Patent CA-2691397-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NATH GOURABMOY
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2008-06-05
Abstract: A computerized travel system and a method for providing advices and warnings per travel destination to end-users of the travel system are described.  System of the invention has a client service module aimed at receiving queries from the end-users, and at delivering to them merged reports of travel advices and warnings for the queried travel destinations. A download and parsing module is used to parse travel raw documents, downloaded from a plurality of online reliable travel sources, into cleaned raw documents sharing a common formatting structure including sections, sections headers and paragraphs. An algorithmic module integrates the cleaned raw documents into the merged reports of travel advices and warnings per travel destination. The integration of the cleaned raw documents into merged reports is performed from a base document chosen among all the relevant clean raw documents for each queried travel destination. Comparable sections are determined on the basis of contents of their section headers and semantically close paragraphs are placed next to each other in the corresponding sections of the merged reports.

Abstract: A medical article, such as a catheter, is formed from a blend of polyurethane and synthetic polyisoprene (SPIR).  The blended medical article is preferably selected and prepared to be relatively rigid at room temperature and relatively flexible at body temperature. An intermittent catheter made from the blend provides a degree of stiffness for its insertion into the patient at room temperature. The catheter becomes softer, and therefore more comfortable, at warmer temperatures (e.g., body temperature) which reduce discomfort after insertion. Optionally, the catheter or a portion thereof can have a hydrophilic coating as to avoid the need for external lubricants. Advantageously, the blended catheter can meet the stiffness, tensile strength, and coefficient of fric-tion requirements of intermittent catheterization applications while avoiding the risk of toxic or allergic reactions in sensitive users.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing inter-set miscommunication while maintaining robust signalling in a noisy environment includes providing a controller and a set of devices, the set of devices having a unique set ID and communicating with said controller.  The set of devices communicates with said controller by transmitting and receiving messages to and from the controller respectively via an electrically noisy transmission medium. The messages include: (a) inquiries from the controller to the set of devices inquiring as to whether each device either doesn't need attention or does need attention from the controller; and, (b) responses to the controller from each device as to whether each device needs attention or doesn't need the attention of controller. Each device transmits its own responses, once and in a "look-back" embodiment repeatedly receives the responses of other devices and stores those responses of the other devices in a look-back record in its message. The attention segment of the messages includes the doesn't-need-attention or does-need-attention-of-the-controller for each device and for those devices transmitting before each particular device and received by that device. The device ID has been incorporated into the error check segment.  Each device is adapted to, using the set ID, make the error check segment set ID dependant.

Abstract: A snorkel and pad for use with a formation testing tool is formed with a cylindrical geometry at the interface where the snorkel and pad contacts the inner surface of a borehole.  The cylindrical geometry reduces or eliminates gaps that a flat interface surface would leave between the snorkel and the inner surface of the borehole, reducing the possibility that a surrounding pad could extrude through the gap. The snorkel is prevented from rotating during operation, ensuring the correct orientation of the cylindrical geometry interface surface relative to the inner surface of the borehole. The snorkel may be used as part of a formation testing system.
