Patent CA-2389095-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUSIC TOM
IPC: B64C13/16
Filed: 2002-06-19
Abstract: An aeroplane 1 with a spiral inducing assembly 2 which is capable of inducing the aeroplane to travel in a continuous spiralling motion without the aeroplane rolling. Two fins 3 and 4 are attached to a tube 5 that is able to rotate around the encircled part of the fuselage. The fins 3, 4 are able to rotate in a pivoting manner on the rotatable tube 5 with respect to the rotatable tube 5, thereby changing their pitch relative to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable tube 5. Fin 3 is larger than fin 4. The difference in sizes between the fins makes the larger fin 3 exert a greater force on the rotatable tube 4 than the smaller fin 4 when the fins are pitched in unison. The aerodynamic imbalance between the fins thus causes the rotatable tube 5 to rotate. When pitched at an angle to the longitudinal axis in unison, both fins 3, 4 would exert a lateral force on the rotatable tube 5. Thus, as well as forcing the rotatable tube 5 to rotate, the fins 3, 4 would also push the rotatable tube sideways. But as the rotatable tube is pushed sideways, it rotates, and hence the lateral direction of push constantly revolves, causing a spiralling motion of the aeroplane when in flight.

Abstract: Three adjustable electrodes (33a-33c) within a chamber (40) form a thermal plasma generating system (30). The electrodes (33a-33c) are positioned with a narrow gap at one portion and a wide gap at another portion to form a cone shape. The gap between the electrodes is adjusted to accommodate for wear on  the electrodes (33a-33c). An electric arc is initiated at the narrowest poin t between two electrodes which moves over the length of the electrodes because  of a magnetic field created by the arc and the forward motion of the injecte d stream. At the end of the electrodes, the arc is extinguished and another ar c is initiated. The continuous are moving along the electrodes ionizes a worki ng stream that is tangentially injected from three pneumatic rings (35a-35c) which provide improved mixing of the working stream for high quality thermal  plasma. The thermal plasma exits through a narrow orifice (42).

Abstract: This invention is a validation protocol for determining whether an untrusted authentication chip is valid, or not. In another aspect it concerns a validation system for the protocol. The protocol may be used to determine the physical presence of a valid authentication chip. In this case a system may call the trusted chip to generate a random number and a digital signature for it, encrypt them with a first key and then call a prove function in the untrusted chip. The prove function decrypts the random number and signature, and calculates another signature from the decrypted random number, for comparison with the decrypted one. If the comparison is successful the random number is encrypted with another key and sent back. Finally, a test function is called in the trusted chip to generate its own encrypted version of the random number using the second key and then compare it with the received version to validate the untrusted chip. The untrusted chip may be associated with a consumable so that validation of the untrusted chip authenticates the consumable.

Title: Synchronisation de combineur de symboles apres un saut vers un nouvel alignement temporel
Inventor: NEUFELD ARTHUR
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2001-04-02
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé dans lequel une unité à distance (10A, 10B et 10C) dans un système de communication radio en mode synchronisé par tops d'horloge peut calculer un temps précis pendant toute sa phase active. Dans cette unité à distance (10A, 10B et 10C) une <= durée chronométrée >= est calculée à partir d'un compteur modulo-80 appelé compteur de temps combineur (224). Lorsqu'une unité à distance (10A, 10B et 10C) entre dans sa phase inactive, les compteurs contenus dans cette unité à distance (10A, 10B et 10C), y compris le compteur de temps combineur, sont désactivés. Lorsque l'unité à distance (10A, 10B et 10C) entre dans sa phase active, la valeur dans le compteur de temps combineur (224) peut ne pas être en phase avec le temps du mode synchronisé. Un contrôleur (106) situé dans l'unité à distance (10A, 10B et 10C) force le compteur de temps combineur dans la phase correct, ce qui a pour effet de placer le combineur (224) dans les 26.66 ms de la valeur correcte. Puis ce contrôleur détermine un décalage de combineur de façon à compenser toute erreur restante dans le compteur de temps combineur (224). Enfin le contrôleur peut utiliser le compteur de temps combineur (224) et le décalage du combineur pour calculer une durée chronométrée précise. Si nécessaire, comme à la limite d'un intervalle, l'unité à distance (10A, 10B et 10C) peut remettre le compteur combineur (224) à une valeur correcte, et mettre le décalage de combineur à zéro.

Abstract: A WCDMA communication system that can provide a smooth data transmission even in a case when the communication rate associated with a communication service requested by a user cannot be obtained due to a lack of resources. In such a case, only when a base station control station (2-1,2-2) can provide a service by use of a communication rate lower than the requested communication rate, instead of compulsorily setting to a lower alternative communication rate, the communication rate for actually effecting a data communication is adjusted between a switching center (1) and the base station control station (2-1,2-2).  As a method of this, an indicator that shows whether the communication rate can be adjusted or not is provided in an RAB setting request to be transmitted from the switching center (1) to the base station control station (2-1,2-2).  Only when the indicator shows that the communication rate can be adjusted, the base station control station (2-1,2-2) decides, in a case of a lack of resources, a communication rate lower than the requested communication rate, and transmits to the switching center (1) an RAB setting response with the decided communication rate included therein. According to this communication rate, a communication service for a user terminal (4) is commenced.
