Patent CA-2478628-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASS JAMES
IPC: H01Q1/12
Filed: 2003-03-04
Abstract: A combination of near omni-directional antennas and internal patch antennas, all built into an access point in accordance with FCC requirements. Typically a printed antenna array is used for the near omni-directional antenna, and the internal patch antenna is a TM10 mode stacked patch antenna. A mechanical detect switch changes antenna types automatically, depending on the rotation state of the antenna system. Alternately, a configuration utility enables a user to select the antenna type for the access point when it is installed in the field. This arrangement gives the UNII access point flexibility to be mounted in various orientations and match the characteristics of the antenna to the installation requirements.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-10-05
Abstract: Systems and methods for indexing and retrieving images are described herein. The systems and methods analyze an image to determine its texture moments. The pixels of the image are converted to gray scale.      Textural attributes of the pixels are determined. The textural attributes are associated with the local texture of the pixels and are derived from coefficients of Discrete Fourier Transform associated with the pixels.      Statistical values associated with the textural attributes of the pixels are calculated. The texture moments of the image are determined from the statistical value.

Patent CA-2491081-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARRY ALAN F
IPC: A01C7/08
Filed: 2004-12-29
Abstract: An air seed meter for an agricultural planter includes a vacuum cover which has a central opening which exposes the central portion of the seed disc to the exterior. The central opening of the vacuum cover is centered on a location offset from the axis of rotation of the seed disc. This reduces disc wear at the disc-vacuum cover interface, and renders the disc more accessible for self-cleaning, visual inspection and verification of the proper disc. Openings in the central, open portion of the disc, the back wall of the seed housing and the side wall of the seed housing cooperate to equalize the air pressure in the seed reservoir to atmospheric pressure and reduce or eliminate reverse air currents in the discharge chute. An adjustable brush with three separate stations cooperates with an edge-release, beveled disc to apply a progressively more forceful singulation force to eliminate duplicate seeds.

Title: Method of determining the unbalance of a laundry drum
Inventor: ZEH STEFAN
IPC: D06F34/16
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: Before a washing machine (11) is switched over to a very high spin speed in the spin program of the washing machine, the existing imbalance on the basis of irregular distribution of laundry (12) in the drum (13) should be checked once again from the instantaneous spin speed and possibly the spin program should be broken off if there is a threat of excessively high bearing forces occurring. Because the fluctuation in rotary speed in the course of a revolution with a high mass inertia, as a consequence of a high drum loading, is scarcely still measurable and recording of the periodic fluctuation in the ac power taken by the drum drive (14) from the domestic mains network (22) is dominatingly superimposed by the mains network frequency and other network interference influences, the fluctuation, which is at high frequency in dependence on drum speed, of the power consumption (dP/dt) of the washing machine motor (14) is implemented downstream of the direct current intermediate circuit (26) prior to the feed thereof into the inverter (18) for producing the rotary field in the motor (14), where product formation from the current (28) and the voltage (29) for imbalance measurement by determining power (dP/dt) is blocked off in relation to mains network interference effects by the high capacitance (25) of the direct current intermediate circuit (26).
