Patent CA-2293121-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PLYASHKOV MIKHAIL IVANOVICH
IPC: B21B1/22
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: The invention relates to the rolling production, and can be suitably used in the metalworks utilised in the construction and mechanical engineering industries, and in other types of metalworks. A sheet structural material in its cross-section has boundaries of the front and rear sides. The material is implemented as having a structurally-predetermined thickness variation effected by a shaping operation. On the boundary of the front and/or rear side, and/or at least on one of the cross-section vertices, at least a portion of the cross-section boundary line is implemented in she form of a fragment of a conic section of a right circular cone. Such implementation of a sheet as having a structurally-predetermined thickness variation as effected by shaping operations allows to improve the manufacturability of the articles made of a sheet structural material and reduce the amount of materials consumed in manufacturing thereof through an optimal material strength distribution in a manufactured metalwork.

Patent CA-2307173-A1 (CA)
Title: Power converter control device and power converter thereof
Inventor: SONODA MICHIYOSHI
IPC: H02M1/00
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: When the fact that an over-current is flowing in the semiconductor devices of power converter (6) is detected by  Hall CT (11), abnormality detection unit (9) outputs an abnormality signal. If there is an abnormality signal from abnormality detection unit (9), gate breaking means (13) of gate driving unit (8) outputs a gate breaking signal to stop power converter (6). At the same time, the gate ON means maintains the gate signal of the semiconductor device that has become abnormal in the ON state and, after the current in the semiconductor device has become smaller than a specified value, the gate signal of the semiconductor device is rendered OFF by gate constriction device (12). By this means, the current flowing in the semiconductor device may be reduced prior to the gate breaking operation being performed.

Inventor: ZINN LES
IPC: B07B1/04
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: An apparatus and method for separating plastic material from a shredded compost-plastic mixture. The compost plastic separation unit is comprised of various stages including first and second stage separation units. After initial separation of larger organic material from the shredded compost-plastic mixture, the mixture is sequentially delivered to a first stage separation unit where a coarser compost component is separated from the mixture. The lighter fine compost and plastic components are drawn into a pipe by suction and subsequently transported to the second stage separation unit by an air stream. The heavier coarse compost component which is not drawn into the pipe exits at the base of the first stage separation unit under the force of gravity. At the second stage separation unit, plastic material is further separated from the fine compost.
Patent CA-2310368-A1 (CA)
Title: Sample timing control for demodulation of phase-modulated signals
Inventor: GOEDDEL THOMAS WILLIAM
IPC: H04L27/18
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: A phase-modulated signal such as a quadrature phase-shift-keyed (QPSK) signal in a wireless communication system is demodulated using sample timing based at least in part on frequency information generated by frequency demodulating the phase-modulated signal. The phase-modulated signal is separated into first and second portions, the first portion is phase demodulated to generate demodulated symbols, and the second portion is frequency demodulated to generate, e.g., a measure of the instantaneous frequency of the phase-modulated signal. The instantaneous frequency measure is processed to identify one or more symbol transitions, and the identified transitions are used to establish the sample timing such that proper sampling of the symbols is ensured.

Title: Navigational apparatus using visual description of the route
Inventor: RUSS PETER
IPC: G01C21/20
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a navigation system and to a method of providing a visual image of a route between a first position and a second position by calculating an optimised route through a plurality of adjacent points between the two positions. The system includes a plurality of video clips, each video clip representative of a route between two adjacent points.  The video clips may be an actual video of the route or may be artificially generated. A user selects a destination from either their current or nominated starting position. A processor calculates an optimised route between said two locations using adjacent points and then displays on a visual screen a continuous video image corresponding to the route between the two locations by using the individual videos between the calculated adjacent points. The user can also nominate specific locations that they wish their route to pass through and can also nominate more than one final location.

Filed: 2001-02-05
Abstract: A cassette sensing mechanism and a method for detecting the unevenness of a surface by detecting the difference between two paths on the surface The mechanism contains two pawls connected to a connector at one end. The second end of one pawl contacts a portion of one path on the surface, and the second end of the other pawl contacts a portion of the other path on the surface. One path is smooth, and the other path contains grooves. A sensor on one pawl senses the relative position of the other pawl.

Title: Reusable mask and method for coating substrate
Inventor: KADUNCE RANDY R
IPC: B05B15/04
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: A mask article (12) and method of coating are provided whereby coating is deleted from one or more portions of a substrate like transparencies during a coating operation. The mask is a semi-rigid device having two major generally opposing surfaces (14, 16) and one or more sides (18) between such surfaces with at least one one-piece edge. The side(s) slope inward toward the interior of the solid part of the mask at an angle from the horizontal plane of the larger major surface (14) of the mask up to the slope of the side from greater than 0~ to less than 90~. This inward slope is somewhere along the side between the larger major surface and the smaller major surface (16). The sloping segment of the side should extend a distance sufficient to provide an adequate edge at the mask-coating-substrate interface to reduce the ghosting effect. The surface area of the larger area surface has the configuration of the shape of a deletion for the coating. The mask is adapted for secure placement on the substrate during the coating process and removal therefrom after the coating process. This is accomplished either by the weight of the mask itself or from the use of at least one friction enhancing member (34, 36, 38) present on the mask. With the presence of friction enhancing member(s) on the mask, recesses (28, 30, 32) are also optionally provided on the mask. The number, size, configuration and location of the recesses and friction enhancing members assist in the stackability of a plurality of the masks.  After one or more coatings are applied to the masked substrate, the masks can be removed and conveyed to the beginning of coating operation to mask other substrates. After a number of such cycles the masks can be cleaned of coating and reused.
