Patent CA-2361186-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANTHA RAMESH
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2001-11-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for mitigating fading and/or poor reception at a receiver. The receiver includes an antenna diversity mechanism which can be operated in a variety of antenna configurations each of which can provide  different reception characteristics. The receiver evaluates the reception quality of the radio signal with the antenna in a first configuration and with the antenna in at least a second configuration and selects the antenna configuration that has the best evaluated reception for use until a subsequent iteration, when the process is repeated. The antenna configurations can correspond to configurations wherein reception is favored in different directions or to configurations wherein different antennas are selected, each antenna being spaced from each other antenna. Th e method can also improve the reception of a signal transmitted by selecting an antenna configuration for transmissions which provides improved reception quality at the destination receiver.

Patent CA-2380237-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREEN BAN D
IPC: C09K8/20
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: The present invention discloses method and composition of improved additives  for use in control of lost circulation, fluid loss and/or seepage loss of drilling fluid during drilling operations. In particular, the additive is formed such that the additive can be incorporated into the drilling fluid wi th much greater speed than powdered or ground additives of similar components. A dense additive is created from lost circulation and seepage control material  for use in drilling operations. The steps to create this dense additive include grinding of the lost circulation and seepage control material to produce a small particle size and applying pressure to the lost circulation and seepage control material such that it densifies and is forced through apertures creating a pelletized dense additive. Heating the ground lost circulation and seepage control material, which can release oils or other binding components, is a typical byproduct of the process of forcing the ground product through the apertures.

Title: Determining a compact model to transcribe the arabic language acoustically in a well defined basic phonetic study
Inventor: GHALI MIKHAIL E
IPC: G10L15/18
Filed: 2002-04-16
Abstract: In the development of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, an extensive study of the basic phonetic alphabet is performed to collect information regarding phonology and phonetics of the language or dialect in question (modem standard Arabic or MSA in this case). In addition, terminological and transcriptional problems are identified with respect to the language or dialect in question.  Next, based on feature description (rather than symbol shapes), the symbols in the literature are mapped to a single or more recent phonetic alphabet. Lastly, from a maximal set containing all the phonemes, allophones, and transliteration symbols, a reduced set is created with a compact set of phonetic alphabets. Memory consumption is greatly reduced in a computer system by using this compact set of phonetic alphabets

Title: Apparatus and method for packet scheduling
Inventor: DALLY WILLIAM J
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-09-06
Abstract: In a network router, a tree structure or a sorting network is used to compare scheduling values and select a packet to be forwarded from an appropriate queue. In the tree structure, each leaf represents the scheduling value of a queue and internal nodes of the structure represent winners in comparisons of scheduling values of sibling nodes of the tree structure. CBR scheduling values may first be compared to select a queue and, if transmission from a CBR  queue is not timely, a packet may be selected using WFQ scheduling values. The scheduling values are updated to reflect variable packet lengths and byte stuffing in the prior packet. Scheduling may be performed in multiple stages.

Title: Strip casting
Inventor: FUKASE HISAHIKO
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: Start up method for initiating casting of metal strip in a twin roll caster comprising parallel casting rolls (16). A casting pool of molten metal is supported on the casting rolls and confined at the ends of the rolls by side closure plates (56) and the rolls are rotated to deliver cast strip downwardly from the nip between them. One roll (16) is continuously biased laterally toward the other roll (16) either by spring biasing units (110) or by hydraulic biasing units (11). On start up the gap between rolls (16) is set so as to be less than the thickness of the strip to be cast and the rolls are rotated at such speed that on pouring of molten metal to initiate casting strip is produced to a thickness which is greater than the initial gap between the rolls thereby to cause the biased roll (16) to move bodily away from the other roll to increase the gap between the rolls to accommodate the thickness of the cast strip. This allows initiation of casting without the need for introduction of a dummy bar between the rolls. The peripheral surfaces of rolls (16) may have a negative crown c and the initial gap at the centres of the rolls may be d0=2c + g0 where g0 is an initial roll edge gap.

Title: Broadband network with enterprise wireless communication system and method for residential and business environment
Inventor: MILLER ROBERT RAYMOND II
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2002-06-04
Abstract: The present invention sets forth a network-centric service distribution architecture and method that integrates a wireless access system/service in the residence, SOHO, business or public environment through the use of a local broadband network, such as a Residential-Business Broadband Network (RBN), to the service provider's broadband transport network and to a service provider's broadband packet network that facilitates end-to-end packet telecommunication services. The Media Terminal Adapter is coupled via the RBN to the access port(s) and via the service provider's broadband transport network to the service provider's broadband packet network. The access port is coupled to the Media Terminal Adapter via either a RBN (e.g., a Local Area Network - LAN) or simply via a traditional POTS line interface. The access port receives and sends wireless signals to a plurality of RBN devices, allowing the user to control theses devices remotely from the residence, business, SOHO or public environments. The integration of an RBN to a service provider's broadband packet network allows a subscriber to communicate at home and at the office with one communication device anytime anywhere. A service provider can deploy services in an integrated voice, data and multimedia environment cost effectively based on one broadband packet network.
