Title: Application program interface for message-routing and management system
Inventor: MATHEWS ROBERT
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 2001-03-12
Abstract: Transmission of messages composed on one or more input devices to a single or multiple recipients by means of one or plural communication modes is facilitated. Such communication modes may include conventional or wireless telephone, facsimile transmission, pager, e-mail, postal mail or courier. An application program interface (API) mediates between remote applications requesting messaging functions and a message server that actually implements these functions. The API is capable of processing high-volume requests for message routing, status information, and various other functions on an automated basis, enabling businesses to make routine use of these functions.

IPC: G06F/
Filed: 2001-08-14
Abstract: A timing insensitive glitch-free (TIGF) logic device which can take the form  of any latch or edge triggered flip-flop. In one embodiment, a trigger signa l is provided to update the TIGF logic device. The trigger signal is provided during a short trigger period that occurs at adjacent times from the evaluation period (figure 59). In latch form, the TIGF latch includes a flip - flop that holds the current state of the TIGF latch until a trigger signal i s received (figure 59). A multiplexer is also provided to receive the new inpu t value and the old stored value. The enable signal functions as the selector signal for the multiplexer. In flip-flop form, the TIGF flip-flop includes a  first flip-flop that holds the new input value, a second flip-flop that hold s the current stored value, and a clock edge detector. Hold time violations ar e avoided because one dedicated flip-flop stores the new input value which effectively blocks input changes during evaluation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif pour fabriquer des contenants en plastique formé par étirage-gonflage au moyen d'un moule dont l'espace intérieur correspond au contenant fini, ce contenant étant maintenu au niveau de son extrémité ouverte par un logement doté de conduites de gaz. Un poinçon d'étirage (1) mobile se déplace axialement à travers le logement et un dispositif d'allumage sert à allumer un mélange gazeux explosif à l'intérieur du récipient. L'invention vise à améliorer la fiabilité de fabrication et l'aspect extérieur du contenant en plastique, par exemple en lui conférant une paroi claire et transparente. A cet effet, le logement est mis en prise étanche aux fluides (face étanche opposée (29)) avec un bloc principal (2) de distribution au niveau de son extrémité orientée vers le contenant, le poinçon d'étirage (1) étant guidé à l'intérieur de ce bloc dans le prolongement axial du logement. Au moins un premier raccordement pour fluide (13) se trouve dans une première zone du bloc principal (2), opposée au récipient, et un autre raccordement pour fluide (14) est situé dans une deuxième zone du bloc principal (2), opposée à la première et orientée vers le récipient. Les conduites (26, 14, 15) partant des deux raccordements pour fluide (13, 14) dans la deuxième zone du bloc principal (2) sont reliées entre elles. Entre le point de raccordement (16) et le logement est disposé un seul canal d'écoulement (15) commun.

Title: Ablation par laser
Inventor: BALLING PETER
IPC: B23K26/38
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à mesurer in situ la quantité de matériau retiré par ablation par laser par impulsions laser ultracourtes. Le procédé s'appuie sur les informations géométriques fournies par la lumière rétrodiffusée du laser d'ablation. La structure temporelle de la lumière laser rétrodiffusée sert à produire une mesure exacte de la profondeur de la zone d'ablation, étant donné que la durée du cycle d'opération pour les impulsions laser courtes détermine uniquement la distance par rapport à l'objet éclairé. Pour des impulsions lasers femtosecondes, il est possible de réaliser une résolution en profondeur de quelques micromètres. Selon l'invention, l'imagerie de la lumière rétrodiffusée à partir d'une seule impulsion d'ablation fournit toutes les informations nécessaires pour dériver un profil transversal dans la région d'ablation.

Patent CA-2435028-A1 (CA)
Title: Snowmobile with pivotable rear snow flap
Inventor: FECTEAU BERTHOLD
IPC: B62M27/02
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: A snowmobile includes a chassis having a generally reduced length and a snow flap pivotally attached to the rear portion of the chassis, above the track system. The track system extends rearwardly beyond the chassis, and the snow flap shields the track system above and behind from spraying snow. The snow flap is linked to the track system so that as the track system moves through a range of travel relative to the chassis, the snow flap pivots relative to the chassis with the track system. This configuration prevents damaging contact between the tread and the undersurface of the snow flap and/or the chassis.   The reduced length of the chassis decreases the weight of the snowmobile and the polar moment of inertia, thereby improving turning performance. A bumper extends from the snow flap and can be used to lift the rear of the snowmobile more easily.

Abstract: des données d'image numérisées sont entrées dans un processeur dans lequel un élément de détection identifie les régions (objets) qui présentent un intérêt particulier dans l'image et, par segmentation, isole ces objets de l'arrière-plan. Un élément d'extraction de caractéristiques formule des valeurs numériques adaptées au travail de classification à partir des objets segmentés. Les résultats issus des opérations d'analyse précédentes sont entrés dans un classificateur de machine d'apprentissage programmée qui génère une sortie pouvant se présenter sous la forme d'un index qui permet de distinguer entre deux diagnostics possibles, ou tout autre forme de sortie dans le format requis. Selon un mode de réalisation, les données d'image numérisées sont entrées dans une pluralité de sous-systèmes comportant chacun une ou plusieurs machines à vecteur de soutien. Le prétraitement fait intervenir des transformations connues qui facilitent l'extraction des données utiles. Chaque sous-système analyse les données qui se rapportent à une caractéristique différente détectée dans l'image. Lorsque chacun des sous-systèmes a terminé son analyse et son classement, le résultat de l'ensemble des sous-systèmes est entré dans un analyseur pour machine de vecteur de soutien global qui combine les données pour formuler un diagnostic, prendre une décision ou lancer une action qui utilise les connaissances tirées de l'image.
