Title: Method and apparatus for secure distributed managed network information services with redundancy
Inventor: SIBBITT CHRIS
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2002-06-12
Abstract: Provided is a managed network service delivery system and method. The managed network service delivery system includes an IOC (Internetworking Operating Center) and a SCA (SAM (Security Activity Manager) Collector Agent) at at least one of a plurality of customer sites of a customer. The customer sites are connected to the IOC through a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or directly from a respective one of the SCAs to the IOC. The SCAs collect log and statistical information from equipment at a respective one of the customer sites and provide summary information to the IOC. The SCAs also perform queries regarding status of equipment and report to the IOC. The customer accesses reports from a web server at the IOC or through a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) connection at the SCAs. A redundant connection, through the PSTN, between a SCA and the IOC provides a robust system for management, monitoring and security of the customer sites.

Inventor: CLARKE STEPHEN R
IPC: C02F1/28
Filed: 2000-11-30
Abstract: A media is used to remove species from aqueous solutions, particularly in the treatment of water to enable it to be suitable for drinking. The media includes a material selected from the group consisting of zirconium hydroxide, titanium hydroxide, halfnium hydroxide and combinations thereof.

Patent CA-2396462-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOMP GUNTHER
IPC: H04K1/00
Filed: 2000-12-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for securely transmitting data by hiding in point-to-point and point-to-multi-point digital transmission systems. The data stream (DS) on the transmitter side is supplied to a modulation unit (MOD).  The modulation and coding parameters (MP) of the modulation method (MV) and of said modulation unit (MOD) can be changed in time. The modulation parameters (MP) are transmitted to a demodulator (DEM) by means of a secure channel (SK).  The electric transmission signal (ES) is situated at the output of the modulation unit (MOD). Said signal is transmitted by means of a channel (K).  The demodulator (DEM) that knows the hiding sequence regenerates the original signal and supplies the receiving data stream (DE) at the output.
Patent CA-2402818-A1 (CA)
Title: Stent with angulated struts
Inventor: FISCHELL TIM A
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2002-09-11
Abstract: The present invention uses sets of strut members where the most distal set of strut members is similar to that of most stents in that the plane of the distal set of strut members is perpendicular to the stent's longitudinal axis. The present invention has a multiplicity of circumferential sets of strut members, but only the distal set of strut members has its plane perpendicular to the stent's longitudinal axis. The more proximal sets of strut members are angulated, so that the plane of the most proximal set of strut members has a preset angle such as 30°, 45° or 60° relative to the stent's longitudinal axis. The stent could also be formed from or coated with a highly radiopaque material. Alternately, a radiopaque marker could be placed at the most proximal point of the angulated, side branch stent, for the stent has to be rotated by the clinician until the plane of the most proximal angulated set of strut members is situated to be approximately parallel to the plane of the ostium of the side branch. It is also envisioned to widen the diagonal sections of the most proximal circumferential set of strut members to increase their radiopacity as compared to the radiopacity of the more distal circumferential sets of strut members. This can assist the clinician who places the side branch stent to have it properly placed at the ostium of the side branch.

Title: Method for converting heavy oil residuum to a useful fuel
Inventor: WARCHOL EDWARD
IPC: C10L1/32
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: A method for enabling the use of heavy oil residuum by conversion to a useful product. The method, in one embodiment, involves the use of a heavy oil residuum which is substantially non flowable. The viscosity of the residuum is reduced by heat or a combination of heat and a diluent and subsequently mixed with water such that the mixing is high shear mixing. This results in the formation of an emulsion of predispersed residuum in an aqueous matrix. The emulsion is formed such that the aqueous matrix is in a size distribution suitable for use as a combustible fuel.

Title: Boot for universal joint
Inventor: IWANO KAZUHIRO
IPC: F16J3/04
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: A boot for a universal joint is constructed by a boot body and a boot adapter. The one end of the boot is fitted on a propeller inner shaft via its one-end fitting portion and the other end of the boot is fitted on the outer race of the universal joint via its other-end fitting portion, thereby substantially covering the universal joint. The foregoing one-end fitting portion has an annular lip portion at its end portion. Passages for flowing air are formed on the one-end fitting portion and its annular lip portion, respectively. The passages communicate with each other through an annular partial passage between both passages. The existence of the annular partial passage increases the flowing resistance of air between the inside and the outside of the boot to reduce the pressure fluctuation in the boot and to improve the effectiveness in preventing splashed water or muddy water from intruding into the boot along with the suction of air.

Title: Optical bodies containing cholesteric liquid crystal material and methods of manufacture
Inventor: WATSON PHILIP E
IPC: G02F1/1335
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: An optical body includes a substrate and a cholesteric liquid crystal layer disposed on the substrate. The cholesteric liquid crystal layer has a non-uniform pitch along a thickness direction of the layer and comprises a crosslinked polymer material that substantially fixes the cholesteric liquid crystal layer. The crosslinking hinders diffusion of cholesteric liquid crystal material within the cholesteric liquid crystal layer. In other methods of making an optical body, a reservoir of chiral material is provided during the process over a first cholesteric liquid crystal layer to diffuse into the layer and provide a non-uniform pitch. Alternatively, two coating compositions can be disposed on a substrate where the material of the first coating composition is not substantially soluble in the second coating composition.
