Inventor: DESORCIE JAMES L
IPC: C08L83/06
Filed: 1995-02-02
Abstract: A structure comprising bodies having a functional surface property bonded to a substrate via a siloxane polymer adhesive. The structure may comprise a novel composition comprising a siloxane polymer having carbon bodies bonded thereto by direct carbon to silicon bonds. This composition may be used to bond carbon particles through a medium comprising the siloxane polymer to a vitreous, metal, plastic or other nucleophilic substrate. Alternatively, the bodies may comprise alumina, silicon, zeolite, organic polymers or other nucleophilic compositions, which are bonded directly to silicon atoms of the siloxane polymer. To bond carbon or other nucleophilic bodies to the substrate, the substrate is contacted with a mixture of the bodies and a hydrosiloxane polymer. The mixture is heated to cause the polymer to be bonded to the nucleophilic bodies, typically by C-Si. C-O-Si. Si-O-Si or Si-O-Al bonds. and to the substrate by reaction with the surface silanol or other nucleophilic groups.      Chromatographic methods using a column comprising the novel composition are also disclosed.

Title: Stream processing node
Inventor: PILLAR JOHN F
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: In a stream processing node, a producer of properly ordered portions of a data stream, hereinafter referred to as substreams, is coupled to a stream fabric that is further coupled to a series of potential consumers for the data stream, one of the potential consumers being a content processing element. The producer outputs the substreams to a stream queue that is associated with the data stream within the stream fabric. Subsequently, a portion of the data within the stream queue is copied and analysed by the content processing element which determines what further actions are to be taken with respect to the data within the particular stream queue. These actions could include copying a further portion of the data within the stream queue to the content processing element for further analysis; redirecting the data within the stream queue to another consumer of the data stream, such as another processing element or an interface with a packet switched network; modifying a portion of the data within the stream queue; and/or transferring a portion of the data within the stream queue to another stream queue.

Patent CA-2379613-A1 (CA)
Title: Location and event triggered notification services
Inventor: BRESCIA PAUL T
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: The present invention provides for delivering information, such as a notification or other content, to a select communication device when defined event and location criteria are satisfied. A profile is established to define the event and location criteria along with a method for delivering the information.      Typically, the receipt of event indicia indicating the occurrence of an event is compared with the event criteria in the profile. When the event indicia satisfies the event criteria, location indicia is gathered and compared with the defined location criteria.      Alternatively, a trigger corresponding to location is received and compared with the location criteria before determining whether an event corresponding to the event criteria is satisfied. When both the event occurrence and location indicia match the event and location criteria, the information is sent to the appropriate communication device.
Patent CA-2381167-A1 (CA)
Title: Intermodulation product cancellation circuit
Inventor: RZYSKI EUGENE
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2000-07-24
Abstract: A cancellation circuit is provided for canceling undesirable intermodulation  (IM) products in electrical circuitry. The IM cancellation circuit includes a stepping spectrum analyzer which recognizes and measures the frequencies and  amplitudes of different signal components of an RF signal across a desired frequency band. This information is forwarded to a processor which contains look-up tables or the like which provides information relating to the frequencies and/or amplitudes of signal components which are intended to reside in the RF signal. By comparison of the look-up tables to the frequencies and amplitudes measured and recognized by the sweeping spectrum analyzer, the processor of the cancellation circuit is able to determine whether the signal components in the RF signal are intended "information" carrying signals or unintended IM products. Where the processor has determin ed that a signal component is an unintended IM product, the processor controls a variable voltage controlled oscillator and variable amplifier to create a cancellation signal having an identical frequency and amplitude as the frequency and amplitude of the IM product. A phase shifter is provided to shift the phase of the cancellation signal 180~ with respect to the IM produ ct and the cancellation signal is combined with the RF signal to produce an output signal having the IM product canceled.

Title: Push-pull root air-pruning tray and container systems
Inventor: HUANG BARNEY K
IPC: A01G9/10
Filed: 2002-06-05
Abstract: The present invention entails a plant/seedling/cutting/plug growing tray and container system that includes a tray with a plurality of individual plant cells and container with each cell and container having an open top and bottom and a detachable screen bottom, and that allows plant removal either from the open bottom of the tray/container or open top of the tray/container. As plant roots emerge through an open-bottom tray or container supported above ground, the roots shrivel due to contacting dry air and temporarily suspend their growth. This bare-root growth phenomenon is known as air pruning. Proper application of root air-pruning process in conjunction with the use of properly shaped tray-cells and containers (small at the top and gradually getting larger at the bottom) significantly increases plant production, improves crop quality and promotes mechanization. Air pruning alone without the right tray and container will not provide these benefits. The present invention which utilizes computer optimization techniques to determine the proper inner sidewall angle of tray-cells and containers also allows air-pruned plants to be manually or automatically removed from the open tops of tray-cells and containers. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the plant container consists of more than one piece of sidewalls which can be put together to form a plant container. In addition, the detachable screen is provided with a series of projecting legs designed for self-supporting so as to detachably secure the screen into the plant tray and container structure to facilitate root air pruning.

Title: Process for purification of low grade sugar syrups using nanofiltration
Inventor: HLAVACEK MARC
IPC: C13B20/16
Filed: 2000-11-13
Abstract: A nanofiltration process for obtaining sucrose uses a feed syrup, such as molasses, that comprises sucrose and no less than about 2 % by weight invert sugars (on a dry solids basis). The nanofiltration produces a permeate and retentate. The nanofiltration permeate will comprise invert sugars that have passed from the feed through the nanofiltration membrane, and preferably will also comprise ash from the feed. The nanofiltration retentate has a higher concentration of sucrose and a lower concentration of invert sugars than the feed syrup. Sucrose can then be crystallized from the nanofiltration retentate. The reduction of the invert content in the syrup facilitates crystallization and thus enhances sucrose recovery.

Abstract: Appareil (10) de décontamination d'eaux souterraines contaminées in situ, par augmentation de la quantité d'oxygène dissous dans l'eau souterraine contaminée et génération d'initiateurs réactifs pour remédier à l'eau souterraine contaminée. L'appareil comprend une pompe submersible (330), une cellule électrolytique (334) et une chambre de distribution (336) reliée à une sortie de la cellule. La chambre de distribution est orientée verticalement et s'étend longitudinalement à partir de la sortie de la cellule. Du fait que l'eau souterraine s'écoule à travers les plaques de chargement de la cellule, un certain nombre de molécules se scindent en leurs constituants hydrogène gazeux et oxygène gazeux. Une longueur verticale sélectionnée de la chambre procure un temps de séjour pour le fluide, ce qui permet que la majeure partie de l'oxygène gazeux passe à l'état d'oxygène dissous.
