IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2003-01-28
Abstract: At repeaters or at each individual unit of a distributed antenna system, an auxiliary pilot signal is transmitted in addition to a common base station pilot signal to mobile units. The auxiliary pilot signal is unique to each repeater and each individual unit of the distributed antenna system within a local propagation area.

Title: Epoxysilicone coated membranes
Inventor: CHIOU JEFFREY J
IPC: B01D67/00
Filed: 2002-04-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making a epoxysilicone coated membrane by coating a porous asymmetric membrane layer with a UV-curable controlled release epoxysilicone coating. A mixture of the epoxysilicone resin and an onium photocatalyst are applied to the porous asymmetric membrane layer in a dilute non-polar solution and cured by UV or electron beam radiation to produce a dry epoxysilicone coated membrane. The porous asymmetric membrane layer is comprised of an asymmetric cellulosic membrane or an asymmetric polymer membrane with a low selectivity. The epoxysilicone coating was found to provide the asymmetric membrane layer with improved selectivity which extends to separation temperatures below 70 ~C and provides stable flux rate s. Membranes produced in this manner are useful for the separation of gases suc h as carbon dioxide from natural gas.
Patent CA-2483896-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HORNER W NORVAL
IPC: E21B43/25
Filed: 2004-10-05
Abstract: Natural gas is produced from a reservoir above a bitumen reserve with minimal or no impact on concurrent or subsequent production of bitumen recovery techniques including SAGD. Greenhouse benefits over and above the benefits of coincidental recovery are available through the injection of waste gas containing carbon dioxide for maintaining pressure in the gas reservoir while producing natural gas. Carbon dioxide separates out of the waste gas through preferential absorption in connate or aquifer water, with the result that carbon dioxide is thereby both retarded from flowing to the natural gas production well and effectively sequestered in the reservoir water. Additional advantage is achieved wherein water influx at production wells can be managed and trapped gas can be recovered.

Inventor: PILON MARK
IPC: G06F12/084
Filed: 2004-10-14
Abstract: A system and method are provided for providing a shared RAM cache of a database, accessible by multiple processes. By sharing a single cache rath er than local copies of the database, memory is saved and synchronization of da ta accessed by different processes is assured. Synchronization between the database and the shared cache is assured by using a unidirectional notification mechanism between the database and the shared cache. Client APIs within the processes search the data within the shared cache directly, rather than by making a request to a database server. Therefore server load is not affected by the number of requesting applications and data fetch time is not affected by Inter-Process Communication delay or by additional context switching. A n ew synchronization scheme allows multiple processes to be used in building and maintaining the cache, greatly reducing start up time.

Title: Apparatus for creating a pathway in an animal and methods therefor
Inventor: LIM KANG S
IPC: A61M25/01
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for safer and more effective deep trans-cervical intra-uterine artificial insemination (AI) is provided. Such a deep AI catheter (300) causes minimal discomfort and risk of trauma, and does not require the services of a highly trained AI professional. First, a catheter (300) is inserted into the cervical tract of the animal. A membrane (410), initially positioned inside a tube section (420) of the catheter (300), is then extended from an opening (440) in the tube (420) and into the tract under pressure. The membrane (410) extends into the tract without friction thereby reducing the discomfort and the risk of trauma or injury to the animal. When the membrane (410) is fully extended into the tract, pressure causes the tip (418) of the membrane (410) to open thereby releasing the AI fluid and depositing the genetic material suspended in the fluid into the reproductive tract.  Deployment of the membrane (410) is facilitated by tapering its wall thickness towards its tip (418). In addition to AI and embryo transplant, other applications for the pathway include therapeutic, diagnostic, or other procedures such as introducing fluoroscopic cameras, instruments, and drug delivery.
