Title: Clothes dryer with movable rear panel spacer
Inventor: FORGET FRANCIS
IPC: D06F58/20
Filed: 2002-10-24
Abstract: A clothes dryer has a rear panel and an exhaust vent passing through the rear panel. The exhaust vent is adapted to be connected with a flexible venting hose. The spacer is pivotally mounted to the rear panel of the clothes dryer for movement between an upright shipping position extending adjacent the dryer rear panel and a lowered position extending out and away from the dryer rear panel for maintaining a predetermined distance between the rear panel of the dryer and a room wall adjacent to which the clothes dryer is adapted to be positioned. The spacer has a cover member which is adapted to at least partially cover the exhaust vent when the spacer is in the upright position to prevent connection of a flexible venting hose to the dryer exhaust vent. The spacer of the present invention insures that a predetermine distance is maintained between the rear panel of the dryer and a room wall adjacent to which the dryer is positioned so as to prevent kinking of the flexible heating hose.

IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un appareil de commande d'équipement à commande stabilisatrice lors de l'identification d'un paramètre de modèle d'un modèle d'objet de commande obtenu par modélisation d'un équipement à contrôler et par commande de mode de glissement au moyen du paramètre de modèle identifié. Un identificateur de paramètre de modèle (22) calcule un vecteur de paramètre de modèle ( theta ) en ajoutant un vecteur de mise à jour (d theta ) à un vecteur de référence ( theta base) du paramètre de modèle. Une valeur précédente d'au moins un des éléments du vecteur de mise à jour (d theta ) est multipliée par une valeur prédéterminée supérieure à 0 et inférieure à 1, ce qui permet de corriger le vecteur de mise à jour (d theta ). Le vecteur de mise à jour (d theta ) est ajouté, une fois corrigé, au vecteur de référence ( theta base), afin de calculer le vecteur  theta du paramètre de modèle.

Abstract: A casino game method and system is set forth for house banked games such as Blackjack, Baccarat, Pai Gow and the like where each participating player makes a first wager to participate in the house banked game and a second wager to form a player competition pot. The first wagers are resolved according to the rules of the game. The second wagers are combined into a pot which is awarded to the player having the highest or lowest hand ranking. In the event of a tie the pot may be shared or carried over to subsequent hands until there is a single winner. The system provides for a host processor communicating with player terminals from which the players can control the game action. To provide a profit to the casino, at least a portion of the pot is awarded if the house hand has a certain holding.

Title: Method and apparatus for a web-based application service model for security management
Inventor: YU JOHN J
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-08-15
Abstract: The invention combines cryptographic key management technology with various authentication options and the use of a companion PKI system in a web-centri c cryptographic key management security method and apparatus called (PXa3TM Precise eXtensible Authentication, Authorization and Administration). The (PXa3) model uses a security profile unique to a network user and the member  domain(s) he/she belongs to. A PXa3 server holds all private keys and certificates, the user's security profile, including credentials and the optional authentication enrollment data. The server maintains a security profile for each user, and administrators simply transmitted credential updates and other periodic maintenance updates to users via their PXa3 serve r- based member accounts. Domain and workgroup administrators also perform administrative chores via a connection to the (PXa3) web site, rather than o n a local workstation. A member's security profile, containing algorithm acces s permissions, credentials, domain and maintenance values, a file header encrypting key, optional biometric templates, and domain-specific policies i s contained in one of two places: either on a removable cryptographic token (e.g., a smart card), or on a central server-based profile maintained for ea ch member and available as a downloadable "soft token" over any Internet connection.

Patent CA-2437003-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUDIS EDUARDO
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 2003-08-12
Abstract: Errors are detected in a decoded video signal that has been processed at least partly in data blocks, such as MPEG-2 compression macroblocks or other block processed data, by discerning the appearance of a pattern of contrast in the decoded output video signal around the perimeter of an area corresponding to a processed block of pixels. In a compression technique, an error affecting one more members of a block of pixels generally affects the entire block. In the absence of an error, processed blocks most typically merge imperceptibly into one another with pixel values that may change little, if at all, across the border between abutting blocks. The error alters this situation and makes at least one of the blocks perceptible among the abutting blocks due to distinct contrast between the blocks. Image processing techniques are employed to discern an apparent block and thereby to discriminate for errors. The errors can be handled as appropriate, such as by generating an alarm, triggering a substitution of signal sources, repeating a stored block or the like.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing for high egr gaseous-fuelled direct injection internal combustion engine
Inventor: MCTAGGART-COWAN GORDON P
IPC: F02D21/08
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for adjusting pilot fuel injection timing in relation to a main fuel injection timing into a piston cylinder of an operating gaseous-fuelled direct injection internal combustion engine using high levels of EGR. A set of engine parameters are monitored which determine engine load and engine speed and an indicator of EGR concentration within the intake charge. Pilot fuel timing relative to main fuel injection timing is then adjusted according to the engine parameters. High levels of EGR are shown to be tolerated with relatively limited penalties in regards to other emissions typically found with high EGR by reducing the relative injection timing the pilot fuel as compared to main fuel injection timing.
