Patent CA-2281711-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAKER ROY S
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: An aircraft electric power distribution system comprises two electric power generators each producing output electric power which is coupled to aircraft electrical loads by distribution feeders having electric power switching devices interposed therein. These switching devices are operative to interrupt and enable distribution of the electric power to the aircraft loads. The system of the instant invention further comprises electric power distribution controllers which are in wireless communication with each of the switching devices. Preferably, control information is transmitted to the switching devices individually through the use of contactor addressing information to command interruption or enablement of the electric power distribution. Additionally, status information is transmitted from the switching devices to the controllers, either individually through controller addressing or collectively. Interference between aircraft is avoided through the use of vehicle addressing information and/or low power control and status signal transmissions. The switching devices include a digital signal processor and a logic processor for receiving, decoding, conditioning, and controlling the main contactor portion of the device. Additionally, the switching devices include current sensing capability for sensing, scaling, and transmitting the current flow information to the controllers for use thereby. The position of the main contactor portion of the smart contactor is also monitored and transmitted for use by the controllers.

Patent CA-2287231-A1 (CA)
Title: Implementation of signalling in a telecommunications network
Inventor: JAEAEMIES JUHANI
IPC: H04W92/12
Filed: 1998-04-09
Abstract: The invention relates to an implementing signalling in a telecommunications network, particularly in a mobile network. In the method, one network element (BSC) serves as a master element and several other network elements serve as slave elements (BTS1...BTS4) sending a transmission request for signalling information to the master element which assigns transmission turns in accordance with received transmission requests. The signalling is implemented on a signalling channel common to the slave network elements, comprising at least one time slot of the transmission frame, or part of such a time slot. In order that the transmission requests might be forwarded to destination rapidly without unnecessarily occupying transmission capacity, in the transmission from the slave elements to the master element (a) the capacity of the signalling channel used is divided into a first subchannel on which transmission requests are sent and to a second subchannel on which actual signalling information is sent, and (b) the subchannel allocated to transmission requests is further divided between several different base stations in such a way that a predetermined bit from the same time slot of the transmission frame is assigned for the use of transmission requests of each base station, and thus several different slave elements can send a transmission request simultaneously to the master element.

Patent CA-2290560-A1 (CA)
Title: Resealable closure and method of making same
Inventor: HEBERT ROBERT CHARLES
IPC: B65D75/58
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A flexible package for a product includes a resealable closure for resealing one portion of the package to an opposing portion of the package. The resealable closure is formed by applying a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the inner surface of at least one of the opposing portions of the package, and applying a layer of cohesive to the inner surface of both of the opposing portions so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is covered by a layer of cohesive. The pressure-sensitive adhesive has a greater affinity for adhering to the cohesive than to the inner surface of the package. Accordingly, pressure-sensitive adhesive is detached from the inner surface of the package when the opposing portions are pulled apart, and the portions can be resealed by pressing the portions back together to cause the pressure-sensitive adhesive to adhere to the portion from which is was detached.

Title: Anonymous web site user information communication method
Inventor: RAJCHEL SUZANNE KENNEDY
IPC: G06F21/31
Filed: 1999-11-30
Abstract: A method of anonymously providing user information while browsing internet web sites by inputting a data information record into storage, dynamically generating a user alias, linking the user alias with the user data record to form a user information record (UIR) and then transmitting the anonymous user information record automatically or in response to user commands. This alias identification is transmitted to a remote internet operating computer of a web site that receives the information inputted for collecting information, such as statistical or demographic information. Once the combined UIR has been formed, a communication protocol of the invention allows the user to deliver the UIR to any web site that is accessed. The protocol of the invention also allows the web site operator to read the UIR and aggregate any information it desires about the user. However, as noted, the web site can only gain access to the user's alias identification in combination with the user data.  In this way the web site is enabled to collect general demographic information about its user base while being isolated from the true identity of the user. With such privacy the quality of the demographic information can be improved and the statistical reliability is improved by detection of repeat hits by the same user.
