of the signal after rescaling is compared to a set of signal models, and the input signal's parameters are fitted to the data. The average distortion is calculated to compare patterns with those of sources that used in training the signal models. Before classification can occur, a source model is trained with signal data. Each signal model is built by creating templates from input signal spectrograms when they are significantly different from existing templates. If an existing template is found that resembles the input pattern, the template is averaged with the pattern in such a way that the resulting template is the average of all the spectra that matched that template in the past.
