Patent CA-2302307-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DE KERDREL OLIVIER
IPC: G06Q30/04
Filed: 1999-07-26
Abstract: The above objects can be attained by a system that creates system-created events at an optimal time independent of the billing process, and performs a continuous pricing process so that as events become available to the system they can be priced and summarized in real-time, allowing the billing process to be performed more efficiently. Usage and one-time events become available for pricing as soon as they are delivered to the system. System-created events, such as recurring, minimum charge summary, and maximum charge summary events, are created by the system based on a schedule defined by a subscription to which a customer has subscribed. Charges for events are re-calculated, if necessary, when information in the system, which impacts the charge of an event, changes.  On demand pricing is performed when a charge for summary event, such as, a tiered discount plan summary, minimum charge summary, or maximum charge summary, is to be displayed or billed.

Abstract: Les éléments cibles d'une demande de recherche sont sélectionnés par référence à des éléments ou à des listes contenus dans un structure de données appelée module de topogramme mémoire. Chaque élément cible est préalablement validé par comparaison avec des données existant dans une base de données (en rapport avec ledit module). Le module de topogramme mémoire comporte un index de données, ainsi que des informations de relations entre les données. On y recherche des listes concernant des éléments cibles de la demande de recherche. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation, la recherche se fait par calcul d'une référence de plage au moyen d'une première table d'informations relationnelles. Une plage est calculée au moyen de la référence de plage par rapport à une seconde table d'informations relationnelles. La plage est utilisée pour rechercher des listes dans l'index. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, chaque instance de l'élément cible est recherchée dans un espace de chaînes de caractères des informations relationnelles. Un écart par rapport à l'instance est calculé, topographié et renvoyé à une liste d'appariement contenue dans l'index. Pour chaque instance des éléments cibles, une liste d'appariement est ajoutée aux listes correspondantes. Une intersection entre les listes est déterminée pour chaque élément cible. Les listes contenues dans l'intersection sont disposées en fonction d'un ordre d'affichage, qui peut être prédéterminé ou aléatoire. Les listes contenues dans l'intersection sont affichées sous forme d'informations de listes en rapport avec la demande de recherche. Des informations supplémentaires concernant une liste peuvent être trouvées par une recherche serrée et rapide dans la base de données.

Title: Synergistic antimicrobial compositions
Inventor: GOODMAN THOMAS C
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: Novel antimicrobial compositions and strategy to combat bacterial resistance in a variety of bacterial strains are disclosed. The antimicrobial compositions comprise a combination of mitomycin C, or other reductively activated compounds, and ABPI and/or imino-ABPI. The unique strategy involves exposing microorganisms to a first antimicrobial agent, such as mitomycin C, which can induce the expression of at least one protein which confers resistance to mitomycin C, i.e., inactivates mitomycin C. Simultaneously or soon thereafter, the microorganisms are exposed to a second antimicrobial agent, such as ABPI and/or imino-APBI, which is activated by the same protein which inactivates the first antimicrobial agent.

Patent CA-2338029-A1 (CA)
Title: Frequency tuning optical device
Inventor: CHANG KOK-WAI
IPC: G02B27/28
Filed: 2001-02-26
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for tuning optical devices are described. Optical devices can be tuned by inserting tuning plates into the optical path(s) of the devices.  Tuning plates can be, for example, quartz plates. By selecting the appropriate thickness and optical axis orientation, the tuning plate can be used to tune the optical devices to precision that is unavailable through manufacturing specifications and tolerances of the components of the optical device alone. Because quartz has a relatively small birefringence, tuning plates made with quartz can be thicker, and therefore manufactured more precisely than the components of the optical devices.

Title: Method for unstacking sheets stacked in a feeder
Inventor: LAROCHE FRANCIS
IPC: B65H3/08
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for unstacking sheets stacked in a feeder, comprising a step which consists in bringing a vacuum cup close to the surface of the sheet at the top of the stack; a step which consists in contacting the vacuum cup with the surface of said top sheet and a step in bringing the vacuum cup away after seizing the top sheet. The invention is characterized in that the vacuum cup is applied in an off-center zone of the top sheet, and said vacuum cup is inclined, when it starts to move away, so as to cause the top sheet to be deformed thereby producing a separation prior to complete separation of the top sheet.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for processing an output signal of an image sensor pixel in a manner that will substantially avoid fixed pattern noise contributed by the readout circuitry. The method comprises applying a reference voltage VREF to first and second capacitor elements that are coupled together at a common terminal, applying a first sample signal VS1 from the image sensor pixel to the first capacitor element placing a charge on it, transferring the charge from the first capacitor element to the second capacitor element, applying a second sample signal Vs2 from the image sensor pixel to the first capacitor element placing a charge on it, and transferring the charge from the second capacitor element to the first capacitor element so as to provide an output signal that is a function of the difference between the second sample signal Vs2 and the first sample signal Vs1. In particular Vo = Vs2 - Vs1 + VREF. The readout circuitry comprises a first capacitor element having first and second terminals, a second capacitor element having first and second terminals, an amplifier having an input terminal and an output terminal with the input terminal connected to the second terminals of the first and second capacitor elements.   The readout circuitry further includes a first switch adapted to be connected between a reference voltage and the first terminal of the first capacitor element, a second switch adapted to be connected between a pixel and the first terminal of the first capacitor element, a third switch adapted to be connected between a reference voltage and the first terminal of the second capacitor element, a fourth switch connected between the amplifier input terminal and the output terminal, a fifth switch connected between the second terminal of the second capacitor element and the amplifier output terminal, and a sixth switch connected between the first terminal of the first capacitor element and the amplifier output terminal. The readout circuitry also includes a controller for controlling the first to sixth switches. The amplifier may be a CMOS  operational amplifier with a reference terminal for connection to a reference voltage and all of the switches may be CMOS transistors.
