Patent CA-2093997-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KURODA YOSHIHIDE
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1993-04-14
Abstract: On terminating processing of an STS-N signal into which first through N-th STS-1 signals identified by first through N-th channel numbers are multiplexed, a channel counter counts up from a first value to an N-th value in response to leading bytes of SPE's of the STS-1 signals in the STS-N signal.  Responsive to control bytes following the leading bytes in the STS-N signal, the counter repeats the above-mentioned operation and produces a count signal successively representing the first through the N-th values as the first through the N-th channel numbers.  A data processor processes the STS-N signal.  First through N-th FIFO's correspond to the first through the N-th channel numbers.  Responsive to the count signal, a distributor distributes an output of the processor at every one byte to the FIFO's corresponding to the channel numbers represented by the first through N-th values successively indicated by the count signal.

Title: Method and device for analyzing particles
Inventor: ASANO KAORU
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1993-06-18
Abstract: ABSTRACT         When a mixture of different kinds of particles, such as blood, is passed through a particle detector such as a flow cytometer to measure various characteristics of each particle and the measurements of two characteristics are plotted on a two-dimensional rectangular co-ordinate, for example, the resultant dots tend to part into groups (clusters) corresponding to the kinds of the particles.  This invention relates to a method and a device for presuming information about the position of the center of gravity, variances, the number of dots and the like of each cluster by learning and, based upon such information presuming a specific cluster or category to which each measured particle should belong from the corresponding measurements of the particle.

Patent CA-2105549-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIELMAN CURT
IPC: B62D53/06
Filed: 1993-10-12
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE. Changing the wheelbase on tractor trailer combinations in an effort to better distribute the cargo load weight has resulted in the use of a sliding bogey-from which is suspended the trailer running gear. The sliding bogey is independent from the trailer frame and slides fore and aft along the trailer frame and can be locked into a variety of positions along the trailer frame. Currently available bogey systems utilize sliding members of generally rectangular cross section and are subject to binding both from the build up of road contaminants and the inherent difficulties associated with rectangular sliding mechanisms. A more reliable and substantially sealed sliding system utilizes a pair of generally elongated telescoping tubes, each pair located on either side of the trailer frame with one member of each pair forming an integral part of a sliding bogey while the other member of each pair acts as a support piece for the trailer frame, is fixed to the trailer frame and thus moves with the trailer frame. A plurality of locking pins are used to secure the bogey to the trailer frame in the desired position sufficient to achieve the desired wheelbase.
Patent CA-2107031-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FRIES HJALMAR
IPC: G01M3/16
Filed: 1993-09-27
Abstract: One end of a dual-ended housing is closed off by a plug formed of a water-soluble material which is admixed with a con-stituent which forms a readily-frangible structure in the plug.  An electrical switch which has an actuating plunger is set, in the housing against the plug, so that the latter holds the plunger depressed/retracted. Moisture expands the material which, in turn, destroys the structure and, subsequently, the plug is so weakened  that the plunger breaks through to actuate the switch.

Title: Process for separating hf from its mixtures with hydrochlorofluorocarbons 123 and/or 124
Inventor: SOLINAS GIAMPAOLO
IPC: C07C17/386
Filed: 1993-12-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for separating HF contained in liquid mixtures comprising HCFC 123 and/or 124. The mixtures, enriched in C2C14 up to a content of such compound of 20-75% by weight, is subjected to a treatment for separating liquid phases, thereby obtaining an acid phase very rich in Hf and an organic phase impoverished in HF, which is subjected to a flash, so obtaining a liquid phase containing 123, 124 and C2Cl4, having a very low HF content, and a gas phase enriched in HF. As an alternative to flash, a separation in a distillation column can be carried out.
