Patent CA-2562200-A1 (CA)
Title: Time-to-digital converter
Inventor: YOUSIF ABDEL-FATTAH S
IPC: H03K5/135
Filed: 2006-09-18
Abstract: A Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) is constructed using simple digital delay circuits. The design uses a clock compensation scheme to modify and adjust the TDC's operation under integrated circuit fabrication process variations. The TDC design is based on a novel digital processing algorithm that produces one conversion every clock cycle. Therefore, this TDC is the "first" single cycle latency TDC targeted at high speed circuit applications such as (but not limited to) time-based Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) for direct analog to digital conversion of radio frequency signals in wireless communication systems and high speed signal measurement applications. Due to its hierarchical design approach, the TDC design uses an optimized number of delay circuits and therefore requires very little power consumption and silicon area.
Patent CA-2564089-A1 (CA)
Inventor: O'BRIEN CONOR
IPC: A63B69/00
Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: A device for measuring the aerobic capacity of a subject, has an input for receiving a measurement of distance travelled in a given time. The time is chosen to be sufficiently large to ensure that the user is working at the maximum of his or her aerobic capacity. A processor determines from the values of distance and time an aerobic capacity, and a measure of exercise level is output to the user based on the calculated aerobic capacity. The calculated aerobic capacity conforms to the relationship expressed as: V02max = a + bx +  c (x~2) wherein V02max is the maximal oxygen consumption of a user; a, b and c are non-zero constants, and x is a measure of distance per unit time.

Fluid is flowed through a first channel through the member into the first lumen and through a second channel through the member into the second lumen. Additional lumens can be so treated at the same time. Fluids can include detergents and other cleaning fluids, disinfectants and sterilants.
Patent CA-2565937-A1 (CA)
Title: Continuous positive flow backflash prevention system
Inventor: SWARTOUT MATTHEW K
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2005-05-20
Abstract: A method and system for the prevention of backflash from an ignition source in a flare stack to a separator or wellbore particularly during drilling and production. A continuous positive flow of air or exhaust gas is provided into the flow of gases from the wellbore or the separator to ensure that the velocity of the flow is always higher than the velocity at which the flame can propagate backwards into either the separator or the wellbore. This method and system is particularly applicable to balanced, underbalanced and air drilling operations where the flow of gas from the wellbore is intermittent and unpredictable and can stop and start during connection and disconnection of the air used as the drilling fluid.
Patent CA-2565939-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SWARTOUT MATTHEW K
IPC: F23G7/08
Filed: 2005-05-20
Abstract: A fluid handling system for drilling cuttings utilizes a constant and gravity managed liquid level between a substantially atmospheric separator and a shale shaker to maximize fluid residence time within the separator and ensure substantially all of the gas entrained in the cuttings is evolved and passed to a flare thus preventing evolution of the gas at the shale shaker. Solids from the separator are combined with liquid recirculation from and returning to the shale shaker. Optionally, a vacuum degasser is positioned between the separator and the shale shaker and separated gases are passed from the degasser to the flare. This method and system is particularly applicable to balanced, underbalanced and air drilling operations where the flow of gas is intermittent and unpredictable.

Title: System and method for voice-mail and e-mail synchronization
Inventor: CONNELLY KEVIN
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2005-07-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a unified messaging system and method for combining a voice-mail system with an e-mail system. The present invention is a hybrid event driven system that polls a universal e-mail box for receipts, with the voice-mail system being fully event driven. The present invention maintains two persistent log-ins to the universal e~mail box, one to deliver messages and one to read message receipts. Thus, the system and method does not need to log-in and -out or read the entire list of messages. The present invention uses a file system instead of a state database. The system and method acts in real time such that messages in the unified messaging systems are synchronized within a pre-determined real-time. The system and method uses a ~fail-safing~  technique in which, after copies of messages are made and stored by each messaging component, allows one system to work if another is down.
