Patent CA-2393810-A1 (CA)
Title: Downdraft filter assembly for a cooking appliance
Inventor: PICKERING MARK A
IPC: F24C15/20
Filed: 2002-07-16
Abstract: A filtering system for a downdraft cooking appliance includes a filter assembly arranged directly below an air grill leading to a venting plenum. The filter assembly includes a liner which supports a filter element and is removably positioned inside the plenum. The filter element can be arranged inside the liner, attached thereto or insert molded into the liner material. The liner is preferably suspended from the air grill so as to be readily removable in unison with the grill for inspection, cleaning or replacement. In a preferred embodiment, the liner is formed with opposing, outwardly projecting flanges which slide into mating channels formed into the underside of the grill. With this arrangement, exposure of the wall surfaces of the plenum to the cooking byproducts is minimized, thereby greatly reducing any necessary cleaning of these surfaces.

Title: Protein threading by linear programming
Inventor: LI MING
IPC: G16B15/00
Filed: 2003-01-02
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to biotechnology and information technology, and in particular, to a subfield known as bioinformatics. A specific aspect of the invention lies in the provision of a new method and system for predicting the three-dimensional structure of proteins. The main focus in this patent application is on the development of a globally optimal and practically efficient threading algorithm based on an alignment model incorporating pairwise interaction preferences explicitly, and allowing variable gaps by using an integer programming approach. Integer programming formulation can fully exploit the abovementioned special features of the pairwise interaction preferences. It allows one to use the existing powerful linear programming packages together with a branch and bound algorithm to rapidly arrive at the optimal alignment. This is the first time that integer programming and linear programming has been applied to protein threading.

Title: Peritoneal dialysis catheters
Inventor: DEL CASTILLO JORGE
IPC: A61M1/28
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: A catheter suitable for use in performing peritoneal dialysis. The catheter is a dual lumen catheter which allows for continuous flow peritoneal dialysis.  Dialysate flows through the catheter into the patient via one lumen and simultaneously flows through the catheter out of the patient via the second lumen. The dual lumen dialysis catheter has a flexible tube which has an implantable portion extending from an external patient portion. Both of the lumens have openings in the external patient portion for connecting to a supply and drain of dialysate, respectively. The implantable portion has a preformed curved segment which has an outlet for the first lumen to flow dialysate into the patient's peritoneal cavity. The implantable portion has an opening for the second lumen at the distal end to flow dialysate out of the peritoneal cavity and removal from the patient. The catheter facilitates mixing of fresh and spent dialysate inside the peritoneal cavity by inflowing fresh dialysate into the cavity at a location substantially separated from the cavity outflow location, and by directing the inflow of dialysate into the cavity opposite the cavity outflow location.

Title: Aerosol colorant charging system and method
Inventor: OWENS EDWARD
IPC: B01F15/00
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) for custom blending spray paints. A customer provides a sample (S) of a color to be matched. The sample is tested on a spectrophotometer to determine the colors needed to match the sample; or if the paint formula is known, it is entered into the apparatus. A computer control (16) causes metered quantities of each colorant to be pumped from a reservoir (50) to a manifold (68). From the manifold, paint is injected through a filling head (46) into a discharge valve (V) and dip tube (P) of a precharged aerosol container (C) to be filled. Solvent from a tank (74) is used between a final injection of colorant to flush out the manifold and a dip tube (P) of the container. After the colors have been injected into the container, the container is shaken so that the colors intermix with each other to produce a paint of the desired custom color which is readily sprayed from the container.

Patent CA-2436836-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAM WILSON
IPC: H04N7/15
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: A unified architecture for a multipoint VC session and interactive broadcasting system is provided that includes a server, one or more video accessing points, reflectors and client machines. The server sets up the video communication sessions (VC sessions), each of which is hosted by one video accessing point. The server downloads the A/V client software to client machines. Reflectors direct audio/visual signals to client machines. The reflectors are coupled to the video accessing point and receive a control signal from the video accessing point in order to direct the A/V signals from the client machines participating in the VC session. The client machines process all of the A/V signals. This system for distributing the VC session tasks across these components reduces any bottleneck effect from using a single, central control point to direct the VC session and route the A/V  signals. The server, also, serves as a ticket agent, and is configured to issue and redeem tickets for specific VC sessions and broadcasts through the use of a session booking module. Finally, the downloading process of the A/V  client software prevents software incompatibility among participants and enables low storage devices such as handheld devices to participate.
