Patent CA-2728323-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PAWAR HEMANTH BALAJI
IPC: H04L1/16
Filed: 2009-05-28
Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that support the aggregation of acknowledgement messages and control messages.  Advantageously, acknowledgement and negative acknowledgement indications for multiple client nodes are combined into a single aggregated message which is broadcast or multicast to the multiple client nodes. Based on unique identifiers assigned to each client node, client nodes are grouped such that the aggregated acknowledgement messages can be efficiently encoded to conserve both network capacity when they are transmitted, as well as processing capacity when they are parsed by the client nodes. If code division multiple access (CDMA) technology is used, the aggregated acknowledgment message can be transmitted without CDMA spreading to effectively broadcast or multicast it to multiple client nodes.  A similar technique can be employed for the efficient broadcast or multicast of aggregated control messages.

Abstract: To reduce radar cells and to improve the detection of a radar system, particularly a high-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR), the broadcast system (SEM) is capable of broadcasting basic orthogonal signals two by two and each orthogonal to itself, temporally shifted to form, respectively, broadcast radiation patterns, each including main radiation lobes (LP1, LPN) alternating with secondary lobes, the main lobes associated with the basic signals being substantially juxtaposed in space. The receiving system (SRE) is capable of forming as many reception patterns in a monitored receiving area (ZR) as cells (CESnm) contained in the receiving area that are covered by main radiation lobes (LPn) from one of the broadcast radiation patterns and located at a bistatic distance from the broadcast and receiving systems.

Abstract: Point Locus is designed as way finding aid for the visually impaired as they travel outdoors. This system will take advantage of one of the most important senses for visually impaired users: touch. Our goal is to design a product that improves the lifestyles of visually impaired people in a meaningful way. It needs to be something practical that complements their natural adaptations to their disability and extends their limitations. It will be a cost effective solution that improves their way finding ability, making them much more independent when traveling.     The turning point for the project was approaching people with visual impairments and interviewing them, in order to gain a more intimate understanding of how they live their lives. Eventually, this lead to addressing the question of what areas of their lives they most would like some kind of improvement, technologically or otherwise. Independence for traveling was at or near the top of every participant's list, which caught us on to what would be our central design problem and concept base for the entire project.     Once we had this concept in mind, and recognized global positioning systems as a revolutionary technology in pursuit of this, we started developing ideas with potential. Our earliest version of the system we have designed in the end included the navigation element using rangefinding devices, described earlier, and a location-tagging device, meant to allow our users to easily retrace their steps, and recognize important locations in their environment by simply being near them.   Soon after brainstorming these early ideas for our system, the vibrating belt concept emerged, and it was this element that stayed with us the longest. We built our first prototype and conducted our first user sessions using this concept, and our final form eventually evolved from it.

Abstract: Video conference rate matching may be provided. A video conference server may receive video source streams from clients on a video conference. The server may analyze each client's capabilities and choose a video stream to send to each client based on those capabilities. For example, a client capable of encoding and decoding a high definition video stream may provide three source video streams - a high definition stream, a medium resolution stream, and a low resolution stream. The server may send only the low resolution stream to a client with a low amount of available bandwidth. The server may send the medium resolution stream to another client with sufficient bandwidth for the high definition stream, but which lacks the ability to decode the high definition stream.

Abstract: The adaptive reference model algorithm uses a gain scheduling feature combined with a customized Least-Squares routine as an adaptive method for adjusting feedback control so as to account for variations in Transfer Function (G), thereby optimizing the effectiveness of the Active Vibration Control (AVC) System. The Least-Squares routine identifies the transfer function in a background process without interruption of closed loop vibration control.  This identification approach is accomplished without intentional interrogation of the AVC actuators and without intentional vibration level changes. For this adaptive control logic, the dynamic relationship between AVC actuators and AVC sensors is represented by a mathematical model of Transfer Function (G). The mathematical model of Transfer Function (G) is continuously updated by the Least-Squares routine. A feedback gain (H) is computed from the mathematical model of Transfer Function (G), and the feedback gain (H) is updated each time the mathematical model of Transfer Function (G) is updated.
