Title: Handheld electronic device having hidden sound openings offset from an audio source
Inventor: NOBELS JONATHAN
IPC: G06F1/16
Filed: 2007-04-25
Abstract: An improved handheld electronic device has a case with an elongated cavity formed therein. An audio transducer is in fluid communication with the cavity, and a number of sound openings are formed in the case and are in fluid communication with the cavity and with the; atmosphere surrounding the handheld electronic device. The sound openings are generally spaced from a central region of the audio transducer to space the sound openings generally farther from an edge of the case than the audio transducer. The cavity is configured to form a Helmholtz resonator that enables the communication of sound through the cavity between the audio transducer and the sound openings. The spacing of the sound openings from an edge of a case helps a user to form a seal between the case and the user's ear to enable sound from the sound openings to enter the ear and to be perceived by the user. In one embodiment, the sound openings face into a channel formed in the case, which enables the sound openings to be largely hidden from view and enable the sound openings to be spaced an even greater distance from the audio transducer.

Title: Dynamic endpoint aggregator for web services
Inventor: SHENFIELD MICHAEL
IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2007-06-05
Abstract: A dynamic endpoint aggregator aggregates dynamic endpoints of requested Web services for efficiently delivering the Web services to a Web service client. The client communicates to the aggregator a plurality of SOAP  requests each having a SOAP header containing a redirect URL  for the aggregator in turn to access each of the requested Web services. Web service data is aggregated by the aggregator and then efficiently communicated to the client, which is particularly useful when wireless clients access Web services because of the limited bandwidth available over the wireless link. The aggregator also handles dynamic endpoints by dynamically resetting all endpoints of requested Web services without burdening the wireless link.

Patent CA-2614995-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOTH GERGELY
IPC: G16B15/30
Filed: 2006-07-11
Abstract: A new approach to identifying binding conformations of chemical fragments and biological molecules is presented, in which fragment poses are explored in a systematic fashion. In an embodiment, for each pose, a fast computation is performed of the fragment interaction with the biological molecule using interpolation on a grid. Once the energies of fragment poses are computed, thermodynamical quantities such as binding affinity, binding enthalpy, and binding entropy are computed by direct sum over fragment poses. Using the present invention, it is possible to navigate fragment configuration space to identify separate binding modes. The present invention can be used to scan an entire biological molecule to identify possible binding pockets, or it can be used for localized explorations limited to interesting areas of known binding pockets.
