Patent CA-2520596-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DISHMAN JOHN F
IPC: G06K9/62
Filed: 2004-03-23
Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method are disclosed that exploit the unique higher order statistics of temporally dependent waveforms to detect and enumerate signals in a multi-signal and noise environment. The embodiments use spatial 4th-order cumulants or spatial 2nd-order moments in a Blind Source Separation operation and generalized eigenvalue decomposition to determine unique matrix pencil eigenvalues for a set of unknown signals. Sequential detection in the complex plane of the eigenvalues in associated tracks for successive blocks of sensor data serve as the basis of the detection decision.  The embodiments may include a multi~element array and do not require a priori knowledge of the signal environment to detect and enumerate the signals.

Abstract: The system assesses the endothelial function of a subject. Particularly, peripheral tissue perfusion measurements taken in a subject are compared to reference perfusion data and the comparison yields an assessment of endothelial function. The reference may be data indicative of peripheral tissue perfusion in a healthy person. Also, peripheral tissue perfusion measurements taken in a subject when perfusion is in an unperturbed state (t he reference) can be compared to perfusion measurements taken promptly after a challenge to the normal or unperturbed tissue perfusion of the subject.</SDO AB>

Patent CA-2527332-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLASCO CLARET JORGE VICENTE
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 2004-05-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of reducing the variance of a signal-to-noise ratio estimate for a signal with differential phase and coherent amplitude modulation. The invention is characterised in that, in order to calculate the samples of the noise power affecting the system, the amplitude and phase increment errors obtained at the receiver are combined, by shifting said errors (1) and (4) to the corresponding point of the first ring (6) of the constellation as if said ring had been transmitted and without undergoing any modification, in order subsequently to calculate the square of the modulus of the error vector (9). In this way, the invention minimises and equalises the variance of the samples obtained for the different even and odd values of bits for each carrier used by the system. In addition, the invention reduces the variance of the signal-to-noise ratio estimate in a multi-user digital communication system. The aforementioned estimate is necessary for selecting the number of bits per carrier, such that same can be adapted to the channel, as well as being necessary as support information when a diversity receiver is used.
Patent CA-2529052-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANCIMER RICHARD
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: A method for processing an accelerometer data set generated from an operating internal combustion engine is disclosed. The processed accelerometer data is filtered with a cepstral filter and a heat release trace is pulled from the accelerometer data set. That heat release trace is then used to estimate combustion quality and combustion phasing within the engine and control future combustion events using this information. Misfire and knock sensing is also incorporated into the engine controls. The method provides controls for an engine to allow it to adjust combustion from cycle window to cycle window generally without the need for expensive and less durable direct pressure measurement devices as compared to accelerometers. The resulting fuel injection speed results in the fuel passing through shock waves within the combustion chamber, which, in turn, promotes combustion of the fuel by promoting mixing of the fuel and intake charge within the combustion chamber.
