IPC: C25B1/26
Filed: 2010-11-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for sanitising water in a swimming pool or the like, which method uses sources of ionic chlorine at significantly lower levels than conventional systems.

Title: Method and apparatus of cross-correlation with application to channel estimation and detection
Inventor: WU HUAN
IPC: H04W24/06
Filed: 2013-06-19
Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a method and apparatus for efficient cross-correlation between a reference sequence and a received sequence in a wireless communication system. The reference sequence includes a concatenation of sign-adjusted sub-sequences, the sign adjustments determined by a first sign sequence of a set of sign sequences. For example, the reference sequence may be an alternating concatenation of sign-adjusted Golay complementary pair sub-sequences. The received sequence is shifted to provide a plurality of time shifted sequences that are then cross-correlated with the sub-sequences to form a set of partial cross-correlations. The partial cross-correlations are sign-adjusted using the first sign sequence and combined to produce the cross-correlation between the reference sequence and the received sequence. The cross-correlations so produced may be used for channel signature (e.g. PHY-type) identification and/or channel impulse response estimation.

Title: Die casting machine
Inventor: BERGERON STEPHANE
IPC: B22D17/08
Filed: 2010-12-29
Abstract: The die casting machine comprises a mold closing actuator capable of selectively inducing a closing pressure on first and second platens for forcing them towards a closed position in which their mold portions are pressed against each other along a parting line. An injection sleeve is movable relative to the mold portions between a distal position in which the injection sleeve and the mold portions are spaced apart; and an injection position in which the injection sleeve engages the mold portions at an inlet opening when the first and second platens are in their closed position. The injection sleeve applies a transverse contact pressure when it engages the mold portions. The closing pressure is unevenly distributed on the platens so as to compensate the transverse contact pressure to have a resulting effective molding pressure on the mold portions that is substantially evenly distributed across the parting line.

Patent CA-2826288-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROSSI JACOB S
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2012-01-06
Abstract: In at least some embodiments, input provided by a single source generates events representing multiple source types through a mapping process, e.g. a touch input generates both touch and mouse events. By configuring the system to not recognize certain gestures, messages associated with the events of the different source types are then interleaved and provided to an associated application for processing. Efficiencies are gained by configuring the system to interleave the messages associated with the source types because messages of one source type can be processed sooner than if the messages of the one source type were queued up and sent in a non- interleaved fashion.

Filed: 2013-09-26
Abstract: Apparatus for examination of a sample under pressure by nuclear magnetic resonance has a magnet system (22) providing a magnetic field and may have gradient coils (24) for superimposing a gradient on the magnetic field. The apparatus has one or more coolant vessels (18) containing one or more radio-frequency coils (20) for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation, with the coil or coils cooled by coolant in the vessel (18) while located within the magnetic field. A pressurizable sample holder comprises a nonmagnetic pressure retaining tube (10) formed of electrically insulating matrix material containing electrically insulating reinforcing filaments wherein the spectrometer is configured to accomodate the sample holder with the axis of the pressure retaining tube (10) transverse to the magnetic field, and the radiofrequency coil or coils (20) at the exterior of the pressure retaining tube. Cooling of the coil or coils may be to liquid nitrogen temperature. Such cooling improves the signal to noise ratio and offsets the low coil filling factor which is a consequence of placing the coil outside a non-metallic pressure retaining tube. End pieces at each end of the tube are connected together and contain longitudinal pressure stress.
