Abstract: An apparatus for cutting mineral-containing articles includes a table, blade support structure and a rotatable blade. The blade support structure has a cutting arm extending from the table that is capable of being moved in an arcuate cutting motion between an initial position away from the table and a cutting position toward the table. Where an article's longitudinal axis has a dimension that is less than the diameter of the rotatable blade, the apparatus is capable of cutting the article into two pieces in a single arcuate motion. The apparatus is also capable of deflecting dust created during cutting through the use of a guard member and an exhaust fitting connected to a vacuum pump.

Patent CA-2515705-C (CA)
Inventor: FARHADIROUSHAN MAHMOUD
IPC: G01K11/32
Filed: 2004-02-11
Granted: 2012-12-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de produire et de transmettre des impulsions optiques de haute énergie. Des capteurs thermiques répartis utilisent de manière générale l'effet Raman en matière de fibres optiques comme moyen pour déterminer la température. Selon l'invention, de la lumière provenant d'une source laser est envoyée de manière descendante sur une fibre et la faible quantité de lumière diffusée en retour vers la source est analysée. A mesure que la longueur de la fibre augmente, les résolutions de la température et les mesures de pertes deviennent plus faibles, ce qui est dû au fait que les pertes intervenant dans la fibre optique affaiblissent le signal. Une solution évidente pour remédier à ce problème est d'envoyer davantage de lumière dans la fibre, afin de compenser les pertes, mais l'effet Raman stimulé limite la quantité de lumière devant être envoyée. A cet effet, il est prévu, selon l'invention, pour pallier ce problème, d'utiliser le procédé de conversions d'impulsions afin de maximiser l'énergie pulsée qui en résulte, la puissance étant maintenue en dessous du seuil SRS.

Title: Multi-user adaptive array receiver and method
Inventor: ROY SEBASTIEN JOSEPH ARMAND
IPC: H04B1/06
Filed: 2005-01-31
Granted: 2014-07-08
Abstract: An array receiver which reduces complexity and cost by exploiting multiuser information in signals received from a plurality of transmitting users preprocesses (40) samples of antenna signals ( x1, x2..., xN) from the antenna elements (22/1,..., 22/N) to form basis signals (yO,..., yM) together having fewer space-time dimensions than the space-time dimensions of the combined antenna signals. The receiver processes and combines the basis signals to produce sets of estimated received signals (z0,..., zM), each for a corresponding one of the users. Each of the basis signals comprises a different combination of the antenna signals. The receiver combines the basis signals to provide a user-specific output signal, and periodically updates parameters of the filters (40/0,..., 40/M) used for deriving each particular basis signal such that each user-specific output signal will exhibit a desired optimized concentration of energy of that user's received signal as received by the array antenna.
