Title: Small rf transmitter with no external antenna
Inventor: ALTSTATT JOHN E
IPC: H04B1/08
Filed: 1997-04-04
Abstract: A portable RF transmitter (16) having an audio plug (18) which mates with the earphone or output jack of an audio source (10) and having no external antenna. The portable RF transmitter modulates audio signals from the audio source onto an FM carrier and transmits them to an FM receiver mounted on a headset. The RF transmitter uses its own ground circuit and the ground circuit of the audio source as two elements of a short dipole. The two ground circuits are electrically isolated at RF by an RF choke but connected at audio frequencies by the low impedance of the choke at audio. The choke's leakage inductance also reduces the capacitive resistance of the dipole antenna for better power dissipation.

Patent CA-2256600-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCULTHORPE ROBERT ELIAS
IPC: E04B2/86
Filed: 1998-12-17
Abstract: A system and method is shown for securing an insulated concrete wall form to an existing support/bracing structure such as a strongback for keeping the form straight and plumb during construction. The attachment system uses a flexible member, such as a tensioning plastic strap, to hold the strongback against insulated panels of the insulated concrete wall form. Openings are cut through the insulated panels to provide a pathway for the strap. A  horizontal anchoring bar is positioned in the insulated concrete wall form to secure the strap. The strap is threaded through one of the openings, wrapped around the anchoring bar and then threaded out through the other opening. The strap is wrapped around a strongback and the ends of the strap are secured using a crimp connector. A wedge may also be inserted between the strongback and the strap and pressed downwardly to adjust the tension of the strap and align the insulated concrete wall form against the strongback.

Title: Digital signal converting method and device, transformation matrix generating method and device, and supply medium
Inventor: ICHIOKA HIDETOSHI
IPC: H04N19/91
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: An inverse orthogonal transformation matrix (Ts(k)-1) which expresses the inverse transformation of an orthogonal transformation to which are subjected input digital signals (15) in an orthogonally transformed region, is generated by an input orthogonal transformation matrix generating unit (11). An orthogonal transformation matrix (Td(k)) which expresses the inverse processing of an inverse orthogonal transformation which is subjected to output digital signals (16) as a decoded processing in an orthogonally transformed region is generated by an output orthogonal transformation matrix generating unit (12). A transformation matrix generating unit (13) generates a transformation matrix (D) based on the inverse orthogonal transformation matrix (Ts(k)-1) and the orthogonal transformation matrix (Td(k)). The transformation matrix (D) is applied to the input digital signals (15) by a signal conversion unit (14) to generate the output digital signals (16) in the orthogonally transformed region. Thus, by applying conversion processes such as a resolution conversion in the orthogonally transformed region to the input digital signals in the orthogonally transformed region, the amount of calculation can be reduced, calculation errors can be reduced and a high speed and high quality conversion can be realized.

Title: Grip handle for shovel type implement
Inventor: VOGLER MICHAEL R
IPC: B25G1/10
Filed: 1999-07-28
Abstract: A D-shaped grip handle for use with a hand manipulated implement includes a generally U-shaped portion having an integral mounting sleeve for mounting the grip handle on the end of a shaft and having a hand grip bar integrally formed with the U-shaped portion so as to be disposed substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the mounting sleeve. The grip bar has a layer of soft rubber material, such as thermoplastic rubber, formed circumferentially thereon so as to create a pattern of spaced raised pads along approximately one-half of the circumference of the soft rubber layer, with the remaining half of said circumference defining a continuous smooth grip surface having an undulating contour to receive the fingers of the user's hand. The raised pads on the soft grip layer provide improved traction with the palm of the user's hand while the smooth opposite surface of the soft grip layer spreads the lifting force evenly onto the palm of the user's hand to thereby increase the comfort during use and reduce the effort required to manipulate an implement with which the grip handle is used.
