Patent CA-2161500-C (CA)

Abstract: A logging apparatus is adapted to be disposed in a mud filled wellbore, and a measurement probe is connected to a bottom of a tool string of the logging apparatus. The measurement probe is adapted for measuring a resistivity of a mud in the mud filled wellbore. The measurement probe includes a bottom electrode disposed on a bottom of the probe when the logging apparatus is disposed in the wellbore, a second electrode, and at least one measurement electrode disposed adjacent the bottom electrode for measuring a voltage potential drop in a region of the mud which is disposed directly below the bottom electrode of the measurement probe when the probe is disposed in the wellbore. When the measurement probe is energized, a current flows in the mud between the bottom electrode and the second electrode. When the current is initially emitted into the mud from the bottom electrode, and when the current is received from the mud in the bottom electrode, the current flows in a direction which is approximately parallel to a longitudinal axis of the logging apparatus tool string. Since the measurement electrode is disposed adjacent the bottom electrode, the measurement electrode measures the voltage potential drop in a region of the mud disposed directly below the bottom electrode. In addition, the voltage potential drop in such region measured by the measurement electrode is controlled primarily by the current being emitted from or received in the bottom electrode and flowing in such region.

Abstract: A controlled atmosphere container system for shipping, storing, and ripening perishable prod-ucts, wherein the container system includes a plu-rality of individual, transportable containers to be cconnected from time to time with a central source for providing acontrolled atmosphere to those con-tainers. A controller enables the container system to optimally allocate the capacity of the central source of the controlled atmosphere based upon the relative atmospheric conditions of the contain-ers attached thereto and the capacity of the source according to a predetermined hierarchy of priorities for allocating the controlled atmosphere gas to the individual containers.  In a preferred arrangement, the central source for the controlled atmosphere gas includes at least one distribution control unit which acts to selectively direct controlled atmos-phere gas to individual containers in accordance with the allocation hierarchy of the system. The same containers are used to implement a method for uniformly controlling the ripening of bananas and other perishable products from harvest to delivery during shipping. Freshly harvested, unripened perishable products are loaded into the containers and cooled to a holding temperature in a range of from about 57 °F to about 70 °F. One the products are stabilized at the desired holding temperature, a controlled atmosphere including ethylene is substantially immediately provided to the internal volume to uniformly initiate ripening of all of the loaded products. Once ripening has been initiated, the ethylene is reduced within the internal volume by displacement with a low oxygen controlled atmosphere, which is maintained within the container during storage, transportation, and delivery procedures. Prior to unloading the ripened products from the container, the atmosphere within the internal volume is returned to normal conditions.   Once the loaded products have been stabilized at the desired holding temperature and exposed to the ethylene atmosphere to initiate ripening procedures, adjustments to the controlled atmosphere and temperature within the internal volume can be utilized to "tune" the ripening prooess as desired to provide ripened products for delivery within a range of timing schedules.

Title: Personal identification systems
Inventor: BRADY PATRICK SHAUN
IPC: G06F21/44
Filed: 1994-10-14
Granted: 2000-02-08
Abstract: In personal identification systems which compare passwords in a verification computer to identify a user, successive passwords are generated, or retrieved from a stored list in the verification computer in response to each entry of a public username into the verification computer. A user device carried by the user retrieves the next successive password from a stored list in response to a command from the user and displays the password. The user then reads this password and offers it to the verification computer via a keyboard entry to be compared with the password already generated or retrieved in response to the username (the expected password).

Patent CA-2209130-C (CA)

Granted: 2001-09-04
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a plastic camshaft having a tubular metal insert using a die assembly having a pair of aligned pins.  The tubular metal insert is cut to a length slightly shorter than the length of the finished camshaft and is placed on one of the pins.  The second pin is then inserted into the opposite end of the tubular metal insert during the closing of the die assembly. The pins properly align the metal insert within the mold cavity of the die assembly during injection of a surrounding plastic material which forms the remainder of the camshaft.  The pins also axially compress the tubular metal insert and have tapered shoulders which bear against and slightly deform or flare the end regions of the insert.  The flared ends of the tubular metal insert tightly engage the pins and prevent the formation of flash within the hollow interior of the tubular metal insert.  By cutting the inserts to a length which is shorter than the total length of the camshaft, imprecision in the cutting of the insert does not result in the formation of flash adjacent the annular ends of insert.  This method permits the tubular metal insert to be properly located within the mold and prevent the formation of flash during injection of molten plastic without requiring the metal insert to be precision ground.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptive mobile station presence verification in a cellular system. Mobile station presence verification is performed only for selected requested handoffs from a first base station (B5) to a second base station (B1), where the selected requested handoffs are chosen based on a rate of mobile station presence verifications per requested handoffs from the first base station to the second base station, that is adaptively changed as handoffs occur. In an embodiment of the invention, the rate of mobile station presence verifications per requested handoffs from the first base station (B5) to the second base station (B1) is adaptively changed based on the rates of unsuccessful verifications (318) per verification attempts (312) and, the rate of unsuccessful handoffs (318) per requested handoff attempts (308), from the first base station (B5) to the second base station (B1).

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for determining the concentration of an analyte present in a sample using multi-spectral analysis in the near infrared range. Incident radiation containing a plurality of distinct, nonoverlapping regions of wavelengths in the range of approximately 1100 to 3500 nm is used to scan a sample. Diffusively reflected radiation emerging from the sample is detected, and a value indicative of the concentration of the analyte is obtained using an application of chemometrics techniques. Information obtained from each nonoverlapping region of wavelengths can be cross-correlated in order to remove background interferences.
