Patent CA-2300196-A1 (CA)
Title: Centralized management of communication devices
Inventor: SUONVIERI JUKKA
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1998-08-14
Abstract: The idea of this invention is to control different types of network elements with the same management system by connecting the network elements into the management system using a conversion element. The control messages such as alarms and acknowledgments transmitted by the network element via a modem and being dependent on the network element type are directed to the conversion element. The conversion element converts the message transmitted by the network element into a format understood by the management system and then transmits the converted message to the management system. Correspondingly, the management system transmits the configuration etc. messages to the conversion element in its own format. The conversion element converts the message on the basis of the information about the identity of the receiving network element to the format used by the network element and transmits it forward. For the message format conversion, the conversion element uses a conversion file. The conversion file contains information about the message formats used by the different network elements and how the contents of the fields are to be converted from one format to another. When new types of network elements are added to the network, the conversion file is updated by adding the information required for converting the message format of the new network element type to the format understood by the management system.

Filed: 1999-09-21
Abstract: A multicarrier communication device most suitable for a network built in a small-scale business or in a household, manufactured at low cost, having a high transmission rate, and resistant to noise. When a QAM encoder (12) outputs DMT modulation/demodulation multicarrier data, LPFs (12a to 12d) cut off the frequency band of each carrier to 1/4. Then an inverse Fourier transforming circuit (13) performs inverse Fourier transform, and a P/S (14) performs serial conversion. An up-sampling circuit (14a) up-samples the serially-converted multicarrier data at a four-time rate to convert the data to multicarrier data the frequency intervals between the carriers of which is 4x.DELTA.f and the frequency band of which is W. The multicarrier data is outputted into a power line (30) through a D/A converter (15), a transmission AMP (16), an LPF (17), and a power line coupling circuit (18).

Title: Spade blade drill and method of making
Inventor: DEWALD A BRUCE JR
IPC: B23B51/02
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: A spade blade drill having blended open notch forms on either side of an apex. The notches transition into elliptical flutes which extend outwardly toward sides of the insert. The elliptical flute profiles inhibit chip curling and packing. The sides incorporate a pair of surfaces having a reduced clearance angle for preventing chip packing. The blended open notches are deep and extend across the entire width of the flutes, enhancing heat transfer surface area and allowing chips to flow along the entire flute surfaces. A plurality of chip splatters extend from the flutes across two relief surfaces. The chip splatters have a rounded profile, inhibiting chips from becoming hung in the splatters.

Title: Anti-counterfeiting method and apparatus using digital screening
Inventor: KOLTAI FERENC
IPC: G09C5/00
Filed: 1999-01-12
Abstract: An apparatus and process for hiding the secondary image within the primary image and generating a high quality hard copy of the unified elemental image of a variety of media. The process comprises the steps of rasterizing the first image into a first elemental image and rasterizing the second image, compensated with its own inverse, into a second elemental image. The first elemental image and the second elemental image are merged into a unified elemental image based on a predetermined decoding and compensating principle, resulting in the second elemental image being hidden within the first elemental image. An output image is created based on the unified elemental image where the primary image is visible to an un-aided eye while the secondary image is hidden from the un-aided eye.

Title: Dispensing closure for package containing a consumable beverage
Inventor: WOOD CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: B65D47/20
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: A sealing and dispensing closure for the outlet opening of a package, such as a flexible plastic bottle (12) containing a consumable beverage. The closure comprises a closure base (20) which is threaded onto the outlet opening (14) of the bottle, and a removable overcap (40) which is pivotally connected to the closure base. The closure base includes a spout (25) having a self-sealing dispensing valve (28) therein which is movable from a lowered closed position to a raised open position by an increased pressure in the bottle resulting from the squeezing of the bottle.      The valve is positioned at a recessed location within the spout so as to preclude access to the valve by the consumer when the valve is lifted to its raised open position, and the overcap includes a post (50) which seats in the upper end of the spout when the overcap is mounted on the closure base, and so as to form a hermetically sealed chamber above the valve which prevents the valve from lifting to its raised position in the event the bottle is inadvertently squeezed.

Title: Enhancement of antibody-cytokine fusion protein mediated immune responses by co-administration with angiogenesis inhibitor
Inventor: GILLIES STEPHEN D
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-04-15
Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for enhancing a cytocidal immune response directed against a preselected cell-type in a mammal. The methods and compositions rely on a combination of an antibody-cytokine immunoconjugate and an angiogenesis inhibitor.  Once administered to the mammal, the immunoconjugate induces an immune response against the preselected cell-type, for example, a cancer cell which, as a result of the synergy with the angiogenesis inhibitor, is greater than the immune response induced by the immunoconjugate alone. The methods and compositions are particularly useful at killing solid tumors or virally-infected cells in a mammal.
