Patent CA-2680118-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WAITES NIGEL
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2008-03-14
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un lecteur multimédia conçu pour balayer les fichiers multimédia stockés sur la carte mémoire externe afin d'actualiser la base de données interne du lecteur. Un logiciel gestionnaire multimédia installé sur un ordinateur personnel établit un bit indicateur de modification dans la mémoire interne du lecteur multimédia chaque fois que les fichiers multimédia figurant sur la mémoire externe sont modifiés. Le lecteur multimédia vérifie le bit indicateur de modification lors du démarrage ou lors de l'insertion de la carte mémoire. Si le bit indicateur de modification est établi, le lecteur multimédia balaie les fichiers multimédia sur la carte mémoire, il actualise sa base de données, puis il efface le bit indicateur de modification. Si le bit indicateur de modification n'est pas établi, le lecteur multimédia ne balaie pas la carte mémoire. Le bit indicateur de modification est associé, dans la mémoire interne, à un identifiant pour la carte mémoire, cela permet l'utilisation de plusieurs cartes mémoires.

Patent CA-2684516-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HACK JEFFREY
IPC: G03B37/00
Filed: 2008-04-22
Abstract: The method employs a computer interconnected with a GPS transceiver and a distance measurement means and operatively interconnected with a digital camera, all provided on a moving vehicle, in order to acquire a plurality of geographic location related images. A first geographic position is obtained from the GPS transceiver and a plurality of distance measurements are then received before a second geographic position is taken. A photo request is generated after a pre-determined distance has been traveled and is transmitted to the digital camera. The camera takes a photo based on the request and the photos, photo requests, first and second positions and distance measurements are stored for post-processing. The post-processing determines a path traveled by the vehicle using the positions and distance measurements and assigns an accurate geographic location and orientation to each photo. The method is useful in building a database of geographically related images.

Abstract: Acoustic Deterrence A method and system of deterring mammalsis disclosedinvolving incurring an acoustic startle responsecomprisingthe steps of:selecting a target order, family, genus or species to be deterred;selecting a received level that is a predetermined level above a representative hearing threshold of the targeted mammals; and,taking transmission loss into account, transmitting an acoustic signal at a source levelrequired to create the selectedreceived levelat a predetermined distance from the transmission point.The acoustic signal may comprise frequency components at which the aural sensitivity of the targeted mammals is greater than that of selected other animals, preventing the disturbance of the selected other animals whilst deterring the targeted mammals. In addition, a secondary conditioning sound may be played prior to the main acoustic signalto condition the mammals to avoid the main stimulus. Furthermore, using the same steps, an aversive stimulus may be played that elicits an avoidance without a startle reflex. The characteristics of these aversive sounds are those found to beunpleasant to humans. Accordingly, the aversive sound is selected to have one or more of the following psychophysical features: high roughness; low tonality; high loudness; high sharpness.

Abstract: What is described is a self-boring screw (2) comprising a bore section (6) attached to the free end of the screw shaft (4), two vanes (12) radially protruding from said bore section, the border of said vanes facing toward the bore tip (8) of the bore section (6) being configured as a boring blade (13).  The bore section (6) comprises a chip discharge zone (14) that is configured such that the border of the vanes (12) facing toward the bore tip (8) forms a cutting point (S) with a bore radius (16), said cutting point having a distance (A) to the screw shaft (4) that is at least 2/3 of the cutting edge length of the bore tip (8).  The chip discharge zone (14) makes it possible that the chips produced by the boring bla-de (10) at the bore tip (8) can be discharged freely and without buildup.  The ma-terial cut by the boring blade (10) is conveyed as chipped material away from the bore tip (8) in the direction of the cutting point (S) at a lower vane connection (15) as a result of the rotational motion of the screw (2), thus ensuring unhinde-red chip discharge. It is possible to compress the chips to be discharged to a ma-ximum of 2/3 of the cross section occurring after the cut. This ensures that even critically sized chips are removed without blocking the discharge of chips from the area of the bore section (6).
