Title: Display control for software notes
Inventor: EISENBERG PETER M
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1999-08-25
Abstract: A method for controlling presentation of the content of a note on a display facilitates the editing of note content by a user. A computer user can view different portions of the note content quickly and easily, particularly when  the note content extends beyond the displayed portion. A user can gain easy access to different portions of a note by simply clicking at desired positio ns along a content extent bar. The content extent bar can be made to indicate positioning from the beginning of the note content to the end. A current vie w bar indicates the position of a currently displayed portion of the note content. The user can drag the current view bar to display another portion o f the note content. A cursor indicator can be displayed relative to the conten t extent bar. Upon selection of the cursor indicator, a portion of the note content containing the edit cursor is displayed. In the event the user marks  a portion of the text, e.g., for a cut, copy, or formatting operation, a selected content indicator also can be displayed relative to the content extent bar. The selected content indicator can be sized to indicate the exte nt and position of the selected portion of the note content relative to the content extent.

Title: A semiconductor memory card access apparatus, a computer-readable recording medium, an initialization method, and a semiconductor memory card
Inventor: HIROTA TERUTO
IPC: G06F21/79
Filed: 2000-10-19
Abstract: A predetermined number of erasable blocks positioned at a start of a volume area in a semiconductor memory card include volume management information. A user area following the volume management information includes a plurality of clusters. A data length NOM of an area from a master boot record and partition table sector to a partition boot sector is determined so that the plurality of clusters in the user area are not arranged so as to straddle erasable block boundaries. Since cluster boundaries and erasable block boundaries in the user area are aligned, there is no need to perform wasteful processing in which two erasable blocks are erased to rewrite one cluster.

Patent CA-2369729-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HODGSON CRAIG W
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 2000-01-24
Abstract: An acoustic array includes amplifiers (124) and sensor subarrays (112), both of which are placed along rungs that connect a return distribution bus (144) with both a signal distribution bus (116) and a pump distribution bus (132). By placing the amplifiers (124) along the rungs, separate buses can be used for distributing the optical signal and the pump energy for the amplifiers (124), thereby facilitating the use of standardized couplers (121-123; 136-139; 140-143). Time division multiplexed sensor subarrays (230) are advantageously connected to unique combinations of laser signal sources (200-203) and signal return buses (270-274), in which the laser signal sources (200-203) generate different optical wavelengths (.lambda.1, .lambda.2, .lambda.3, .lambda.4) that are multiplexed on the signal return buses (270-274). Optical sources include intensity modulators (910) on either side of an amplifier (920) to eliminate extraneous noise between optical pulses. In addition, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) filters (940) may be advantageously used to reduce optical noise at wavelengths other than those of interest.

Patent CA-2370618-A1 (CA)
Title: Manual retracting box step for pick-up trucks
Inventor: WATSON BRAD E
IPC: B60R3/02
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: The step assembly (20) includes a mounting bracket (26) mounted to an under-carriage of the pick-up truck. A step (30) is pivotally secured to the mounting bracket. The step can rotate between a stowed position with the step disposed adjacent the mounting bracket and an operative position with the step extending from the bracket. A coil spring is mounted between the bracket and the step for continuously biasing the step toward the stowed position. A ratchet mechanism, having a pawl, a cam and an over-center spring, is mounted between the bracket and the step. The ratchet mechanism locks the step in the operative position in response to rotation of the step from the stowed position to the operative position. When in the operative position, a user can stand on the step assembly to access the bed of the pick-up truck. The ratchet mechanism also unlocks the step in response to over rotation of the step beyond the operative position. Once unlocked, the step automatically counter rotates back to the stowed position. When in the stowed position, the step assembly is concealed underneath the pick-up truck.

Inventor: DUBE JEAN-YVES
IPC: H02K21/22
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: The system includes a permanent magnet three-phase motor and an electronic current controlled inverter by pulse width modulation. The motor has twenty-two poles and twenty-four slots, three phases and a cylindrical outer rotor. This structure minimizes torque ripple and maximizes energy efficiently. All coil windings are wound around the stator teeth. Several winding configurations are proposed and a special one with only one coil per slot. The motor phases are supplied by alternating rectangular current waveforms. A specific inverter control system is described to maximize efficiency and reduce current ripple and electromagnetic interference under motorizing or generating operations. The current control is realized by using the mosfets voltage for the current measurement.
