Patent CA-2334175-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OZIN GEOFFREY A
IPC: H01L27/15
Filed: 1999-06-04
Abstract: There are provided mesoporous silica materials containing in their pores stabilized clusters of silicon atoms, of size 2 nanometers or less, and capable of photoluminescence to emit fast photons. They are prepared by chemical vapour deposition of silicon or a silicon precursor such as disilane, under soft conditions such as temperature of 100-150 ~C, into the mesopores of silicate films which have mesoporous channels prepared by growth of the films using a template to control their sizes, but without removing the template residues from the films prior to the chemical vapour deposition. The template residues serve to limit the size of the silicon clusters which conform. The use of the soft conditions on CVD retains the template residues in an intact, substantially unchanged form. The resultant films have clusters of silicon, of 2 nanometer size or less, anchored to the mesopores, and air stable, so that they can be used in optoelectronic devices in conjunction with standard silicon semiconductors.
Patent CA-2342821-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WINSOR RICHARD EDWARD
IPC: F02M61/14
Filed: 2001-03-28
Abstract: An integrated unit pump injector that includes a cam follower, unit pump, injection line and injection nozzle is pre-assembled for installation in an engine block and cylinder head.   By pre-assembling the integrated unit pump injector, the assembly can be tested for fuel leaks, injection timing and volume of fuel delivered by the pump without first installing the individual devices in an engine. Variation in fuel output, injection timing and fuel volume is reduced while engine assembly time and cost is also reduced. The integrated unit pump injector orients the pump and nozzle on parallel axes and requires that the pump bore in the block and the nozzle bore in the cylinder head also be parallel to enable the injector and pump to be fixed relative to one another prior to installation and both installed simultaneously by movement in the direction parallel to their axes.

Patent CA-2350143-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KRUEGER VOLKER
IPC: E21B7/08
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a drilling assembly that includes a mud motor that rotates a drill bit and a set of independently expandable ribs. A stabilizer uphole of the ribs provides stability. A second set of ribs may be disposed on the drilling assembly. Vertical and curved holes are drilled by rotating the drill bit by the mud motor and by independently adjusting the rib forces. The drill string is not rotated. Inclined straight sections and curved sections may be drilled by independent adjustment of the rib forces and by rotating the drill bit with the motor, without rotating the drill string. Inclined sections or curved sections in the vertical plane are drilled by superimposing the drillstring rotation on the mud motor rotation and by setting the rib forces to the same predetermined values. Rib forces are adjusted if the drilling direction differs from the defined inclination. The system is self-adjusting and operates in a closed loop manner. Inclination and navigation sensor data are processed by a downhole controller.. The force vectors may be programmed in the downhole controller. Command signals from a surface controller may be sent to initiate the setting and/or adjustment of the rib forces or the rib force vector.

Patent CA-2354285-A1 (CA)
Title: Method, system and apparatus for transmitting interleaved data between stations
Inventor: CASTURA JEFFREY P
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: A system for transmitting data between stations, such as base stations and subscriber stations in a wireless telecommunications system, employs variable offsets for its interleaving operations. By using different offsets with the interleavers, data which would otherwise be synchronously aligned when transmitted from a station to many stations, or from many stations to a station, will not be aligned after interleaving has been performed. This reduces the peak to average ratio required for a transmitter and/or can reduce interference experienced at receivers in the system. This is especially true if a significant proportion of the otherwise aligned signals are symbols which require zero energy to transmit.
