Patent CA-2344785-C (CA)
Inventor: KESKES NAAMEN
IPC: G01V1/34
Filed: 2001-04-24
Granted: 2008-12-02
Abstract: The method uses the image obtained by accumulating continuity curves representative of seismic horizons so as to determine the geological strata constituting the seismic section, such as they were deposited and not such as they are observed today. To do this, the method defines a transformation of the vertical scale of the seismic section, scale measured in seismic times, into a geological vertical scale measured in geological times. This transformation is based on an equalization of histograms. Starting from equalized histograms, the method makes it possible to determine equalized seismic sections which are used to determine the rates of sedimentation which governed the depositions of geological strata. In particular, it highlights geological hiatuses, that is to say erosions and gaps.
Patent CA-2346551-C (CA)
Inventor: ROCHER NORBERT
IPC: A01K15/02
Filed: 1999-10-14
Granted: 2008-04-22
Abstract: The invention concerns the field of articles for dogs. Presently, there does not exist a type of ball specially designed for dogs, and yet it is more amusing to play ball with one's dog rather than play ball by oneself. Since the existing types of balls do not have any gripping means, the dog tries to seize it with its mouth by squeezing it thus causing to burst easily. The invention brings a solution to said problem. At least one oblong gripping element (1) is located at the ball periphery with which it is in contact, either indirectly via a covering element (2) enclosing the ball, or directly by extending its external casing, or inner bladder or an element interposed between the two latter elements. Said device has an elastic articulation between the gripping element (1) and the ball, permanently returning the gripping element (1) in a radial position relative to the ball centre. Said invention is of particular interest to manufacturers of articles for dogs.

Title: Method for effecting the preventive and/or current display of transmission costs during the transmission of internet and online data
Inventor: KELLER WALTER
IPC: G06Q20/16
Filed: 2000-08-30
Granted: 2010-01-05
Abstract: The present invention suggests the introduction of an additional protocol element for a preventive display of transmission costs in the case of Internet and on-line services, at least for the transmission of larger quantities of data, such as, for example FTP  files, sent by the provider, which can, at least, contain the scope of the data in the pending transmission, as well as other price criteria, optionally, which is recognized as such by the nodes (routers) that are involved in the transmission, and which may be expanded by its own proportional transmission prices, such that, ultimately, in the recipient's PC, on the browser for example, an evaluation of the protocol element, with a display of the costs, accordingly, appears on the screen, after which the subscriber can institute a transmission or disrupt it and optionally, take additional measures, such as, for example, activating the automatic instigation of the transmission at a later, more favorable time from the standpoint of costs. In particular, the introduction of the protocol element for all pending transmissions of data, including, for example, HTML pages, makes sense as an option that affords protection against the senseless delivery of large numbers of illustrated pages, especially in cases of rapid Internet access.
