Patent CA-2471707-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUCHERT RYAN SAMUEL
IPC: H04B1/7093
Filed: 2002-12-19
Abstract: An apparatus and method for data processing particularly useful in combining convolutions of the spreading code, scrambling code and channel response in order to construct a system transmission coefficient matrix, while maintaining the same circuit size and execution time relative to performing each convolution separately. One register (200) for processing real channel response values and a second register (100) for processing imaginary channel response values, are used for moving channel responses through the convolution. In place of multipliers, an optimized minimum number of adders ( A12-A13; A25-A28) connected in a pyramid configuration are used to perform the necessary multiplication of the codes, for simplicity of construction. By including the channel code transformation from binary representation to complex representation as part of the overall method, unnecessary adders are eliminated from the apparatus.

Abstract: "It is well known that almost all households have plastic storage bins which they use for storage, sorting of toys and many other uses. When an individual stores items in these bins it is difficult to know what is inside each bin without opening each one. Some of the bins being produced now are clear in colour hoping to alleviate this problem. But the reality is that it is often still difficult to identify what is inside the bin. So many people either tape paper to the bin or use small sticky papers but they all peas off over Time. The other option is to to write on the bin with permanent marker but if you want to change what is inside the bin - it ruins the bin. We have developed a product square in shape with an opening on the top. The back has a very adhesive tape on it and is to be stuck to the plastic bins. An the opening at the top, the customer can write on the pre-cut pieces of paper the contents of the bin or they can print them on their computer. They then simply insert it inside the plastic label and now the contents of the storage bin are identified. The plastic label wilt stick permanently (though it can be pulled off if necessary) and the customer can change the piece of paper every time the contents of the bin changes."

Patent CA-2486983-A1 (CA)
Title: Trowel gearbox brake
Inventor: JENKINS MICHAEL
IPC: F16D55/02
Filed: 2004-11-04
Abstract: A brake of a concrete finishing trowel responds automatically to the cessation of drive torque delivery to the rotor to actively brake the trowel's drive train, hence inhibiting or preventing frame rotation. The brake preferably takes advantages of inherent characteristics of an inclined gear, such as a worm of a gearbox, to permit an internal component of the gearbox to shift automatically upon the cessation of drive torque therethrough from a brake released position to a brake engaged position. In the case of a worm gear-based gearbox, the worm is configured such that reaction forces that are normally generated by the delivery of drive torque therethrough shift the worm to release the brake during normal trowel operation. These forces are eliminated in the absence of drive torque transfer, permitting the worm to shift to a brake engaged position.
