Title: Method and device for lining a sewer pipe
Inventor: WARREN DARCY
IPC: F16L55/165
Filed: 2003-05-05
Abstract: An assembly for introducing a pipe liner into a sewer pipe includes a launcher defining a passageway through which a resin impregnated pipe liner and bladder tube assembly passes. An inflatable member mounted to the launcher assembly is actuatable between an inflatable condition and a deflated condition. The pipe liner and bladder tube are secured in place by expanding the inflatable member outward against the inner surface of the sewer pipe. Air pressure drives the bladder tube and pipe liner into the sewer pipe and the bladder tube remains in place until the pipe liner hardens.

Title: Synchronisation d'images photographiques dans un systeme tactile photographique en vue d'ameliorer la determination de position des objets en deplacement rapide
Inventor: WORTHINGTON STEVE
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: Un système tactile de caméras comprend au moins une paire de caméras présentant des champs superposés et une surface tactile contenue dans les champs superposés à travers lesquels se déplace une aiguille. Les caméras de la paire minimale acquièrent des images, à intervalles asynchrones. Afin d'estimer la position de l'aiguille par rapport à la surface tactile des données d'image acquises par la paire minimale de caméras, les images sont synchronisées de manière synthétique. Au cours de ce processus, pour chaque caméra de la paire de caméras, chaque image acquise est traitée pour déterminer la position de l'aiguille. Également, la position de l'aiguille est enregistrée avec une estampille temporelle représentant la durée écoulée entre un point de référence commun aux caméras et la durée d'acquisition de l'image. Des paires successives de positions enregistrées font l'objet d'une interpolation pour produire des positions par interpolation et ces positions interpolées sont enregistrées avec les durées de synchronisation qui représentent les durées d'acquisition des images, caméras synchronisées. Les positions interpolées produites par les caméras qui présentent des durées de synchronisation associées équivalentes sont déterminées, et ces positions interpolées font l'objet d'une triangulation pour estimer la position de l'aiguille par rapport à la surface tactile.
Patent CA-2438182-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DEJACO ANDREW P
IPC: G10L19/14
Filed: 2002-02-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing coding efficiency by reducing illegal or other undesirable packet generation while encoding a signal. The probiability of generating illegal or other undesirable packets while encoding a signal is reduced by first analyzing a history of the frequency of codebook values selected while quantizing speech parameters. Codebook entries are then reordered so that the index/indices that create illegal or ther undesirable packets contain the least frequently used entry/entries. Reordering multiple codebooks for various parameters further reduces the probability, that an illegal or ther undesirable packet will be created during signal encoding. The method and apparatus may be applied to reduce the probability of generating illegal null traffic channel data packets while encoding eight rate speech.
