Patent CA-2343781-A1 (CA)
Title: Systems and components for enhancing rear vision from a vehicle
Inventor: STAM JOSEPH S
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 1999-08-24
Abstract: A vehicle system is disclosed that includes a vehicle lamp assembly including a plurality of LEDs that emit white light so as to function as an illuminator light. The lamp assembly also may include a plurality of LEDs that emit colored light, such as red or red-orange, so as to function as a signal light. Alternatively or additionally, the lamp assembly may include a camera of a vehicle imaging system. The lamp assembly may serve as a center high mounted stop light or as a tail light. The system also includes a controller that rapidly pulses the LEDs on and off at a rate that is imperceivable by the human eye. The pulsing intervals of the LEDs may be related to the readout intervals of the camera sensor array. In this manner, the LEDs may be pulsed on during camera readout so as to increase their intensity while the camera is capturing an image, or may be pulsed off during camera readout to prevent feedback glare from interfering with image capture by a highly sensitive image sensor array on the camera.

Patent CA-2352445-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SNODDY DAVID E
IPC: B41J5/30
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: The present invention proposes a printing system whereby a supply of sufficient data is assured to the print engine so that the print engine can run continuously and efficiently. The printing system has at least one marking engine capable of printing an image on a media as a transport moves the media past the marking engine. Buffers or sets of buffers hold completely raster image processed pages and interface logic transfers the buffered pages to the marking engine to transfer the image to the media. Buffer management logic controls the buffers so that as the printing system accumulates slack time left over from raster image processing non-complex pages, the slack time is allocated to complex pages to optimize average raster image processing time with speed of the print engine.

Title: Systeme de gestion d'air pour accumulateur metal-air utilisant une membrane ou un soufflet
Inventor: WITZIGREUTER JOHN D
IPC: H01M6/50
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de gestion d'air pour accumulateur métal-air, utilisant une membrane ou un soufflet pour faire entrer l'air dans une ou plusieurs ouvertures, pour le faire sortir par lesdites ouvertures ou pour le faire passer d'une entrée vers une sortie. La membrane ou le soufflet effectuent un mouvement de va-et-vient au moyen d'un actionneur linéaire, tel qu'un oscillateur électromagnétique, ou un alliage à mémoire de forme. On peut utiliser des micromachines telles que des microrelais comme actionneurs. L'accumulateur peut comprendre un ou plusieurs passages d'air, de préférence un passage isolant tel qu'un tube mince allongé, de façon à empêcher un écoulement d'air vers l'électrode à air lorsque le dispositif de déplacement d'air ne fonctionne pas, même pendant que le tube n'est pas hermétique. On obtient ainsi un dispositif de déplacement d'air perfectionné pour accumulateur métal-air, qui occupe un volume réduit du volume disponible pour la composition chimique de l'accumulateur, utilisable dans des systèmes évolués afin d'isoler les électrodes à air lorsque l'alimentation ne vient pas de l'accumulateur métal-air, et capable de développer une pression élevée pour un déplacement d'air très rapide, à un taux de consommation de puissance relativement bas. L'invention concerne également des accumulateurs en prisme ou en cylindre intégrant ladite invention.

Title: Drug evolution: drug design at hot spots
Inventor: KONISHI YASUO
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: A new method of designing and generating compounds having an increased probability of being drugs, drug candidates, or biologically active compounds, in particular having a therapeutic utility, is disclosed. The method consists of identifying a group of bioactive compounds, preferably of diverse therapeutic uses or biological activities and built on a common building block. In this group of compounds, side chains modifying the building block are identified and used to generate a second set of compounds according to the proposed methods of "hybridization", "single substitution" or "incorporation of frequently used side chains". If the compounds in the second set built on the same building block contain an unusually large number of drugs, preferably with diverse therapeutic uses or biological activities, they constitute a "hot spot". A focused combinatorial library of the "hot spot" is then generated, preferably by methods of combinatorial chemistry, and compounds of this library are screened for a variety of therapeutic uses or biological activities. The method generates drugs, drug candidates, or biologically active compounds with a high probability, without requiring any prior knowledge of biological targets.

Title: Invoiceless trading and settlement method and system
Inventor: DUNCAN WILLIAM JAMES
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-05-02
Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the present invention overcome the shortcomings of existing trading systems by providing an invoiceless trading  system (100) that creates incentives for customers to pay suppliers within a  predetermined period of time, such as a settlement period. Specifically, the  invoiceless trading system (100) enables a customer to obtain a discount on orders placed with suppliers in return for an immediate payment (e.g., withi n 24 hours) by the customer. The supplier receives payment within the predetermined period of time, and the customer receives additional cash benefits by providing an early payment to the supplier. To communicate with and transfer funds between customers and suppliers, the invoiceless trading system (100) may use an electronic gateway (120) and a settlement bank. In addition to creating an incentive to embrace e-commerce, both customers and suppliers avoid the need to manually process orders and use invoices to complete transactions.

Patent CA-2383966-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN STEPHEN H
IPC: C10G61/06
Filed: 2000-10-23
Abstract: A process for the removal of hydrocarbon contaminants, such as dienes and olefins, from an aromatics reformate by contacting an aromatics reformate stream with a hydrotreating catalyst and/or a molecular sieve. The hydrotreating catalyst substantially converts all dienes to oligomers and partially converts olefins to alkylaromatics. The molecular sieve converts the olefins to alkylaromatics. The process provides an olefin depleted product which can be passed through a clay treater to substantially convert the remaining olefins to alkylaromatics. The hydrotreating catalyst has a metal component of nickel, cobalt, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten, nickel-molybdenum, cobalt-nickel-molybdenum, nickel-tungsten, cobalt-molybdenum or nickel-tungsten-titanium, with a nickel molybdenum/alumina catalyst being preferred. The molecular sieve is an intermediate pore size zeolite, preferably MCM-22. The clay treatment can be carried out with any clay suitable for treating hydrocarbons.
