Patent CA-2382786-A1 (CA)
Title: Auscultatory training system
Inventor: FRAZER DAVID G
IPC: G09B23/28
Filed: 2002-04-22
Abstract: According to a disclosed embodiment, an auscultatory training apparatus includes a database of pre-recorded physiological sounds stored on a computer for playing on a playback system. A user-friendly, graphical user interface software program is stored on the computer for use with a conventional computer mouse. The program allows a user to select one of the pre-recorded sounds for playback. In addition, the program is operable to generate an inverse model of the playback system in the form of a digital filter. If employed by the user, the inverse model processes the selected sound to cancel the distortions of the playback system so that the sound is accurately reproduced in the playback system. The program also permits the extraction of a specific sound component from a pre-recorded sound so that only the extracted sound component is audible during playback.
Patent CA-2383747-A1 (CA)
Title: Virtual addressing buffer circuit
Inventor: KIM JASON SEUNG-MIN
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 1994-10-04
Abstract: A virtual addressing buffer circuit has improved address mapping and control flexibility for improved physical resource management and a unique opportunity for forward-compatible system design. The virtual addressing buffer formats the output address utilizing a format register as a combination of the new address bits and the original input address bits. The ability to format the output address enables the user to replace certain address bits without requiring that the entire address be replaced. The virtual addressing buffer controls the output of several command signals to external circuits to indicate how the system should respond to the address output from the virtual addressing server. The command signals are controlled by a command register and are output from the virtual addressing buffer only when an address match has been verified. The virtual addressing buffer circuit filters out certain bits of an input address as indicated by a filter register before it verifies that the input address matches a stored address.     The bit pattern in the filtering register is not fixed, so any bit location in the input address can be filtered out before the address is verified. Once an address match has been detected, the virtual addressing buffer replaces the entire input address with a new formatted address.

Title: Method and apparatus for electrically heating a screed assembly in a paving machine
Inventor: SWEARINGEN DAVID
IPC: H05B3/00
Filed: 2001-01-04
Abstract: A paving machine (20) employs an electrically heated screed assembly (30) to uniformly heat a screed plate (46) of the machine. Uniform heating is achieved by inserting a thermally conductive plate (62) between electrical heating elements (60) and the screed plate (46). An insulation layer (68) may be provided above the heating elements (60) to direct the heat downward into the thermally conductive plate (62). The heat spreads relatively uniformly throughout the termally conductive plate (62), thereby uniformly heating the screed plate (46). A clamping mechanism (74) is also provided that, when tightened, provides a compressive force, thereby holding the assembly in place. When released, the pressure is alleviated, thus permitting a heating element to be removed for repair or replacement without the need to remove the screed plate.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réacteur et un procédé permettant de créer un plasma chauffé, stabilisé et de produire une grande quantité d'énergie calorifique. Le plasma initial peut être créé par chauffage, à l'aide de réactions de combustion et/ou d'un mécanisme de chauffage externe, d'un combustible, qui est une source d'ions hydrogène, et d'air (ou d'oxygène) à l'intérieur de l'enceinte du réacteur, puis à ioniser localement la matière chaude au moyen d'une source de rayonnement externe, telle qu'un laser et/ou une décharge électrique et/ou une décharge micro-onde. On peut maintenir un vortex gazeux autour de la masse de plasma afin de contrôler la masse, la forme et l'emplacement du plasma. Lorsque la réaction est réalisée en présence de certains éléments de Z moyen, tels que lithium, béryllium, bore, azote ou fluor, on observe que le réacteur produit une puissance, de manière stable, jusqu'à 100 k W et plus, cette puissance étant au moins d'un facteur 1 environ et habituellement 10 environ supérieur à la puissance entrée dans le réacteur qui serait créée par la combustion classique des combustibles, puissance apportée par la source de rayonnement externe comprise.
Patent CA-2417007-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MERRY TREVOR
IPC: H04N1/44
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided, first for converting a colour image to a set of monochrome or, preferably, grayscale image components and then for producing a reconstructed colour image from such set of monochrome or grayscale image components assumed to derive from an original colour image. Preferably, the image components are Red, Green and Blue grayscale image components, such that each is associated with a different colour plane of the original colour image. The original colour image is separated into the image components by means of a colour plane separator component which extracts the independent colour plane images (Red, Green and Blue). Advantageously, the grayscale image components derived from the original image may be stored, printed and otherwise processed on an individual basis while still preserving the collective information needed to reproduce the original image.  More specifically, each image component may be separately printed on a document, for example in a covert manner, using ultraviolet (or infrared) ink, in order to provide increased security to a document. To produce a reconstructed colour image from the separately printed grayscale image components each image is scanned and associated with a colour corresponding to the colour plane associated therewith. The colour-associated image components are then processed and forwarded to an output device for combining them in their associated colours to form the reconstructed colour image.

IPC: G07F7/00
Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: The present invention discloses methods, processes and apparatus to use a location tracklog (e.g., from GPS) for metering and billing parked vehicles. These methods and processes include specialized filtering and compression programmed into small format devices mounted on vehicles and a central processing facility to collect these tracklogs for matching with parking rules and detailed parking maps of sub-meter accuracy to bill vehicle owners.   In specific, this invention benefits vehicle owners by removing all of the annoyances of using mechanically metered parking. It benefits owners and operators of parking facilities by reducing equipment costs, abuses by vehicle owners and by employees and by enabling small, uneconomical lots to become a viable source of revenue.   In general, this invention has related impacts on any billing application where distance and place (sales or service person on calls), time and position (parking), or route and distance (toll roads) are billing metrics.

Title: Moulding methods for composite articles with fibre reinforced plastic skins
Inventor: SKINNER LEE MARTIN
IPC: B29C45/34
Filed: 2001-08-20
Abstract: A method of moulding a high density composite article which, when completed, has opposed outer skins of fibre-reinforced plastics material and polymer mortar core between the skins. The method is performed by (a) providing an openable mould defining a mould (10) cavity and an injection port (15) through which polymer mortar may be introduced into the cavity; (b) opening the mould and placing within the cavity respective layers (22,24) of fibre reinforcement to form the opposed outer skins; (c) closing the mould (10) and injecting polymer mortar consisting of a resinous material loaded with high density particulate aggregate through the injection port (15) into the cavity, between the layers (22,24) of fibre reinforcement placed therein; and (d) applying sufficient pressure to the injected polymer mortar to ensure resin is separated from the polymer mortar and penetrates the said layers. The mesh size of the layers of fibrous reinforcing material is on average less than the average size of the high density particulate aggregate whereby the reinforcing material filters aggregate from the resin penetrating said layers, so that the aggregate stays within the polymer mortar core and high fibre/resin ratios are achieved in the skins.
