Title: Method for making a stable stacked snack food configuration
Inventor: TRICK KEVIN MATTHEW
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 2005-11-29
Abstract: A method for making asymmetrical snack pieces that can be efficiently nested or stacked. A dough preform is mated with a mold as the preform is cooked into a snack piece. The preform takes the shape of the mold. The mold is designed such that the resultant snack piece, when resting upon a flat surface, has an apex and a base of equal height. This is achieved by making the mold such that the centroid of the snack piece lies in a plane that is parallel to a plane formed by the vertices of the snack piece. The snack pieces can then be efficiently nested or stacked.
Patent CA-2594829-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEYER GERD JUERGEN
IPC: G21G1/10
Filed: 2006-01-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to an universal method for the large scale production of high-purity carrier free or non carrier added radioisotopes by applying a number of "unit operations" which are derived from physics and material science and hitherto not used for isotope production. A required number of said unit operations is combined, selected and optimised individually for each radioisotope production scheme. The use of said unit operations allows a batch wise operation or a fully automated continuous production scheme. The radioisotopes produced by the inventive method are especially suitable for producing radioisotope-labelled bioconjugates as well as particles, in particular nanoparticles and microparticles.

Title: Automatic frequency control for a wireless communication system with multiple subcarriers
Inventor: LING FUYUN
IPC: H03J7/04
Filed: 2006-03-13
Abstract: Techniques for performing frequency control in an OFDM system are described.  In one aspect, frequency acquisition is performed based on a received pilot, and frequency tracking is performed based on received OFDM symbols. For frequency acquisition, an initial frequency error estimate may be derived based on the received pilot, and an automatic frequency control (AFC) loop may be initialized with the initial frequency error estimate. For frequency tracking, a frequency error estimate may be derived for each received OFDM  symbol, and the AFC loop may be updated with the frequency error estimate.  Frequency error in input samples is corrected by the AFC loop with the initial frequency error estimate as well as the frequency error estimate for each received OFDM symbol. In another aspect, a variable number of samples of a received OFDM symbol are selected, e.g., based on the received OFDM symbol timing, for use for frequency error estimation.

Abstract: Méthode pour évaluer des pressions de fluide dans une zone du sous-sol à  l'aide de données sismiques et de puits. On découpe la zone d'étude en plusieurs intervalles d'analyse en temps. Puis pour chacun de ces intervalles, on réalise une inversion stratigraphique avant sommation des données sismiques, avec utilisation d'information a priori géologique, et l'on détermine un cube de faciès lithosismique par analyse lithosismique. Puis, on détermine pour chacun des faciès des relations reliant les impédances sismiques aux puits aux pressions différentielles aux puits, sur chacun des intervalles d'analyse. Enfin, on détermine un cube de pression différentielle à l'aide des relations précédentes, ainsi qu'un cube de pression de confinement, pour déterminer les pressions de fluide dans le sous-sol par simple différence de ces deux cubes. Application au domaine pétrolier pour la détection des zones de surpression lors de forage par exemple.
