Title: Gravity and differential gravity sensor, and system and method for monitoring reservoirs using same
Inventor: ORBAN ANDRE E
IPC: G01V7/14
Filed: 2002-10-07
Abstract: A gravity sensor is disclosed which includes a first mass adapted to free fall when selectively released from an initial position. The mass has optical elements adapted to change a length of an optical path in response to movement of the mass. The sensor output is coupled to a beam splitter. One output of the splitter is coupled substantially optically directly to an interferometer. Another output of the splitter is coupled to the interferometer through an optical delay line. A frequency of the interference pattern is directly related to gravity at the mass. A second such mass having similar optics, optically coupled in series to the first mass and adapted to change the path length in opposed sign, when selectively dropped to cause time coincident movement of the two masses, generates an interference pattern having frequency related to gravity difference.

Title: System and method for triggering actions at a host computer by telephone
Inventor: CARMELLO SALVATORE
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: A system and method for remotely triggering a predetermined program at a host computer system using a telephone ring signal is disclosed. The host computer system includes a ring detection and triggering circuit, a control monitor program, and at least one activation script, wherein the activation script could be a series of commands which create a connection between the host system and the Internet. A ring signal on a phone line connected to the host system is detected by the ring detection circuitry, and subsequently a trigger signal is generated by a trigger circuit which is detected by the control monitor program running on the host system. The control monitor program responds to the trigger signal and executes the activation script, thereby causing a connection to be established between the host system and the Internet. Other features, such as multiple activation scripts, remote user authentication, and feedback validation tones are also disclosed.      Further disclosed is a method of operating an ISP server computer for detecting whether a connection is being requested of a customer's host computer system, of determining whether the host computer system is presently connected to the Internet, and if the host system is not connected, of dialing a phone number which triggers an activation program stored at the host system, thereby causing the host system to connect to the Internet so that it can be accessed.

Title: Protective coating for color filters
Inventor: HOLGUIN DANIEL L
IPC: C09J7/35
Filed: 2001-05-24
Abstract: There is provided an adhesive article (20) including (a) a radiation curable adhesive layer (26) comprising an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and, optionally, an acrylated urethane polymer; and (b) a transparent carrier layer (22). The adhesive article may contain a radiation curable epoxy layer (24) between the radiation curable adhesive layer (26) and the transparent carrier layer (22). This adhesive article is particularly useful in preparing protective coatings on color filters for use in a liquid-crystal display panel structure. The radiation curable epoxy layer and radiation curable pressure sensitive adhesive are applied to the color filter and then exposed to UV  radiation. The UV radiation exposure transforms the pressure sensitive adhesive from a removable adhesive to a permanent adhesive. The color filter with the UV cured adhesive layer is then baked to fully cure the adhesive layer and to transform the adhesive further into a near structural adhesive.  The cured adhesive layer, and cured epoxy layer, if present, make up the protective coating for the color filter.

IPC: H01H73/02
Filed: 2002-12-31
Abstract: A circuit breaker is equipped with a motorized control 26 acting on an operating member 18 oscillating between a loaded position and a closed position, passing via a closing dead point position. When the unit is open or reset by means of the motorized control, the operating member 18 is moved to an indexed position close to the closing dead point position, so as to minimize the closing time. The circuit breaker also has an opening dead point position. To minimize the opening-closing cycle time, the motor 82 drives the operating member from the closed position to an indexed turning position situated between the opening dead point position and the loaded position, before changing direction.
Patent CA-2415797-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLOOM JOHN
IPC: A01K77/00
Filed: 2003-01-08
Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus permitting single handed extension of a telescoped net handle such that the fisherman grasps the net handle, steps on the most distal portion of the net frame and draws the net handle through a handle guide aperture and counter bore in the handle guide and locking apparatus and toward the extended position. A locking pin assembly presents a spring extended locking pin positioned proximal the handle first end which encounters a chamfer at the fish net handle guide and locking apparatus top side; the chamfer causing the locking pin to depress and enter a locating counterbore which terminates at a locating shoulder. As the net handle is extended further the depressed locking pin terminates extension of the net handle when it encounters the locating shoulder at which point the fisherman's rotation of the handle will cause the locking pin to encounter and enter a locking aperture in the locking assembly thus placing the fish net in condition for secure operation.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining a prepayment score for an individual applicant
Inventor: EGINTON A WILLIAM
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for determining the prepayment propensit y of individual borrowers. Early payment of debt instruments, such as loans an d leases, can lead to looses being suffered by lenders. The present invention analyzes the demographics associated with a particular borrower to determine  both the individual and group based prepayment propensity. The history of th e borrower, the history of the borrower's demographic group, interest rate trends and other factors are then used to calculate a prepayment score that can be used by the lender to determine the propensity of a given borrower to  prepay the instrument in question. The score of the individual borrower can be used to estimate the profitability of a debt instrument and allow the lender  to make appropriate adjustments prior to issuing the instrument. The individual prepayment scores of a lender's or broker's clients can also be used to rate the lender or broker.
