Patent CA-2240778-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RONSTR M MIKAEL
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 1996-12-19
Abstract: In processing systems (120, 220), a signal processor (124, 224) schedules jobs to be executed by one or more instruction processor(s) (122, 222) and transmits a job-associated signal to the instruction processor when the instruction processor is to execute a job. A current list (150) is maintained in memory by the instruction processor (122). When a current job executed by the instruction processor causes the instruction processor to generate a buffered signal associated with a new job to be executed, the instruction processor selectively causes the buffered signal associated with the new job to be stored in the current list. Selective storage of the buffered signal in the current list is in accordance with a priority level of the current job. The new job is immediately executed upon termination of the current job if an instruction in the current job which generated the buffered signal is in a predefined order within the current job. When the instruction processor finishes execution of a job associated with a buffered signal, the instruction processor selectively: (1) sends an EXIT signal to the signal processor ¢if the job associated with the buffered signal has a predefined priority level or if the current list is empty!; (2) sends all remaining jobs in the current list to the signal processor ¢if the signal processor has issued an interrupt to the instruction processor!; or (3) fetches and executes a further job from the current list.

Patent CA-2244463-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAUG WERNER
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: In a printing group which is intended for value marks printing (e.g. franking), a checking device is inserted in order to prevent misuse, i.e. not credited stamps, by manipulation of the current feed, or manual operation. This checking device counts every single printing operation, thanks to its on current supply. The meter reading of the ch ecking device can be compared with the reading of the usual printing group meter. In case of a discrepancy between the two readings, the pri nting group jams or an alarm goes off, via the control electronics of the printing group, e.g. in the form of a security card. A great advantage of this checking device is its complete storing in the checking device itself of the printing operations and all manipulations or a ttempts at manipulation.

Title: Method and device for evisceration of carcasses
Inventor: NIELSEN JENS ULRICH
IPC: A22B5/00
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the evisceration of carcasses conveyed on a slaughter line suspended in gambrels or hooks, where the abdomen and breast have been cut open, the hams divided and the fat end loosened, and wherein the carcass intestines are loosened, removed and placed on a gut pan or conveyor, the diaphragm is loosened and the plucks are removed and placed on a plucks conveyor. In loosening of the intestines, the connections of the intestines with the spinal column are broken, so that the intestines are made to hang out of the abdominal cavity. The diaphragm and leaf fat are loosened mechanically while the intestines are hanging out of the carcass and are connected to the plucks. The latter loosening is effected by a pressing device (5) and a hoop device (6) which can be moved independent of each other in the lengthways direction of the carcass. By means of the method, the intestines and plucks can be removed as a set of organs from the carcass and are subsequently separated, providing hygienic advantages. Alternatively separa- tion may be carned out after the connection between the intestines and the plucks has been pulled out of the carcass and before the connection of the plucks with, for instance, the head, has been broken. The diaphragm and leaf fat are removed from the carcass along with the organs.

Abstract: Procédé et appareil permettant de mesurer de manière relativement précise la distance d'une balle de golf à un drapeau, à un obstacle ou autre sur un trou d'un parcours de golf afin d'assister un joueur lorsqu'il joue un trou. Le terrain de golf a été mesuré si bien que l'on connaît les distances relatives entre les coordonnées de position fixes des divers éléments de chaque trou du terrain tels que les départs, l'emplacement des drapeaux, les obstacles d'eau, les bunkers, le rough et analogues. Un système de navigation à l'estime (DRN) installé sur une voiturette (15) est placé près d'un départ d'un trou du terrain, en tant qu'origine des coordonnées de position du système DRN, et lorsqu'un coup a été joué depuis le départ, la voiturette (15) est conduite vers un point adjacent à la nouvelle position de la balle. Une fois la voiturette (15) replacée, les coordonnées de la nouvelle position de la balle par rapport à l'origine sont déterminées à l'aide du système DRN. Les nouvelles coordonnées de position sont utilisées en conjonction avec la distance connue entre le départ depuis lequel le coup a été joué et le drapeau, pour calculer la distance depuis les nouvelles coordonnées de position au drapeau. A un certain moment pendant le jeu, le système DRN est étalonné pour réétablir la précision des mesures par suppression de l'accumulation d'erreurs provenant de la détermination et des calculs. La voiturette (15) peut être adaptée pour communiquer avec un système de navigation par satellite tel que le système mondial de localisation (GPS) (14) et pour être étalonnée à l'aide d'informations de GPS différentielles, par traitement au filtre Kalman. Le système DRN porté par la voiturette possède au moins un détecteur de roue avant et un compas fixe ou flottant, permettant de mesurer la vitesse de la roue et le cap magnétique de la voiturette, pour calculer la position de ladite voiturette sur le terrain.

Title: Device for contactless transmission of electric energy
Inventor: EBERL BERNHARD
IPC: H02J5/00
Filed: 1998-08-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for contactless transmission of energy from a primary current lead traversed by alternating current (2) to a plurality of secondary, resonant load circuits (100, 200), each of which has at least one coil (5) drawing energy from the electromagnetic field of the current lead (2). The inventive device is used, for example, in industrial assemblage systems or in private passenger vehicles. Known systems can be problematic in the event of simultaneous use by several consumers. A consumer which is drawing little energy from tire primary circuit impedes current How through the primary circuit, and thus tire supply for other consumers. Known solutions require decoupling devices on each user. The invention therefore seeks to supply several users with energy simply and independently of one another, by means of act energy transmission device. To this end, a pilot wire (8) runs parallel to the current lead (2) to which it is connected via several junctions (10, 11). In addition, a rheostat (45) is fitted in at least one section of the pilot line (8), between two connecting points (10, 11), and is controlled by a monitoring device (43).

Inventor: MAURITZ FORREST
IPC: F15B15/14
Filed: 1999-05-05
Abstract: A bypass valve is disclosed which relieves pressure on the end cap and rod guide of a cylinder as the piston approaches them. The bypass valve has a cylindrical body with end caps on each end, the end caps serving as stop members. The bypass valve is provided with longitudinal grooves along the cylinder body, along which working fluid can pass through a bore in the piston in which the bypass valve is inserted. Inner smaller diameter counterbores and outer larger diameter counterbores are provided coaxially with the bore on the opposing faces of the piston. The end caps of the bypass valve are received in the counterbores when the piston is urged along the cylinder. When the piston approaches either the rod guide or the end cap, the bypass valve is urged away from its seated position when an end cap of the bypass valve touches the approached rod guide or end cap of the cylinder.
