Title: Method and apparatus for validation and error resolution of configuration data in a private branch exchange switch
Inventor: BROWN DEBORAH J
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2005-04-04
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for validating configuration data in a switch. An error is detected if the configuration data fails to comply with one or more rules; and a user is presented with an interface that allows the user to correct the error. The rules may include one or more syntactic rules or conflict rules (or both). In the case of a simple error, the user is presented with an error indication with a smart error link. In the case of a conflict error, the user is presented with an error indication that identifies the conflicting endpoints and optionally allows the user to correct at least one conflicting endpoint. The configuration data is revalidated after a change is made by a user. Changes are propagated to affected data objects. A number of error types may be automatically updated. When an objects inherit properties through application of a template to the data object, a list is maintained of the data objects associated with each template, so that the associated data objects can be updated if the template is updated. Errors information can be presented to the user in a hierarchical error tree. The user can select errors from the tree to be corrected. The error tree can optionally be redisplayed following a change by validating only affected elements.
Patent CA-2503891-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRETON PIERRE-ALBERT
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2003-10-14
Abstract: The invention relates to image-processing devices which can be used to identify, process and select discreet light sources present in a video image made up of pixels. The aim of the invention is to present the user with a processed image in real time, thereby enabling improved recognition of light sources in a poor contrast image. In the field of aeronautics, the inventive device constitutes a landing aid by allowing improved recognition of runway lights in poor visibility conditions, such as fog. The invention is based on three major principles: (i) the main image processing operations are only performed on a small number of pixels with a level greater than a threshold, (ii) a plausibility estimator assesses the probability of sources existing in the image and (iii) the threshold is variable according to a certain number of image parameters.

Title: Method and device for transporting or binding-specific separation of electrically charged molecules
Inventor: BARLAG HEIKE
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2003-11-28
Abstract: Electrically charged molecules need to be transported in order to create a D NA sensor. According to the invention, the following measures are undertaken: base metals are introduced into a solution as a positive ion; negatively charged molecules are transported in an opposite direction and are enriched in the vicinity of the measuring electrodes. Binding-specific separation of the charged molecules can be achieved by forming metal layers on the measuring electrodes by depositing metal ions from the solution when a suitable potential is selected. Target DNA can more particularly be introduced into t he vicinity of catcher molecules on the measuring electrodes and non-specifical ly bound DNA can be removed. According to the associated device, the electrode arrangement (20,30) is associated with a sacrificial electrode (40) made of a more base metal than the material of the measuring electrodes (20,30). The measuring electrodes (20,30) in particular are made of noble metal, preferab ly gold, and the sacrificial electrode (40) is made of copper.

Title: Tractor with hydraulic speed and steering control for steering at maximum speed
Inventor: DUNN JAMES THOMAS
IPC: A01B69/00
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: A tractor has hydraulically driven wheels at a cab end and castor wheels at an engine end. It can be driven cab forward in a working mode with a header on the forward end. It is rotated to engine forward in the transport position for more stable higher speed travel, The driven wheels are driven by hydraulic motors each having their own drive pump the output of which is controlled by a cam plate. The speed control is effected by a manually operable lever through a servo-cylinder which locates a speed control arm moving both cam plates to the set position, In a maximum speed position both cam plates are engaged against a stop. The steering is effected by moving the cam plates differentially to drive the wheels at different speeds. The piston rod of the servo-cylinder includes a spring relief so that the speed control arm can back off from the maximum position by moving the servo-cylinder body when steering in the maximum speed position.

Abstract: A high throughput screening and isolation system identifies rare enhancer mixtures from a candidate pool of penetration enhancer combinations. The combinations are screened for high penetration but low irritation potential using a unique data mining method to find new potent and safe chemical penetration enhancer combinations. The members of a library of chemical penetration enhancer combinations are screened with a high throughput device to identify "hot spots", particular combinations that show higher chemical penetration enhancement compared to neighboring compositions. The irritation potentials of the hot spot combinations are measured to identify combinations that also show low irritation potential. A active component, such as a drug, is then combined with the combination in a formulation which is tested for the ability of the drug to penetrate into or through skin. It is then assessed whether the formulation can deliver the quantity of drug required, and animal tests are conducted to confirm in vivo the ability of the chemical penetration enhancer combinations to facilitate transport of sufficient active molecules across the skin to achieve therapeutic levels of the active molecule in the animal's blood. The invention provides specific unique and rare mixtures of chemical penetration enhancers that enhance skin permeability to hydrophilic macromolecules by more than 50-fold without inducing skin irritation, such as combinations of sodium laurel ether sulfate and 1-phenyl piperazine, and combinations of N-lauryl sarcosine and Span 20/sorbitan monolaurate.
