Patent CA-2114254-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HIRSH HANAVI M
IPC: H04M11/00
Filed: 1994-01-26
Abstract: In known systems which transmit complex verbal messages, the recipient of a voice message must manually transcribe the spoken words if a printed copy of the message is needed. When a message must be received immediately in text form, as in situations where the message will be manipulated or acted upon automatically by a receiving computer, the sender is required to enter the words via a keyboard. This invention provides a more efficient system that enables fluent natural speech to be used as input, with the spoken words being automatically transcribed and delivered to the recipient as text. The transcribed message can be communicated either as digital codes representing text or as binary digits representing an image of the text which can be received by standard facsimile equipment. The transcription process used is an adaptation of the continuous speech recognition system of my design which substantially reduces the computation involved in word recognition to make large vocabulary continuous speech recognition achievable on widely available computer equipment. In this novel use of that technology, some components of the process function on the sending terminal while the remaining computationally intensive components function on a powerful computer located either at the recipient's office or at an intermediate point in the facilities of the communication services provider. Because the expensive central computer services a large number of terminals, this configuration is unusually cost effective.

Title: Fiber optic attenuator
Inventor: WONG REN-SUE
IPC: G02B6/255
Filed: 1993-03-08
Abstract: A method for fabricating single-mode and multi-mode attenuators characterized by a high level of wavelength insensitivity. A light source (22) is connected to one end of a fiber (12b) and the other end (12a) is connected to an optical power meter (18). The optical power meter (18) is set to a 0 dB reference. The fiber (12) is then cut and the cut ends cleaved to define first and second segments. The ends of the segments are offset and overlapped by an axial distance that is large relative to the fiber diameter. The overlapping ends are heated so that they assume a fused state, and the relative axial positioning of the fiber ends while they are in the plastic state is adjusted to achieve the desired degree of attenuation, as indicated on the meter (18).

Patent CA-2135095-A1 (CA)
Title: Thigh high long hose
Inventor: BARDHAN BIBHUTI B
IPC: A41B11/00
Filed: 1994-11-04
Abstract: Women's nylon stockings or hoses or socks are of various lengths: tootsies, socks, knee-highs, thigh-highs, conventional lengths, panty-hoses, etc. Of these, one of the latest fashions or styles or vogues is the so-called "Thigh Highs" (one of the trade marks is "Stay-Ups"). The length of a "Thigh High" is about the middle of the thigh -- above the knee, but short of the conventional length. This "Thigh High" has all the looks -- stylish, smart, and even sexy, if you wish to call it so. However, it has a couple of drawbacks. This is supposed to be the reason why it has not caught on, at least not as much as was expected, according to some opinions floating around. This present invention deals with these problems in a practical and realistic way. The major problem, referred to above, is that this "Thigh High" keeps on slipping down the thigh, apparently because the thigh, in general, is conical in shape, tapering down. Hence the upper band of this "Thigh High" finds its easy way down from its intended place on the thigh, because of gravity as well as contraction and expansion of the thigh muscles, and worst of all, because of stamping of the feet down during normal daily activities. And, this is in spite of elastic rubber band or a state of the art gum-like "sticky" material inlaying the inner lining of the upper band of this "Thigh High". Another, rather an aesthetic, problem is the area of skin of the thigh lying "bare" between the said upper band of this "Thigh High" below and the lower hem of the Skirt above. Some ladies, no less modem, finds this rather immodest, if not indecent, in other words, not "lady like"! A strip of bare skin, especially in that particular location on the body, may appear to some as more suggestive than even baring the whole leg, thigh and all, such as in a swim suit or bikini, or strolling the beaches barefoot on a hot summer afternoon. Obviously, it is not what is shown, but, rather, what is suggested! This present invention overcomes the said problems or objections by having the upper border of this "Thigh High" being woven or sewn or attached onto the lower border of the upper part of a conventional hose cut up from the lower part at the level of the said upper border of the "Thigh High". This holds the "Thigh High" in position "covering" the underlying skin with a layer of nylons, which latter may be almost invisible, in any case. At least, no one can now say that the skin is "bare"!

Title: Bird feeder
Inventor: KENNEDY SAMUEL
IPC: A01K39/01
Filed: 1995-03-21
Abstract: This bird feeder has an outer casing and an inner casing. The outer casing is normally maintained by a compression spring assembly to locate at a chosen vertical position spaced from the top of the inner casing. Access openings are provided at the sides of the inner and outer casings which are aligned when the outer casing is in the normal position so that birds may gain access to the feed provided within the inner casing through the aligned opened feeding openings. The outer casing will displace relative to the inner casing to close the feeding openings by displacing the adjacent aligned openings between the inner and outer casings when an animal such as a squirrel having a body weight heavier than a bird is standing on the outer casing attempting to gain access to the feed. Thus it prevents the feed from being consumed by animals other than birds.
