Patent CA-2572805-C (CA)
Title: Audio signal decoding device and audio signal encoding device
Inventor: CHONG KOK SENG
IPC: G10L19/032
Filed: 2005-06-28
Granted: 2013-08-13
Abstract: In the conventional art inventions for coding multi-channel audio signals, three of the major processes involved are: generation of a reverberation signal using an all-pass filter; segmentation of a signal in the time and frequency domains for the purpose of level adjustment; and mixing of a coded binaural signal with an original signal coded up to a fixed crossover frequency. These processes pose the problems mentioned in the present invention. The present invention proposes the following three embodiments: to control the extent of reverberations by dynamically adjusting all-pass filter coefficients with the inter-channel coherence cues; to segment a signal in the time domain finely in the lower frequency region and coarsely in the higher frequency region; and to control a crossover frequency used for mixing based on a bit rate, and if the original signal is coarsely quantized, to mix a downmix signal with an original signal in proportions determined by an inter-channel coherence cue.

Title: Method and system for providing access to information on an article to which a tag is coupled
Inventor: ISHIGAKI YOSHINOBU
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 2005-07-13
Granted: 2014-06-10
Abstract: A method and system for providing access to information on an article to which a tag is coupled. A local server reads the tag containing a virtual ID that includes an encryption of a bit string. The bit string includes an article ID containing a manufacturer ID. The local server is coupled to an ONS server, an ONS proxy server, and a PML server via a network. The local server sends to the ONS proxy server an ONS service request that includes the virtual ID and requests a network address of the PML server. The local server receives, from the ONS server, the network address of the PML server. The local server sends to the PML server, at the network address of the PML server, a PML  information request that includes the virtual ID and requests article information. The local server receives, from the PML server, the article information.

Title: Configurations and methods for lng regasification and btu control
Inventor: MAK JOHN
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 2005-12-13
Granted: 2011-05-24
Abstract: LNG is pumped to supercritical pressure and vaporized, preferably in an offshore location to thereby form a natural gas stream with an intermediate temperature. A first portion of that stream is then processed in an onshore location to remove at least some non-methane components to thereby form a lean LNG, which is then combined with a second portion of that stream to form a sales gas having desired chemical composition. The intermediate temperature and the split ratio of the gas stream in first and second portion are a function of the concentration of the non-methane components in the LNG.

Title: Device and method for communication between a control system for small internal combustion engines and an external computer
Inventor: OLSSON JOHAN
IPC: F02D41/26
Filed: 2006-03-28
Granted: 2014-08-26
Abstract: By incorporating digital control systems for ignition of, and to some extent for fuel injection in, small internal combustion engines, opportunities have been created for the connection of external computers, in order thereby to be able to change the characteristics of the control system, as well as to be able to read operational data from the same. The operational data may be e.g.  operating time and trip meter. The method according to the invention means that a combined communication port and stop entry is created, which will result in a cost-effective implementation of the communication interface when a stop entry with an associated transient protection already exists.

Title: Propane-1,3-dione derivative or salt thereof
Inventor: HIRANO MASAAKI
IPC: A61K31/4184
Filed: 2006-03-30
Granted: 2011-07-26
Abstract: It is intended to provide a compound useful as a GnRH receptor antagonist. The inventors further investigated propane-l,3-dione derivatives. As a result, they confirmed that a compound having a benzene ring or a thiophene ring substituted with a group represented by -S02-R3 in a propane-1,3-dione derivative having 2-(1,3-dihydro-benzimidazol-2-ylidene) has an excellent GnRH receptor antagonistic effect and accomplished the present invention. Because the compound of the present invention has a potent GnRH receptor antagonistic effect, it is useful for the treatment of sex hormone--dependent diseases, particularly GnRH-related diseases. Further, because the compound of the present invention has an excellent metabolic stability in human and few drug interactions, therefore it has preferable characteristics as a pharmaceutical used for the above-mentioned diseases.

Title: Irrigation/aspiration tip
Inventor: HONG KAREN
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 2008-01-07
Granted: 2013-09-17
Abstract: An irrigation/aspiration tip having a relatively rigid cannula attached to a hub and an open end opposite the hub. Coaxially and removable received over the tip is a soft elastomeric or rubber sleeve. The sleeve forms a gap between the sleeve and the cannula, the gap allowing irrigation flow. The distal end of the sleeve is closed by a cap of reduced diameter. The reduced diameter of the cap seals the distal end of the cannula. The relatively soft cap reduces the likelihood that the posterior capsule will tear during cortical clean-up and capsule polishing. Removing the sleeve allows the cannula to be resterilized an unlimited number of times, thereby allowing unlimited reuse of the cannula.
