Patent CA-2792525-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAVIS MICHAEL A
IPC: G01B17/00
Filed: 2011-03-09
Abstract: New techniques are provided for measuring the thickness of a pipe wall using ultrasonic reflections. The apparatus includes a signal processor that receives a signal containing information about ultrasonic pulses injected into a pipe wall; and determines a pipe wall thickness measurement based at least partly on decomposing the signal received in order to identify either peaks using a cepstrum analysis or repeated spacing using a wavelet analysis. The wavelet analysis includes dividing data in the signal received into a specific frequency component and a defined temporal component in order to detect correct pulses where multiple reflections are caused by irregularities in the pipe wall surface being measured. The cepstrum analysis includes processing repeating pulses in the signal in order to detect correct pulses where multiple reflections are caused by irregularities in the pipe wall surface being measured.

IPC: A61N1/32
Filed: 2011-02-18
Abstract: An improved implantable pulse generator (IPG) containing graceful shutdown circuitry is disclosed. A magnet sensor senses the presence of an emergency shutdown magnet. Output of the magnet sensor is conditioned by a signal conditioning circuit. Output of the signal conditioning circuit is delayed by a delay element before being fed to a power cut-off switch, which cuts-off power to the IPG circuitry. An interrupt signal is routed from before the delay element to the IPG processor as an indicator of imminent shutdown. The processor launches shutdown routine that carries out shutdown operations such as logging the emergency shutdown event, saving and closing open files, saving data from volatile memory to non-volatile memory, etc., before the power cut-off switch is activated upon elapsing of delay provided by the delay element. The magnet sensor, signal conditioning circuit, and delay element are powered separately from the rest of the circuitry of the IPG.

Title: Telescopic awning/carport enclosure
Inventor: SCARLETE MIHAI V
IPC: E04B1/343
Filed: 2013-01-03
Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution for a permanent house-extension involving the reversible transformation between an awning and a car port. The invention provides a solution for complying with most of the diverse municipal bylaws governing the restricted use of removable carports during winter months, and regarding the front-retreat regulations for buildings. The invention consists of a telescopic structure, based on a series overlaying sections that can roll onto each other on individual parallel tracks. The structure allows extension to the size of an enclosure adapted to the length of a car, and can be reversibly rolled back in the overlaid stacked position to reduce the total length of the structure to the size of an awning permanently attached to the house. The structure improves the present design for telescopic structures due to its simultaneous utility in both the extended and retracted states. Each of the individual sections is positioned on individual tracks on a set of wheels engaging each section to its own corresponding track.  The sliding motion can be manually driven or can be motorized. The tracks are fixed into the ground or on the foundation structures, and can have parallel linear or regularly curved shapes. The cover-top can be continuous or can be profiled with discontinuities to accommodate wing pressure. The invention provides a permanent extension to a house, as an alternative solution to the existent removable carports, and provides in addition improved aesthetics, as well as extra value for the homeowner and for the municipality in the form of potential taxable revenue.
Patent CA-2803508-A1 (CA)
Title: De-blocking filtering control
Inventor: NORKIN ANDREY
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2011-02-01
Abstract: A block-specific filter decision value is calculated for a pixel block (10) in a video frame. If the block- specific filter decision value is below a block-specific threshold, each row or column (12) in the block (10) is individually processed in order to select between a strong and a weak de-blocking filter. A respective line-specific filter decision value is thereby calculated for each row or column (12) in the block (10) and compared to a line-specific threshold. If the line-specific filter decision value calculated for a row or column (12) is below the line-specific threshold a strong de-blocking filter is selected for the row or column (12), otherwise a weak de-blocking filter is instead selected to combat any blocking artifacts.

Title: Document order management via relaxed node indexing
Inventor: BOYER JOHN M
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 2013-05-06
Abstract: An illustrative embodiment optimizes a comparison function using two nodes of a parse tree to indicate which node comes earlier, where earlier means a respective node would be visited earlier if a pre-order visiting left-to-right depth first search were performed. The method receives an assignment of distinct index values for each existing DOM node, assigns a distinguishable index value to each new DOM node to be inserted and performs a document order comparison to determine an earlier of a first given DOM node and a second given DOM node, using the assigned respective index value of each node. When the document order comparison request can be satisfied, the method selects as the earlier DOM node one of the first given DOM node and the second DOM node. Otherwise, the method selects the earlier DOM node using a secondary comparison method.

Patent CA-2827703-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZAHNISER MICHAEL
IPC: G02B21/00
Filed: 2007-11-27
Abstract: Method for determining quality of focus of a digital image of a biological specimen includes obtaining a digital image of a specimen using a specimen imaging apparatus. Measure of image texture is calculated at two different scales, and the measurements are compared to determine how much high-resolution data the image contains compared to low-resolution data. The texture measurement may, for example, be a Brenner auto-focus score calculated from the means of adjacent pairs of pixels for the high-resolution measurement and from the means of adjacent triples of pixels for the low-resolution measurement. A score indicative of the quality of focus is then established based on a function of the low-resolution and high-resolution measurements, and may be used by an automated imaging device to verify that image quality is acceptable, or to adjust the focus and acquire new images to replace any deemed unacceptable.
