Patent CA-2313844-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLAHUT DONALD EDGAR
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2000-07-11
Abstract: A single centralized video controller is employed to convert and distribute video channels to one or more analog TVs (i.e., viewing devices or the like). This is realized without the need for changes to either the TVs or the interconnecting COAX. Specifically, the centralized controller includes one or more MPEG2 decoders, the number of which depends on a desired number of active TVs to be used in viewing different programs, and one or more wireless (e.g., radio frequency (RF)) communications links to television controllers (i.e., remote control units) associated on a one-to-one basis with the desired number of TVs. In operation, channel selection for each of the one or more TVs is communicated up-stream from the centralized controller to a remote video server and, therein, to a video services controller. The video services controller causes the video server to transmit only the selected program channels to the local centralized video controller. However, when the video channel is already being supplied from the video server to an optical line terminal and, specifically, to an optical line card to which the requesting centralized controller is connected to, there is no need to communicate the channel request to the video server. The optical line terminal simply supplies the requested channel via an optical line card to the additional requesting centralized controller and, in turn, to the requesting TV.

Patent CA-2321028-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAYLOR MICHAEL J
IPC: G05B19/416
Filed: 1999-10-13
Abstract: A motion controller and a method of controlling the motion of a plurality of axes which prevents a discontinuous position command being generated to a follower axis. A follower mode transfer function circuit or routine generates a position command in response to a master axis position. This function can be in the form of electronic gearing or camming. A bias latch is utilized to offset any change in position resulting from a change in mode, such as changing from electronic gearing to electronic camming, changing cam profiles or gearing ratios, or changing the master axis. The latch is summed with the transfer function position command and a standard move command profile generator position command to provide the follower axis position command. The latch is recalculated each time the follower mode is changed. A halt command can be used to selectively block or enable an independent move command signal, allowing the follower axis to remain in motion when the follower mode is turned off (not following the master axis), or allowing the follower mode to be turned on while the follower axis is in motion without a sudden change in position. Trigger calculation circuitry is used to precalculate timing for activating the follower mode when follower mode is changed from off to on while the follower axis is already in motion such that the axes are in phase after ramping time.

Title: Jackbolts for multi jackbolt tensioners
Inventor: STEINBOCK ROLF H
IPC: B23P19/06
Filed: 1999-06-10
Abstract: Jackbolt (20) for a multi jackbolt tensioner embodies a thread construction which tapers from a maximum diameter adjacent to the torque receiving end (22) of the jackbolt (20) when threadedly engaged with a threaded opening in the outer peripheral part of a jackbolt body (38). The threads (26) of the jackbolt have a different thread pitch than the threads (36) in the jackbolt body (38) and the tooth flank of the jackbolt threads (26) form an angle with the tooth flanks of the threads (36) in the jackbolt body (38). By this thread construction, there is formed a helical volume of ever increasing size along the jackbolt commencing at a metal to metal relation at the torque receiving end (22). Stressing of the jackbolt (20) closes the helical volume bringing the threads (26) to a metal to metal load transfer relation. The end (28) of the jackbolt (20) has a protruding central end portion that elastically flattens under stress to reduce torque requirements.

Patent CA-2340501-A1 (CA)
Title: System, method, and program product for authenticating or identifying a subject through a series of controlled changes to biometrics of the subject
Inventor: RATHA NALINI K
IPC: A61B5/117
Filed: 2001-03-12
Abstract: This invention defines novel biometrics, called resultant biometrics. These resultant biometrics are a combination of traditional biometrics and some controlled change to the traditional biometric. That is, they are sequences of biometric signals over a short interval of time where the signals are modified according to some pattern. Resultant finger- or palm prints, for example, are consecutive print images where the subject exerts force, torque and/or rolling (controlled change) over an image acquisition interval of time. The physical way the subject distorts the images is the behavioral part of the resultant biometrics, the finger or palm print is the physiological part of the resultant biometric. An undistorted print image in combination with an expression of the distortion trajectory which can be computed from the sequence of distorted print images, forms a more compact representation of the resultant fingerprint. A template representing the resultant print biometrics is derived from the traditional template representing the finger- or palm print plus a template representing the trajectory. Other traditional biometrics also lend themselves to temporal modification and are described in the invention.

Patent CA-2344920-A1 (CA)
Title: Fuel economy booster
Inventor: BOURGON PIERRE
IPC: F02D17/04
Filed: 2001-04-27
Abstract: The Fuel Miser is designed to increase fuel economy. It is composed of three systems. The first is a thermally insulating plastic jacket. This will reduce fuel consumption caused by cold starts. The second is a system that shuts of the engine when it doesn't need to run. This will reduce fuel wasted by idling. The third is a new type of fuel system. This will increase the heat yield of the fuel.   First. a plastic heat jacket will thermally insulated the engine. This will greatly increasing the amount of time required for the engine to get cold. At least 24 hours. It will also reduce the amount of time required for the engine to reach operating temperature. This eliminates most of the fuel lost during cold starts. It will also make winter driving much warmer. This jacket will also be a good place to install guides for wires, vacuum lines and tubing. The insulation will also make it possible to mount wires and rubber tubing closer to the engine without the danger of heat damage. This will make the vehicle easier to assemble and service.   Secondly the PCM engine stops when the engine is not needed. Then restarts when the engine is needed. this will substantially reduce the amount of fuel wasted by idling.  The electric motor will also double up as an alternator. Since the engine is insulated, it won't get cold enough to need enrichment in most traffic.   A new fuel system I will call Sequential Direct Injection(SFI) will increase Chemical Kinetic efficiency of the engine. This is intended for gasoline engines only. The center of the injector pulse will be matched to the center of the intake stroke. Spraying fuel directly into the cylinders increases atomization because no fuel is collected on the top of the intake valve. In the same way SFI is more efficient than MPI. In MPI each injector squirts twice, during the intake and power stroke. SFI the injector only squirts during the intake stroke. Matching the middle of the pulse to the middle of the intake stroke increases atomization insuring maximum airspeed while the fuel is being injected.
