Patent CA-2481636-A1 (CA)
Title: Technique for dynamically routing communication calls to information/call centers
Inventor: HUEY CHRISTOPHER A
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-09-15
Abstract: In providing an information assistance service, information assistance calls are routed through a telephone carrier switch to information/call centers for handling the calls. For each call, the carrier switch establishes a Voice over Internal protocol (VoIP) call session, and conducts handshaking with a redirect server in an information assistance system, e.g., in accordance with a session initiation protocol (SIP). In response to an Invite message to the redirect server, the redirect server provides a list of available call centers in a Multiple Choices response message to the carrier switch. The latter negotiates with ones of the call centers on the list to set up the VoIP call session.

Inventor: CAPWELL JOHN
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2003-04-18
Abstract: This is a substrate dependent circuit modeling system for substrate-mounted components (figure 10).

Title: Method and apparatus for lubricating bearings on a vertical shaft in a gearbox
Inventor: KOCHER ORVILLE C II
IPC: F16N7/36
Filed: 2004-10-13
Abstract: A right angle gear box includes a plurality of channels for carrying lubricating fluids to one or more upper bearing. Fluids in the gear box are naturally pumped through the channels by the rotation of gears in the gear box. The area between the shaft and the external housing is minimized to minimize fluid flow along the shaft encouraging flow through the channels instead. Lubrication of an upper bearing is therefore provided without the need for additional pumps, seals, or lubricants.
Patent CA-2485131-A1 (CA)
Title: Vibratory transducer
Inventor: DRAHM WOLFGANG
IPC: G01N9/00
Filed: 2003-05-07
Abstract: In order to guide a liquid, a measuring transformer comprises a measuring tu be (10) which vibrates in operation and is driven by an excitation arrangement (40). Oscillations on the inlet side and outlet side of the tube are detecte d by means of a sensor arrangement (50, 51). In order to produce shearing forc es in the liquid, the measuring tube (10) is at least temporarily excited durin g operation in order to create torsional oscillations about an imaginary measuring tube longitudinal axis (L). An inner element of the measuring transformer - which is formed by at least the measuring tube (10), the count er- oscillator (20), and the sensor and excitation arrangement (40, 51, 52) fixe d to the same, and is suspended at least from the input and output tube piece - has a centre of mass located inside the measuring tube (10). The inventive measuring transformer is suitable for a viscometer or a Coriolis mass flowmeter/viscometer, and is characterised, inter alia, in that, despite usi ng only one individual straight measuring tube, it is dynamically well counterbalanced in operation, and the production of bending torques on the side of the torsionally oscillating measuring tube (10) is largely prevented . Excitation of the likewise provided transformer housing (100) or the connect ed conduit, producingresonant oscillation, is also effectively prevented. Furthermore, possible measuring signals representing the mass flow rate can easily be distinguished from the measuring signals representing viscosity, especially even when using said sensors as when measuring viscosity.

Title: Registration error reduction in a tandem printer
Inventor: KNIAZZEH ALFREDO G
IPC: B41J2/325
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: A multi-head tandem printer (100) is disclosed which includes an optical encoder (160) or other device mounted on a roller (the "encoder roller") in contact with the print media (110). The device and encoder roller serve as a tachometer to measure the media transport speed (referred to herein as the "print speed"). The print heads (116a, 116b, 116c, 116d) are arranged so that the unloaded receiver length between two print heads is an integral multiple of the unloaded receiver length transported for each revolution of the encoder roller. In one embodiment, the print heads are arranged so that the inter-head spacing is an integer multiple of the circumference of the encoder roll.  Adjustments may be made to the inter-head spacing to take into account factors such as the thickness of the receiver and the curvature at the line of receiver contact with the encoder roll. Such techniques may be employed to reduce the effect of mechanical errors on color registration.
