Patent CA-2129548-C (CA)
Title: A method of producing an intelligent network service
Inventor: JONSSON BJOERN ERIK RUTGER
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 1993-02-01
Granted: 2000-12-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and to a system for achieving communication between a customer of a service which can be supplied over a telecommunication network and a supplier of the service. The invention finds its application in intelligent network services. A service order from the customer passes to a service order central where it is parked and allotted an order identity, which is transferred through a signal connection together with the order. The service supplier can, himself, configure the method in which the service shall be delivered and the service supplier himself takes the initiative of creating a communication connection with the service order central and therewith refers to the order identity. When the communication connection has been established, the connection is coupled by the service order central with the parked call from the customer and delivery of the service can commence.      A method which utilizes the services of subsidiary suppliers is also possible.

Title: Information model based on a physical system
Inventor: NUTTALL DAVID J H
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1993-08-31
Granted: 2000-10-17
Abstract: An information model based on a physical system, such as the physical equipment in a power system. An object-oriented information model provides a generic power system model that may be applied to any of several specific applications. In the invention, physical pieces of equipment are represented as objects with attributes that can be verified (primary data) and relations including connectivity, grouping, and location. The model handles all known configurations of power systems and is extensible to new configurations. Attribute input is supported from primary sources and is used to calculate data required by applications programs. A window-based graphical user interface uniquely simplifies operation of the database. Thus, the present invention provides a single, easy to use, source for all proprietary application databases at a utility.

Granted: 2006-07-11
Abstract: The present invention is a multilayer film having a first layer including a blend of a crystalline nylon and a material which disrupts the crystallinity of the crystalline nylon; a second layer also including this blend; and a third intervening layer, between the first and second layers, including a material having a modulus lower than the modulus of the crystalline nylon, and having a crystallinity of less than 60%. The nylon blend layers, which can be two or more in the film, add toughness and stiffness, but also elastic recovery to the final film. The intervening layer or layers of a material with relatively low modulus and crystallinity aid in orientation of the film during manufacture, permitting the use of more of the crystalline nylon than would be practical if only a single nylon layer was used.

Title: Economizer system
Inventor: PAJU RAIMO
IPC: F22B31/04
Filed: 1996-03-05
Granted: 1999-04-27
Abstract: An otherwise conventional recovery boiler for burning black liquor (e.g. with a consistency of between about 70-90%) requires less capital investment and takes up less space by constructing the economizers in a particular manner. At least first and second economizers are provided for preheating feed water utilizing flue gas from combustion of the black liquor. The economizers are positioned substantially adjacent each other and connected in such a way that flue gas leaving the first economizer passes substantially directly (i.e. without going through a conventional accessory passage) into the second economizer.  The economizer inlets and outlets are substantially at the same level as the adjacent economizer outlets and inlets, or vertically spaced less than about one-third the length of the previous economizer. A boiler bank may be connected between the superheater section of the recovery boiler and the first economizer, and any number of economizers can be utilized. The flue gas flowing through one economizer are turned after exiting so that it flows in a substantially opposite direction while passing through the adjacent economizer.
