Patent CA-2242681-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for adjusting a distance between two opposed form panels
Inventor: LEE KOU-AN
IPC: E04G17/065
Filed: 1998-07-08
Abstract: An apparatus is used for adjusting the distance between two opposed form panels and includes a tie rod, first and second nut members, a seat member, a C-shaped clamp member and a bolt member. The tie rod passes through the first and second form panels, and has first and second threaded end portions which engage respectively the first and second nut members. The seat member has opposed first and second sides, and a through hole extending from the first side to the second side. The second nut member has opposite first and second ends. The second threaded end portion of the tie rod is positioned relative to the seat member when the second end of the second nut member abuts against the second side of the seat member. The C-shaped clamp member has two arm portions which engage the retaining cavities of the seat member.  The bolt member engages threadedly a threaded hole of the C-shaped clamp member and is rotatable so as to abut against the second end of the second nut member, thereby positioning the second nut member on the seat member when the second nut member abuts against the seat member.

Title: Recepteur a spectre etale a correlateur multi-bits
Inventor: CAHN CHARLES
IPC: G01S19/34
Filed: 1997-04-25
Abstract: Système de réception GPS terrestre à code C/A pour échantillonner, filtrer et mémoriser numériquement un segment de 11 demi-bits de codage du signal composite reçu, sous forme d'un nombre binaire, et multiplexer ce nombre en vue d'une corrélation parallèle avec chacune des suites de répliques en code multi-bit destinés au satellite à poursuivre. Chacun des produits de corrélation spécifiques à des retards est accumulé dans une cellule d'une matrice mémoire, ce qui permet d'évaluer au moins vingt-deux retards pour chaque satellite, chaque période de code permettant une réacquisition rapide, même dans des intersections urbaines, ainsi qu'une correction de la poursuite de trajets multiples et des interférences propres aux trajets multiples. Toutes les cellules de la matrice mémoire peuvent être utilisées pour l'acquisition d'un seul satellite en environ 4 ms. Pour la poursuite de deux satellites, on utilise, outre le maintien de l'altitude, le maintien d'écart de route en alternance avec un maintien du signal d'horloge pour mettre à jour l'estimation déduite de l'écart de route. Pour la poursuite d'un seul satellite, on utilise conjointement le maintien d'écart de route et le maintien du signal d'horloge. Les données de navigation sont mises à jour en fonction des changements détectés dans le déplacement, y compris les virages.

Title: Self-coining fastener
Inventor: CAULK GARY D
IPC: F16B5/04
Filed: 1997-04-25
Abstract: A self-coining fastener (50) which may be used to join at least two sheets of metal (110, 112) together without leaving a coining mark on one side thereof. The present self-coining fastener (50) therefore produces an entirely flush surface on one side of the joined layers (110, 112). The fastener (50) comprises a top surface (52) and a bottom surface (54), the top surface (52) having a larger diameter than the bottom surface (54). A groove (60) is formed around a perimeter of the fastener (50) in order to transition between the two diameter surfaces. Because the top surface (52) of the fastener (50) has a larger diameter, no coining ring is required in the upper die (140) which installs the fasteners (50). The larger diameter head (52) acts as a self-coining manner to push the metal in the joined layers (110, 112) into the central groove (60). The result is an installed fastener (50) in which the larger diameter top surface (52) is entirely flush with the top surface of the joined metals (110, 112), without the presence of a coining mark.

Patent CA-2289338-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOURGET CHRISTIAN
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: A discrete multitone (DMT) receiver has a time domain equalizer (TDEQ) which is trained during initialization using an estimated channel impulse response (CIR). To eliminate wrap-around of the estimated CIR relative to the DMT frame alignment, and to remove leading zeroes, the estimated CIR is circularly advanced relative to the frame alignment for training the TDEQ. In subsequent communications of DMT symbols via the channel and the TDEQ, the equalized samples of the received DMT symbols are buffered to compensate, in a frame alignment of the received DMT symbols, for the advance of the estimated CIR in the initialization process and for a delay in the TDEQ.

Title: Two phase hydroprocessing
Inventor: ACKERSON MICHAEL D
IPC: C10G47/00
Filed: 1998-06-23
Abstract: A process where the need to circulate hydrogen through the catalyst is eliminated. This is accomplished by mixing and/or flashing the hydrogen and the oil to be treated in the presence of a solvent or diluent in which the hydrogen solubility is "high" relative to the oil feed. The type and amount of diluent added, as well as the reactor conditions, can be set so that all of the hydrogen required in the hydroprocessing reactions is available in solution. The oil/diluent/hydrogen solution can then be fed to a plug flow reactor packed with catalyst where the oil and hydrogen react. No additional hydrogen is required, therefore, hydrogen recirculation is avoided and trickle bed operation of the reactor is avoided. Therefore, the large trickle bed reactors can be replaced by much smaller tubular reactor.

Title: Multiple program decoding for digital audio broadcasting and other applications
Inventor: SINHA DEEPEN
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 2000-01-12
Abstract: The invention provides methods and apparatus for decoding multiple program information, e.g., audio, video or image information, in a communication system. In an illustrative embodiment, a multiple program decoder includes a deinterleaver for deinterleaving information corresponding to a set of frames, using a specified deinterleaving length. A given one of the frames includes information from each of at least a subset of the programs, and the frames are encoded using an outer code, e.g., a CRC code, RS  code, BCH code or other type of linear block code, and an inner code, e.g., a convolutional code, turbo code or trellis coded modulation. The multiple program decoder includes an inner code decoder for decoding the inner code over one or more of the programs, and an outer code decoder for decoding the outer code for a selected one of the programs.  The deinterleaving length of the deinterleaver and operating rate of the inner code decoder can be configured such that the multiple program decoder provides substantially instantaneous tuning within a given cluster of programs, or within a set of clusters each including multiple programs. The programs may, but need not, include jointly-coded audio programs. The invention may be implemented in numerous applications, such as simultaneous multiple program listening and/or recording, simultaneous delivery of audio and data, etc.

Abstract: A prefabricated wall panel for wood structures has a frame (1) which consists of two frame parts (2 and 3) and transverse links (4). The frame parts (2 and 3) consist of wooden boards (6) to (9) which define the outline of the frame parts (2 and 3) . The frame parts (2, 3) can be stiffened by additional boards (10 to 12) which are arranged to run obliquely. Everywhere the boards which form the frame parts (2 and 3) abut one another they are joined to one another by nail plates (14, 15 and 16). The transverse links (4) which join the frame parts (2 and 3) to one another to form the frame (1) are likewise boards with a length which determines the distance between the frame parts (2 and 3) and the space which is available for heat and/or sound insulation. It is also advantageous that the prefabricated wall panel as claimed in the invention with its frame (1) can be assembled on site.
