Title: Non-contact type data carrier label
Inventor: SAKASHITA HITOSHI
IPC: G09F3/00
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: A non-contact type data carrier label has a data carrier for storing information and a support member for holding the data carrier, and it is able to attach to a product.  The support member has a holding portion for holding the data carrier and paste portion to be pasted on the product in a attachable/detachable manner. A releasable type adhesive layer is formed on the support member.  Thus, the data carrier label can be attached to and detached from the product more easily compared with that of conventional one.
Patent CA-2216185-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROSS ROYCE ALLAN
IPC: B60P1/43
Filed: 1997-09-17
Abstract: A deck portion of a trailer is pivotal relative to a main deck portion about a horizontal axis to allow an outer edge of the deck portion to be pivoteddownwardly into contact with the ground for loading onto the main deck. Movement of the deck portion is actuated by a hinged strut which is inclined upwardly and outwardly from an inner end underneath the pivot axis to an outer end outwardly of the pivot axis. The hinge point of the strut is pushed inwardly and outwardly by a cylinder to effect movement of the strut to a straight position for raising the deck portion and to a folded position for lowering the deck portion. A stop member locates the strut in a slightly over center position in the raised position.

Title: Process and apparatus for the manufacture of a cooking vessel by roll forming
Inventor: KUJANP VELI PEKKA
IPC: B21D22/14
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: The invention is related to a process and apparatus for the manufacture of a cooking vessel, such as a frying pan (12) or a kettle from a metal blank.  According to the invention, the vessel is manufactured by roll forming techniques by using a lower tool (3) that rotates around its axis (2), the form face (6, 7) of the lower tool being designed so that it correponds to the outer surface of the thus created vessel, and an upper tool (5) that rotates around its axis (4), the surface (9, 10) of the upper tool having a profile that corresponds to the inner surface formed to the vessel. The blank is placed on the form face of the lower tool and the tools (3, 5) are then made to rotate so that the blank rotates along with the lower tool (3), and the surface of the upper tool (5) is in linear roll contact with the blank, whereby the metal is formed in the slot between the tools, spreading out into the desired form of the vessel. In the manufacture of the frying pan (12), the blank may be a straight piece of sheet, whereby the rising sides of the pan are formed in the roll forming with the blank spreading radially outwards at its edges. In connection with the forming, the outer and inner surfaces of the vessel can be provided with patterns consisting of protrusions and/or recesses.

Title: Discharge lamp driving bridge circuit
Inventor: MAHESHWARI AJAY
IPC: H05B41/38
Filed: 1997-12-10
Abstract: A discharge lamp driving circuit includes DC voltage input connections, lamp driving connections, bridge circuitry, and control circuitry. The bridge circuitry is connected to the DC voltage input connections and to the lamp driving connections and includes circuit elements which in one mode of operation deliver a higher frequency AC voltage to the lamp driving connections and in another mode of operation deliver a lower frequency AC voltage to the lamp driving connections. The control circuitry is connected to control the bridge circuitry selectively as either a half-bridge to deliver the higher frequency AC voltage to the lamp driving connections during starting or a full- bridge to deliver only the lower frequency AC operating voltage to the lamp while the lamp is operating normally after starting. A low frequency driver and a high frequency driver are connected to drive the bridge circuitry.

Patent CA-2226047-A1 (CA)
Title: Center conductor receptacle
Inventor: SCHOOTS RICHARD
IPC: H01R4/18
Filed: 1997-12-30
Abstract: The invention relates to center conductor receptacles for coaxial cable center conductors.  The invention seeks to solve the problem of providing a secure conductive contact between a coaxial cable center conductor and the center conductor receptacle into which it is inserted. The invention is a center conductor receptacle that has an open end for the insertion of the center conductor and a hollow interior cavity within which the center conductor sits, wherein at least one portion of the wall that defines the interior cavity is closer to the longitudinal axis of the receptacle than are other portions of the wall.  The invention solves the stated problem because the closer portion of the interior wall makes a stress contact with the inserted center conductor, thereby enhancing the contact between it and the interior wall.

Title: Universal rf receiver
Inventor: HEDSTROM MARK D
IPC: H03D3/00
Filed: 1996-07-31
Abstract: A universal receiver (10) for processing RF signals modulated by various analog and digital modulation techniques. The receiver (10) includes a down converter (52) for converting received RF signals to in-phase and quadrature zero IF signals, and active low pass filter (106, 108) for channel selection and an up converter (132, 134) for converting the channel selected in-phase and quadrature zero IF signals to an IF signal. Only moderate system gain is introduced at zero IF in order to avoid increasing any DC offsets. The receiver (10) further includes DC offset compensation circuitry and a period-to-digital (P/D) converter (260) for quantizing the IF signal. A signal processor (35) equalizes and demodulates the IF signal to recover the transmitted signal.

Title: On-the-go from the tractor seat windrow adjustment
Inventor: HANSON BRIAN
IPC: A01D82/00
Filed: 1998-06-19
Abstract: The swathboard of a windrower can be remotely adjusted from the tractor seat and on-the-go using an electro-mechanical actuator or other remotely operated actuating device. When the swathboard is adjusted to its fully raised position, the stream of crop materials issuing from the conditioner rolls bypasses the swathboard and engages the forming shields to be converged into a windrow having a width determined by the outlet formed between the rear ends of the shields. At the other extreme, when the swathboard is fully lowered, the stream impinges against the swathboard and drops to the ground in a wide swath without ever engaging the forming shields. In any one of a number of intermediate positions, the swathboard can be used by the operator to deflect the stream to engage wider or narrower portions of the forming shields, thus controlling the width of the windrow.

Patent CA-2242074-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for remote buffer allocation and management for message passing between network nodes
Inventor: TALLURI MADHUSUDHAN
IPC: G06F15/17
Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: In a distributed computer system, a sending node prompts a receiving node to allocate and export to the sending node one or more memory "segments". Each allocated segment is sufficiently large to hold multiple receive buffers whose size fall within a predefined range of receive buffer sizes. Once a segment has been allocated and exported, the sending node allocates receive buffers within the segment, using sequentially contiguous portions for successive receive buffers, without any interaction with the receiving node. Messages are transmitted to thereceiving node by remotely writing the data portion of each message to an allocated receive buffer and writing a control message with a pointer to the correspondingreceive buffer to a message queue in the receiving node. The receiving node processes messages within the portions of the allocated segments specified by each control message and does not keep track of the used and/or unused portions of each segment. Only the sending node keeps track of the unused portions of each allocated segment. As a result, the computational and communication resource overhead associated with allocating receive buffers is substantially reduced. Once the sending node has exhausted a segment, it sends either a segment release message or segment recycle message to the receiving node. Recycling the segment causes the receiving node to re-enable the sending node to use the segment once the receiving node has processed all the messages previously written to receive buffers in the segment.
