Title: Device for protecting passengers on the chairs of a chairlift
Inventor: HINTEREGGER CHRISTOPH
IPC: B61B11/00
Filed: 2006-04-18
Abstract: A chair of a chairlift has at least one seat with a seat surface and a pivotable closing bar. When the closing bar is closed, its crossbar extends across the thighs of a passenger. The crossbar bears a locking mechanism, which reduces the distance between the crossbar and the seat surface. The locking mechanism has a contact surface, which extends substantially parallel to the crossbar and faces towards the seat surface and the distance of which from the seat surface is variable. The variability of the distance of the contact surface from the seat surface allows an automatic adjustment to the length of the legs and thickness of the thighs. This prevents large persons from being cramped by the locking mechanism, whilst ensuring that small persons are securely held.

Patent CA-2548736-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RHEE WONJONG
IPC: H04M3/30
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: Estimates of a communication system configuration, such as a DSL system, are based on operational data collected from a network element management system, protocol, users and/or the like. The operational data collected from the system can include performance-characterizing operational data that typically is available in an ADSL system via element-management-system protocols.  Generated estimates and/or approximations can be used in evaluating system performance and directly or indirectly dictating/requiring changes or recommending improvements in operation by transmitters and/or other parts of the communication system. Data and/or other information may be collected using "internal" means or may be obtained from system elements and components via email and/or other "external" means. The likelihood of a model's accuracy can be based on various data, information and/or indicators of system performance, such as observed normal operational data, test data and/or prompted operational data that shows operating performance based on stimulation signals. One example of such prompted data uses frequency carrier masks to approximate the Hlog of a given channel, including information regarding bridged taps, attenuation, etc.
