Patent CA-2515843-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMOTRICH MICHAEL
IPC: A61N2/04
Filed: 2004-02-19
Abstract: Method and apparatus for hair treatment are disclosed which comprised which comprise applying electromagnetic radiation (EMR) to a skin treatment area to deposit energy in one or more hairs so as to modify a shape and/or chemical structure of at least a portion of the hairs. The applied radiation can cause heating of the hair tips, so as to modify their shape, e.g., reduce sharpness of the hair tips. Modification of the hair can involve heat-induced changes to the shape, composition, or function of the hair tip, hair shaft, and/or hair matrix that make the hair less capable of re-entering the skin. The methods and apparatus can treat and/or prevent pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) in the treatment area. A method is also disclosed for managing hair growth using wavelengths between 1200 nm and 1400 nm.

Title: Method for the continuous coating of the inside of an extruded hollow profile
Inventor: SCHNEIDER MANFRED
IPC: B05C7/04
Filed: 2004-12-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for continuously coating the inside of a continuously extruded hollow profiled bar made of elastic material. According to said method, a hollow profiled bar is directed through a stationary supply of a liquid coating agent on a bent, arc-shaped track, whereby the inner walls of the hollow profiled bar are moistened with coating agent, and the hollow profiled bar is guided along a rising track directly after running through the coating agent supply. The inventive method is characterized in that excess coating agent is wiped off one or several inner walls with the aid of liquid wipers mounted inside the hollow chambers, the hollow profiled bar being continuously moved relative to the liquid wipers. The liquid wipers comprise at least one magnet or magnetizable material and a wiping lip that touches the inner walls while being located downstream of the coating agent supply in the zone of the sloped track of the hollow profiled bar. Said liquid wipers are retained in a steady position within the track of the hollow profiled bar with the aid of counter magnets or magnetizable materials that are fixed next to the outer surface of the continuous hollow profiled bar. The invention also relates to a liquid wiper and a device for removing excess coating agent from the chambers of a hollow profiled member.

Patent CA-2555397-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KHANDEKAR AAMOD
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2005-01-31
Abstract: To recover multiple data streams transmitted simultaneously, a first channel estimate is derived for a wireless channel based on received pilot symbols.  Detection is performed on received data symbols using the first channel estimate to obtain detected symbols for a first data stream. These detected symbols are decoded to obtain a decoded first data stream, which is re-encoded to obtain remodulated symbols. A second channel estimate is derived based on the remodulated symbols. The first and second channel estimates are combined to obtain a third channel estimate having higher quality. Interference due to the first data stream is estimated using the third channel estimate and canceled from the received data symbols. Detection is performed on interference-canceled symbols using the third channel estimate to obtain detected symbols for a second data stream. These detected symbols are further decoded to obtain a decoded second data stream.
