Patent CA-2201682-A1 (CA)
Title: Processing image data
Inventor: SEVIGNY BENOIT
IPC: H04N5/262
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: Image data is processed by identifying a region of substantially constant colour within a first image. Colour variations, in terms of standard deviation about an average colour, are analysed and a similar level of variation is applied to a second image. The first image may be derived from cinematographic film, with colour variations due to film grain. The second image may be a video image or a computer generated image and the application of a similar level of variation may reproduce noise similar to that present within the film due to grain. In this way, it is possible to add grain to non-filmed images so as to match said images to images derived from film.
Patent CA-2202621-A1 (CA)
Title: Code acquisition in a cdma communication system using multiple walsh channels
Inventor: SKINNER GORDON
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 1996-06-28
Abstract: A technique for using energy received by subscriber units over multiple orthogonal channels within a spread spectrum communication system to acquire signal timing by controlling signal amplitude integration intervals used in detecting such timing. Received signals (10, 14, 18) are despread (40, 60) and respective amplitues coherently integrated (42, 44, 46, 62) over periods that are divisible by factors of two into the length of Walsh functions used to generate orthogonal signal channels.    Non-coherent combinations of the results of this integration are subsequently formed (68) over periods that commence and terminate on Walsh function boundaries, and used to determine when a correct time offset has been selected for despreading signals. Additional advantages are realized by assigning signals that consistently provide a higher energy content such as paging, synchronization, and most frequently assigned traffic channels to specific orthogonal channels within the communication system. In exemplary embodiments, Welsh functions of length 128 are used as channelizing codes and a pilot signal is assigned to channel 0. This results in traffic channels or paging and synchronization functions being assigned to channel (64) when the integration periods are (64) chips long, and to channels (32, 64 and 96) when the periods are (32) chips long. In this manner, additional energy is available during the integration process for use in determining when correct signal acquisition timing offsets have been selected, without the use of additional hardware.

Patent CA-2208771-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAPP MARTIN A
IPC: B24B55/04
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process to supply the interface zone between an abrasive tool and a work piece with cooling lubricant.  This process incorporates the following steps:   a)  provision of an annular gap (4) around the outside contour (5) of the abrasive tool (1), said annular gap (4) extending around the major portion of the periphery of the abrasive tool (1); b)  interruption of the annular gap (4) in a first area (6) in which the interface zone (3) between the abrasive tool (1) and the work piece (2) is located; c) interruption of the annular gap (4) in a second area (7) that is located in an area of the periphery of the abrasive tool (1) that is spaced apart from the first area (6); d)  delivery of cooling lubricant to the second area (7).  This means that the cushion of air that forms around the rotating abrasive tool is broken down, so that even a small flow of oil will be sufficient to cool and lubricate the interface between the tool and the workpiece effectively.

Title: An applicator for holding and dispensing a substance
Inventor: NIELSEN STEVEN JAMES
IPC: B31B17/00
Filed: 1995-08-21
Abstract: An applicator is disclosed which includes a thin walled member adapted to hold and dispense a substance. An apparatus is also disclosed for forming a curl on an end of the applicator. The applicator has a thin wall formed from at least two separate distinct layers and has first and second spaced apart ends. The applicator also has an outwardly extending fingergrip ring integrally formed adjacent to the second end which serves to facilitate control of the applicator. The fingergrip ring also facilitates comfortable insertion of a substance into a body cavity or on an area of the skin and furthermore eases removal of the applicator from a body cavity. The apparatus includes first and second members. The first member is capable of holding the tubular member and has an external shoulder beyond which the first end of the tubular member extends a set amount. The second member is coaxially aligned with and is engageable with the first end of the tubular member. The second member includes a pilot which is sized to be inserted into the first end of the tubular member. The second member also includes a sleeve which surrounds the pilot and cooperates with the external shoulder when the second member engages the first end of the tubular member to form a curling chamber. The second member further includes a curling element positioned between the pilot and the sleeve which is capable of contacting the first end of the tubular member. The apparatus further includes means for rotating one of the members and means for moving the members into engagement. As the members engage, the curling element contacts the first end of the tubular member and forms a curl thereon within the confines of the curling chamber.

IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 1997-08-20
Abstract: A process executing method capable of performing multiprocessing by using a shared resource without impairing periodical drivability of processes designed for executing continuous media processing.  When a process requests the use of the shared resource, abortion of that process is first disabled by the process itself by using an abort disable function and then preemption of the same process is disabled by means of a preempt control module, whereupon the process enters a processing executed by using the shared resource.  Upon completion of the processing for the shared resource, the process is immediately set to a preempt-enabled state by means of a preempt control module.  After completion of all the processings, the abort-disabled state is finally cleared by using a disabled-abort clear function.  Upon occurrence of forcive termination of a process in the abort-disabled state thereof, execution of this process is continued until the abort-disabled state is cleared, and the process is terminated forcibly after the abort-disabled state has been cleared.
