Patent CA-2323254-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZELEY ALMOS
IPC: H01B7/29
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: The electrical cable has a double-layer conductor insulation whose inner layer consists of a halogen-free, flame-retardant polymer network and whose outer layer at least partly comprises an oil-resistant plastic. According to the invention, the inner layer consists of a polyolefin containing aluminium hydroxide and/or magnesium hydroxide and the outer layer consists of a polyester elastomer, compatible with the polyolefin of the inner layer, and/or a mechanically strong polymer. According to the invention, the polymers of the two layers are chosen so that the latter adhere to one another in the extruded state. To increase the adhesion between the two layers further, a compatibilizer (e.g. a block copolymer) or a reactive terpolymer which permits linking of functional groups between the layers can additionally be mixed with the at least one polymer of the inner layer and/or with the at least one polymer of the outer layer.

Title: Face synthesis system and methodology
Inventor: TALKIN DAVID
IPC: G06T13/20
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: A system and method for synthesizing a facial image, compares a speech frame from an incoming speech signal with acoustic features stored within visually similar entries in an audio-visual codebook to produce a set of weights. The audio-visual codebook also stores visual features corresponding to the acoustic features. A composite visual feature is generated as a weighted sum of the corresponding visual features, from which the facial image is synthesized. The audio-visual codebook may include multiple samples of the acoustic and visual features for each entry, which corresponds to a sequence of one or more phonemes.

Patent CA-2329164-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WOODS JOHN T
IPC: F03G3/00
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: This weight motor utilizes the radial deflection which occurs in a spiral bevel pinion gear when, through a hinged-shaft yoke assembly, pressure upon the pinion shaft causes it to "attack" another spiral bevel gear (of more than 1.6 times* the diameter of the pinion gear) in the "unpreferred," convex-to- convex rotational direction. The net effect of such a choice of attack direction - related to the rotational direction of the larger spiral gear -is that, in spite of its apparent pressure against the larger gear's rotation, the smaller pinion must relent to all the forces imposed by the larger gear, but it is the radial deflection across the face of the smaller spiral gear which most influences the degree of success of the system. The closed-loop, gear and sprocket train of this design allows rotational energy to be drawn from one side of the main gear, to be reused at the other side of the main gear to keep it rotating, deflecting, and adding usable energy to the system.      I.e. gravitational/pressure energy is converted to rotational energy.     Of the three forces which are generated when a spiral bevel pinion engages a larger spiral bevel gear (including the tangential force and the axial force), it is the radial force it receives which can be used to transfer more than enough force to compensate for frictional factors, to the other side of the anchor gear. More than half of the leveraged pressure against the anchor gear is referred to the distal side of the pinion gear, and thence - via three shafts, two gears, two sprockets, a chain, and a second spiral bevel pinion which is equatorially opposite the initial pinion - to the preferred, concave-to-concave attack side of the anchor gear.        NOTE: The spiral pinion gear which engages the anchor gear on the preferred side does not encounter a significant degree of radial deflection force. Although its received axial force is greater, it does not seriously hinder the degree of tangential force conveyed to the anchor gear so long as there is a low-friction bearing/jewel system to accommodate that axial force.   * The actual ratio at which this begins to occur has been calculated to be 1.57357, but a higher ratio further helps to offset inaccuracies and friction, and to increase deflection values.

Patent CA-2356918-A1 (CA)
Title: Use of lower ip-address bits
Inventor: WINELL STAFFAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system in which the lower address bits of an IP address are used as a mobile station's short identifier.  According to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the operator of a MSC/PMSC node is normally assigned, from an ISP, several class C-networks to provide to its packet mobile subscribers. When these networks are chosen with the same high order bits, as is most often the case, it is possible to directly map the lower bits of the IP-address to a unique key value that could be used within the node. For a PPDC-node, this key value can be used as a short mobile station identifier in the LAPDm protocol. For other data-link protocols on other platforms, it is also possible to use the new key value as a short identifier for the mobile station. Therefore, the translation process turns simply into a matter of adding or removing the high order bits in order to convert the IP address into the mobile station identifier.
