Title: Polymer films comprising stabilized infrared absorbing agents
Inventor: GARRETT PAUL
IPC: C08K3/38
Filed: 2006-12-02
Abstract: The present invention includes polymer films that comprise lanthanum hexaboride and an epoxy agent.

Abstract: A l'occasion, le cinéma, le théâtre ou la littérature jeunesse nous présentent des histoires où le spectateur fait des choix à une ou plusieurs occasions. Cella donne lieu à des histoires différentes dans le même scénario.     En littérature jeunesse, cette idée a connu un franc succès dans les années 80 avec la collection   Le livre dont vous êtes le héros  . Ces histoires sur des thèmes s'inspirant de   Donjons et Dragrons   visaient les lecteurs de 9 à 18 ans. J'ai admiré, sans réussir à comprendre, le procédé qui permettait d'écrire ces romans.     Dans la présente invention, j'ai développé un procédé qui permet d'écrire un récit à choix multiples pour les enfants de 3 à 10 ans.     Chaque récit offre 4   moments   où le lecteur (ou l'enfant à qui on lit l'histoire) choisit un épisode parmi 4 choix.     Ainsi, chaque récit comporte 256 histoires différentes d'où un slogan possible.     Un livre = 256 histoires ou Des titres sur le modèle   Beaucoup d'histoires de chats   s'il s'agit d'un récit au sujet d'un chat.

Patent CA-2658739-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROMEO BRUNO
IPC: A23N15/00
Filed: 2007-07-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for cutting vegetables of different sizes and densities in a quick, safe and efficient manner. The apparatus embodied herein provides an automated cutting process requiring only one operator who need not apply any physical exertion during the cutting process, and need not place his or her hands in the vicinity of the blade, as is necessary in conventional cutting methods using saws, guillotines and the like. The speed of the cutting blade bearing down on the vegetable is adjustable by varying the air pressure to a cylinder which actuates movement of the blade. This is advantageous in that the speed of the blade can be changed to suit particular sizes and densities of vegetable. The use of pneumatics further provides an extremely swift blade motion which reduces the likelihood of bruising to the vegetable as well as inaccurate portioning. Furthermore, when using such equipment, the quality of the cut will not be impaired over significant periods of use.

Title: Linear compensator tool for drill countersinking and seal groove machining
Inventor: LUEPKE RICHARD A
IPC: B23B51/10
Filed: 2009-07-29
Abstract: A drill countersinking and seal groove machining tool to accommodate an accurate drill countersinking and seal groove machining operation. The linear compensator tool applies sufficient force to react to the drilling or seal groove machining process, but not so much force as to distort the work piece being drilled or machined. The tool ensures that t he reactant force does not exceed the machine force override allowances. Varying spring rates and/or air pressures on the linear compensator system will accommodate most applications. The tool absorbs over travel of the machining tool, in order to ensure that the surface to be machined is always in contact with the machining tool.

Title: Multi-carrier modulation scheme using an identification sequence
Inventor: QU SHOUXING
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2008-02-04
Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communication of a data block communicated in an OFDM-based communication system. Side-information required to be transmitted by many PAPR reduction schemes in OFDM is carried and transmitted by sending orthogonal binary sequences superimposed on the OFDM data sequence carrying the information to be transmitted. In one embodiment, a selected scrambling sequence is multiplied with an input data block to yield a desired Peak-To-Average Power Ratio. An identification sequence one-to-one corresponding to the scrambling sequence is superimposed on the resultant sequence and transmitted together. In the receiving station, the identification sequence is determined through correlation operations. This also determines the scrambling sequence. The effects of both sequences are finally removed from the information-carrying data sequence.
