Title: Disposable aerosol generator system and methods for administering the aerosol
Inventor: NICHOLS WALTER A
IPC: A61M11/04
Filed: 2001-11-30
Abstract: A disposable aerosol generator for use with an inhaler device which includes a heater adapted to volatilize fluid stored in the disposable aerosol generator and method of using the inhaler. The disposable body includes a sealed chamber and an outlet, the chamber being located between first and second layers of material. The chamber holds a predetermined volume of a fluid which is expelled through the outlet when the fluid in the chamber is volatilized by the heater. The disposable body can include a series of spaced apart aerosol generators, each of which can be advanced to a release position at which the heater can heat one of the fluid containing chambers. Prior to heating the fluid, the outlet can be formed by severing the first and/or second layer with a piercing element and the volatilized fluid can be expelled from the outlet into a passage of a dispensing member.

Title: Cartridge and recording apparatus
Inventor: ASAUCHI NOBORU
IPC: G03G21/00
Filed: 2003-08-08
Abstract: An ink cartridge 10 has a memory controller 15 that controls a series of processing that involves rewriting data into a memory 14. The memory 14 stores information regarding the ink cartridge 10, for example, a residual quantity of ink in the ink cartridge 10. A control unit 22 of a printer 20 gives the ink cartridge 10 an instruction including a specified address to execute operation of rewriting the data in the memory 14 (either an operation of erasing the existing data from the memory 14 or an operation of writing data into the memory 14). In response to the given instruction, the memory controller 15 rewrites the data at the specified address in the memory 14 and sends back a response signal or an acknowledgement representing completion of the rewriting operation, together with address-related information corresponding to the specified address. The control unit 22 receives the address-related information and verifies whether data has been rewritten correctly at a right address. This arrangement ensures a sufficiently high reliability in the operation of rewriting data into the memory.

Patent CA-2440236-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAKKAKORPI JANI
IPC: H04L47/56
Filed: 2001-12-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for scheduling data packets in a network element of a packet data network, such as an IP network, wherein queue weights and sizes are adjusted at the same time so that the maximum queuing delay is as predictable as possible. Respective sizes of at least two data packet queues are adjusted at a predetermined or triggered timing based on at least one predetermined parameter indicating a change in the traffic mix routed through the network element or within a set of network elements. Thereby, more predictable maximum delays can be achieved.

Title: Apparatus for compressing a gas by means of solar energy and/or ambient heat
Inventor: BAMMER PETER
IPC: F03G6/04
Filed: 2002-03-15
Abstract: A device for compressing gas by using solar energy or ambient heat comprises two high-pressure heat exchangers (1, 2). One high-pressure heat exchanger (1) serves as a solar collector and the other high-pressure heat exchanger (2) serves as a cooler. Both high-pressure heat exchangers (1, 2) are interconnected via pipes, valves (8, 31, 32, 33) and a pneumatic cylinder (5).  A pressure difference resulting from different temperature levels of both high-pressure heat exchangers (1, 2) displaces the pneumatic cylinder (5), whereby the pneumatic cylinder (5) acts upon a compressor (40). In order to utilize the compression heat, the compressed gas is led through the primary side of the high-pressure heat exchanger (1) that functions as a collector. The stored compressed air is used for driving a turbine (12). The gas that is expanded by a turbine (12) cools down rapidly and is led over the primary side of the high-pressure heat exchanger (2) that functions as a cooler. A high-pressure heat exchanger system of the aforementioned type is suited for driving automobiles or as a stationary installation, e.g. on the roofs of buildings.

Abstract: A method for sending a message via a label switch telecommunications network, in particular an MPLS network. The method comprises identifying at a first router (20) an input label (B) attached to the message and using the first label (B) to identify a output label (C) that defines a forward path for the message. This is done by reading the label table (28) in the router (20). Once the output label (C) is identified, the input label (B) is replaced with the output label (C) and the message and the output label (C) together are sent to another node (22) of the network. When a return message (32) is to be sent, input labels for the forward message path are used as output labels for the return message path (34).

Inventor: GOW ROBERT T
IPC: C07D309/40

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'obtention d'un produit de kava traité, qui consiste à utiliser un solvant d'extraction, de type CO¿2 ?liquide, pour extraire de préférence des kavalactones différentes d'un matériau source, à des vitesses différentes. La modulation des paramètres d'extraction, l'interruption de l'extraction avant que toutes les kavalactones aient été extraites, ou la précipitation des kavalactones extraites, de préférence dans un ou plusieurs environnements de collecte, permettent d'obtenir un produit de kava traité présentant un profil de répartition de kavalactone qui peut différer sensiblement de celui du matériau source. Ainsi, des racines d'un cultivar de kava moins recherché peuvent être utilisées de manière à obtenir un produit de kava traité qui présente un profil de répartition de kavalactone identique à celui du cultivar hautement recherché. La pâte de kava peut en outre être traitée afin d'obtenir une poudre sèche fluide propre à être utilisée, par exemple, dans une formule de fabrication de comprimés. L'invention concerne également une formulation de comprimé à dissolution rapide destinée à l'administration des kavalactones.
