Patent CA-2457759-C (CA)
Inventor: BEAVERSON NEIL
IPC: C08K5/09
Filed: 2002-09-16
Granted: 2011-08-16
Abstract: It has now been found that the incorporation of nanosized metal particles into cyclodextrin-containing material leads to a "reactive" barrier material having excellent barrier properties. More specifically, it has been found that the presence of nanosized metal or metal alloy particles in a barrier material, preferably a thermoplastic material, wherein said material comprises cyclodextrin derivatives, is advantageous in achieving excellent barrier properties. The barrier material of the present invention provides improved barrier resistance to a variety of permeants and/or impurities. The diffusion of volatile substances through the barrier material is prevented by adding compatible derivatized cyclodextrin and nanosized metal particles to the material used. Accordingly, the inventive material also is suitable for many applications including food-contact packaging, flexible packaging to dispose of adult and baby diapers, incontinent products, hospital and household waste and also for packaging pharmaceutical products, medical devices and dental materials.

Title: Lossless variable-bit signature compression
Inventor: WILLIAMS BARON D
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2002-10-17
Granted: 2010-09-28
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for compressing data points. The invention compresses the representation of a sequence of points in a space by, for example, dividing the sequence of points into segments of successive points and then compressing each of the segments irrespective of the compression applied to the other segments. The dividing may include dividing the points sequence into segments of S successive points. The value of S may be the value of S generating the smallest of the multiple compressions. The compression may include compressing each of the segments of S successive, i-bit points into segments of j-bit points, where j <= i, j may vary from segment to segment and, for any given segment, j is the minimum number of bits necessary to represent the data in that given segment.

Abstract: A method of implementing OFDMA systems [100] systems with enhanced preamble properties is presented. The transmit power is boosted during a preamble transmission, by utilizing preambles with a low Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) property, as opposed to higher PAPR during the data portion of the transmission. Further, sets of preambles satisfying good PAPR properties in OFDMA systems [100] are presented. The preambles satisfy a low PAPR property for numerous subsets of the usable subcarrier set. A method for generating a hierarchical set of preamble for OFDMA communication systems [100] is described. The method hinges on the good PAPR properties of Golay's complementary sequences [110], and on hierarchical construction methods of larger complementary sequences [110] out of smaller ones.

Abstract: A nailer for driving a fastener into a workpiece and comprising a main body defining a fastener ejection channel. A plunger is movably carried by the main body and defines a first end for receiving forceful mallet blows and a second end for engaging the fastener, the plunger also comprising a series of teeth and grooves and defining a longitudinal cavity extending between the first and second ends, the plunger being movable relative to the main body between a first limit position in which the plunger second end clears the fastener ejection channel, and a second limit position in which the plunger second end engages the fastener ejection channel. A stem member is carried by the nailer main body and penetrates the plunger longitudinal cavity, the stem member carrying a spring-loaded pawl capable of unidirectional releasable interlocking engagement with the teeth and grooves of the plunger. A plunger biasing member continuously biases the plunger towards the first limit position. Upon a forceful blow being applied to the plunger first end, the plunger will be forced from its first towards its second limit positions and if the plunger is forced to an intermediate position between its first and second limit positions, the pawl will engage in unidirectional releasable interlocking fashion in the teeth sand grooves of the plunger to retain the plunger in this intermediate position against the bias of the plunger biasing member whereby the plunger may be gradually moved with several forceful blows from the first to the second limit position without moving back towards its first limit position until it reaches the second limit position.
