Patent CA-2134431-A1 (CA)
Title: Dynamically Controlled Routing Using Virtual Nodes
Inventor: BEDARD FRANCOIS
IPC: H04Q3/52
Filed: 1994-10-26
Abstract: A    dynamically    controlled    routing    (DCR) telecommunications  network  is  formed by a plurality of network switching elements, each connected to at least one other by at least one circuit group for carrying calls therebetween,  and a network processor  connected  to  the network elements by data links.   Each network switching element determines,  for each call, a neighbouring network element  to which it  should be routed.   It does  so by accessing a routing table which contains alternate routes to be attempted if a direct route either does not exist or cannot be used.  The routing tables are updated periodically by the network controller.  The DCR network functions as a group of nodes interconnected by links and routing takes place on a node-to-node basis.  At least one of the nodes is a logical entity which does not necessarily have a direct correspondence to a single physical network element but rather corresponds to a group of at least one physical component which may be a network element, a part of a network element, or a plurality of network elements or parts thereof.    Likewise, a link to the virtual node does not necessarily correspond to a circuit group but comprises the set of direct circuit groups connecting to the components of the virtual node.  DCR networks employing virtual nodes have increased flexibility.  For example, final destinations outside the DCR network can be  associated with the virtual  node  as  an intermediate destination node, thereby allowing a call to exit the DCR network via any of the components of the virtual node rather than via only one Unique Exit Gateway.

Patent CA-2141553-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEGER CHARLES E
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 1993-08-11
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un localisateur d'éléments de charpente à double sensibilité conçu pour détecter aussi bien des éléments de charpente situés derrière des murs épais que des éléments de charpente situés derrière des murs minces. La détection est consécutive à une variation de la charge capacitive des plaques (24, 32) au droit d'un élément de charpente sous le mur ausculté. Le localisateur signale à l'opérateur, au moyen d'un signal de sortie (14, 18, 26), que le détecteur a été mal étalonné au droit d'un élément de charpente. Il signale également à l'opérateur les cas où le mur est trop épais ou trop mince pour autoriser la détection. Un registre numérique (38) permet de conserver l'étalonnage approprié du détecteur aussi longtemps qu'il est sous tension.

Title: Combined Dictionary Based and Likely Character String Method of Handwriting Recognition
Inventor: SEYBOLD JOHN L C
IPC: G06V30/32
Filed: 1994-11-10
Abstract: In a handwriting recognition process, a list of candidate recognized words is identified (202) as a function of both comparison of dictionary entries to various combinations of recognized character combinations, and through a most likely character string and most likely string of digits analysis as developed without reference to the dictionary. The process selects (301) a word from the list and presents (302) this word to the user. The user then has the option of displaying (303) this list. When displaying the list, candidate words developed with reference to the dictionary are displayed in segregated manner from the most likely character string words and the most likely string of digits. The user can charge the selected word by choosing from the list, or edit the selected word. When the user selects the most likely character string as the correct representation of the handwritten input to be recognized, the process automatically updates (310) the dictionary to include the most likely character string The same process can occur when the user selects the most likely string of digits.

Title: Prosthesis fixturing device
Inventor: PAPPAS MICHAEL J
IPC: A61F2/38
Filed: 1995-10-10
Abstract: A tibia fixturing device comprises a metal tray formed with annularly spaced recesses in its underside at a depth of at least about 1.5 mm and from which a stem depends for axial insertion into a tibia conical cavity. The stem has a circular cylindrical portion proximal the tray and a conical portion distal the tray. Fins radially extend from the stem cylindrical portion and penetrate the tibia to provide some torsional resistance. Axially extending channels are formed about the stem periphery which channels have bottom surfaces parallel to the stem axis to provide further torsional resistance. The channels are arranged to not interlock with the cement in the axial direction to permit the cement to separate first from the device during axial removal of the device from the bone. The fins have inclined edges distal the tray and inclined radial outer edges to align and center the stem to the bone cavity edge. Cement in the tray recesses bonds the tray to a tibia resected surface to provide major torsional resistance of the tray about the cavity longitudinal axis.

IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1995-12-20
Abstract: Query electrodes are provided for monitoring the electrical impedance of tissue as it is treated with electrosurgical energy. In one embodiment, based on a predicted model of tissue impedance and a number of initial impedance readings, the impedance at which tissue treatment is completed is predicted. More particularly, a minimum impedance level is measured and a function of the minimum impedance is used to determine impedance at which coagulation is completed. A control device is provided for bringing the output of the generator within an optimum range based on a system load curve. In one embodiment the impedance monitoring device is used in conjunction with a bipolar electrosurgical instrument. Preferably, the instrument comprises electrically opposite therapeutic electrodes, each located on one or more tissue engaging surfaces for engaging tissue to be treated, and electrically opposite query electrodes, located on one or more tissue engaging surfaces. The therapeutic electrodes provide therapeutic energy to the tissue while the query electrodes provide a lower voltage electrical sensing energy for the purpose of measuring tissue impedance at various stages, e.g. before, during, or after tissue treatment.
