Title: Dynamically controlled routing of calls in intelligent networks
Inventor: REGNIER JEAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-03-11
Abstract: An "Intelligent" telecommunications network comprises a plurality of switchi ng units interconnected by links, and connected to a central computer unit by a  data communication system. For dynamic routing of a call, a first switching unit responds to a destination address in a call to attempt a direct link to a neighbouring switching unit and, in the event that the attempt is unsuccessful, issues to the central computer unit a message containing the destination address. The central computer unit uses t he destination address to identify the unsuccessful link; (ii) updates a routin g database to identify the link as unavailable; (iii) determines an alternative route for the call using a tandem node and (iv) compiles a return message including a network address f or a tandem switching unit and transmits it to the first switching unit. The latt er attempts to route the call via a link to the tandem unit which attempts to complete the call by a direct link to the destination switching unit. The tandem node switching unit also queries the central computer if it cannot complete the call by a direct link to the destination switching unit, whereupon the central computer will set to zero the idleness  of the direct link which the tandem unit attempted and then determine an alternate route from the tandem unitto the destination, i.e. with the idleness factors of both direct  links set to zero, resulting in an alternate route having three links.

Patent CA-2233046-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLANCHETTE ROBERT A
IPC: D21C5/00
Filed: 1996-09-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of certain Basidiomycette fungi, in particular, white rot fungi, such as Phlebia tremellosa, Trichaptum biforme, Schizophyllum commune, and Phanerochaete gigantea, in preconditioning wood or pulpwood to yield a more uniform and more efficient process resulting in a higher quality product. Such treatment has been found also to increase the porosity of wood substrates, including particularly non-sterilized wood substrates. Such increases in porosity are accompanied by improved liquor penetration into the cells of the more porous wood or pulpwood in a subsequent chemical treatment process. Despite the fact that select white-rot fungi may deeply penetrate and leave voids where pitch and/or resin has been removed, or the cell wall has been modified, it has been found that such voids may have substantially no effect on the lignin content in the pulp or pulpwood.  Nevertheless, the resulting fungally-treated pulp, when thereafter subjected to chemical treatment, demonstrates increased brightness, increased yield and concomitant reduction in Kappa number, without significant decreases in viscosity. The invention also relates to a method for reducing the electrical energy consumption during the mechanical refining of wood or timber into pulp comprising inoculating at least one end of the wood or timber with a pitch reducing effective amount of a least one fungus selected from the group mentioned above and allowing the fungus to grow on and into the wood or timber for a time sufficient to reduce the pitch in the wood or timber, and then subjecting the thus treated wood or timber to mechanical refining.
Patent CA-2234857-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for reducing jitter in a desynchronizer
Inventor: AUTRY CHRIS B
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: An apparatus, to be used in a desynchronizer, for minimizing the output jitter of the desynchronizer. The desynchronizer is assumed to include a bit buffer for staging data that is to be output. The desynchronizer is also assumed to include a means for decoding the input signal to determine how justification opportunities in the input signal are used and therefore what justification bits must be leaked by the desynchronizer. The apparatus and method of the present invention uses the information about the incoming justification bits or incoming justification bytes and the state of the buffer to determine the longest possible time to wait before issuing a command to momentarily speed up or delay outputting the next data unit from the bit buffer. This speeding up or delay is caused by sending a clock signal to the bit buffer that is shifted in phase by a small amount, thereby spreading out the effect of an incoming positive or negative justification bit or byte over many periods of the output clock of the desynchronizer.
Patent CA-2237042-A1 (CA)
Title: A machine for winding film, a method of making spools of pre-stretched film, and spools of pre-stretched film obtained thereby
Inventor: MARTIN-COCHER JEAN-PAUL
IPC: B65H18/28
Filed: 1998-05-06
Abstract: The present invention relates mainly to a machine for winding film, to a method of manufacturing spools of pre-stretched film, and to spools of pre-stretched film obtained thereby.  The method of winding spools of pre-stretched stretchable film of the invention includes importing oscillation to the film, advantageously with a component perpendicular to the axis of the film.  For example, during pre-stretching and winding of the film on a take-up spool, a feed spool, i.e. a spool from which the stretchable film for stretching is taken, is caused to oscillate, and/or the take-up core is caused to oscillate.  This ensures that successive layers of film are offset, in particular at the margins of the film. Spools of film obtained in this way do not have portions of extra thickness and lower tension at the margins as is the case for prior art spools of pre-stretched film.  The present invention is mainly applicable to wrapping, with the film being paid out manually.

Patent CA-2254029-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FLETCHER ANDREW KENNETH
IPC: A47C19/00
Filed: 1998-11-30
Abstract: Introduction A major breakthrough in fluid circulation has shown that traditional or horizontal bed rest causes a negative affect on a person's health.        The invention is conceived in the absolute knowledge that gravity causes the fluids within a persons body to beneficially circulate, providing the body of such a person is aligned correctly to the directional pull of gravity.        Summary The design and purpose of the invention (A Bed) is such that it eliminates horizontal bed rest from the daily routine of a person who is the user of the invention. This is achieved by providing a bed, which slopes downward from the head part of the bed to the foot part of the bed, providing the occupant of the bed with an inclined or tilted sleeping / resting posture. The picture of the person, who is shown resting on an inclined bed, in the drawings pages 1-6, illustrates the desired posture.
Patent CA-2254543-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LARSSON PATRIK
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 1998-11-26
Abstract: Multiported register files used for storing coefficients in adaptive FIR are improved upon by implementing a split memory architecture that has the ability to separately control the least significant bits and the most significant bits of coefficient values that are stored in the filter. When the filter is operated to use so-called "burst mode" updating, the updating circuitry of the filter can be disabled and only the most significant bits of the coefficients are read out from the multiported register file while the least significant bits remain unchanged. This conserves power without sacrificing precision, since only certain ones of the bits of the coefficients are used in the multiplication of the sample. In addition, when only the most significant bits of the coefficients are being cycled through the register filter, any changing bits are prevented from being supplied to the updating circuit, so that the updating circuit performs no computation at all, rather than performing one that is discarded. Advantageously, using such improved multiported register files, adaptive FIR filters can be constructed which operate with lower power consumption.
