Inventor: MENON RAGHUNATH GOPAL
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2003-04-16
Abstract: The invention focuses on distributing the vapor/liquid flow that emerges from an inlet nozzle (23) across the tube sheet (24b) of an alkylation reactor or heat exchanger. The flow distributor (50) takes the two-phase flow that emerges from the inlet nozzle (23), turns it towards the tubesheet (4b) and delivers a uniform mixture across the tube sheet (24b). The flow distributor (50) is located in the channel head (24) of the reactor or heat exchanger. In order to dislodge the liquid film from the wall of the inlet nozzle (23), trip rings (52) and angular trip tabs are located internally in the flow distributor (50).

Title: Survival tower
Inventor: DESROSIERS GILLES
IPC: A62B1/20
Filed: 2004-12-08
Abstract: A survival tower for use in an emergency inside a building provides improved control of traffic inside an emergency chute as well as a new management for smoke and flames. While sliding down the chute, users are temporarily slowed down or decelerated whenever they approach a lower chute entrance being used by another user, to leave enough time for the entering user to safely engage the chute. At the lower end of the chute, the users are gradually slowed down for a smooth finish of their downward traversal of the slide. The tower can be built inside or outside the building walls.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting compressor stall precursors
Inventor: KANDE MALLIKARJUN SHIVARAYA
IPC: F04D27/00
Filed: 2004-12-16
Abstract: A method of detecting onset of a gas turbine condition, such as compressor stall, includes receiving data (e.g., 42) indicative of an operating parameter of a compressor of the gas turbine. The method also includes performing a wavelet transformation (e.g., 44) on the data to generate wavelet transformed data (e.g., 48, 50).  The wavelet transformation is configured to affect a processing characteristic regarding a performance of the wavelet transformation. Features indicative of onset of the gas turbine condition in the wavelet transformed data are then identified to provide an indication for controlling the gas turbine to prevent compressor stall from occurring. A system (10) for detecting onset of compressor stall in a gas turbine (24) includes a sensor (18) for providing data (e.g., 20) indicative of an operating parameter of the compressor and a processor (e.g., 14) for performing a wavelet transform on the data to identify features of the optimized wavelet transformed data indicative of onset of stall.

Patent CA-2491628-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PIRKEY ROGER
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2003-07-01
Abstract: In accordance with an aspect of providing trust and authentication for network communications and transactions, a network infrastructure is provided that employs biometric private keys (BioPKI). Generally, BioPKI is a unique combination of two software solutions that validate electronic user authentication: a state-of-the-art biometric signature system, and a digital signature for data integrity. The combined solution allows networked businesses and merchants such as financial institutions to ensure that user authentication is conducted in a trusted, secure fashion within standard network environments. In one example implementation, a biometric signature augments standard digital signatures by adding an automated, non-reputable user authentication capability to the existing digital signature process. In contrast to simple verification in a pure biometric-based system or digital signature/certificate environment, BioPKI uses a combination of biometric technology to access private keys in order to create digital signatures based on biometric authentication and industry-standard PKI technologies.

Title: Coaxial catheter instruments for ablation with radiant energy
Inventor: ARNOLD JEFFREY M
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 2004-02-03
Abstract: Ablation methods and instruments are disclosed for creating lesions in tissue, especially cardiac tissue for treatment of arrhythmias and the like.  Percutaneous ablation instruments in the form of coaxial catheter bodies are disclosed having at least one central lumen therein and having one or more balloon structures at the distal end region of the instrument. The instruments include an energy emitting element which is independently positionable within the lumen of the instrument and adapted to project radiant energy through a transmissive region of a projection balloon to a target tissue site. An ablative fluid can also be employed outside of the instrument to ensure efficient transmission of the radiant energy when the instrument is deployed.  In another aspect of the invention, mechanisms are disclosed for determining whether the instrument has been properly seated within the heart. This contact-sensing feature can be implemented by an illumination source situated within the instrument and an optical detector that monitors the level of reflected light. Measurements of the reflected light can thus be used to determine whether contact has been achieved and whether such contact is continuous over a desired ablation path.

Abstract: A method to enable dynamic configuration of gaming terminals installed in one or a plurality of gaming premises whereby certified games (Figure 13, 1315), certified data files and certified support software components are activated in accordance with a predetermined schedule or automatically in response to the observed gaming activity. The method may include allocating an individual PKI certificate to each executable software component and each of its versions, binding the PKI certificate to the executable software (Figure 13, 1315 and 1340), associating a distinctive policy for each certificate and then enforcing the software execution policies in accordance with the desired authorized game configuration and schedule. The PKI certificate's "Subject Name" for "Issued to" field or "CommonName" field) may be a concatenation of the software component identification, its version number and optionally other identification characters. The method applies equally to other network connected gaming subsystems. The method enables a fine-grained and secure control of the authorized software components and thus the flexibility to securely configure the gaming system in accordance with a schedule or in a close-loop fashion in order to meet business objectives (Figure 13, 1377, 1378, and 1376). In addition, a method to enable the certification authority to bind the certificates to the tested code is described.

Abstract: Sample mounts (10) for mounting microcrystals of biological macromolecules f or X-ray crystallography are prepared by using patterned thin polyimide films (12) that have curvature imparted thereto, for example, by being attached to a curved outer surface of a small metal rod (16). The patterned film (12) preferably includes a tapered tip end (24) for holding a crystal. Preferably , a small sample aperture is disposed in the film for reception of the crystal . A second, larger aperture can also be provided that is connected to the samp le aperture by a drainage channel, allowing removal of excess liquid and easier manipulation in viscous solutions. The curvature imparted to the film (12) increases the film's rigidity and allows a convenient scoop-like action for retrieving crystals. The polyimide contributes minimally to background and absorption, and can be treated to obtain desired hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity.
