Title: Method and apparatus for regenerating the symbol clock of a cellular telephone following a sleep cycle
Inventor: PEPONIDES GEORGE M
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 1996-04-10
Abstract: A method for reducing power consumption in a cellular telephone by placing the receiver in a sleep mode when it is determined that the received signal has a sufficiently high quality. The duration of the sleep mode is extended by eliminating the need to resynchronize the receiver clock to the transmitter clock using dotting sequence and synchronizing data in the transmitted control data received after a sleep cycle. This is accomplished by resynchronizing the phase of the symbol clock to the phase of the transmitter clock after a sleep cycle utilizing the respective phase relationships to a low frequency, low power maintenance clock in the receiver which maintains time (and hence edge information) during the sleep mode until reception of the next data frame must begin. The maintenance clock is preferably an off-the-shelf oscillator of the type used in wrist watches. At a specified tick of this clock, which is known to the receiver before it goes to sleep, the high-speed system clocks are turned on in preparation for reception of the next frame of data. Since the phase relationship of the symbol clock to the maintenance clock prior to the sleep mode was known, the phase of the symbol clock is readily recreated after the sleep cycle from the known phase of the maintenance clock, which is never turned off.
Patent CA-2176883-A1 (CA)
Title: Railcar location using mutter networks and locomotive transmitter during transit
Inventor: PRADEEP ANANTHA KRISHNAN
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1996-05-17
Abstract: A method of tracking railcars in transit using global positioning techniques involves determining the location of a railcar by using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and a satellite transceiver on board the locomotive, and a local area network of railcar tracking units. Instead of computing the GPS solution independently and transmitting it to a central station, the railcar tracking units transmit their unique identifications (IDs) to one of the tracking units in the local area network acting as an administrator tracking unit. The administrator tracking unit maintains a list of IDs and periodically transmits the list of IDs to the locomotive. The locomotive locates itself using the GPS system and periodically transmits its position and velocity to the central station.

Title: Water level determination for laundry washing machine
Inventor: HARWOOD JONATHAN DAVID
IPC: D06F34/18
Filed: 1996-07-23
Abstract: A laundry washing machine in which a suitable level of water is automatically determined for any particular load size. The machine is operated to first determine an initial estimation of the clothes load and to then fill to a water level suitable to the initial load estimation. The machine is then operated in such a way to check if the estimated water level is actually sufficient for the clothes load, essentially by determining the resulting load on the laundry machine motor. If the water level is found to be insufficient then more water is added before the checking routine is carried out once again. When the water level is determined to be suitable for the clothes load, washing is commenced.

Title: Coin hopper measurement and control system
Inventor: FILIBERTI PETER L
IPC: G07F9/02
Filed: 1996-03-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a weighing apparatus for weighing coins accumulated in a coin hopper (10) using a load cell (12). By periodically monitoring the hopper and automatically calculating the number of coins in the hopper, theft of coins and other irregularities can be easily and timely detected. The unauthorized removal of coins during an actual or purported maintenance procedure can be detected by determining a count of coins before a hopper access door (2) is opened, counting the number of coins once the door is closed, and using those two counts to determine the change in the number of coins in the hopper. In a preferred embodiment, the identity of the person opening the hopper door and the time which the hopper door is opened and closed are recorded, along with any detected discrepancy in coin count.

IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 1996-03-08
Abstract: One of the television signals from a plurality of channels includes as supplemental data a plurality of channel lineups and a unique geographic area identifier for each channel lineup. When the transmitted television signals are received at a tuner (18), the transmitted identifiers are compared with a user inputted geographic area identifier. The transmitted channel lineup for the transmitted identifier that matches the user inputted identifier is stored (28) for future use as a valid channel lineup. The valid channel lineup is then used to set the tuner in response to user inputted channel commands. The described arrangement can be used to download channel lineups with a television signal that is transmitted to viewers of services that have different channel lineups. The applicable channel lineup is determined at the local tuner by means of the geographic area identifier.
