Patent CA-2557198-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KWAN CHEUNG
IPC: H04N21/274
Filed: 2005-02-16
Abstract: This invention relates to the automatic detection and identification of broadcast programming, for example music, speech or video that is broadcast over radio, television, the Internet or other media. ~Broadcast~ means any readily available source of content, whether now known or hereafter devised, including streaming, peer to peer delivery or detection of network traffic. A  known program is registered by deriving a numerical code for each of many short time segments during the program and storing the sequence of numerical codes and a reference to the identity of the program. Detection and identification of an input signal occurs by similarly extracting the numerical codes from it and comparing the sequence of detected numerical codes against the stored sequences. Testing criteria is applied that optimizes the rate of correct detections of the registered programming. Other optimizations in the comparison process are used to expedite the comparison process.

Abstract: DSP architectures having improved performance are described. In an exemplary architecture, a DSP includes two MAC units and two ALUs, where one of the ALUs replaces an adder for one of the two MAC units. This DSP may be configured to operate in a dual-MAC/single-ALU configuration, a single-MAC/dual-ALU  configuration, or a dual-MAC/dual-ALU configuration. This flexibility allows the DSP to handle various types of signal processing operations and improves utilization of the available hardware. The DSP architectures further includes pipeline registers that break up critical paths and allow operations at a higher clock speed for greater throughput.

Abstract: An ophthalmic eye evaluation system (10) includes a pattern (12) of alternating light and dark areas. An illumination source (14) projects the pattern (12) onto a patient's eye (16). A camera (18) captures one or more images of the pattern (12) reflected from the eye (16). A memory (20) is connected to the camera (18) for storing the images of the reflected pattern.  An edge detector (22) determines a transition point where the stored reflected pattern alternates from a light area to a dark area. The edge is determined as being at a point 50% between a maximum stored intensity level and a minimum stored intensity level.

Abstract: Input data queries directed at a plurality of target databases and originating from any of a plurality of sources are first converted to validated canonical forms, which are then used to query the target databases. Specifically, upon receiving an input data query, a relatively accurate reference database is selected based on the type of the input data. This reference is then queried for the input data with the intent of finding an exact matching record or a near-matching record that can be considered an exact match and thereby validating the input data. Otherwise, the requesting source is instructed to provide a new query. Once having a validated record, it is converted to a canonical form, which is then used to query the target databases intended to be searched. In a further embodiment, multiple reference databases are queried to determine a canonical form of the data or to determine multiple canonical forms of the data.

Title: Apparatus and method for producing a numeric display corresponding to the volume of a selected segment of an item
Inventor: WARGON KENNETH
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2005-06-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method for displaying the weight or cost of an uncut selected segment of an item involves passing a position indicating member over the item lying on a support surface. The position indicating member carves one or more sensors which generate signals corresponding to succeeding cross sectional contours of the item as the member is traversed along the item from a reference position to a selected other position over this item, defining the selected segment of the item. At the same time, a motion detector arrangement preferably comprised of one or more microelectromechanical (MEMS) accelerometer devices generates signals corresponding to motion of the position indicator support member as it is moved along the item. These signals are processed in a signal processor to determine the volume of the uncut selected segment of the item lying between selected successive positions of the indication member. Each of these cumulative volume determinations are converted into numeric weight or to contemporaneously provide an on-looking consumer weight or price information before a particular segment is cut from the item. A visible light band is projected from the sensor bar onto a section price values based on the density factor for the particular type of item, whereby numeric weight and price values (based on weight) are displayed as the member is traversed along the item, thus enabling the operator of the item to clearly show the selected segment bounds corresponding to the numeric display to the onlooker.

Title: Dynamic forwarding adjacency
Inventor: VASSEUR JEAN PHILIPPE
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2005-07-14
Abstract: A technique treats a protected forwarding adjacency (FA) as a dynamic entity in that it allows a backup tunnel associated with the FA to carry traffic for the FA, when it's primary tunnel has failed, up to a predetermined amount of time. If after the predetermined amount of time has elapsed and the FA has not recovered (e.g., the primary tunnel has not been reestablished), a network topology change is automatically triggered causing the network to converge on a new network topology. By triggering the network topology change, a path that is more optimal than the path associated with the backup tunnel may be subsequently determined to carry the traffic.
Patent CA-2573711-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUCHARME PIERRE
IPC: G01V5/02
Filed: 2007-01-10
Abstract: This new device named GMON is a Gamma MONitor that measures and reports four times a day on the snow water equivalent (SWE) and soil moisture (SM) content of a selected area. The GMON device is installed well above the maximum snow-pack thickness and measures the absorption of the natural gamma radiation through the snow cover. The sensor element is a conventional thallium doped sodium iodide scintillator NaI(Tl) coupled to custom electronics that record and analyze the gamma ray energy spectra. A numerical signal processor, enclosed within the GMON, proceeds to the analysis and the accurate calculations of SWE and SM. These calculations are based on the absorption by the snow cover of the gamma rays emitted by the naturally radioactive elements present in the ground (40K, 208Tl, etc.). The upper limit of the gamma spectrum considered for the analysis is 3 million-electron-volts (3 MeV).     Information on the SWE of the snow pack is essential to agencies involved in water management, such as Hydro-Québec. Typically, in Quebec, the snow pack cumulated at the end of winter represents annually some 30% of the total available hydraulic energy. It is also important to detect when the snow-pack begin to melt, and from there on, measure the melting rate. Those data are also of significant importance for civil safety (early flood warnings).
