Abstract: A system and method of printing lottery tickets produces a prize structure with ticket books containing all available prizes. A game generation file is then generated withholding the high tier prizes. A list of validation numbers is then created from ticket books that hold only low tier winning ticket values. In one embodiment, only validation numbers associated with tickets having no redemption value are included in the list. Individual validation numbers are then selected at random from the created list of validation numbers, and high tier ticket prize data is assigned to each record associated with a selected validation number.  The information is stored in a new file that can be contained on a separate file server from the original generation file, invoking increased access control and monitoring for additional security purposes. The new file contains the raw ticket data that is used in the printing of the tickets.

Patent CA-2769293-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MUNGAS GREGORY S
IPC: F02K9/95
Filed: 2010-07-07
Abstract: Monopropellant and pre-mixed bipropellant storage and supply systems for rocket engines and other work producing systems are subject to damage when detonation progresses upstream from a combustion chamber to and through supply lines. Interposing one or more micro porous or micro fluidic elements into the supply conduit can limit the flame front that accompanies such unintended detonation, but inevitably restrict the flow of the propellant to the combustion chamber. A tiered micro fluidic element where a bulk of the element has relatively large pores but forms a structurally robust supports a second, relatively thin region having appropriately small mean pore diameter provides an effective flashback barrier that can resist catastrophic failure during such detonations. Such elements can be used in isolation, or they can be incorporated into detonation wave arrestors or pressure wave-triggered cut-off valves or the like to decrease the incidence of unintended detonations.

The rotational energy is preferably converted to electricity by built-in generators. In addition, the apparatus comprises an arrangement so that the apparatus is adapted to move into a position corresponding to the direction of the waterflows.
Patent CA-2780209-A1 (CA)
Title: Variable performance valve
Inventor: NIEMEYER NATHAN
IPC: F02C7/232
Filed: 2010-11-04
Abstract: A variable performance valve for use in a fuel nozzle is presented. The valve includes a spring, an inner spool having a port, an outer sleeve, and an orifice, which in a fuel nozzle application may be a calibration orifice. In a low flow condition, the inlet to downstream pressure is the spring force divided by the area on which the pressure acts. At low flow the orifice does not cause any appreciable pressure drop. As the flow increases, a pressure drop develops across the orifice. Since the pressure drop across the valve cannot be greater than the spring force divided by valve area, the valve is forced to open to compensate. As flow is increased, the valve will stroke completely open and the pressure drop at the port becomes negligible and the pressure drop across the orifice is nearly 100% of the pressure drop across the valve.

Title: Methods for adaptative feedforward control in surgical system
Inventor: AGAHI DARYUSH
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 2010-11-02
Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of using feedforward to control a system component may include determining if a feedforward term exists in a feedforward table for a received operating set point. If a feedforward term does not exist, the system component may be incremented until the system is within a first acceptable tolerance of the desired set point. In some embodiments, a measure of steady state error may be determined and compared to a second acceptable tolerance. If within the acceptable tolerance, the corresponding feedforward term may be recorded in the feedforward table. In some embodiments, if the feedforward term exists for the operating set point, the system component may be controlled using controller output that corresponds to the feedforward term. When a change to the system is detected that is associated with possible changes to the feedforward values, new feedforward values may be generated for the feedforward table.

Title: Forward error correction on multiplexed cdma channels enabling high performance coding
Inventor: PROCTOR JAMES A
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: A protocol for optimizing the use of coded transmissions such as over wireless links. In this technique, interframes are first split into segments selected to be an optimum size according to transmission characteristics of the radio channel. Segments are assigned a position identifier and redundancy check sum. Segments are then assembled into blocks and a forward error correction algorithm is applied to the block to generate redundancy bits. The FEC block is then split up among available communication channels and forwarded to the receiver. The inverse process is applied at the receiver. Using this scheme, only segments containing erroneous data need to be resent. A large block size required for high performance forward error correction may therefore be used while at the same time minimizing latencies associated with the need to resend entire blocks when errors cannot be recovered.

Inventor: HONG YING CHI DAVID
IPC: B60S5/00
Filed: 2012-09-05
Abstract: The utility model discloses a valve with at least two active positions. When set at the first position, the valve can be connected to a first channel; while set at the second position, the valve can be connected to a second channel, in which, the valve constitutes a part of the structure of a compression plant, preferentially a compression plant in a tyre repair kit. The tyre repair kit also comprises at least a cassette with a sealing mass. The valve mentioned in the invention serves as a rotary valve, which, once set at the first position, forms a channel through which compressed air flows to an outlet, and once set at the second position, forms the other channel through which compressed air flows to the cassette with a sealing mass. By using the rotary valve, the compression plant in the tyre repair kit is not only used for connecting to a punctured tyre requiring for repair, but also for other purposes. For instance, the compression plant can be used occasionally for measuring tire pressure in automobile, pushcart or bicycle wheels, or even used for other purposes basically unrelated to vehicles.
