Title: Hyper-concatenation across multiple parallel channels
Inventor: GAGNON RONALD J
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2001-02-22
Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: A signal processor is adapted for aligning two or more hyper-concatenated data streams, each data stream being conveyed within a respective parallel channel and having substantially equivalent bit and frame rates. The signal processor comprises a respective channel processor for each channel for processing a respective data stream.  Each channel processor includes a framer, a memory, an interface, and an output timer. The framer generates a local strobe signal indicative of a timing of incoming frames of the respective data stream. The memory buffers incoming bits of the respective data stream. The interface selectively sends the local strobe signal to, and receives a master strobe signal from, an adjacent channel processor.  The output timer controls a timing of outgoing bits of the respective data stream based on a selected one of the local and master strobe signals.

Abstract: Ce procédé permet de fournir un courant continu en utilisant un produit en acier formant cathode à l'intérieur de béton précontraint, une anode étant disposée en un endroit du béton et/ou en un endroit à l'intérieur du béton. On applique entre les électrodes une tension supérieure à un potentiel de génération d'hydrogène. En l'occurrence, la tension effective se portant sur l'acier de précontrainte du béton ne fait pas plus de 80 % de la résistance à la traction de l'acier de précontrainte.

Abstract: The invention aims to provide a method for preparing a composite substrate which has minimized surface asperities on a dielectric layer, which are otherwise developed under the influence of an electrode layer, unevenness upon printing, and surface roughness inherent to thick-film dielectrics, which eliminates a need for a polishing step, which is easy to manufacture, and which is applicable to the fabrication of a thin-film light-emitting device of high display quality, as well as the resulting composite substrate and a thin-film EL device using the same. The object is attained by a method for preparing a composite substrate, comprising the steps of forming at least an electrode and a green dielectric layer according to a thick-film technique on an electrically insulating substrate, thereby providing a composite substrate precursor, smoothing the surface of the precursor by WIP process, and firing to complete the composite substrate, as well as the resulting composite substrate and a thin-film EL device using the game.

Patent CA-2360199-C (CA)
Inventor: SORENSEN SOREN CHRISTIAN
IPC: A63H33/08

Granted: 2006-11-28
Abstract: Square and octagonal building elements for a set of toy building elements that are capable of being inteconnected in a releasable engagement both side-to-side and top-to-bottom. The side walls of the building elements include a groove and/or a split flexible tongue that is compressed when frontally forced into a groove in another such building element to effect a releasable restraining frictional engagement within the groove. The degree of frictional engagement provided by compression of the tongue when a distal portion of the tongue resides in a base region of the groove is such as to enable a stationary relative disposition of a pair of so engaged building elements to be varied precisely by smoothly sliding the tongue of one of the pair of engaged building elements within the groove of the other of the pair of engaged building elements, and also is such as to provide enough resistance to sliding as to maintain the stationary relative disposition when one of the pair of engaged building elements has the top of its engaged side wall disposed at a greater height than the top of the engaged side wall of the other of the pair of building elements. The tongues and the grooves are also dimensioned so that less force is required to effect engagement by frontally pressing the building elements together than is required to effect disengagement by frontally pulling the building elements apart.

Title: Fluid heating and control system
Inventor: SEITZ DAVID
IPC: H05B3/02
Filed: 2000-06-15
Granted: 2009-10-27
Abstract: A control of an instantaneous flow-through fluid heater system (1000) that incorporates a logic control method providing modulation of power in small steps to a plurality of heating elements (5) retaining responsiveness to closed-loop control needs without inducing light flicker. The life of the coils of heating circuit electromechanical relays are extended by energizing the coils with a pulse-width-modulated drive decreasing in duty cycle and thus the latent coil heat when an increase in mains voltage is sensed. The life of the contacts of same relays are extended by inhibiting heating element triac drive immediately upon sensing loss of relay coil power, such as by an over temperature limit switch (8) opening, thus ensuring that relay contacts open with zero heating element current.

Title: Metering valve
Inventor: ALLEN THOMAS E
IPC: F16K21/00
Filed: 2002-05-31
Granted: 2007-03-20
Abstract: A metering valve for metering dry powder material such as cement. The interior of the valve housing is expanded outward beginning at the sealing surface or lip located adjacent to the inlet opening, thereby forming an enlarged gap between the valve sleeve and housing to discourage powder accumulation in the gap and interference of large bulk particles and foreign materials with the sleeve and housing. An eccentric intermediate sleeve aligns the valve sleeve relative to the housing prior to rotation of the valve sleeve by either moving the valve sleeve away from or toward the valve inlet. The valve sleeve has a rubberized layer to seal with the housing's sealing surface or lip. A sleeve shield blocks entry of powder into the mouths of the vacuum breakers to prevent plugging of the vacuum breakers. Ball bearings are employed to suspend the valve sleeve within the housing, making the valve sleeve easier to rotate.
