Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for generating Alfvén waves, in which ionizable material is provided that penetrates a magnetic field. In order to create such a method or a device in which material can be conveyed based on the Alfvén waves, the magnetic field consists of a primary magnetic field that is periodically deformed by at least one oscillating secondary magnetic field that is polarized in the opposite direction from the primary field such that Alfvén waves are created in the ionizable material located in said magnetic field. The Alfvén waves propagate at a speed that depends on the density of the material penetrating the magnetic field and the field intensity of the magnetic field. The field intensity of the magnetic field is greater than the kinetic energy of the material located in the magnetic field such that material is conveyed by means of the Alfvén waves.

Abstract: A method is provided for the continuous production of treated waters using a staged, tapered array membrane plant (1) by a process of process logic controlled (PLC) (12) stage isolation and washing concurrent with continued operation of all other stages of the plant (1). These are sensors that supply the PLC (12) with data required to identify location and degree of fouling of stages (2), (3), (4); when a stage (2, 3, 4) is fouled the PLC (12) commands initiation of a sequence of automated valve openings (7, 27-32) and closings to a) remove the fouled stage from feed water service, b) flush and wash the stage, and c) return the stage to service. Optionally, a feed water pump (6) produces varying amounts of membrane process permeate during the treatment of fouling.

Patent CA-2543937-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROGER JESSEY
IPC: A47L9/10
Filed: 2006-04-20
Abstract: The present invention consists of a system directly related to vacuum cleaners, but the JR Dust Clean Vacuum Cleaner is designed to filter the micro-dust that escapes from the bag with the air. JR Dust Clean Vacuum Cleaner Model R1 has a moisturized filter; the R2, instead of the moisturized filter, has a dry filter and a dust collector tank, but the remainder is the same. The inlet turbine will suck the dirt into the vacuum cleaner bag Zone 1 where the air will escape into Zone 2. At the same time, the micro-dust will also escape with the air into Zone 2. The exhaust turbine sucks the dust content air in Zone 2; hence, the dust content air will travel through the dust collector pipes. On the Model R1, the air will go through the moisturized filter, depositing the dust, and the dust-free fresh air will travel through the exhaust pipe then out through the exhaust turbine. On Model R2, the dust content air will travel through the dust collector pipes then through the dust collector main pipe, then through the small "L"  type pipes, then hit the water dumping the dust into the water in the compartment one.  Then travels up to get into the small "L" type pipes in the compartment two, then hits the water. In the Model R2, the air gets purified four times, then it travels through the transfer pipe, then through the dry filter where all the moisture will be trapped, then the dust-free dry air will travel through the exhaust pipe and out through the turbine.

Title: Base station based methods and apparatus for supporting break before make handoffs in a multi-carrier system
Inventor: LAROIA RAJIV
IPC: H04W36/06
Filed: 2004-10-15
Abstract: A mobile communications device initiates a handoff from its current base station (BS) sector network attachment point to a new BS sector. The mobile sends a handoff request over its current wireless link to the current BS  sector, which forwards the request to the new BS sector, e.g., via a network link. The new BS sector processes the request assigning dedicated resources, e.g., an identifier and dedicated resources, e.g. an identifier and dedicated uplink segments. Information identifying the allocated resources is conveyed from the new BS sector via the current BS sector to the mobile. The mobile determines the time of the allocated dedicated segments based upon a received beacon signal from the new BS sector with known timing relationships to dedicated segments. The mobile breaks the original wireless link just prior to the time of the first assigned dedicated segment. The mobile communicates information on the assigned dedicated segments to perform registration operations, e.g., timing synchronization and power control, establishing a new wireless link.

Title: Separate trading of registered interest and principal of securities system, method and computer program product
Inventor: ARNOTT ROBERT D
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-02-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for investing is set forth. Taking the present value of a future liability as the starting point, interest bearing securities or derivatives may be purchased that may have a duration less than that of the future liability, but are purchased in sufficient multiples of so that the duration of the investment, times the multiple, equals the duration of the future liability. The securities or derivatives of less duration will in almost all cases have associated interest rates that are less than that of a similar security or derivative whose duration matches that of the future liabilities. As duration decreases for the available securities or derivatives, interest rates of each will also decrease, but not as rapidly the rate of decrease in duration. By using leverage, securities or derivatives can be purchased in amounts such that the duration of the investment will match that of the future liabilities, but the total amount of interest available from the leveraged investment will exceed that for a similar instrument whose duration matches that of the future liabilities.

Patent CA-2562945-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RICHARD GABRIELLE
IPC: C12Q1/50
Filed: 2006-10-05
Abstract: The invention discloses a novel approach for the determination of target molecules in a mixture through the use of an oscillating system. The oscillating system is stimulated by the enzyme horseradish peroxidase with oxygen as the oscillating substrate.  Differences in the activity or concentration of peroxidase present in the reaction can be reliably and sensitively measured with a resolution of 5 nM (peroxidase concentration).  Biotinylated peroxidase can be substituted for non-biotinylated peroxidase and the sensitivity of this system is maintained at the same 5 nM level. The stimulation of the system can be modulated through a second factor through the addition of streptavidin, and the binding of this molecule to the biotin labeled peroxidase. The binding of streptavidin to biotinylated peroxidase provides a bridge between peroxidase activity and the concentration of any specified target molecule.
