Patent CA-2397897-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PERIYALWAR SHALINI S
IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 2001-01-19
Abstract: Le système et le procédé de la présente invention utilisent plusieurs porteurs par attribution de terminaux d'utilisateur à plusieurs porteurs, de telle manière qu'un niveau minimum de service est obtenu et que le rendement est maximisé. Chaque terminal d'utilisateur en cours de demande informe une station de base en service de la qualité du canal de chacun des porteurs. Les qualités du canal relatées sont alors converties en des taux maximum de données portés pour chacun des terminaux d'utilisateur et chacun des porteurs. Ces taux de données sont ensuite utilisés pour attribuer des niveaux de service de données et des taux de données pour chacun des terminaux d'utilisateur, de telle manière qu'un niveau minimum de service est obtenu pour chacun des terminaux d'utilisateur. Des transmissions de liaison d'aller, par exemple, des paquets de données/de trames portés par des canaux d'aller (F-CHs) sont réalisées et transmises pour correspondre aux attributions.

Title: A fuel cell powered torque motor
Inventor: RITTERHOFF JURGEN
IPC: H02K11/33
Filed: 2001-01-20
Abstract: A torque motor, especially a fuel cell torque motor, converts chemically stored energy of liquid or gaseous fuels, directly inside the torque motor while avoiding a separate installation of devices, into mechanical energy for driving at least one consumer. The torque motor is provided with fuel cells that serve as an internal energy source, the fuel cells being arranged in the stator around the rotational axis of the motor in an annular manner. The torque motor includes a rotor and stator with permanent magnets arranged on the rotor and with armature windings located in the stator. The armature windings are supplied with current from a commutator having electronic power components. Fuel cell modules and fuel cell supply and control elements are integrated in the commutator in a structurally modular-like manner. The permanent magnets are arranged with a drum-like or disk-like design on the rotational axis of the fuel cell torque motor, thereby eliminating an external excitation of the electric torque motor in the rotor.

Title: Optical component packaging device
Inventor: ALLARD SEBASTIEN
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: A packaging device for protectively enclosing an optical component in a substantially clean and anhydrous environment without imparting undue mechanical stresses on the optical component and adjacent segments of optical fiber coupled thereto. An intermediate component is used in combination with a sealing material for sealing the fiber aperture of a protective housing while allowing an optical fiber to extend therethrough. The protective housing is made out of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion that closely matches that of the optical fiber. A chain of material CTE that includes the CTE of the intermediate component is used in order to circumvent the need for a sealing material having a high melting temperature. The packaging device is also designed so as to reduce water ingress by optimizing the configuration of the sealing component and adjacent structures.

Patent CA-2420973-A1 (CA)
Title: High efficiency fuel cell power conditioner
Inventor: JUNGREIS AARON M
IPC: H01M16/00
Filed: 2001-08-17
Abstract: A high efficiency power conditioner interfaces a load to a fuel cell (10) that produces a low voltage that varies with the load. A dc-to-ac inverter (16) operates with a low voltage input provided by a dc bus (14). When a positive step load change occurs, a low voltage battery (22) provides power equal to the step change until the fuel cell (10) is able to provide enough power to support the entire load. The power from the battery (22) is supplied to the varying dc bus (14) through a boost converter (12). This boost converter allows full control of the battery power, so that the power drawn from the fuel cell can be gradually increased as the ability of the fuel cell to provide the full required load power is gradually increased. When very large positive load step changes occur, the battery can feed power to the dc bus through diode D1, rather than through the boost converter.

Filed: 2003-03-11
Abstract: The present disclosure suggests a method to remove well bore fluid from the path of a shaped-charge jet in order to reduce the effect it has on the jet tip.        This most preferred embodiment uses a precursor liner and a primary liner both pressed in the same housing. In the most preferred embodiment, the primary liner is similar or equivalent to a standard big hole shaped charge liner. The precursor liner is pressed into the apex end of the primary liner and upon detonation is intended to form an initial very fast moving precursor jet to open a path through the fluid of the well bore annulus for the following primary jet. In the preferred embodiment the precursor liner is made from different material, preferably a less dense material and/or a material having a higher sound speed, than the material forming the primary liner.

Title: Method and apparatus for extracting structured data from html pages
Inventor: SEDGHI ALI R
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for extracting structured data from HTML pages whereby an HTML file belonging to a pre-determined class of HTML files can be transformed into an instance tree (142). Other than the HTML file, there are two other inputs to the extraction procedure: a set of constraints (134), and a structure template (140). The steps in the process include: parsing the HTML  file, thereby creating a parse tree (126); annotating the parse tree, thereby creating an annotated parse tree (130); creating an array of nodes from the annotated parse tree using a set of constraints (134); and generating an instance tree (142) from the array of nodes using the structure template (140). The instance tree (142) encodes, in a form that may be used by other computer programs, all the relevant information in the HTML file as prescribed by the set of constraints (134) and makes explicit the structure of this information.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring level variations in a given orientation of a structure, comprises a support portion secured to a structure to be monitored as a function of the given orientation in an adjustable position with respect to the horizon. A balancing arm hangs from the support portion in a resting position with respect to the horizon with one rotational degree of freedom being provided between the support portion and the balancing arm, such that a level variation in the given orientation of the structure causes the balancing arm to tend toward the resting position due to gravitational force A retaining member interrelates the balancing arm to the support portion, the retaining member retaining the balancing arm in the resting position.      Sensors are positioned on the retaining member and are wired to a control system to measure strain of the retaining member resulting from the balancing arm tending toward the resting position, to quantify the level variation in the given orientation.
