Patent CA-2518116-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAWICKI CHRISTOPHER P
IPC: G08B5/36
Filed: 2005-09-06
Abstract: The communication safety system overcomes the disadvantages of hand signaling between drivers of off-road vehicles. Two or more light sources, e.g., high intensity Light Emitting Diodes (LED's), are mounted in a casing that is attached to the body of an off-road vehicle or to the driver's helmet. The LED's ran be activated in different combinations to signal to oncoming drivers that a driver with a communication safety system is the first or last in a train of vehicles or that more vehicles are approaching. By using the communication safety system, a driver is relieved of the need to use hand signals, which involves taking one hand off of the handlebars of an off-road vehicle.

Title: Receiver spatial processing for eigenmode transmission in a mimo system
Inventor: HOWARD STEVEN J
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: For eigenmode transmission with minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver spatial processing, a transmitter performs spatial processing on NS data symbol streams with steering vectors to transmit the streams on NSspatial channels of a MIMO channel. The steering vectors are estimates of transmitter steering vectors required to orthogonalize the spatial channels. A receiver derives a spatial filter based on an MMSE criterion and with an estimate of the MIMO channel response and the steering vectors. The receiver (1) obtains NR received symbol streams from NR receive antennas, (2) performs spatial processing on the received symbol streams with the spatial filter to obtain NS  filtered symbol streams, (3) performs signal scaling on the filtered symbol streams with a scaling matrix to obtain NS recovered symbol streams, and (4) processes the NS recovered symbol streams to obtain NS decoded data streams for the NS data streams sent by the transmitter.

Abstract: knee brace has a hinge mechanism between upper and lower portions, the hinge mechanism having connected upper and lower members attachable to the upper and lower portions of the brace. The hinge mechanism also has a pad for applying pressure to a side of a wearer's knee, for among other reasons to guide a user's knee in a natural motion during knee flexion and extension. A four-bar hinge provides posterior translation immediately prior to rotation, avoiding a "pistoning" effect between upper and lower portions of the knee brace. A  compliant stop is provided in the hinge to prevent over-extension of the knee and to prevent jarring of the knee when the knee is extended. The hinge has a sliding plate onto which the pad is mounted, which moves posterially with the skin of the user when the knee is flexed, thereby avoiding excessive skin abrasion and irritation. To further avoid skin and underlying tissue irritation, the pad may also be gel or foam-filled, and may have a surface made of a slippery material.
