Title: Trick play stream derivation for pre-recorded digital video recording
Inventor: MCLAREN DAVID LIONEL
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 1995-09-29
Abstract: A consumer digital video cassette recorder (210) may record an advanced television signal (09) having an MPEG-like signal format. The predictive nature of the MPEG-like signal format requires that additional I frame data (51, 61, 71) be generated and recorded together with a normal play speed data stream (10) to facilitate non-standard speed, or trick play reproduction. Additional I frame data streams (51, 61, 71) are generated specifically for each replay speed and are written within recorded tracks to facilitate reproduction at the predetermined speeds. Various inventive methods for the derivation of full resolution and reduced resolution trick play data streams are disclosed. Inventive trick play data stream generation is disclosed for real time recording by consumer apparatus and non-real time normal and trick play data stream generation for use with pre-recorded digital media.

Patent CA-2210869-A1 (CA)
Title: Water stop compositions and methods of preparing same
Inventor: HAMAN ROBERT J
IPC: C08K3/34
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: Water stop compositions and methods of preparing same are disclosed. The compositions exhibit a controlled swelling or volumetric expansion upon immersion in water. The compositions swell about 5-8 % after 1 day's immersion and about 35-65 % after 28 day's immersion. A blend of fast acting sodium bentonite clay and a slower acting calcium bentonite clay contribute to this desirable controlled expansion along with a specific combination of thermoplastic elastomer, cross-linked butyl rubber components and polyisobutylene. Another important factor in providing the desired expansion is a thorough mixing step to ensure product homogeneity whereby mix components are blended in a Sigma mixer for an excess period of time after all components have been added to the mixer.
