Title: Fire detection method and fire detector therefor
Inventor: OLLIK WALDEMAR
IPC: G01N21/53
Filed: 2004-03-25
Abstract: The sensitivity of scattered-light fire detectors for small particles can be increased substantially when blue light is introduced into the measuring volume in addition to an infrared radiation and the scattered radiation produced by the particles is measured and evaluated separately from each other in the infrared and blue region both in the forward scattering region as well as in the backward scattering region. This can be realized by a fire detector that includes two transmitter LEDs (2.1a, 2.1b) and two photodetectors (2.2a, 2.2b), with these components being arranged such that the photodetectors receive both the forward scattered radiations as well as the backward scattered radiations of the longer and shorter wavelengths separately from each other. A multi-channel evaluation circuit is provided downstream of the photodetectors.
Patent CA-2463736-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAI LAURENCE M C
IPC: B65D81/34
Filed: 2002-11-05
Abstract: Indentation patterns (116a, 116b) are scored in microwave packaging materials (100) to enhance the baking and browning effects of the microwave packaging materials (100) on food products. The indentation patterns (116a, 116b) provide venting to either channel moisture from one area of the food product to another, trap moisture in a certain area to prevent it from escaping, or channel the moisture completely away from the food product. The indentation patterns (116a, 116b) cause the microwave packaging material (100) underneath a food product to be slightly elevated above the cooking platform in the base of a microwave. The indentation patterns (116a, 116b) lessen the heat sinking effect of the cooking platform by providing an air gap for insulation.  Elevating the base of the microwave packaging material (100) further allows more incident microwave radiation to propagate underneath the microwave packaging material (100) to be absorbed by the food product or by microwave interactive materials in the microwave packaging material (100) that augment the heating process.

Title: Method and device for converting a quantized digital value
Inventor: CHAMPION GAEEL
IPC: H03L7/197
Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for converting an input digital value (Sq1) quantized in accordance with a first quantization factor (Cq1) and encoded on not more than n1 bits, into an output digital value (Sq2) quantized in accordance with a second quantization factor (Cq2) and encoded on not more than n2 bits. The method consists in multiplying the input digital value (Sq1) by an integer B, encoded on not more than .beta. bits, to generate an intermediate digital value (C); in dividing, in fixed point, the first intermediate digital value (C) by the number 2.alpha., where .alpha. is an integer not greater than n1+.beta., generating the output digital value (Sq2). The number B/2.alpha. is substantially equal to the ratio of the second quantization factor (Cq2) over the first quantization factor (Cq1). Additionally, the divider means comprise a Sigma-Delta modulator (20).
