Title: Process and device for manufacturing a plastic preform
Inventor: DENIS GERARD
IPC: B29C48/345
Filed: 2005-05-10
Abstract: The process, using a semi-crystalline polymer in an amorphous state and with a slow rate of crystallisation, consists of plasticizing the polymer by heating it rapidly to a temperature below its melting point, forcing the plasticized polymer through a die, sweeping it as it leaves the die with a hot, dry inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, collecting the plasticized polymer in a first container while maintaining its temperature at the plasticization level, and die-stamping it in the first container (6) or in a second one (9) after transfer from the first, accompanied by a sharp reduction in temperature to obtain a preform in an amorphous state. The apparatus used for the process consists of a polymer plasticizing chamber (3) with a surrounding heater, a feeder, a die (4) with an inert gas input (11) beneath it, a container (6) to collect the plasticized polymer, carried with others on a rotating disc (8), and a die stamper (7).

Abstract: System and method for controlling an appliance for drying clothing articles is provided. The appliance has a container for receiving the clothing articles.  A motor is provided for rotating the container about an axis. A heater is provided for supplying heated air to the container during a dry cycle. A sensor is provided for providing a signal indicative of moisture content of the articles. Memory is provided memory for storing historical stop time data of respective dry cycles. A noise--reduction filter is coupled to receive the signal from the moisture sensor to provide selectable filtering to that signal. A timer provides a signal indicative of elapsed time upon start of the dry cycle. A module is responsive to the historical data in the memory for determining an initial estimate of the stop time of the dry cycle to be executed. A processor allows for estimating the stop time of the dry cycle as the cycle is being executed. The estimation of the stop time is based on a respective functional relationship of the noise-reduced sensor signal, and the timer signal, relative to one or more characteristics of the articles and one or more desired values of predetermined dry-cycle parameters selectable by a respective user of the dryer. The initial estimate of the stop time is superceded by the stop time estimated by the processor as the cycle is being executed.

Title: Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation employing advanced editing feature
Inventor: GRIFFIN JASON T
IPC: G06F15/18
Filed: 2006-04-04
Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided. Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special <NEXT> key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device. If a field into which text is being entered is determined to be a special input field, a disambiguated result can be sought first from a predetermined data source prior to seeking results from other data sources on the device.

Title: Sensor and methods for measuring select components in moving sheet products
Inventor: HARAN FRANK M
IPC: G01N21/39
Filed: 2006-01-12
Abstract: A compact, long lasting sensor for measuring components such as moisture in moving sheets including paper in a papermaking apparatus employs light sources that produce radiation within defined wavelength regions of interest and the light sources are modulated at high frequencies using non-mechanical techniques . A single detector with various radiation sources can measure at all frequencies while keeping information separated. Superluminescent light emitting diode or laser diode light sources can be directly electrically modulated for improved noise rejection. These higher power and bright light sources afford excellent fiber optic launch efficiency and permits the sensor to be scanned at much faster rates over the paper being monitored.
Patent CA-2608032-A1 (CA)
Title: Mechanism to mitigate color breakup artifacts in field sequential color display systems
Inventor: SELBREDE MARTIN G
IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 2006-08-01
Abstract: A mechanism for mitigating undesired color image breakup artifacts arising in display systems that exploit the principle of field sequential color generation. By suitably reducing the time interval during which image information strikes the moving retina, such that the differential position for the respective red, green, and blue components of the image falling upon the moving retina does not exceed the diameter of a retinal cone or rod, the cause of the breakup is negated and the image becomes unitary as expected: the eye sees the image as if all the components arrived at the same time. The truncation of light emission into shorter time frames necessitates a compensatory increase in imaging light intensity, such that the net amount of photonic flux striking the retina, averaged over time, remains unchanged. The mechanism can be applied to systems with discrete red, green, and blue sources as well as to color-wheel-based systems.
