Patent CA-2116982-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of constant rate of production scheduling
Inventor: ENGELMAN HENRY
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1992-09-03
Abstract: A method which applies the critical path method to repetitive tasks having constant rates of production allows a user to plan a schedule and to track progress of repetitive tasks for large and complex jobs, with minimal data entry, and which is updatable to reflect actual job progress. Data for a template unit is transformed into a critical path method (CPM) network for an entire job by determining repetitive tasks (2) with their respective durations and precedence relationships for each additional unit in the job.. Precedence relationships between same tasks but different units are also considered (1100-1145). These latter precedence relationships take into account the movement of crews through units and/or the movement of units through work stations. Special constraints may be incorporated into the network in order to provide continuous work for the crews (1201-1213). The CPM network is used to calculate earliest and latest possible starting and finishing dates for each task performed on each unit (6). The planning schedule is produced in a concise, easily-interpreted format which is an improvement over traditional Gantt bar charts (7).

Patent CA-2120057-A1 (CA)
Inventor: URABE YOSHIO
IPC: H04B1/30
Filed: 1994-03-28
Abstract: A transceiver for transmitting and receiving a signal having the same frequency according to a time-division includes a local oscillator for generating a local signal having a first frequency, a frequency converter for converting the local signal into a carrier signal, a modulator for modulating the carrier signal by using a transmitting baseband signal so as to generate a transmitting signal having a second frequency, and a receiving section for receiving a receiving signal having the second frequency - which is the same as that of the transmitting signal. The frequency converter includes a fractional frequency converter for converting a signal having an input frequency into a signal having an output frequency.  The output frequency is n2/n1 times the input frequency, where n1 is an integer greater than 2, n2 is an integer greater than 1, n1 and n2 being relatively prime, whereby the second frequency of the transmitting signal is not any integral multiple of the first frequency of the local signal.  During a receiving operation of the transceiver, the operation of the frequency converter is terminated.

Title: Traveling Crane
Inventor: LONG HERBERT D JR
IPC: B66C9/16
Filed: 1994-04-19
Abstract: A gantry crane travelable along a pair of rails and having an overhead girder transverse to the direction of travel, first and second legs connected to the girder, a load carrying trolley movable along the girder to a first position adjacent the first leg and to a second position adjacent the second leg, first and second spaced apart motor drives mounted on one of the legs in engagement with one of the rails for moving the crane, and third and fourth spaced apart motor drives mounted on the other leg in engagement with the other rail for moving the crane.  When the trolley is at the first position, the first and second drives are highly loaded and the third and fourth drives are lightly loaded.      Thereby, the lightly loaded drives attempt to drive the second leg such that it leads the first leg and skews the crane.  When the trolley is at the second position, the third and fourth drives are highly loaded and the first and second motor drives are lightly loaded.   Consequently, the lightly loaded drives attempt to drive the first leg such that it leads the second leg and skews the crane.  A power source is connected to the first and third drives and a power source is connected to the second and fourth drives.   The power sources are responsive to the presence of the trolley at either its first or second position to provide a large portion of their electrical power to the highly loaded motor drives to prevent skew.

Title: Nucleophilic displacement method for synthesis of non-rigid pbz polymers
Inventor: INBASEKARAN MUTHIAH N
IPC: C08G75/32
Filed: 1992-01-10
Abstract: Azole rings, such as oxazole and thiazole rings, can activate an aromatic ring bonded to a leaving group such as a halogen atom so that the aromatic ring will undergo aromatic nucleophilic substitution. The reaction is useful for making ethers, thioethers and amines containing azole rings. In particular, monomers having azole rings, activated aromatic rings with leaving groups and nucleophilic moieties can react under conditions of aromatic nucleophilic displacement to form non-rigid rod PBZ polymers. The non-rigid rod PBZ polymers can be used to form molecular composites with rigid rod PBZ polymers which molecular composites are not substantially phase separated.

Further, the recorder extracts station identification information included in the broadcast signal for the selected channel, provides a VCR Plus guide channel corresponding to the station identified by the station identification information, and stores in its memory the relationship between the selected channel and the VCR Plus guide channel. Moreover, the recorder compares a remaining recording time available with the program continuation time extracted from the broadcast signal, and controls a recording speed mode appropriately based on the comparison.
Patent CA-2131260-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IYOB HANNIBAL
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1994-08-31
Abstract: Increased reliability for intelligent call processing systems is provided by collecting information from communications between the network database, the subscriber database, and the network switch. Message transfers between these network elements are monitored and correlated to identify those messages corresponding to a particular call. The messages for the call are analyzed to determine which database generated the instructions for routing the call. In particular, by comparing the routing number returned to the interexchange switch with the routing instruction information supplied by the subscriber's database, it can be determined whether the call was routed according to instructions from the subscriber's database.

Patent CA-2142846-A1 (CA)
Title: Device and method for precoding
Inventor: EYUBOGLU M VEDAT
IPC: H03M13/00
Filed: 1994-06-24
Abstract: An improved precoding technique (700) and device (100) allows transmission of a signal point sequence over a channel h(D) to provide efficient data transfer in the presence of intersymbol interference and noise at data rates approaching channel capacity. This improved technique works with trellis-coded modulation and with any signal constellation. Thus, the present invention simplifies shaping and allows signaling at fractional rates without constellation switching. A key advantage of the present invention over prior art is its ability to achieve reduced dither loss by selecting the output components of a mapper based on past components of a channel output sequence.
