Patent CA-2385499-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHENNIB ADNAN
IPC: H04R29/00
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un dispositif portatif (10) comportant un transducteur audio (par exemple un HP 11) émettant des stimuli acoustiques pour tester un sujet placé à une distance donnée dans le champ sonore direct du dispositif. Ce dernier émet des stimuli à plusieurs niveaux et plusieurs fréquences auxquels le sujet testé tenant le dispositif (10) à la main donne une réponse subjective. Un détecteur de position à ultrasons (12) placé dans le dispositif en détermine la position par rapport à la tête ou une partie d'intérêt de la tête (4) du sujet qui tient le dispositif. Les stimuli acoustiques sont commandés et réglés en fonction de la position du dispositif par rapport au sujet; ainsi les niveaux précis des stimuli ne sont-ils émis que quand le dispositif se trouve à la distance requise, quelque soit sa position exacte par rapport à la tête (4) du sujet.

Patent CA-2388069-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROSEY STEVEN A
IPC: H04N21/236
Filed: 2000-10-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé d'extraction de messages à partir d'un flot de données. Cet appareil présente une capacité de fonctionnement multitâche permettant de recevoir un nombre important de flots de données et de combiner des données à partir de différents flots. Un extracteur de messages comprend un filtre d'identification de paquets, un processeur de messages de commande et deux tampons, chaque tampon étant divisé en une pluralité d'emplacements d'adresses associés à une pluralité de voies. Un tampon est utilisé pour stocker des parties de messages extraits, l'autre tampon étant utilisé pour stocker des données d'état correspondant à ces parties de messages extraits. Le processeur de messages de commande comprend un processeur de messages unique partagé par toutes les voies d'extraction de messages associées au dispositif. Pendant leur filtrage et leur capture, les parties de messages sont stockées dans le premier tampon, les données d'état étant stockées dans le second tampon. Lorsque des parties de messages supplémentaires sont reçues, le système utilise des données d'identification dans le flot de données pour faire correspondre les nouvelles parties de messages avec les parties de messages déjà reçues et stockées, d'où la formation de messages complets. Un extracteur de messages à fonctionnement multitâche permet de réduire le coût du rendement étant donné qu'il ne requiert qu'un seul extracteur de messages relié à une mémoire RAM moins coûteuse au lieu d'exiger une augmentation du nombre d'extracteurs de messages.

IPC: H05B37/03
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: An apparatus and method for cycling power to a HID ballast and amp in order to reduce the possibility of arc tube rupture or non-passive end of life light source failure with a warning indicator indicating impending momentary power outage.  The apparatus comprises a lamp, a ballast, and a microcontroller operable to generate a warning indicator after expiration of a pre-selected period of time. The warning indicator indicates termination of power to the lamp for a pre-determined period of time, by alternatively dimming and increasing the light output of the lamp.
