Title: Apparatus for mixing calcined gypsum and its method of operation
Inventor: JOHNSON STEVEN BURDETT
IPC: B28C7/12
Filed: 1999-01-08
Abstract: This invention provides a method and apparatus for mixing calcined gypsum. The invention comprises a mixer which employs high pressure water to eliminate or substantially reduce the formation of lumps of gypsum inside the mixer which cause paper breaks when the calcined gypsum slurry containing the lumps is used to form the gypsum core in a gypsum wallboard product. High pressure water jets direct a spray of high pressure water at the surfaces within the mixer where the lumps of gypsum are formed. The method of this invention utilizes the high pressure water as part of the metered water that is continuously fed to the mixer, with the balance of the water being fed through low pressure nozzles.
Patent CA-2262518-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUNE JOHAN
IPC: H04W88/12
Filed: 1997-09-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a charging method in a telecommunications system (TS) when information is being transmitted in a generic radio based access network (GRAN) to which two or more service networks (SN1, SN2, SN3) with different specified standards are connected. The access network comprises radio control units (RNC1-RNC5), each of which constitutes a connection point between the access network (GRAN) and at least one of the service networks (SN1-SN3). Charging parameters (DP10-DP12, DP20, DP30-DP33) representing charging agreements for the service networks' (SN1-SN3) utilization of the access network (GRAN) are stored in the radio control units. The method also comprises the following additional steps: a transmission request (B0) for information transmission is sent from the telecommunications station (TA) to the home network (SN1); a charging agreement for the requested information transmission is selected in the home network (SN1); transmission of a connection request (B1a) for the establishment of a connection to the mobile unit (TE) from the home network (SN1) to a first radio control unit (RNC1) constituting a connection point between the access network (GRAN) and the home network (SN1); transmission of a charging agreement pointer (P1a) from the home network (SN1) to the first radio transmission unit (RNC1). The pointer (P1a) points out charging parameters (DP11) representing the selected charging agreement.

Title: Modulateur multiporteuses large bande et procede de programmation correspondant
Inventor: DARTOIS LUC
IPC: H04L27/20
Filed: 1999-03-22
Abstract: On prévoit de remplacer tous les traitements à l'intérieur d'un modulateur par une table précalculée qui délivre, par une simple lecture, un signal modulé en fonction d'un signal modulant. La fréquence de porteuse du modulateur est même programmable. On montre qu'on réduit la taille de la table précalculée en réalisant un automate. Avec l'automate, l'adresse de lecture de la table, à un moment donné, dépend de valeurs précédentes du signal modulant. Par une lecture de la table en temps partagé, on peut même, avec un seul modulateur, effectuer le travail de plusieurs modulateurs. On réalise alors facilement un modulateur multiporteuses.

Title: Fragmented polymeric hydrogels for adhesion prevention and their preparation
Inventor: REICH CARY J
IPC: A61L31/16
Filed: 1997-08-14
Abstract: Molecular cross-linked gels comprise a variety of biologic and non-biologic polymers, such as proteins, polysaccharides, and synthetic polymers. Such molecular gels may be applied to target sites in a patient's body by extruding the gel through an orifice at the target site. Alternatively, the gels may be mechanically disrupted and used in implantable articles, such as breast implants. When used in vivo, the compositions are useful for inhibiting postsurgical spinal and other tissue adhesions, for filling tissue divots, tissue tracts, body cavities, surgical defects, and the like.
Patent CA-2265006-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARNES RICHARD L
IPC: E05D15/48
Filed: 1999-03-22
Abstract: With a device used to open an overhead garage door electrically, the device typically consists of an electric motor, some control circuitry, and a "drive gear and chain" or "screw and worm drive" mechanism. These mechanisms convert the rotational motion of the motor's shaft into a linear motion to pull open the garage door. In this invention, modifications to the linkage which connect the pulling mechanism ( chain or screw based ) to the garage door allow the linkage to be oriented in any position in a 360 degree plane perpendicular to the direction of the pulling force. The opener with the modified linkage may then be used to open doors mounted vertically as well as horizontally, thereby enhancing the openers' utility.
