Patent CA-2181597-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JENKINS LEW
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1996-07-18
Abstract: A method and system for selectively interconnecting a plurality of computers (112,114) over an open public network (120,102,122), such as the INTERNET, provides a private secure computer exchange of EDI interchange communications between a sender computer (112) and a recipient computer (114), each of which has an associated public key and an associated private key, such as in an RSA type cryptographic communication system (100).          The associated EDI acknowledgement message, such as the AUTACK, is used to provide secure authentication and non-repudiation of both origin and receipt of the secure private EDI interchange communications transmitted over the open public network (120,102,122) with the AUTACK transmitted from the sender computer (112) being digitally signed with the sender's private key, and with the reply AUTACK transmitted from the recipient computer (114) being digitally signed with the recipient's private key. The respective digitally signed AUTACKs are decrypted after receipt by using the public key associated with the private key used to provide the digital signature. The transmitted AUTACK from the sender computer (112) includes an MD5 for the entire EDI interchange as well as an MD5 of the AUTACK, with the AUTACK, thus, being used to provide the digital signature. The reply AUTACK from the recipient computer (114) includes an MD5 of the reply AUTACK. The ability to conduct business over the network (120,102,122) is controlled by private trading partner agreement communications which provide key certification.

Patent CA-2193273-A1 (CA)
Title: Downlight and downlight wall wash reflectors
Inventor: LEADFORD KEVIN F
IPC: F21V7/00
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: Downlight and downlight wall wash reflectors particularly useful with compact fluorescent lamps and other large-area light sources, the reflector optics of the invention maximize the efficiency of the luminaire while providing brightness control and avoidance of high angle glare or "flash". Downlight reflectors according to the invention provide a truly  uniform illuminance distribution across the illuminated area when applied in a rectangular grid with maximum use of available light by providing an upper amplifying reflector section which reflects normally underutilized light to a lower distribution reflector section which radiates a large percentage of generated light effectively from the bottom of the light source, thus reducing the apparent size of the light source and increasing optical control.  The lower reflector section reflects light only into zones where the light is needed and avoids high angle zones, most of the light being reflected into zones from 35° to 45° from vertical or nadir, thereby widening the distribution and also producing high efficiency and aesthetically pleasing performance.  Wall wash reflectors according to the invention are provided with a specular lower zone formed by a specular finish at lower portions of the wall washing reflectors to yield high light levels on a vertical wall near the ceiling line while avoiding high angle glare or "flash" in the opposite direction.

Title: Method of multi-tone printing
Inventor: PATON ANTHONY DAVID
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 1995-10-02
Abstract: A method of multi-tone printing employs a drop-on-demand printing apparatus (100) for depositing ink droplets from an array of channels (104) on printing element areas of a substrate (111) which is movable relatively to said apparatus. The channels' length and nozzle location and dimensions afford each channel with a high longitudinal resonant frequency and electrically actuable means (110, 112, 114, 116, 118) supply energy pulses to a selected band of channels at or near the resonant frequency of the channels to deposit from each selected channel in the corresponding printing element area of the substrate a number of drops equal to the number of pulses applied thereto, the number of pulses applied being dependent on the tone of printing required.  Droplet ejection from even numbered channels is in anti-phase at the resonant frequency with droplet ejection from odd numbered channels.

IPC: B60C23/04
Filed: 1997-05-08
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for allocating the wheel positions to air pressure control devices (6a to 6d) in an air pressure control system and is directed to an air pressure control system for carrying out the method.  First measuring devices are provided which are permanently allocated to air pressure control devices 6a to 6d, and a second set of measuring devices 4a to 4d is provided which are permanently assigned to the wheel positions of the motor vehicle.

In addition, the air pressure control devices each transmit an individual identifier to the central unit 10.  The central unit 10 then allocates each air pressure control device to a wheel position at which the measurement value from a first measuring device 16a to 16d is sufficiently close to that measured by a second measuring device 4a to 4d.
Patent CA-2207531-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAGHUNATHAN NARAYAN
IPC: B65D81/133
Filed: 1997-06-12
Abstract: A nestable crate for bottles is injection molded, of single wall construction having an integral floor and peripheral wall structure, the open lattice structure of the floor having the undersurface thereof contoured to accept a range of sizes of bottle top of bottles accommodated within an underlying such crate.  The crate walls incorporate curved guide vanes that serve to center and steady the bottles. In a crate embodiment having a lengthwise central column of upstanding separation pillars the individual bottle compartments are bounded by laterally extending partitions which are rendered flexible by a contoured upper edge, the generally U-shaped form of which serves to guide and engage the sidewall of a bottle as it is inserted, so as to effectively grip the inserted bottle in stabilizing and centering relation, complementary with the castellated form of the crate side walls.  This flexible wall also accommodates to different size bottles.  The separation pillars each comprises four mutually oriented upstanding segments that form a segmented pillar.  The mutual spacing of the pillar segments is adequate to permit penetration of a portion of the peripheral sidewall of an overlying crate, when stacked, or otherwise arranged in laterally displaced, overlapping relation, as in the case of stacked "eight-bottle" crates, having a row of side-by-side laterally oriented crates overlying and unifying two underlying adjoining rows of crates arranged in end-to-end relation.
Patent CA-2208537-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ENGLISH KAREN LYNN
IPC: B32B37/00
Filed: 1995-12-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a film/nonwoven laminate which incorporates a low gauge machine direction oriented film layer laminated to a nonwoven support layer. The individual layers are designed such that the film layer in the laminated state has an elongation at break value in the cross machine direction that is greater than the elongation at peak load value for the nonwoven layer in the same direction. Consequently, if the laminate is subjected to severe stretching forces in the cross machine direction, the nonwoven layer will fail before the film layer. In addition, the laminate has a peak load value of at least 300 grams. As a result, the laminate is particularly useful as, for example, an outercover material for personal care absorbent articles.

Title: Quantification de signaux vocaux a l'aide de modeles auditifs humains dans des systemes de codage predictif
Inventor: CHEN JUIN-HWEY
IPC: G10L19/002
Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de compression de la parole dénommé "Codage Prédictif par Transformée" ou TPC (pour "Transform Predictive Coding") qui permet de coder la parole de la bande des 7 Khz (échantillonnée à 16 Khz) en atteignant un débit binaire de 16 ou 32 k-octets/s, à raison de 1 à 2 bits par échantillon. Pour annuler les redondances, le système utilise un dispositif prédictif à court terme et à long terme. Le résiduel de prédiction subit une transformation et un codage dans le domaine de fréquences représenté dans la figure, et ce, au niveau du processeur de transformée (110) après prise en compte des données du domaine temporel de l'additionneur (60) et l'entrée des paramètres depuis le processeur de réponse d'amplitude à filtre de mise en forme (100), ce qui corrige le spectre en vue de la perception auditive. Le vocodeur TPC n'utilise qu'une quantification en boucle ouverte comme le démontre la présence d'un extracteur/interpolateur de hauteur de son (70), ce qui fait que le vocodeur TPC n'est que faiblement complexe. La parole est de qualité transparente à 32 k-octets/s, de très bonne qualité à 24 k-octets/s, et acceptable à 16 k-octets/s.
