Patent CA-2420713-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KANEKO MASAHIKO
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: A method for outputting supplemental media streams with a main media stream is presented. The method monitors for triggering events and, upon detecting a triggering event, causes one or more supplemental media streams associated with the triggering event to output. The associated supplemental media streams may be output either synchronously or asynchronously with the main media stream. Synchronous supplemental media streams are output concurrently with the main media stream. Asynchronously output supplemental media streams suspend the main media stream while they are output and terminate any currently outputting supplemental media streams. A supplemental media stream may cause a conditional triggering event to trigger a second supplemental media stream to output synchronously with the first. A second main media stream with associated supplemental media streams may be output asynchronously as a compiled supplemental media stream in connection with a first main media stream.

Patent CA-2446576-A1 (CA)
Title: Highlighter pen
Inventor: WIENS PETER M
IPC: B43K8/00
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: The invention is an improvement to the cylindrical highlighter pen. The older design has a round grip offering no physical indication as to the alignment of the chisel shaped nib. It requires that the person visually check the nib each time before marking a highlight or an underline. This is distracting and unnecessary. The invention will flatten two opposing sides of the grip, which will help the fingers align the pen to the correct orientation. As well, a ridge or a bump, placed on one of these flat surfaces, will differentiate the pointed nib's orientation. The flattening of the grip will in no way disturb the pen's sleek cylindrical outer profile. Like the original design, it will store easily in pockets and pencil cases giving you the option of canying more than one.

Title: Dynamic control of a phase-locked loop
Inventor: SKINNER EMILY JEAN
IPC: H03L7/107
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: A Phase-locked Loop (PLL) (204) that is dynamically and automatically altered in response to changes in the jitter of the input is disclosed. The Analysis Block (304) receives one or more inputs from the PLL operation. The output of the Analysis Block (304) triggers a change in the Parametric Control Block (308) which in turn imparts changes on the gains of one or more of the various components or the value of .omega.N of the PLL Low Pass Filter (116). The dynamic change to at least one parameter of the PLL adjusts the tradeoff between removing as much of the jitter as possible and having a responsive system that has a reduced risk of buffer underflow or overflow. This abstract is provided as a tool for those searching for relevant disclosures, and not as a limitation on the scope of the claims.
