Patent CA-2605876-A1 (CA)
Inventor: UUSIVIRTA LAURI
IPC: G01N11/14
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: The method measures consistency with a rotating consistency meter. The method comprises chopping (900) with the teeth of a chopper structure optical radiation transmitted by an optical source to an optical detector while the shafts of the rotating consistency meter rotate. In addition, a chopper reference of the chopper structure chops (902) optical radiation to form at least one reference pulse independent of the swivel between the shafts. The duration of each ref erence pulse is measured (904) when measuring consistency. The change in the reference pulse is defined (906) by comparing the duration of the meas ured reference pulse with the duration of the predefined reference pulse. The durations of the measuring pulses are corrected (908) according to the change in the duration of the reference pulse.

Title: A flame reaction material and a flame reaction member
Inventor: ZHENG DA
IPC: C10L10/00
Filed: 2007-11-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a flame reaction material, particularly a gas combustion flame reaction material for gas combustion appliances and a flame reaction member thereof. The gas combustion flame reaction material is formed by a single alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound, and said alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound has a melting point lower than a combustion temperature of combustible gases and produces a crystal after high-temperature combustion. The flame reaction member comprises a substrate and a flame reaction material adhered to the surface of the substrate in the form of crystal. The substrate is a metal conductor. Because the gas combustion flame reaction material is formed by a single alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound, it is unnecessary to consider the proportion of the metal or compound to other materials during fabrication and thus the flame reaction member is convenient to produce. Further, the gas combustion flame reaction material may be used to produce a flame reaction member capable of producing a flame with a variety of colors such as yellow, purple, pink, brick red, carmine, kelly and the like.

Title: Method and system for managing internal and external calls for a group of communication clients sharing a common customer identifier
Inventor: WOLF ERIC JOHN
IPC: H04Q3/47
Filed: 2006-12-21
Abstract: A method and network element for implementing a virtual PBX feature for a customer associated with a plurality of endpoints. The method comprises receiving information regarding a call. Based on the information regarding the call, it is determined if the call is an external inbound call or an internal call that identifies a particular one of the endpoints. Responsive to determining that the call is an external inbound call, the call is caused to be routed to the plurality of endpoints associated with the customer, while responsive to determining that the call is an internal call that identifies a particular one of the endpoints, the call is caused to be routed to the particular one of the endpoints. This allows members of a small business or household to share a common external subscriber line, while also allowing the members to reach one another with ease.

Title: Rapid hot water apparatus and method
Inventor: ADAMS CHARLES L
IPC: G05D7/06
Filed: 2006-06-07
Abstract: An apparatus is shown for attachment to a plumbing system for the rapid on-demand delivery of hot water through the plumbing system to an ultimate point of use. The apparatus includes a diverter valve located in a hot water supply line upstream of the point of use. The diverter valve is actuated for a predetermined interval by a user to initially purge cold water from the hot water line to a drain. After the preset interval, the valve automatically closes. The initial diversion of cold water standing in the water supply line causes rapid delivery of hot water to the point of use once the diverter valve has completed its cycle.

Title: Apparatus and method for measurement reporting in a cellular telecommunications system
Inventor: HU RONG
IPC: H04L1/12
Filed: 2005-10-21
Abstract: The signalling overhead in cellular communication systems such as OFDMA is reduced by calculating a report value as a function of each measurement value that is to be reported from a user terminal to the network. The report value is preferably based on a maximum value for the parameter measured, and can be represented by fewer bits than the measurement value. The overhead may be further reduced by selecting only the best measurement values for reporting from the user terminal to the network.

Title: Locking mechanism
Inventor: MCGUIRE MICHAEL S
IPC: A61C17/22
Filed: 2008-09-03
Abstract: The present invention provides a locking mechanism position,ed in a toothbrush handle having interchangeable heads, comprising a shaft that extends the length of the handle, with an elliptical tip at one end and receiving means at the opposite end. A  key may be interconnected to the receiving means to permit the elliptical tip to rotate.  In a first position, the elliptical tip permits the removal and replacement of an interchangeable head, because the longer dimensions of the elliptical tip and an elliptically cross-sectioned opening in the interchangeable head coincide. In a second, rotated position, the elliptical tip locks within the interchangeable head, as the longer dimensions no longer coincide.

Title: Method and apparatus for caption production
Inventor: CHAPDELAINE CLAUDE
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 2009-01-27
Abstract: A method for determining a location of a caption in a video signal associated with a Region Of Interest (ROI), such as a face or text, or an area of high motion activity. The video signal is processed to generate ROI location information, the ROI location information conveying the position of the ROI in at least one video frame. The position where a caption can be located within one or more frames of the video signal is then determined on the basis of the ROI location information. This is done by identifying at least two possible positions for the caption in the frame such that the placement of the caption in either one of the two positions will not mask the ROI. A selection is then made among the at least two possible positions. The position picked is the one that would typically be the closest to the ROI such as to create a visual association between the caption and the ROI.
