Patent CA-2213471-C (CA)
Inventor: SIDDLE DAVID R
IPC: B23C5/24
Filed: 1996-03-06
Granted: 2001-04-24
Abstract: A cartride-type milling cutter (1) is provided having a cartridge mounting mechanism (13) that resists the centrifugal load applied to the cartridges at high rotational speeds. The milling cutter includes a generally cylindrical cutter body (3), at least one replaceable tool cartridge (11) having a trailing face (21) and a leading face (19) having a cutting insert (31) for cutting a work-piece, and a mounting mechanism for detachably securing the tool cartridge (11) onto the cutter body (3). The mounting mechanism (13) includes a recess (40) in the cutter body (3) for receiving the cartridge (11) that includes a radially canted wall for providing dovetail-type resistance to radial movement of the cartridge (11) and at least one compressively loaded set screw (50) in the cutter body (3) for compressively engaging the leading face of the cartridge in order to seat and retain it within the recess (40). During the operation of the cutter, the centrifugal load is substantially borne by the combination of the radially canted wall and the set screw (50). The mounting mechanism preferably also includes a screw (64) optionally radially-oriented, that passes through a through bore (62) in the sides of the tool cartridge (11) for providing additional insurance against the loosening or breaking away of the cartridge (11) during high speed operation.

Patent CA-2227815-C (CA)
Inventor: HERMANTO IVI
IPC: G01N21/88
Filed: 1998-01-23
Granted: 2007-05-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for the automated inspection of objects for the presence of visual anomalies. The apparatus includes a first wide angle camera for acquiring an image of the object, a processor for detecting targets and generating target location from the image of the object, a two axis post-objective scanner associated with a high resolution camera for directing target image to the high resolution camera. The scanner provides a mechanism for saccadic emulation in combination with a high resolution video camera, which can be synchronized to the frame rate of the video camera for rapid high resolution examination of an object. The method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: capturing an image of at least a portion of an object; identifying visual anomalies as targets and detecting any targets on the object; generating location data for a detected target; emulating saccadic niovement to selectively capture a high resolution image of a target; and generating an output for analysis. The apparatus and method are particularly suited for the automated detection of defects, in particular parasites, in fish fillets. It is an advantage of the present invention that post-objective scanning permits the camera to remain stationary, while only the mirrors are moved, to acquire high resolution data of substantially only the targets, resulting in increased speed and reduced processing time.

Title: Method and apparatus for time division duplex pilot signal generation
Inventor: WEAVER LINDSAY A JR
IPC: H04W36/14
Filed: 1996-08-07
Granted: 2005-06-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a reliable means to perform handoff from a code division multiple access (CDMA) system using a pilot signal to an alternative access technique system. Simple pilot box circuitry (350) is added to a set of border base stations (C2A-C2R). The border base stations are base stations (C2A-C2R) which operate only in the alternative access technique and which have coverage areas which are contiguous with coverage areas of CDMA operation base stations (C1H-C1S). The mobile unit (10) monitors for the pilot signal from the border base stations (C2A-C2R) in the same manner as it monitors for pilot signals from the CDMA operation base stations (C1A-C1S). When the mobile unit (10) detects the pilot signal corresponding to a border base station (C2A-C2R), it notifies a system controller (202) in accordance with standard operation. The system controller (202) is aware that the pilot signal corresponds to a border base station and thus triggers a hand handoff process to the alternative access technique system in response thereto. The border base stations (C2A-C2R) use a time division duplex technique to monitor a pilot and synchronization sequence from a neighboring one of the CDMA operation base stations to obtain an estimate of absolute system time.

Abstract: A means of wearable viewfinder or display apparatus is described. The wearable viewfinder may be used by itself to give the wearer a feeling that the world is seen through a camera, or may be used with a wearable camera to actually take pictures. The wearable viewfinder is constructed so that it appears to others as ordinary eye-glasses. Some embodiments look just like ordinary unifocal eyeglasses, while others have the appearance of bifocal eyeglasses, trifocal eyeglasses, or progressive eyeglasses. Because of the wearer's ability to constantly see the world through the apparatus, the apparatus behaves as a true extension of the wearer's mind and body, giving rise to a new awareness of photographic composition at all times, whether shooting or simply imagining the process of shooting.

Abstract: A data transmitting apparatus corresponding to one of data transmitting apparatuses constituting a network. The data transmitting apparatus comprises a connection section, a signal receiving section, a transmission right acquisition section, and a signal transmitting section. The connection section is connected to a communication system including a terminal which operates in accordance with a protocol to transmit no signals while signals are transmitted through a data transmission path, to stop transmitting signals if the signals transmitted collide with other signals in the data transmission path, and to transmit the signals again after a period for preventing collision of signals has elapsed. The signal receiving section receives signals transmitted from the terminal or any one of the other data transmitting apparatus, the signals transmitted from the data transmitting path in a data format that accords with the protocol.      The transmission right acquisition section determines whether any one of the other data transmitting apparatuses holds transmission right for a prescribed period, from information representing an order in which the other data transmitting apparatuses should acquire the transmission right. The signal transmitting section transmits signals to the data transmission path in the data format that accords with the protocol, no matter whether signals exist in the data transmitting path when the transmission right acquisition section determines that the data transmitting apparatus has the transmission right, and without adjusting transmission timing when signals collide in the data transmission path, in order to prevent the signals to collide again in the data transmission path.
