Title: Systems and methods for data reading and eas tag sensing and deactivating at retail checkout
Inventor: TABET NICOLAS N
IPC: G07G1/00
Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: Methods of operation for data reader and security tag deactivation system (10) whereby a data reader is equipped with EAS deactivation coils/modules (14) disposed in the vicinity of the read volume or generally proximate thereto.  System (10) is operable to permit reading of the ID tag (5) on an item, and upon a successful read, the deactivation unit (12) is operable to (1) sense presence of an EAS tag (5); (2) if presence of EAS tag (5) is sensed, energize the deactivation coil/module (14) to deactivate the EAS tag (5); (3) sense if EAS tag (5) is deactivated. If EAS tag (5) is sensed to have been deactivated, the system signals and next item is scanned. Also, it may be operable to urge the operator to return an item to the read volume to enhance EAS tag deactivation, one method being by delaying good read acknowledgment until determining that the EAS tag (5) which may have been previously detected has subsequently been deactivated.

Title: Secure method for modifying data recorded in a memory card
Inventor: PANGAUD NICOLAS
IPC: G07F7/08
Filed: 2003-12-12
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for modifying data in a card transaction system comprising a memory card and a reader adapted to read the card, the card including a non-volatile, erasable and rewriteable memory containing at least one location for recording a data value related to the transactions performed by the card. Each transaction causes the data value to be modified, the latter being monotone in time. Upon each transaction, a data value writing operation writes the new data value (Y) in a first location (B) between two predefined locations of the memory forming a counter, the writing operation erasing the previous data value recorded in the second location (A) such that at the end of the writing operation correctly performed the first location contains the new value while the second location contains the value zero.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un haut-parleur modulaire, conçu principalement pour être utilisé comme haut-parleur de contrôle pour studio, comprenant un module à large bande pour diffuser dans une première gamme de fréquence avec une fréquence de limite suffisamment basse pour assurer une lecture pleinement acceptable dans de nombreuses situations. Il comporte, de plus, une unité de diffusion haute fréquence (et éventuellement, également une unité de diffusion moyenne fréquence) dont les caractéristiques directionnelles par rapport au coffre du module peuvent être commandées. Ce haut parleur modulaire est, en outre, pourvu d'un ou de plusieurs modules basse fréquence lui permettant de diffuser dans une seconde gamme de fréquence pouvant, au moins partiellement, recouvrir la première gamme et ce, afin d'augmenter la sortie acoustique à l'extrémité inférieure de la gamme de fréquence issue du module à large bande ou d'étendre la fréquence de limite inférieure du haut-parleur modulaire dans son ensemble en dessous de la fréquence de limite inférieure du module à large bande. Ce haut-parleur modulaire comporte, de surcroît, des moyens de transmission d'informations relatives à la présence et au nombre de modules basse fréquence, afin de modifier automatiquement des paramètres appropriés de traitement de signal pour obtenir une réponse cible donnée du haut-parleur modulaire dans son ensemble.
Patent CA-2510685-A1 (CA)
Inventor: UMEDA ATSUSHI
IPC: B21D53/10
Filed: 2005-06-27
Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for designing a rolling bearing provided with components including rolling elements, an outer ring, and an inner ring which come into contact with each other. First, it is determined whether or not adiabatic shear bands have a potential for occurrence within at least one of the components, due to the fact that stress is applied to the components, thus causing high deformation rates in the at least one of the components to cause an unstable plastic phenomenon that brings about an adiabatic shear deformation state within the at least one of the components. Then an estimation is made such that brittle flaking resulting from the adiabatic shear bands have a potential for occurrence within the at least one of the components, when it is determined that the adiabatic shear bands have a potential for occurrence.

Title: A variable speed electric turbocharger tb-08
Inventor: TRUDEL NICOLAS V
IPC: F02B39/10
Filed: 2005-09-12
Abstract: Turbochargers conventionally use the engine's exhaust energy to propell into action the turbocharger. This causes the engine's available torque to drastically kick in as the revs go up. Since it becomes available at sometimes inoppertune times, this impacts limitations on driveability.      The New Variable Turbo is a self contained unit that not only gives you practically instantaneous boost but adds versatility to the game by allowing you to dial in your boost at any given time.      The beneficial properties of this product are: .cndot. Variable boost level(adjustable) .cndot. Lowers boost thresholds .cndot. Fine tune the turbo's responsiveness .cndot. Ability to isolate this system in an ambient air source .cndot. Closed & open loop configuration(EFI) By having selectable boost at your fingertips you could level performances previously gagged by a lack of psi's...      The New Variable Turbocharger sets out to fill in as an upgrade system, a piggyback component to help compensate a turbo engine's low range boost.      Since conventional turbochargers, through exhaust energy, spool up to pressurize the intake manifold, this creates inconsistencies in available boost depending on the engine's revs(rpm) as well as backpressure. The NVT is designed to integrate and improve existing turbocharged systems; by filling the boost gaps, it flattens the existing boost thresholds. At this point, the torque curve starts to rapidly swing upwards and so shall your grin as the tires spin.      The addition of an intercooler to the system will allow for higher compression ratio's and better engine management by densing the charge and lowering it's temperature.

Title: Device and method for recording information
Inventor: IJTSMA POPE
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: A device for recording records information in blocks having logical addresses at a physical address in a track on a record carrier. The logical addresses are translated into the physical addresses in dependence of defect management information, such as primary and secondary defect lists and remapping tables, maintained in defect management areas (61). The defect management information includes assignment information indicative of assignment of physical addresses in parts of the track to user data areas or to defect management areas. The device has assignment means for dynamically adapting the assignment information in dependence of detected defects (54) by assigning an additional physical address range to an additional defect management area (61). The additional physical address range starts near the detected defect (54). Hence the defect (54) is covered by a defect management area, which reduces the need for remapping.
