Patent CA-2698165-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GASKELL PETER JOHN AYRTON
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2008-09-01
Abstract: A project management system comprises a means for storing each of a plurality of process definitions, a plurality of phase definitions, a plurality of task definitions, an association between each task definition and a selected process definition and a selected phase definition, and task status information associated with each task, and a display means for displaying a two-dimensional grid arrangement in which a first dimension is subdivided according to process definitions and a second dimension is subdivided according to phase definitions, thereby to define a plurality of cells at the intersection of the two dimensions, a plurality of the cells thus defined therefore representing tasks, in respect of which task status information is displayed. A means for storing user identities and user rights associated with the user identities will allow the display means to be adapted to limit the display according to the user rights, either by withholding information relating to processes and/or phases not defined in the user rights, and/or by aggregating a plurality of cells and displaying a composite task status. This project management system is preferably provided via a suitable computer system, and a software module is arranged to implement this.  Further, a project management summary view can comprise a two-dimensional grid arrangement in which a first dimension is subdivided according to processes and a second dimension is subdivided according to phases of work, thereby to define a plurality of cells at the intersection of the two dimensions, a plurality of the cells representing tasks in respect of which task status information is displayed. This project management system is particularly (but not exclusively) useful in the design of an engineered item. The proper oversight of the project permitted by the invention allows a more optimal design to be arrived at, and can also improve the project timescale and budget.
Patent CA-2700318-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GHOLMIEH AZIZ
IPC: H04W48/08
Filed: 2008-09-29
Abstract: Facilitating user terminal (UT) access to wireless networks having disparate types of base stations (BSs) is described herein. By way of example, a distinct identifier (ID) can be reserved for a particular type of network access point (e.g., restricted or general access, full or fractional re-use, transmit power, cell size, etc.). The distinct ID can be broadcast by such access points, identifying the access point type. In some aspects, the distinct ID can be unicast to a terminal that is within a predetermined region of the network. Thus, at least within such region, the terminal can be directed to search for or handoff to a preferred type of access point (such as a home Node B). In such aspects, by providing regional-specific access, the subject disclosure can significantly reduce overhead signaling outside a home region where a home or preferred access point is expected to be found.

Patent CA-2713419-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CONSTABLE COLIN
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2008-02-01
Abstract: The dynamic access evaluation system receives a service request from a device seeking access to a network. The system receives information about the requester, the device from which the request is made and/or the location of the requester and the device. The system analyzes rule sets for the application being requested on the network to determine whether authentication is necessary. The system authenticates the requester based on a comparison of authorization information to information about the requester received in the request. The system authenticates the device by comparing device information in the request to historical device information. Furthermore, the system receives location information for the device and the requester and compares them to determine whether the locations are the same or similar. After granting access, the system continues to monitor information about the requester, device, or location and can terminate device access based on a change in the monitored information.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for reducing pressure and velocity of a particulate-laden, supersonic vent gas stream from a pressure vessel such as an autoclave. The apparatus includes a diverging duct in which the vent gas expands, and a perforated plate located inside the diverging duct. The perforated plate provides an area reduction that increases back pressure and forces an upstream normal shock in the diverging duct, thereby bringing about a desired reduction in pressure and velocity. The perforated plate is comprised of a material, such as a ceramic, that is resistant to erosion by the abrasive particulate entrained in the high velocity vent gas. The perforated plate has a central portion provided with holes and an imperforate peripheral portion which is resiliently received between connection flanges of the duct.

Abstract: A bearing assembly (20) with a self-lubricated liner interface (70) supported between a spherical outside surface (72) of a sealed agricultural bearing (20b) and a steel containment housing (60,62). The interface (70) includes a lubrication-impregnated plastic interposed between the housing (60,62) and the spherical surface (72) to relieve the bearing from the high forces of shaft misalignment. The plastic liner includes a compressible portion such as radially projecting protrusions (82), 0-rings (82a) or other resilient band, or compressible molded plastic (H2) to accommodate varying tolerances between the outside spherical surface (72) and housing cavity surfaces (68) and liner (70) and to bias the liner (70) against the spherical surface (72) to prevent bearing rotation.  The plastic liner halves (70a,70b) fit firmly over the outside bearing surface to reduce entry of dirt and contaminants into the housing and onto the spherical bearing surface (74). The sealed bearing (20b) and self-lubricated interface (70) eliminate need for external grease ports.
