Abstract: In a device attached to a telephone line, power is provided by taking power from the telephone line when the device is off-hook.  When the device remains on-hook, power is maintained to the circuitry in the unit by a charge stored in a capacitor.  The capacitor charge is reduced to a level no longer able to sustain operation of the system, the device is briefly taken off-hook, allowing the capacitor to recharge.  This is performed either by discrete circuitry or by a microcontroller, and further includes provisions preventing the device from remaining off-hook for an unduly long period of time.

Title: Emergency lighting battery charging circuit
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES C
IPC: H02J7/02
Filed: 1996-07-04
Granted: 1999-09-21
Abstract: Battery charging circuits configured as a combination of current limited charging sources and a shunt regulating path to bypass current from a battery charging path through a low impedance path so that charge current can be regulated and terminated or controlled, the invention further includes combination of the circuits in emergency lighting systems utilizing conventional AC mains power in a non-emergency mode and DC battery power in an emergency mode, the battery being charged with regulation of charge current effected by said circuits when in the non-emergency mode. In the present circuits, current is by-passed from that portion of the circuit used for battery charging by provision of a low impedance alternate path through which current may also be supplied to non-emergency lamps, the alternate path supplanting prior art circuits which function by continuously turning a single path on and off for charge regulation. In primary embodiments, the circuits use the charging path to also drive the non-emergency lamps. Current through the alternate shunt regulating path drives the non-emergency lamps in the normal non-emergency mode without passing of the current through the battery.

Title: Loading device having multiple tongs for handling lumber and the like
Inventor: FOURNIER GERMAIN
IPC: B23Q7/00
Filed: 1996-09-16
Granted: 2000-06-20
Abstract: The loading device of the present invention is adapted for the high speed handling of lumber pieces, wherein the lumber pieces are fed side-by-side in bulk to the loading device by an inlet conveyor and are delivered by the loading device in a substantially constantly spaced relationship onto an outlet conveyor which carries the lumber pieces to another station, e.g. a classifier. The loading device comprises solely motorized mechanical components, including a number of synchronized camactuated tongs for picking up, grasping and transferring the lumber pieces from the inlet to the outlet conveyor. The tongs are mounted on a rotatable wheel and each displaced by a first cam system between open, closed and open positions thereof during each rotation the wheel. A second cam system operates stoppers at the inlet side of the loading device to allow the one-by-one access of the lumber pieces to the loading device with both cam systems being synchronized such that the lumber piece accesses the loading device as the tong appears at the inlet side, wherein the tong is in its open position prior to reaching the inlet side and is adapted thereat to pick up a lumber piece and to then move to its closed position until reaching the outlet conveyor where the tong is returned to its open position thereby releasing the lumber piece onto the outlet conveyor.
Patent CA-2194834-C (CA)

IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 1997-01-10
Granted: 2001-09-11
Abstract: An efficient, lossless, continuous-resolution representation (the "PM representation") of highly detailed geometric models for computer graphics specifies a succession of progressively more detailed polygonal meshes (i.e., "progressive meshes") as a base polygonal mesh and a sequence of complete mesh refinement transformations (eg., the vertex split transformation) that approximate the model at progressively finer levels of detail. Procedures for storing and transmitting geometric models using the PM representation address several practical problems in computer graphics: smooth geomorphing of level-of-detail approximations, progressive transmission, mesh compression, and selective refinement. An optimized mesh simplification procedure constructs the PM representation of a model from an arbitrary polygonal mesh, while preserving the geometry of the original mesh as well as its overall appearance as defined by its discrete and scalar appearance attributes such as material identifiers, color values, normals, and texture coordinates. In particular, the PM representation and these procedures preserve discontinuity curves such as creases and material boundaries of the geometric model.

Abstract: The invention concerns a golf buggy and a mobile transmitter unit which is carried by the golfer. The buggy and the transmitter unit each comprise a receiver and evaluating unit provided with a computer for a satellite-controlled positioning system. The two receiver and evaluating units calculate the respective position of the golfer and the buggy from the signals received cyclically from the satellite system. The mobile transmitter unit is provided with a high-frequency hand-held transmitter by means of which the positions of the golfer can likewise be transmitted cyclically to the buggy. In each case the buggy computer calculates the direction and distance of the golfer and stores these data until it travels the stored path in response to a signal. The buggy remains at a predetermined distance from the golfer. If a stationary reference transmitter, which corrects the golfer and buggy positi on data received from the satellite system, is also used, given areas of the golf course can be blocked off as areas in whi ch the buggy may not travel.

Granted: 2005-01-04
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for identifying and removing noise from borehole telemetry signals. A spectrum of the signal and of an approximated noise-free spectrum of the signals are generated and compared so as to identify frequencies at which noise occurs. The approximated spectrum is preferably generated by an averaging or integrating process which essentially results in a smoothened variant of the signal spectrum. The comparison includes dividing the signal spectrum by the approximated spectrum, and setting a threshold in the resulting dimensionless peak spectrum. The remaining parts of the peak spectrum are identified as noise. The dimensionless spectrum is found to have major advantages when having to identify noise frequencies.
