Patent CA-2444185-C (CA)
Title: Method of intelligent roaming using network information and a wireless communication device
Inventor: RAFFEL MICHAEL ALLEN
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 1998-06-12
Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for a communication device for locating a wireless service provider in a multi service-provider environment. The communication device has a stored search schedule associated with a plurality of frequencies. A processor determines whether a last frequency used by the communication device has an optimal service provider. If the last frequency used does not have an optimal service provider, one of the stored frequencies is examined until a frequency is located having an acceptable service provider.

Title: Procede de formation et de visualisation d'une marque optiquement invisible
Inventor: DYKHNE ALEXANDR MIKHAILOVICH
IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 2001-04-26
Granted: 2013-01-08
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte aux procédés de lecture et d'écriture des informations invisible à l'oeil et peut s'utiliser pour visualiser des images (marques) cachées destinées à identifier un objet, lesdites marques assurant la protection de l'objet contre la reproduction non autorisée (la contrefaçon). Le procédé de formation et de visualisation de la marque optique invisible consiste en ce qui suit: on forme à la surface de l'objet d'intérêt une image optiquement invisible de la marque en modifiant au moins une partie de cette surface, après quoi on visualise l'image en question. Avant de former l'image optiquement invisible de la marque, la surface de l'objet d'intérêt comportant cette image est préalablement polie jusqu'à ce qu'elle atteigne l'état d'un miroir. On effectue la modification en changeant l'énergie de surface des parties à modifier. La visualisation de l'image optiquement invisible se fait par la création dans la zone de la surface susmentionnée de l'objet d'intérêt d'un milieu métastable au moyen de laquelle l'image visuellement perceptible de la marque optiquement invisible se présente comme une différence de structures formée par les particules de la phase stable du milieu métastable, dans des parties de surface (de l'objet d'intérêt) avec des énergies de surface différentes. On prévoit diverses variantes en ce qui concerne l'utilisation des milieux métastables et les procédés de formation à la surface de l'objet d'intérêt de l'image optiquement invisible de la marque.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the spring rate of an air spring is disclosed by providing a heat sink within the working chamber of the air spring. The heat sink, in effect, reduces the ratio of specific heats, gamma, of the spring medium, e.g. air, located within the air spring, which in turn, reduces the spring rate. In one embodiment, the heat sink is a plurality of polymeric or elastomeric fibers configured as a stable fiber, commonly referred to fiber fill. The fibers used for the heat sink may include longitudinally extending bores to increase the exposed surface to weight ratio of the fiber, and/or may have a friction reducing coating that resists matting and provides airiness to the fibers. In an example provided herein, the heat sink dramatically reduced the spring rate of the air spring, especially at an operational frequency over one (1) hertz.
