Patent CA-2460829-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HILLIS DAVID JOHN
IPC: C21D7/04
Filed: 2003-07-11
Abstract: A method of increasing the collapse resistance of a tubular comprises locating a tool having at least one, and typically three, bearing members within a tubular. The bearing members are positioned in engagement with a wall of the tubular to apply a radial force to a discrete zone of the wall. This radial force is then applied to further discrete zones of the wall, the level of radial force being selected such that the collapse resistance of the tubular is increased.

Title: Digital transmission system with enhanced data multiplexing in vsb transmission system
Inventor: CHOI IN HWAN
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2004-03-16
Abstract: A digital VSB transmission system and enhanced data multiplexing method are disclosed. When 1/2 enhanced data coded at a rate of 1/2 and 1/4 enhanced data at a rate of 1/4 are transmitted, timing jitter in MPEG of VSB receiver can be reduced and the size of input buffer in MPEG decoder of the VSB receiver can be reduced by multiplexing the 1/2 enhanced data packet and the 1/4 data packet at predetermined intervals. Multiplexing the 1/2 enhanced data packet and the 1/4 data packet by grouping increases the reception performance of the 1/4 enhanced data. Multiplexing the 1/2 enhanced data packet and the 1/4 data packet alternatively reduces the MPEG timing fitter in the VSB receiver and increases the reception performance of the 1/4 enhanced data.

Title: Flexible brake shoe
Inventor: RANCOURT YVON
IPC: F16D65/14
Filed: 2001-10-04
Abstract: A disk brake assembly (20) for a vehicle has a housing (24) a rotor disk (58 ) and an annular flexible bladder (96) to move a first brake shoe (64) towards the rotor disk (58) causing it to move towards a second brake shoe (80). The first brake shoe (64) is deformable and has an annular brake pad (78) attach ed to it using a layer of resilient material (77). An annular piston member (96 ) which protrudes from the first brake shoe (64) to be compressed by the bladd er (96) is thermally insulated from and radially displaceable with respect to t he first brake shoe (64) so that the annular piston member (98) is adapted to maintain the original radial position with respect to the annular bladder (9 6) regardless of radial thermal expansion of the annular rotor disk (58). Thus, local high pressures and temperatures at protruding spots on frictional surfaces of the rotor are minimised and the brake pad lifetime is made longe r. Also, is avoided stresses of the bladder are reduced and premature ageing of the bladder.

Abstract: A system for providing a dynamic multi-mode service acquisition capability to a subscriber station is provided. The subscriber station is capable of operating in two or more modes of operation. A time to scan condition is indicated while the subscriber station is operating in a current mode of operation having active and inactive states. Responsive thereto, the system stores state information for the current mode of operation, and attempts at least a partial acquisition of communications services in accordance with another mode of operation. The at least partial acquisition attempt is scheduled to be initiated while the subscriber station is operating in the inactive state in the current mode of operation, and completed before the subscriber station transitions back to the active state in the current mode of operation. If the acquisition attempt is successful, the subscriber station transitions to the new mode of operation, maintaining appropriate registration. If unsuccessful, the subscriber station uses the stored state information to resume operating in the current mode of operation.
