Patent CA-2366369-A1 (CA)
Title: Digital exciter/phasor/transmitter for directional antenna system
Inventor: HIEB MARIO
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 2001-01-08
Abstract: A transmission system delays a carrier wave (20) and program audio (22) in the digital domain. The carrier wave and the program audio are converted to analog and the carrier wave is modulated by the program audio. The system includes a master oscillator (308) that generates a digital carrier wave. The digital carrier wave is transmitted to a delay stage (310) that delays the digital carrier wave by a certain delay value. The system further receives an analog or digital signal that is representative of programming. If an analog signal is received, the signal is transmitted to an analog-to-digital converter (302) where it is converted to digital audio. The digital audio is then transmitted to a delay stage (316) that delays the digital audio by the same delay value. The digital carrier wave and the digital audio are converted to an analog carrier wave and analog audio respectively. A modulator (322) modulates the analog corner wave by the analog audio and sends the amplitude modulated corner wave to a power amplifier (324). After power amplification, amplitude modulated corner wave is broadcast by a conventional antenna (330). The delay of the carrier wave and the program audio are controlled by a processor (332). The processor may also control the output power of respective power amplifiers (324).

Title: Produce bag with improved strength and loading features
Inventor: FOX L KEITH
IPC: B65D33/01
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: A produce bag has a rear wall (10) of a synthetic resin mesh material and a front wall (12) of synthetic resin film. A reinforcing strip (32) of synthetic resin film is attached along an upper portion of the mesh wall and includes spaced holes (30) for wicket pin attachment. The film wall has a portion (18) which extends below the mesh wall, and portion (18) has a lower fold (L) which forms the bag bottom. It is also has an upwardly folded extension which encloses a lower portion of the mesh wall. The bottom portion of the bag is thus formed of synthetic resin film which yields to the impact of articles entering the bag because no seam is present between the side walls of the bag in the bottom area of the bag. Top corner juncture portions of the bag are formed where the reinforcing strip, mesh wall and resin wall overlap.

Title: Throttle modulation device for combustion engine
Inventor: CLEMENCE MARK
IPC: F02D11/10
Filed: 2002-04-22
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to combustion engines, and more specifically, to an apparatus for controlling the power of combustion engines which have electrically-modulated throttle systems (also known as drive-by-wire throttle systems).  There are many applications in which it is desirable to modify the throttle control system of vehicles, for example, in limiting the power production of trucks operating in under ground mines. It is prohibitively expensive for vehicle manufacturers to supply such modified vehicles, so a system must be provided and installed as an after market product. The invention provides a simple and inexpensive solution in the form of a voltage modifying device which can be installed inline, between the accelerator pedal sensor and the engine control unit. The voltage modifying device can be designed to limit the power of the engine, or alter the performance profile in a desired manner.

Patent CA-2387190-A1 (CA)
Title: Mortiser
Inventor: HINCH ANTHONY G
IPC: B27F5/10
Filed: 2002-05-22
Abstract: A mortiser has a housing mounted on a support post and there is a collet on the housing for holding a mortise chisel. A chisel drive coupling is on the housing. A chisel drive shaft extends through the housing and connects with the chisel drive coupling.  A reciprocal engagement mechanism is capable of selectively engaging the chisel drive coupling. An operating lever may thus be quickly indexed so that the mortise chisel may be fully lowered without the user pulling the operating lever fully toward him/her and downward. The mortiser also has a finely adjustable ram fence and a depth stop. The collet has a notched or elliptical bore to prevent jamming of the chisel shank in the collet.
