Title: Facsimile via e-mail system and method
Inventor: CHIN JIMMY
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 1996-10-30
Abstract: A system and method for sending facsimile transmissions via e-mail. The system and method includes at least two voicemail/faxmail telephony service provider systems in different countries. Each telephony service provider system is interfaced to the Internet to send and receive e-mail and each has its own e-mail address, a database of country codes and/or local area codes for countries being serviced by the systems, and is accessible by many subscribers who can call into his or her own voicemail/faxmail number. The subscriber calls up the subscriber's service provider system on the subscriber's faxmail box and then enters a destination fax number or plurality of fax numbers. The sending service provider system will determine the closest recipient voicemail/faxmail telephony service provider system to the intended recipient of the facsimile transmission by. The fasimile transmission can then be sent by the subscriber's fasimile machine or computer to the transmitting service provider system which will then attach the facsimile transmission to an e-mail. The e-mail and its attached facsimile are sent via the Internet to the closest service provider system to the recipient(s) of the facsimile transmission, along with the destination information, and the recipient service provider system(s) will receive the e-mail and then reconstruct the attached facsimile into a regular facsimile transmission, and transmit the reconstructed facsimile via conventional means to the recipient(s).
Patent CA-2189820-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ADACHI FUMIYUKI
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1996-11-07
Abstract: A transmitter receiver implementing both frequency division duplex and time division duplex in one device in a CDMA mobile communication system. In the FDD mode, data in an interleave memory in an interleaver is read at a predetermined read rate VR = VN, where VN is a normal rate. In the TDD mode, a transmitting carrier frequency is set identical to a receiving carrier frequency, and the read rate VR of the interleave memory and the write rate VW of the deinterleave memory are set at VR = VW > 2VN. The transfer rate VT from column to column of the memories are set identical in the FDD mode and the TDD mode. This makes it possible to create a vacant duration while transferring from column to column, and to perform reception or transmission during the vacant duration. The remaining operation of the TDD mode is the same as the operation of the FDD mode.

Title: Bipod load support
Inventor: NOBLE JACK
IPC: B64C9/00
Filed: 1996-12-03
Abstract: A first upright leg has an upper end pivoted to the body of an aircraft by a first bracket secured to the aircraft skin, alongside a second leg pivoted to the aircraft by a second bracket. The bottom ends of the first and second legs are pivoted to a load bearing member which extends ;generally upward between them. The load bearing member has a load connection pint for pivotal attachment of the aft end of an aircraft trailing edge flap track thereto. Upward force applied at the load connection point by the aft end of the track biases the first leg, second leg and load bearing member to a stable central equilibrium position from which the aft end of the track can move laterally a few inches in either direction. Such force is transmitted primarily through one of the legs, rather than through both legs, and is applied to the body of the aircraft primarily as shear rather than as a punch load.

Title: Noise detection and suppression system for wellbore telemetry
Inventor: JEFFRYES BENJAMIN PETER
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1997-04-02
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for identifying and removing noise from borehole telemetry signals. A spectrum of the signal and of an approximated noise-free spectrum of the signals are generated and compared so as to identify frequencies at which noise occurs. The approximated spectrum is preferably generated by an averaging or integrating process which essentially results in a smoothened variant of the signal spectrum. The comparison includes dividing the signal spectrum by the approximated spectrum, and setting a threshold in the resulting dimensionless peak spectrum. The remaining parts of the peak spectrum are identified as noise. The dimensionless spectrum is found to have major advantages when having to identify noise frequencies.

Title: Forced air helmet heater and defroster system for sport and utility vehicles
Inventor: LARSON DAVID J
IPC: A42B3/28
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: The forced air helmet heater and defroster system for sport and utility vehicles begins with a small motor driven blower. This blower is mounted or fastened to the vehicle and adapted to draw in cold, fresh air from the exterior of the vehicle and force it through a heat source. The heat source warms or tempersthis cold fresh air. Then, depending on system configuration, the air exiting the heat source is either forced to an insulated helmet delivery conduit equipped with a break-away connection on the inlet end and a diffuser on the exit end, or it can first be routed to an optional temperature control junction and then to the insulated helmet delivery conduit. The vehicle rider may then place the delivery conduit'sexit diffuser between the interior side of the helmet and their cheek or chin whereby the expelling warm air flushes the helmet's interior thus warming the rider's face and breathing air as well as keeping the rider's face shield and eyeglasses defrosted and fog free.
Patent CA-2211100-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAUFFER RANDALL B
IPC: A61K49/08
Filed: 1996-01-16
Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic imaging contrast agents which exhibit improved blood retention. The novel compounds comprise: a) an image-enhancing (or signal-generating) moiety (IEM); b) a plasma protein binding moiety (PPBM); and c) a blood half-life extending moiety (BHEM). This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to methods of using the compounds and compositions for blood half-life extension and contrast enhancement of diagnostic imaging. These contrast agents exhibit reduced rates of both renal and hepatocellular uptake and no apparent uptake by the RE system. The agents may be targeted to the blood pool or any other biological component. Since the agent is lost less rapidly from the bloodstream, lower doses can be used at a higher margin of safety. The approach is general to both large and small molecules.
