Patent CA-2295974-C (CA)
Title: Device for inputting title of recording medium
Inventor: SATO MAKOTO
IPC: G11B27/11
Filed: 1998-05-20
Granted: 2002-01-15
Abstract: A device for inputting the title of a recording medium readily. When a capturing key of a tuner unit (1) is depressed, a first system controller (7) stores the text information, received currently by an FM multiplexed text broadcasting receiving tuner (3), in a capturing buffer region (5B) of a memory (5). When the disc title of an MD-MO (11) is to be inputted, a title inputting mode is established, and the disc is selected as an input target unit. Thereafter, when a call key and an ENTER key are depressed, the first system controller (7) stores the captured text information in a title inputting region (5C) of the memory (5) in such a way that the information corresponds to the disc which is the input target unit.      Thereafter, when the ENTER key and a title inputting key are depressed, the first system controller (7) sends the contents of the title inputting region (5C) to an MD recorder unit (10) and a second system controller (17) records the contents in a UTOC area of the MD-MO (11) before the ejection.

Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: A method of preparing OSB (oriented strand board) binders consisting of modified tannins in solid particulate form and dry blended in a specific manner with spray dried phenolic resole adhesives, the hybrid polymer mix made without the inclusion of any additional formaldehyde 'donors' normally used with the tannin binders. The novel dry mix of specific ratios of dry tannin/phenolic powders when applied to OSB wood wafers and strands in the OSB mill blender allows the mill to implement a reliable new OSB binder adhesive system comprising of various in-situ reactions of the synthetic/natural polymer components in the OSB mill press and finished board. The produced OSB boards exhibit mechanical strength and water resistance properties equal to or superior to OSB boards made with the spray dried phenolic adhesives normally used as the sole OSB binder. The formaldehyde emissions from board pressing operations and from the final finished OSB board are reduced because the tannin acts as a formaldehyde "scavenger" in-situ. The OSB produced with the novel binder mix shows improved mould growth resistance.

Title: Method of mapping fibre channel frames based on control and type header fields
Inventor: ROACH BRADLEY
IPC: G06F13/14
Filed: 1999-04-26
Granted: 2002-08-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing and transferring frames of data in a computer link that maps incoming frames to a specific buffer ring in host memory (312) based on routing control and type fields in each frame. More particularly, a Fibre Channel link port (302) contains receiver routing code  (RRCode) registers (400) that allow host software to set up routing control (R_CTL) match and mask fields, and TYPE match and mask fields. The link port  uses these registers to match and mask against corresponding R_CTL/TYPE fiel ds in a received frame to determine which of several R_CTL/TYPE host memory buffer rings should be used to store the received frame. The link port place s a code (RRCode) in a start of frame (SOF) status word associated with a fram e. The RRCode indicates a specific R_CTL/TYPE host memory buffer ring, or indicates that no match was found or that multiple matches were found. A protocol engine (306) reads the RRCode field in the SOF status word of the received frame, and queues a direct memory access (DMA) operation to an appropriate R_CTL/TYPE buffer ring. The host may then process the contents o f the indicated buffer ring. Since the buffer rings are "pre-sorted" as to fra me type, the host may more efficiently respond to incoming frames.

Title: Matrix-encoded surround-sound channels in a discrete digital sound format
Inventor: CALLAHAN RAYMOND E JR
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1999-04-30
Granted: 2007-09-25
Abstract: More than two surround-sound channels are provided within the format of a digital soundtrack system designed to provide only two surround-sound channels by matrix encoding from three to five additional surround-sound channels into two "discrete" surround-sound channels. The digital audio stream of the digital soundtrack system designed to provide only two surround-sound channels remains unaltered, thus providing compatibility with existing playback equipment. The format of the media carrying the digital soundtracks also is unaltered.  The "discreteness" of the digital soundtrack system is not audibly diminished by employing matrix technology to surround-sound channels, particularly if active matrix decoding is employed.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-06-30
Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) is used to quickly and easily find data patterns within a data sequence that match a target data pattern representing an event of interest. The user first specifies the target data pattern either by dragging a cursor over the target or by selecting the target from a palette of predefined trend patterns. Search criteria, such as a match threshold and amplitude and duration constraints, are then specified. A pattern recognition technique is then used to find data patterns within the data sequence that satisfy the search criteria.  These matching data patterns are then presented to the user ranked by similarity, avoiding the need for the user to sift through large amounts of irrelevant data. Particular pattern recognition algorithms are also disclosed.

Abstract: A hammer drill with rolling contact at the contact surfaces for transmission of axial force between a drive shaft and hammer shaft. In the case of ball bearings, point contact is obtained. In the case of roller bearings, line contact is obtained.  The area of contact is thus close to zero as opposed to a relatively large area in engagement systems using toothed surfaces. Use of point or line contact reduces heat generation and reduces energy loss due to friction.
