Title: Base station device and transmission method
Inventor: IDE MINAKO
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 1999-09-13
Abstract: Signals to be subject to variable directional transmission are multiplied by weighting factors for individual antennas (101 to 103) at a multiplier (152) for outputting to synthesis circuits (155 to 157) respectively, while signals not subject to variable directional transmission are output to any one of the synthesis circuits (155 to 157) respectively. A signal input to a synthesis circuit (155) is synthesized, radio-modulated at a radio unit (104) and transmitted from an antenna (101). Similarly, a signal input to a synthesis circuit (156) is synthesized, radio-modulated at a radio unit (105) and transmitted from an antenna (102), and a signal input to a synthesis circuit (157) is synthesized, radio-modulated at a radio unit (106) and transmitted from an antenna (103). Thereby, it is possible to dispersedly transmit signals not subject to variable directional transmission from individual antennas to reduce a transmission power and the size of a device when variable directional transmission is performed on part of terminal devices only.
Patent CA-2311084-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALBFINGER EFRAT
IPC: C07H19/20
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases [NTPDases; EC 3.6.1.5] constitute a family of enzymes which are involved in the metabolism of extracellular nucleotides, catalysing the hydrolysis of the gamma and beta phosphate bonds of triphospho- and diphosphonucleosides (whereas 5'nucleotidases [EC 3.1.3.5] catalyse the hydrolysis of alpha phosphate bond of monophosphonucleosides). These extracellular nucleotides interact with endothelial, epithelial and smooth muscle cells, as well as blood cells and lymphoid cells, to influence the different physiological systems of vertebrates.      Since these ecto-nucleotidases alter the extracellular concentrations of nucleotides these enzymes modulate their physiological effects, including, for example, platelet aggregation, heart function, control of vascular tone and inflammation reactions, electrolyte secretion and gastrointestinal motility, neurotransmission both in central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as other effects in other physiological systems. This invention provides C8 substituted purine nucleotide analogues, such as ATP analogues, and further provides their use as inhibitors of NTPDases and thereby as tools to modulate the conversion of nucleotides into nucleoside derivatives, and thus modulate the levels of these compounds. Such modulation further provides for the modulation of the activity and function of many processes which are affected by these compounds.

Title: Improved reheaters for kilns, reheater-like structures, and associated methods
Inventor: NAGEL ROBERT T
IPC: F26B21/00
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: Elliptically shaped reheater conduits extend downward into a portion of a flow path that extends through a lower chamber interior space of a kiln chamber. Each of the reheater conduits has opposite ends, defines a length that extends between the opposite ends and is perpendicular to the portion of the flow path that extends through the lower chamber interior space, defines a first cross-dimension that is perpendicular to the length and parallel to the portion of the flow path, and defines a second cross-dimension that is perpendicular to both the length and the portion of the flow path. The second cross-dimension is less than the first cross-dimension. Each of the reheater conduits defines outlets positioned along the length of the reheater conduit. Each reheater conduit defines a pair of vertices between which its second cross-dimension is defined, and the outlets are proximate the vertices. The outlets of adjacent conduits are arranged so that jet-like flows from the outlets cooperate to produce whirling masses of air that travel downstream along the flow path to advantageously provide turbulence that interacts with a downstream stack of lumber. The jet-like flows from the outlets of the reheater conduits reach adjacent reheater conduits and advantageously interact with the boundary layers that extend around the adjacent reheater conduits.      Movable dampers are respectively proximate the upper ends of the reheater conduits and are capable of being moved to adjust the amount of heated air supplied to the reheater conduits. Each reheater conduit advantageously includes an internal converging/diverging section proximate its upper end.

Title: Plastic bag dispenser
Inventor: SIMHAEE EBRAHIM
IPC: B65H35/10
Filed: 1999-09-01
Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed for retaining and dispensing plastic bags which are wound on a core (52). The dispenser is made of heavy metal wire (10) configured to provide curved tracks in which a core can ride. The dispenser includes a separating tongue (22) which enables a customer to dispense the bags one by one by pulling on the free end of the outermost bag. In order to prevent freewheeling, a braking surface (28a) is provided which engages the roll (50) and retards rotation. A  supplemental braking force is provided by spring elements (30, 32) mounted within the tracks (14, 15) which apply a frictional force to the ends of core (52). The spring elements (30, 32) are oriented such that the force applied to the core (52) by the springs (30, 32) rotates when the bags are dispensed, causes the roll (50) to tend to move downwardly into engagement with the braking surface (28a). The spring elements (30, 32) are attached to the dispenser at a point below the braking surface (28a). As a result, the braking force applied by the springs (30, 32) increases as the size of the roll (50) decreases.

Title: Method and apparatus for calibrating a display using an array of cameras
Inventor: JOHNSON MICHAEL J
IPC: H04N17/04
Filed: 1999-09-23
Abstract: The present invention overcomes many of the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a display that can be calibrated and re-calibrated with a minimal amount of manual intervention. To accomplish this, the present invention provides one or more cameras (35, 40) to capture an image that is projected on a display screen (36). In one embodiment, the one or more cameras are placed on the same side of the screen as the projectors. In another embodiment, an array of cameras is provided on either or both sides of the screen for capturing a number of adjacent and/or overlapping capture images of the screen. In either of these embodiments, the resulting capture images are processed to identify any non-desirable characteristics including any visible artifacts such as seams, bands, rings, etc.. Once the non-desirable characteristics are identified, an appropriate transformation function is determined. The transformation function is used to pre-warp the input video signal to the display such that the non-desirable characteristics are reduced or eliminated from the display. The transformation function preferably compensates for spatial non-uniformity, color non-uniformity, luminance non-uniformity, and/or other visible artifacts.
