Patent CA-2380467-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AULT JAN C
IPC: H04W48/18
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A method and computer program product for acquiring service in a border area that is serviced by two communications systems that share the same frequencies. The method includes the steps of scanning a predetermined range of control (206) channels in order to determine (208) the first and second strongest control channels. A determination is then made as to whether a first system identification code (SID) associated with a signal received over the strongest control channel is acceptable (236). This can be accomplished, for example, by comparing the first SID to a list of acceptable SIDs.  Conventionally, if the SID associated with a signal received over the strongest control channel is not acceptable, the system acquisition process will be aborted. However, now, the probability of acquiring service is increased because a determination is made whether a SID associated with the signal received over the second strongest control channel is acceptable (228), if the first SID was found not to be acceptable. Similarly, the second strongest paging channel can be used to increase the probability of acquiring service.

Title: Method and system for automatically purging code objects being updated by download
Inventor: LEHRMAN IRA S
IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 2000-08-15
Abstract: A method and system allow a system operator of a cable television system to control the management of multiple versions of a code object in set-top terminals connected to the television system. When the system operator signals the set-top terminals to download code objects from the signal provided over the cable system, the download instructions specify a version of the object to be acquired. If an object with the same identifier, but a different version thereof, is already in the set-top terminal's memory unit, the terminal can automatically purge that other version of the object from memory when downloading the object specified by the system operator. A dedicated flag in the download instruction message can be used to selectively activate and deactivate the automatic purge from memory of different versions of an object being downloaded.
Patent CA-2382557-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DODGSON JOHN ROBERT
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a gas sensor and its method of manufacture.  Electrochemical gas sensors usually comprise an external housing, which acts as a reservoir for electrolyte; a wick to keep electrodes wetted with the electrolyte and external electrical terminals, for making electrical contact with the electrodes. Typically a gas permeable/microporous membrane has been used to seal a gas sensor in order to prevent leakage of electrolyte. A problem with existing sensors has been that there was a risk of electrolyte leaking through the membrane around the region where electrical connector passed therethrough. The present invention overcomes this by providing a method of urging conductive polymer through the membrane under controlled conditions of heat and pressure, thereby ensuring the integrity of the membrane remains intact whilst defining an electrically/conductive pathway therethrough.

Patent CA-2386832-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROBB DAMON B
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: There is provided a method of, and apparatus for, analyzing a sample of an analyte provided as a sample solution comprising a solvent and an analyte. A dopant is provided, either separately or as the solvent of the sample solution. The sample solution is formed into a spray, for example in a nebulizer, and the solvent evaporated. The sample stream is irradiated in a region at atmospheric pressure, either in the liquid state prior to formation of a spray, or in the liquid state after formation of a droplet spray, or in the vapour state after evaporation of the sprayed droplets, to ionize the dopant. Then, subsequent collisions between the ionized dopant and the analyte, either directly or indirectly, result in ionization of the analyte. Analyte ions are passed from the atmospheric pressure ionization region into a mass analyzer for mass analysis. This technique has been found to give much enchanced inonization for some substances, as compared to atmospheric pressure chemical ionization.
