Patent CA-2372952-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHIFF LEONARD N
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for paging a user terminal (UT) (124, 126) in a satellite communications system (100) having a at least one gateway (120, 122) and one or more satellites (116, 118), wherein each satellite produces a plurality of beams (401-416, 501-516) and each beam includes a plurality of channels, and wherein the one or more satellites (116, 118) produce a total number of beams m. The method of the present invention includes the step of recalling a location of the UT that corresponds to a known location of the UT  at a time t1 (704). The method also includes the step of determining a group (g1) of beams that covers the recalled location of the UT at a time t2 (706), where g1 < n and t2 > t1. A strongest beam of the group (g1) of beams at time t2 is then determined (708). In one embodiment, the strongest beam is selected by determining which beam of the group (g1) of beams theoretically has a highest power relative to the recalled location at time t2 (710). A page is then sent (712) from the gateway to the UT (124, 126) on a paging channel of the strongest beam. Accordingly, the present invention can be used to page a user terminal using a single channel of a single beam.

Patent CA-2375879-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KLEIN NORBERT
IPC: H01P1/20
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a dielectric resonator configuration which uses two  dielectric spacers in order to separate the dielectric resonator from two en d plates. The resonator configuration provides a very high unloaded Q-factor f or a mixed electromagnetic double wave (HEM11.delta. wave) and a strong modulation and coupling of the (HEM11.delta. wave). A negative and a positiv e cross coupling between non-adjacent waves can thus be attained, and N = 2k ( k = 2, 3, 4 )-pole bandpass filters having quasi elliptical properties can be realized. This resonator configuration also makes it possible to prevent a self-maintaining discharge for filters which operate with high capacity and low-pressure gas and to attain an improved wave separation for multichannel filters.

Title: Metering valve
Inventor: ALLEN THOMAS E
IPC: B65G53/46
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: A metering valve for metering dry powder material such as cement. The interior of the valve housing is expanded outward beginning at the sealing surface or lip located adjacent to the inlet opening, thereby forming an enlarged gap between the valve sleeve and housing to discourage powder accumulation in the gap and interference of large bulk particles and foreign materials with the sleeve and housing. An eccentric intermediate sleeve aligns the valve sleeve relative to the housing prior to rotation of the valve sleeve by either moving the valve sleeve away from or toward the valve inlet. The valve sleeve has a rubberized layer to seal with the housing's sealing surface or lip. A sleeve shield blocks entry of powder into the mouths of the vacuum breakers to prevent plugging of the vacuum breakers. Ball bearings are employed to suspend the valve sleeve within the housing, making the valve sleeve easier to rotate.

Title: Electrode catalyst for fuel cell and process for producing the same
Inventor: HIROSHIMA KAZUTAKA
IPC: H01M4/88
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: An electrode catalyst for a fuel cell includes a conductive support, and catalytic particles loaded on the conductive support.  The catalytic particles include platinum and a base metal being on the lower end of the electrochemical series with respect to platinum.  The number of the atoms of the base metal, forming metallic oxides without alloying with the platinum, is less than 5 atomic % of the number of the atoms of the platinum on a surface of the catalytic particles. The electrode catalyst is produced by loading the platinum and base metal on the conductive support, alloying the platinum and base metal thereon by a heat treatment, thereby making the catalytic particles, and removing metallic oxides from a surface of the catalytic particles. The electrode catalyst is less expensive comparatively, exhibits high catalytic activities, and hardly lowers the battery performance of fuel cells.
