Title: Informative card made of sheet metal
Inventor: GRAY ALFRED L
IPC: B42D15/02
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: An informative card, such as a baseball trading card, has a rectangular shape and is made of a single thin sheet of metal in such a way that it is free of pointed corners or exposed raw edges.  The informative card has four rounded corners and a double-thickness frame defined by a folded lip which has four straight edges and four rounded connectors joining the straight edges at the corners.  The folded lip provides an unbroken radiused peripheral edge bordering the card. A central display panel of the card is offset rearwardly to form a raised ledge on the front side of the card surrounding the central display panel.
Patent CA-2204164-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for depositing a substance with temperature control
Inventor: HEUSER MICHAEL S
IPC: C23C16/50
Filed: 1994-11-01
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and its method of use in which a substance such as diamond is deposited on a mandrel (110) or substrate (170), and where temperature at the deposition surface is controlled.  According to one aspect of the invention, the temperature on the surface of a rotating mandrel (110) is controlled by passing coolant fluid radially through the mandrel at several angular reference positions in the mandrel, while a plasma containing, e.g., a hydrocarbon gas and hydrogen gas is directed toward the mandrel. A spacer (120) having a thermal conductance in its thickness direction that varies with its radial direction is mounted on the mandrel, and a substrate (170) is mounted on the spacer (120).
Patent CA-2207524-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for defining properties in finite-state machines
Inventor: WESLEY GLENN R
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 1997-06-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for defining a system design specification by using a finite set of templates that have a format for accepting a set of system expression such that a selected template, when filled with the system expressions, defines an expected behavioral attribute of the system. In one illustrative embodiment, each template has a set of qualifiers and a set of entry blanks, wherein each qualifier is associated with a entry blank. In such an embodiment, the set of entry spaces may comprise a fulfilling condition entry space for accepting a system expression that defines a required or assumed event of the system model, an enabling condition entry space for accepting a system expression that defines a precondition for starting a check of the required or assumed event, and a discharging condition entry space for accepting a system expression that defines a condition after which said fulfilling condition is no longer required or assumed by the system model. Filling the entry spaces of a selected template with the appropriate system expression can form an expression that defines an expected behavior of the system model. Thus, a set of filled templates can define a set of expected behaviors of the system model (i.e. a system design specification). The system design specification can then be used to generate computer-executable code (e.g. automata) for testing the expected behavioral attributes of the system. For example, each filled template of the system design specification can be converted to an automaton by a given subroutine.

Patent CA-2265206-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPEIGHT TIMOTHY JAMES
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1999-03-09
Abstract: Adaptive antennas are used to counter dispersion due to multipath propagation and interference from other stations using the same frequency. Each of the antennas in the array has a respective tapped delay line in which the tap output signals are weighted and summed. In a known theoretical proposal, the weights W are determined as follows:   w = R xx -1 r xd where R xx is the autocorrelation matrix of the input to the system and r xd is the crosscorrelation vector of the input signal and the known sequence. In practice estimates of R xx and r xd may be obtained by averaging the instantaneous matrices and vectors over the training sequence.      A method to provide an improved estimate of R xx is disclosed in which the estimate of R xx is refined by calculating a new estimate R xx(new) = (R xx + .beta..I x trace(R xx)) where .beta. is a scalar value and I is the identity matrix, and wherein successive iterations are evaluated by:     comparing the real part of the summed tap output signals with a set level; ascribing a symbol value of logical zero to those summed tap output signals which fall to one side of the set level and ascribing a symbol value of logical one to those summed tap output signals which fall to the other side of the set level; calculating the mean of the levels of those signals ascribed the value logical zero and the mean of the levels of those signals ascribed the value logical one; calculating the distance between the level of each signal ascribed the value logical zero and the respective mean, and the level of each signal ascribed the value logical one and the respective mean; calculating the sum of the distances from the means; calculating the distances of the levels of all signals from the set level; calculating the sum of the distances of the levels of all signals from the set level; calculating the ratio of the sum of the distances from the means to the sum of the distances of the levels of all symbols from the set level.
