Patent CA-2518386-A1 (CA)
Title: A device for detection of road surface condition
Inventor: FRIDTHJOF JACK
IPC: B60T8/172
Filed: 2004-03-15
Abstract: A device is disclosed for detection of surface properties or conditions, in particular detection of water, snow and ice and in particular to read surfaces by means of detector means mounted on individual vehicles, and transmitting the data from the vehicle, preferably together with position data of the vehicle, to be used by drivers of other vehicles for warning of slippery road conditions ahead of the vehicle. According to a particular aspect, it has been realised that the fact that polarized light which is mirror reflected by e.g.  ice or water on a surface, preserves its polarization, whereas polarized light which is diffuse reflected largely becomes depolarized, may be utilised to separate the two types of reflection and thus provide a much more compact sensor device for surface properties, in which the light may be emitted close to or parallel to the road surface normal.

Patent CA-2522096-A1 (CA)
Title: Concurrent access of shared resources
Inventor: LUCKE KYLE ALAN
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2004-04-15
Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method to manage access to a shared resource by a plurality of processes in a multithreaded computer via a collection of atomic operations that track both the order in which requests that use a shared resource are received, and the order in which processing of such requests are completed after they are received. Dispatching of requests is effectively deferred until processing of all non-dispatched requests that were received earlier than a most recently completed request has been completed. In many instances, completion of processing of requests can be performed non-atomically, thus reducing contention issues with respect to the shared resource. Furthermore, dispatching of requests may be batched to reduce the overhead associated with individual dispatch operations.

Patent CA-2524242-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAUTHIER BRUNO
IPC: G02B27/14
Filed: 2005-10-21
Abstract: A scanning optical delay line includes an optical path element that rotates about its central axis, such that a face is intermittently incident a beam of light to be optically delayed. When the beam is not incident the face, it is reflected onto a reinsertion line which provides a second opportunity for the beam to intersect the optical path element. The optical path element may include one or more parallelogram prisms, or parallel reflective surfaces to provide a substantially linear optical path length variation during the scan, which is produced by the rotation of the optical path element. A highly linear part of the rotation can be maximally used providing a high duty cycle, high linearity scanning optical delay line that permits high quality, high data rate applications.
