Patent CA-2156100-A1 (CA)
Title: Control Mechanism for a Water Conditioning System
Inventor: VAUGHAN DON D
IPC: B01J49/00
Filed: 1995-08-15
Abstract: A control mechanism is provided for operating a control valve in a water conditioning system. The control mechanism includes a timing mechanism for regulating the regeneration cycle and service cycle of the water conditioning system and a control valve positioning mechanism for operating the control valve of the water conditioning system. The control valve positioning mechanism and the timing mechanism are driven by a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a timing drive gear which is in driving engagement with the timing mechanism and a control valve drive gear which is in driving engagement with the control valve positioning mechanism. A clutch selectively couples the control valve drive gear to the timing drive gear to provide selective conjoint rotation of the control valve drive gear with the timing drive gear. The clutch includes a coupling member having a first end wrapped around a stem of the timing drive gear and a second end wrapped around the stem of the control valve drive gear. When the timing drive gear is rotated the coupling member couples the control valve drive gear to the timing drive gear for conjoint rotation. However, when the clutch is selectively gripped by a pivotable cam arm, the control valve drive gear is uncoupled from the timing drive gear such that the timing drive gear rotates without any corresponding rotation of the control valve drive gear.

Patent CA-2157024-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEWART KENNETH A
IPC: G10L19/24
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: A code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system reduces system self-interference and enhances system capacity by making rate selection decisions for individual speech encoders in concert with other speech encoders. The system utilizes perceptually weighted error metrics (401) as input into a rate controller (404) which determines and provides selected rates (402) back to the encoders (105). The system provides optimum voice quality and system capacity in that it allows specific encoders to decrease their rate, which improves capacity, as necessary while allowing other encoders to maintain their rates. This prevents needless degradation in voice quality at those times when system capacity needs to be temporarily increased.

Patent CA-2168147-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAGNON PIERRE
IPC: C04B40/00
Filed: 1996-01-26
Abstract: âti de rangement utilisé pour charger et décharger du matériel à partir du haut, au moyen de palettes servant à porter des articles à stocker sur les étagères ou à les en retirer. Le bâti consiste en une série de colonnes espacées placées en rangées parallèles définissant des puits accessibles par le haut; les colonnes comportent des marches espacées verticalement et tournées vers le haut, et faisant des saillies égales vers le centre du puits. Un appareil de levage à charge suspendue peut être déplacé à l'horizontale au-dessus des étagères et peut être immobilisé au-dessus du puits sélectionné; l'appareil de levage est doté d'une moufle qui peut être descendue entre les colonnes du puits sélectionné et y être guidée; une paire de crochets articulés fixés à la moufle peuvent s'ouvrir et se refermer; deux poutres en forme de Z adaptées pour porter une série de palettes placées bout à bout sont suspendues aux crochets et sont dégagées des marches en position fermée. Une fois au-dessus de la marche choisie, les crochets sont ouverts et font écarter la partie supérieure des poutres en Z pour leur permettre de s'accrocher à ces marches. L'opération est effectuée en sens inverse pour le déchargement. Les crochets peuvent manutentionner les poutres en Z pour prendre ou déposer les palettes alignées sur une surface d'appui. Le système est particulièrement conçu pour charger des blocs en béton jeune et pour décharger des blocs en béton durci à partir d'un séchoir où se trouve le bâti. De préférence, les blocs de béton jeune sont emmagasinés entre les colonnes du séchoir pour leur donner une résistance à la rupture en compression suffisante; ils sont ensuite déchargés et empilés directement sur le sol à côté du bâti à l'intérieur du séchoir à l'aide uniquement des palettes, pour compléter le processus de séchage; le nombre de colonnes et de poutres en Z peut donc être réduit sans pour autant diminuer la capacité de séchage réelle du séchoir. De plus, le dispositif collecteur à poutres en Z n'est plus nécessaire à cette étape.

An encoder monitor; the movement of a sensed coin on the rotating disc downstream of the sensors by monitoring the angular movement of the rotating disc. Further, a coin discriminator is used to detect foreign and counterfeit coins and to prevent the detected invalid coins from being discharged with the valid coins.

Abstract: A high-speed secondary cell charging system is provided which accurately measures the amount of time to achieve a full-charge condition in a secondary cell. In this system, when charging a secondary cell while detecting a charging characteristic of the secondary cell, charging is performed of the secondary cell using a prescribed amount of charging current. Then, when a prescribed condition with regard to the secondary cell is detected, the secondary cell is charged once again, this time with a current that is smaller than the previous charging current. When a condition indicating the completion of the charging of the secondary cell is detected, the charging is stopped. If this condition is not detected, a yet smaller charging current is set and the charging of the secondary cell is performed once again, the above operations being repeated until a condition which indicates that the charging of the secondary cell is complete is detected.

Title: Method and apparatus for signal restoration
Inventor: AVINASH GOPAL B
IPC: G06V10/30
Filed: 1995-09-26
Abstract: A noisy signal (50) obtained from an acquisition system (21), such as a conventional or confocal microscope, is improved in a manner which simultaneously estimates the true or ideal signal as well as the response function of the acquisition system. The restored signal can be a function of one or more variables, e.g., time or space. Prior knowledge of the response function of the acquisition system is not required, eliminating the need to calibrate the acquisition system (21) before acquiring a signal. The true signal and the response function of the acquisition system are estimated in iterative manner. The actual signal data and the frequency content of the actual signal data may be used to determine constraints to be applied to the estimates of the true signal and the impulse response of the acquisition system. The constraints include constraints on the signal (in the spatial domain) (54) and constraints in the frequency domain (58).
