Patent CA-2615665-A1 (CA)
Title: Synchronous spread-spectrum communications system and method
Inventor: SCHILLING DONALD L
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 1991-12-10
Abstract: A spread spectrum communications system for use over a communications channel, including a transmitter-generic-chip-code generator, a transmitter-message-chip-code generator, an EXCLUSIVE-OR gate, a combiner, a transmitter, a receiver-generic-chip-code generator, a receiver--generic mixer, a generic-bandpass filter, a receiver-message-chip-code generator, a receiver-message mixer, a message-bandpass filter, and a synchronous detector. The transmitter-generic-chip-code generator generates a generic-chip-code signal and the transmitter-message-chip-code generator generates a message-chip-code signal. The EXCLUSIVE-OR gate spread-spectrum processes message data with the message-chip-code signal to generate a spread-spectrum signal. The combiner combines the generic--chip-code signal with the spread-spectrum-processed signal. The transmitter transmits the combined generic-chip-code signal and spread-spectrum signal, on a carrier signal over the communications channel as a spread-spectrum--communications signal. The receiver-generic-chip-code generator generates a replica of the generic-chip-code signal. The generic mixer recovers the carrier signal from the spread-spectrum-communications signal. The receiver-message-chip-code generator generates a replica of the message--chip-code signal. The receiver-message mixer despreads the spread--spectrum-communications signal as a modulated-data signal. The tracking and acquisition circuit uses the recovered carrier signal for synchronizing the replicas of the generic-chip-code signal to the recovered carrier signal. The synchronous detector synchronously demodulates the modulated-data signal as received data.
Patent CA-2615822-A1 (CA)
Title: Corrective eyeglasses
Inventor: VIKTOR MICHAEL
IPC: G02C7/16
Filed: 2006-08-15
Abstract: The lens of the subject corrective eyeglasses obstructs the vision of a preselected area but not the whole of the wearer's stronger eye, either by impairing his vision or entirely blocking it. When the vision is so obstructed, the wearer's weaker eye is forced to compensate for the stronger eye's loss by taking over the area of sight not visible by the stronger eye.  The lens may be obstructed by applying over the preselected area of the lens a coating which distorts or blurs the object seen by the eye. Alternatively an opaque coating may be applied to the preselected area to entirely block the object. In either case, the wearer is forced to use his weaker eye to see the object impaired or blocked by the coating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a particle characterisation apparatus in which particles suspended in a liquid are passed through an aperture, in principle one by one, to enable characterisation of the particles, for instance by Coulter counting. In particular the present invention relates to an apparatus for characterizing particles suspended in a liquid sample, comprising a housing with a mixing chamber 3 and a collection chamber separated by a wall containing an aperture 59 for passage of particles between the mixing chamber 3 and the collection chamber 5, the mixing chamber 3 further containing a mixing member, a first electrode 34 in the mixing chamber 3 and a second electrode 35 in the collection chamber 5 for conduction of an electrical current through the aperture 59, a processor that is adapted for controlling the measurement sequence of the apparatus and detect possible blockage of the aperture by detecting extended duration of the electrical pulse caused by the blocking particle, and upon detection of a blockage, reverse the liquid flow while mixing in the mixing chamber for removal of the blocking particle, and restart particle counting. Experiments show that most particles blocking an aperture are removed in the apparatus according to the present invention. A 75% decrease of non-successful measurements was achieved.
