Abstract: Selon la présente invention, un signal audio à temps discret est traité (52) afin de fournir (52) un bloc de quantification avec des valeurs spectrales quantifiées. Une représentation spectrale en nombres entiers est produite à partir du signal audio à temps discret, par utilisation d'un algorithme de transformation (56) en nombres entiers. Le bloc de quantification qui a été produit à l'aide d'un modèle psychoacoustique (54) est inversement quantifié et arrondi (58) afin d'établir une différence entre les valeurs spectrales en nombres entiers et les valeurs spectrales arrondies inversement quantifiées. Le bloc de quantification seul fournit, après le décodage, un signal audio à codage/décodage psychoacoustique avec pertes, alors que le bloc de quantification avec le bloc de combinaison fournit, lors du décodage, un signal audio codé ou à nouveau décodé, sans perte ou quasiment sans perte. La production du signal différentiel dans le domaine fréquentiel permet d'obtenir une structure de codeur/décodeur simplifiée.

Patent CA-2522919-C (CA)
Inventor: GAAL PETER
IPC: G01S19/03
Filed: 2004-04-02
Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: Signal acquisition assistance data is obtained for receiving devices such as wireless position assisted location devices (208, 210) seeking signals from any source (B1-B10), such as satellite vehicles and base stations. The data may be obtained from previously acquired data, based upon evaluation of changes in parameters such as time and location that may jeopardize validity.  In some cases the data may be adjusted for the changes in parameters. Refined data may be calculated by a receiver using partial measurements of signal sets, particularly if the acquisition assistance data provided by a remote entity includes more distinct parameters than have typically been provided.  New data need not be obtained until the validity of previous data expires due to limitations upon temporal extrapolation using Doppler coefficients, unless mobile station movement that cannot be compensated is detected, and jeopardizes validity of the previous data.

Title: Fiber optic cable and furcation module
Inventor: ZIMMEL STEVEN C
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2004-09-01
Granted: 2013-11-05
Abstract: An optical fiber cable assembly comprising an optical fiber slidably enclosed within a hollow tubing, both the fiber and the tubing having corresponding first and second ends. The cable is terminated with the first and second ends of the tubing and the fiber constrained with respect to each other such that fiber and the tubing are approximately the same length when the cable is at a first temperature. The tubing is made of a material which contracts more than the optical fiber when the cable is exposed to temperatures below the first temperature, such that the fiber is longer than the tubing and excess fiber length is formed. An intermediate portion of the tubing permits the excess fiber length to accumulate without bending in a radius smaller than a minimum bend radius.

Title: Displacement sensor apparatus
Inventor: SMITH TOBY E
IPC: G01B11/16
Filed: 2004-10-18
Granted: 2009-12-08
Abstract: There is provided herein a sensor for determining relative displacement between two surfaces which utilizes two optically conductive members that have been mounted in proximity to each other, whereby the amount of displacement between the two surfaces may be determined by measurement of the magnitude of the intensity of light transmitted through them. The instant invention preferably utilizes two planar light transmitting surfaces - an emitter and a receiver - which are free to move laterally with respect to each other and are positioned so that when light is introduced into the emitter some proportion of that light falls on the receiver. By electronically monitoring the intensity of light impinging on the receiver an estimate of the amount of overlap between the two optical surfaces and, thus, an estimate of the relative displacement between them, may be obtained.

Title: Coriolis mass flow measuring device
Inventor: MATT CHRISTIAN
IPC: G01N9/00
Filed: 2004-12-07
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: The Coriolis mass-flow/density meter includes at least one measuring tube (11) which is flowed-through by a two, or more, phase medium during operation. A support means (12) of the Coriolis mass-flow/density meter is fixed to an inlet end and an outlet end of the measuring tube (11) and thus holds the tube such that it can oscillate. During operation, the measuring tube (11) is made to oscillate with mechanical oscillations, especially bending oscillations, by means of an exciter arrangement (13). Additionally, the Coriolis mass-flow/density meter includes means (141, 142) for producing measurement signals (x s1, x s2) representing inlet end and outlet end oscillations of the measuring tube (11). An evaluation electronics (2) produces an intermediate value (X'm) derived from the measurement signals (x s1, x s2) and representing a provisionally determined mass flow rate. The evaluation electronics (2) also produces a second intermediate value (X2) derived from the measurement signals (x s1, x s2), especially from a second measured value (X p) representing a density of the medium and likewise produced in the evaluation electronics (2). The second intermediate value (X2) represents a measure for an amount of a phase of the medium. Using the intermediate value (X2), a correction value (X k) for the first intermediate value (X'm) is determined, with the correction value (X  k) being selected by means of the intermediate value (X2) from a plurality of preset values stored in a table memory (56). Additionally, the evaluation electronics (2) produces a measured value (X m) representing a mass flow rate through use of the intermediate value (X'm) and the correction value (X k).

Title: Method and apparatus for locating a person who has been buried alive
Inventor: KAMPEL GERALD
IPC: A62B33/00
Filed: 2006-07-18
Granted: 2011-02-01
Abstract: A search apparatus and related method facilitate the final stage of a search for a buried person carrying a transmitter. When the searcher is in the close vicinity of the buried transmitter, the search enters a point-localization phase where the apparatus displays a representation of the current target distance from the apparatus to the buried transmitter as well as a representation of a previously-stored value for the target distance. By comparing the current distance to the previously-stored distance, the searcher can readily see whether the apparatus is getting closer to the buried transmitter or further away. Preferably, graphic symbols are displayed to represent the current distance and the previously-stored distance. The display can also provide a representation of whether the current distance is greater than or less than an immediately preceding distance that has been stored.

Abstract: Embodiments focus on imparting a horizontally shifting motion to a plant punch element (1) during a part of a plant punch cycle (18) so as to reduce contact of a plant punching surface (38) with the plant during the plant punch. Plant punch elements that are particularly suited for such "shifting" capability may include a gap (41) facilitating lateral movement of the plant punch element to a position around at least part of the plant to be punched. Aspects of the inventive technology also address a sheltering plant punch apparatus that can also reduce injury and stress experienced by the plant while it is punched.  Combinations of aspects disclosed herein provide a high degree of protection to the plant during a plant punch, thereby reducing stress experienced by the plant during the punch.
