Title: Method and devices for cell loss detection in atm telecommunication devices
Inventor: MARGERM STEVEN DOUGLAS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: Methods and devices for detecting cell loss in telecommunication devices, such as ATM switches, attach cell loss detection information to cells in cell streams passing through the telecommunications devices. The cell loss detection information can trigger counters at up stream and down stream locations thereby avoiding the problem of synchronizing counters and ensuring that all cells to be counted have been flushed through the telecommunications device. The cell loss detection information can include a sequence number in a sequence of n sequence numbers where n is not a power of 2. Preferably n =2P-1, where P is an integer. Such series of sequence numbers allow the detection of lost cells in bursts consisting of a number of lost cells which is a power of 2. The methods and apparatus of the invention permit detection of unintentionally dropped cells in a call without the need to tear down the call.
Patent CA-2309286-A1 (CA)
Title: Progressing cavity pump production tubing having permanent rotor bearings/core centering bearings
Inventor: EVERETT MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: A method of limiting core deflection in the manufacture of relatively long sections of progressing cavity pump production tubing wherein a core is held within the bore of a length of tubular casing to provide a form for the molding of a stator element. The core is centered and stabilized within the tubular casing at selected intervals prior to the injection of elastomeric material by one or more core centering bearings. The bearings are effective to prevent core deflection during manufacture and, rather than being removed after curing of the stator, are left in the casing to function as rotor bearings for the progressing cavity pump. The bearings, themselves encapsulated by elastomeric material during the manufacturing process, help maintain the rotor in optimal alignment within the production tubing thereby benefitting pump performance and longevity.

Title: Method for forming film
Inventor: UENO TOMO
IPC: C23C26/00
Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: In a film-forming process comprising depositing a molecule composed of a plurality of atoms on a substrate or reacting the molecule with an atom in the substrate to produce a compound, an improvement which comprises generating plasma in an atmosphere of a mixed gas of the molecule with an inert gas having a metastable energy level higher than the energy required for transferring the molecule to an atomic state, to thereby dissociate the molecule into atoms in advance prior to forming a film. This eliminates the need for dissociation of the molecule on the substrate and allows the practice of the film-forming process at a low temperature.
Patent CA-2326336-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and radio communication system for allocating a radio channel
Inventor: SCHINDLER JURGEN
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 1999-03-25
Abstract: The invention relates to channel allocation in a radio communication system with time slots. The downlink radio channel (tsx) is allocated by the radio station (BS) depending on a channel allocation pattern (CAP) of a mobile station (MS) indicating the output power for the time slots. Allocation by the mobile station (MS) of the radio channel (tsx) is corrected under the control of the mobile station depending on an interference pattern (IP) indicating the interference power of the time slots. Output power is almost evenly distributed on the existing time slots by the radio station for downlink transmission by conducting allocation depending on time slot occupation in accordance with the channel allocation pattern. Soft-handover and its disadvantages are prevented when combined with mobile station controlled correction for the allocated time slot, even when the interference-critical frequency reuse spacing (cluster reuse) equals one.
