Patent CA-2369460-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LECCIA BRAD R
IPC: H02B11/133
Filed: 2002-01-29
Abstract: An automatically operating interlock device prevents connection of an electrical device within a cabinet unless the cabinet door is closed. The interlock is particularly useful for circuit breakers contained within arc resistant cabinets. The interlock includes a spring-biased brake bar controlling the position of a brake. The brake bar is biased so that it pulls the brake against one of the wheels of the circuit breaker, thereby preventing movement of the circuit breaker towards its rear, connected position. Closing the door causes the door to push against the brake bar, thereby causing the brake bar to pivot the brake away from the wheel. The circuit breaker may then be moved rearward towards this connected position.

Title: Apparatus and method for detecting the level of a mud bed
Inventor: DUNN FREDRE
IPC: G01F23/296
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for detecting and controlling a level of a mud bed in a high compression gravity thickener (10).    The thickener is fitted with upper and lower vibrating probes (12 and 24) which vibrate at a predetermined amplitude and frequency. When the mud bed reaches a level (30), the vibrating probe (12) is switched, thereby delivering an "on" signal via a control line (32) to turn on an underflow pump (22). In the event of the mud bed reaching a lower level (34), the vibrating probe (24) transmits an "off" signal via a control line (36), thereby turning the pump (22) off and allowing the mud level to increase. The control signals from the upper and lower vibrating probes (12) and (24) are thus used to adjust the throughflow of mud by adjusting the speed of the underflow pump (22) so as to control the level of the mud bed within the thickener.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing digital-to-digital video insertion
Inventor: GORDON DONALD F
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2000-10-24
Abstract: Techniques for seamlessly inserting a second compressed video stream (e.g., for an advertisement) into a first compressed video stream (e.g., for a program video), which can be implemented in an ad insertion processor (112) that typically includes a real time encoder (202a) (e.g., an MPEG encoder), a buffer (204a), a profiler (112), a multiplexer (112), and a splicer (112). The profiler receives the first compressed video stream and provides a "profile" for the stream, which may include bit rate and other information about the stream. The real time encoder (202a) receives and encodes a second video in accordance with a particular encoding scheme to generate the second compressed video stream. The real time encoder further controls the encoding of the second video based at least in part on the profile of the first compressed video stream such that the profiles for the two streams are approximately similar at the point in time the second stream is inserted into the first stream. The buffer (204a) stores the first compressed video stream from the real time encoder until it is needed. The multiplexer inserts the second compressed video stream into the first compressed video stream, and the splicer splices the two streams together to form the output video stream.
