Patent CA-2422532-A1 (CA)
Title: Technique for effectively controlling communication links to an information assistance service
Inventor: BAKER NATHAN BRYANT
IPC: H04M3/493
Filed: 2003-03-18
Abstract: It is typical that a user calls an information assistance service provider to request information, e.g., a destination telephone number desired by the user, and chooses to be connected to the destination number. It is also typical that the information assistance service provider offers enhanced assistance service features, e.g., a StarBack feature. In prier art, to provide the enhanced service features, the user's call invariably continues to be connected to a servicing switch associated with the service provider after the user is connected to the destination number. To efficiently utilize the limited capacity of the servicing switch, in accordance with the invention, the user's call may be selectively released from the servicing switch before the call is connected to the destination number. Such a call release depends on certain criteria for determining whether the user is a candidate for utilizing an enhanced service feature after the call is connected to the destination number.

Patent CA-2425142-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZAWADA ROBERT H
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: The present invention provides for a device, a method, and a treatment syste m for chronic disease conditions. The present invention was designed using the  theoretical concepts of Quantum Biology. The principles of operation are bas ed on the device's ability to stimulate a Bose-Einstein condensate and excitati on of Frolich resonance in living tissue. The wavenumbers necessary for this excitation are derived from the solution to the equations for optical phonon  scattering in living tissue generated by optical photon excitation. The establishment of this degeneracy condition induces a super conducting state in the tissue. This super conducting state facilitates DNA replication, transcription and translation, thereby allowing the proper formation or regeneration of healthy tissue. This superconducting state provides the conditions necessary for establishing the violation of time reversal invariance in living tissue.
