Patent CA-2287018-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CUMMINGS DONALD D
IPC: G01D5/244
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a time domain reflectometry (TDR) signal having a plurality of reflection pulses to generate a valid output result corresponding to a process variable in a vessel. The method includes the steps of establishing an initial boundary signal before the process variable is located in the vessel, storing the initial boundary signal, detecting the TDR signal, and determining a baseline signal by subtracting the initial boundary signal from the TDR signal. The method also includes the steps of establishing a signal pattern having a time range based on the width of reflection pulses in the baseline signal, comparing the baseline signal to the signal pattern until a reflection pulse in the baseline signal matches the signal pattern, determining a maximum value of the reflection pulse that matches the signal pattern, and calculating an output result based on the maximum value.

IPC: B65G27/32
Filed: 2000-04-06
Abstract: A vibratory conveyor capable of fluidizing particulate material is capable of separate control of direction, velocity and fluidization of material. The material is placed on a conveyor and vibrated by separate vertical and horizontal components of vibration. The frequency of both components is synchronized over an operating range. Various independent changes in amplitudes can affect the degree of fluidization and flow direction for any particular frequency. For any combination of amplitudes, changes in frequency affect fluidization and velocity. The present invention is adaptable for a range of applications that include drying wood wafers, hog fuel or other organic particulate, warming wood chips, scrubbing flue gas, filtering acting as a reactor and as a gas processor.

Title: Multicast scheduling for a network device
Inventor: JAGANNATH SHANTIGRAM V
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for scheduling multicast data in an input-queued network device. According to one aspect of the present invention, deterministic and bounded delay for high priority multicast cells is guaranteed by the multicast scheduler. The scheduler receives a transmit request associated with each of a plurality of input ports. The transmit request identifies output ports to which pending multicast cells are ready to be transmitted, if any. Then, for each of multiple classes of service, the scheduler performs a single scheduling iteration. The single scheduling iteration includes a grant phase, an accept phase, and an update phase. During the grant phase, the scheduler grants one or more of the input ports access to the fabric by issuing grants based upon the transmit requests and a priority indicator that identifies an input port that is given scheduling priority for the scheduling iteration. During the accept phase, on behalf of each of the input ports, the scheduler accepts all grants corresponding to the input port. Finally, during the update phase, the scheduler updates the priority indicator for use in a subsequent scheduling cycle.

Title: Structure of support leg member for seat slide device
Inventor: MURAISHI MASAMI
IPC: B60N2/07
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: A structure of support leg member having a pair of reinforcing pieces formed laterally thereof, which is used with a seat slide device provided in an automotive seat, wherein an inclinable portion is defined in the upper securing portion of the support leg member on which a guide rail of the seat slide device is securely amounted. The inclinable portion allows the guide rail to be inclined by a great load applied thereto in excess of a tolerable amount, thereby protecting the seat slide device against damage. The inclinable portion, for instance, may comprise an upward protuberant bead formed in the upper securing portion so that a pair of spacings are defined between the guide rail and a base portion of that upper securing portion such as to allow inclination of the guide towards the center of the automotive seat. Alternatively, the inclinable portion may be embodied by bending one or both of the two reinforcing pieces outwardly to render the support leg member so less rigid as to be buckled slantwise by the foregoing great load, thereby allowing inclination of the guide rail towards the center of the automotive seat.

Title: A fed crt having various control and focusing electrodes along with horizontal and vertical deflectors
Inventor: ROBINDER RONALD CHARLES
IPC: H01J29/46
Filed: 1999-01-29
Abstract: A plurality of field emission cathodes (601) generate an emission of electrons, wherein the emission of electrons is then controlled and fo-cused using various electrodes (602, 603, 604) to produce an electron beam. Horizontal and verti-cal deflection techniques (605, 606, respectively), similar to those used within a cathode ray tube, operate to scan the individual electron beams onto portions of a phosphor screen (401) in order to generate images. The use of the plurality of field emission cathodes provides for a flatter screen depth than possible with a typical cathode ray tube.
