Patent CA-2443066-C (CA)
Title: Time slot scheduling for shared-medium communications networks
Inventor: UNITT BRIAN
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 2002-04-02
Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus for allocating time slots in a communications network , comprising a headend, a plurality of outstations, and a shared medium connecting each outstation to the headend. The method involves scheduling timeslots for each outstation responsive to the measures of distance of each outstation from the headend. The method reduces the requirement for guard bands between timeslots, since it obviates allocation of a guard band betwee n consecutive first and second timeslots where the outstation allocated the second timeslot is located no closer to the headend than the outstation allocated the first time slot. Ideally, the timeslots are allocated to outstations cyclically in ascending order of distance of the outstations fro m the headend, with the closest outstation following the farthest to complete the cycle, so that guard bands are rendered unnecessary between the majority of timeslots. In preferred embodiments distance may be round-trip delay, and the outstations and head end may be configured to form a ring network.</SDOA B>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un trocart chirurgical (10) doté d'un obturateur (14) et d'une canule (12). Ce trocart demande moins de force pour être inséré et extrait des tissus. La canule comprend un ensemble de tête (18) et l'obturateur comprend un ensemble de bouchon (22) qui présente des surfaces coopérantes qui appuient l'une contre l'autre de telle sorte que lorsque l'obturateur tourne autour de son axe (25), l'obturateur est dévié dans le sens axial (27), à l'intérieur de la canule, et peut ainsi être retiré des tissus dans lesquels il est inséré. La pointe (20) de l'obturateur et l'extrémité (64) de la canule sont conçues pour minimiser l'endommagement des tissus et l'effort d'insertion en fournissant une transition à surface lisse sans élément. Selon un aspect de l'invention, la pointe de la canule est lisse, continue et souple et peut dévier dans le sens radial lorsque l'obturateur de diamètre supérieur est inséré ou retiré dans la canule. Selon un autre aspect, la déviation axiale de l'obturateur et la tête flexible de la canule coopèrent et l'obturateur peut être dévié dans le sens axial et retiré de la canule et des tissus dans lesquels l'obturateur est inséré par une simple torsion de l'obturateur. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, une canule présente un élément d'étanchéité élastique qui réduit le risque de fuite de fluide pendant l'insertion ou le retrait d'un obturateur.

Title: Suction oil injection for rotary compressor
Inventor: PICOUET JEAN-LOUIS
IPC: F04C28/06
Filed: 2003-03-12
Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: An apparatus and system for immediately lubricating a compressor within a compressor system using a suction oil line apparatus. The compressor system comprises a compressor, a power source for operating the compressor, a tank capable of storing oil therein, a conventional oil line, and a suction oil line apparatus. The suction oil line apparatus can comprise a suction oil line and a valve. When the power source is actuated, gas is introduced into a suction cavity within the compressor, drawn into a compression chamber within the compressor, and compressed. The compressed gas is discharged into a tank thereby elevating a tank pressure. The elevated tank pressure causes the oil within the tank to be transported through the suction oil line. Transportation of the oil through the suction oil line permits immediate lubrication of the compressor to occur following start-up of the compressor, immediate being from about one second to about one minute. Start-up can comprise initiation of the compressor, movement of components within the compressor, movement of intimate components within the compressor, or actuation of the power source. When the tank pressure reaches a pre-determined pressure, the valve in the suction oil line is closed. The closed valve results in the oil being prohibited from flowing through the suction oil line and permitted to flow through the conventional oil line. As such, the compressor remains continuously lubricated. Further, immediate lubrication can be accomplished without the need for a back-pressure valve or pump.

Title: Process and apparatus for producing thermal and electric energy
Inventor: IMELAEINEN KEIJO
IPC: F22B31/04
Filed: 2003-07-22
Granted: 2011-11-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a process and apparatus for the production of thermal and electric energy in a pulp mill, in particular a sulfate pulp mill, according to which process and waste liquor of the cellulose pulp cooking liquor is concentrated, and this concentrated liquor is burned in the recovery boiler in the presence of biogenic fuels, in which case the thermal energy is recovered from the flue gases from the combustion, and this thermal en~ergy is, when so desired, converted to electric energy. According to the invention, the biogenic fuel used is wood bark or similar waste wood, which is dried to a moisture content below 30 %, whereafter it is gasified to fuel gas, which is fed into the recovery boiler. The process according to the invention makes the acquisition of a separate bark boiler in pulp mills completely unnecessary, which significantly lowers the investment costs. The process simplifies the apparatus, its operation and maintenance, and improves energy efficiency.

Abstract: A train control system includes a control module that determines a position of a train using a positioning system and consults a database to determine when the train is approaching a portion of track monitored by a track circuit. When the train is near a track circuit, but while the train is still far enough away from the track circuit such that the train can be stopped before reaching the portion of track monitored by the track circuit, the train transmits an interrogation message to a transceiver associated with the track circuit. When the track circuit receives the interrogation message, a test is initiated. The test results are transmitted back to the train. The train takes corrective action if the track circuit fails to respond or indicates a problem.

Différents groupes de commutateurs L2 sont organisés logiquement en îles. A chaque île sont connectés une pluralité de sites clients, et une matrice d'interconnexion couple les îles entre elles. Les îles coopèrent afin de former une connexion Ethernet virtuelle (VEC) vers chaque ensemble de sites clients couplés. Les clients identifient leur trafic, qui correspond à une VEC, en le marquant ou en l'étiquetant à l'aide d'un identificateur VLAN d'équipement de client (CE-VLAN ID). Dans chaque île, le CE-VLAN ID spécifié par le trafic de client (et par conséquent le VEC correspondant) est mis en correspondance avec un VLAN ID unique d'équipement de fournisseur de MAN (PEVLAN ID). Pour éviter la formation de boucles, les îles exécutent le protocole de commande Inter-MAN (IMCP), qui constitue une version modifiée du protocole MSTP.
