Patent CA-2472705-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JARVI VEIKKO
IPC: E21D21/00
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: A yieldable rock fastener system has a pre-stressed seven-strand cable bolt with bulges at regular intervals.      The cable bolt is inserted into a hole bored into the rock face of a mine or tunnel. The cable bolt is bonded to the rock with grout. A sleeve is press-fitted onto the cable bolt outside the rock face such that the sleeve will only yield under a load exceeding a threshold force. In the event of a rock burst or a substantial displacement of rock, the rock will push outward against a washer plate sandwiched between the rock face and the sleeve. If the load exceeds the threshold force, the sleeve will controllably yield by slipping over the cable bolt until the sleeve abuts a stopper mounted to the cable bolt. The yieldable rock fastener system thus absorbs and controls rock bursts and other rock strata movements, thereby inhibiting cave-ins and collapses.

Title: Adaptive universal variable length coding for digital video content
Inventor: LUTHRA AJAY
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 2003-01-22
Abstract: A method and system of encoding and decoding possible outcomes of events of digital video content. The digital video content comprises a stream of pictures, slices, or macroblocks which can each be intra, predicted or bi-predicted pictures, slices, or macroblocks. The method comprises generating and decoding a stream of bits that represent the outcomes using entries in a lookup table that are periodically rearranged based on historical probabilities of the possible outcomes. The historical probabilities of the possible outcomes are computed by counting occurrences of each of the encoded and decoded outcomes in the stream of pictures, slices, or macroblocks. The periodic rearrangement of the entries in the lookup tables used by the encoder and the decoder is synchronized so that the stream of bits representing the encoded outcomes can be correctly decoded.
