Patent CA-2484857-A1 (CA)
Title: Computer-based system and method for executing orders
Inventor: ALLEN GREGORY ARTHUR
IPC: G06Q40/04
Filed: 2004-10-15
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel system and method for executing orders.  In an embodiment, a system for executing orders includes a communications gateway through which orders and intents can be passed to an internalization engine. The internalization is operable to maintain intents and compare them with incoming orders, and with market feeds of best bid offers, in order to match up certain incoming orders with intents from the same firm in accordance with market rules. Where no match is made, the order is passed to a trading engine, also connected to the communications gateway, so that the order can be processed in the usual manner. Where a match is made, an appropriate portion of the intent is paired with the order and a trade notification is sent to the trading engine for processing in the usual manner.

Filed: 2003-09-19
Abstract: A scalable and compact computer system of three-dimensional subsystems (20-23) each having capacitive couplers (25) of its external surfaces for transmitting and receiving electrical signals to and from adjacent subsystems (20-23). Each surface having an electrically non-conducting substrate, one or more electrically conducting pads on the substrate, and electrical leads for coupling the pads to the subsystem's circuits. Two adjacent pads, each from a different subsystem (20-23), form a capacitive coupler (35) to carry the signals between the subsystems (20-23). The pads are covered by a low-loss dielectric material having a large dielectric constant for improved signal transmission. A differential signal may be supported using two capacitive couplers (25) to respectively carry the positive and negative signals of the differential signal. The subsystems (20-23) might be replaced or left in place when they failed. Additional subsystems (20-23) might be added to the system to expand its capacity.

Patent CA-2500722-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAPIESZKO RONALD S
IPC: C04B12/02
Filed: 2003-10-02
Abstract: Shaped, preferably porous, inorganic bodies are provided which are prepared from a reactive blend. In accordance with one preferred embodiment, the solution is absorbed into a porous sacrificial substrate such as a cellulose sponge. The solution-saturated substrate is heated and an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs thereby forming an inorganic solid. A shaped, inorganic body is formed in situ. Optional, but preferred additional thermal treatment of the shaped, inorganic body removes the organic substrate, leaving an inorganic body that faithfully mimics the porosity, shape, and other physical characteristics of the organic substrate. Inorganic substrates may also be used to good effect. Large varieties of shaped bodies can be prepared in accordance with other embodiments of the invention and such shapes find wide use in surgery, laboratory and industrial processes and otherwise. The invention also provides chemically and morphologically uniform powders, including those having uniformly small sizes.

IPC: C22B3/00
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: A process for recovering a precious metal from a sulfidic material comprises the steps of preparing an acidic aqueous halide solution having an oxidation potential sufficient to oxidise the sulfidic material and render the precious metal soluble in the solution, adding the material to the acidic aqueous halide solution so that the sulfidic material is oxidised and the precious metal is solubilised and separating the precious metal from the oxidised sulfidic material. In addition, a process for removing a contaminant from a contaminated sulfidic material comprises the steps of mixing the material in an aqueous solution wherein a multi-valent species of a relatively high oxidation state oxidises the contaminant to render it soluble in the solution, produces a contaminant refined material, and is reduced to a relatively lower oxidation state; and removing the contaminant from the solution whilst regenerating the multi-valent species to its relatively high oxidation state.

Title: Wireless packet communication method and apparatus
Inventor: AIKAWA SATORU
IPC: H04L29/00
Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: A plurality of data packets that contain sequence numbers, respectively, are transmitted simultaneously between two stations (STAs) by using a wireless channel and multiple inputs and multiple outputs (MIMO). An STA receiving the plurality of data packets, transmitted simultaneously by using MIMO, generates a single acknowledgement (ACK) packet containing information that corresponds to a sequence number of each data packet successfully received, and transmits the single ACK packet to a transmit-side STA  without using MIMO. Thus, a radio of successful ACK packet receptions to total receptions can be increased. An effect of improving throughput achieved by simultaneous transmission can also be ensured.

Inventor: WILDE CHRISTOPHER D
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: The invention is directed to an optical reader station for reading an object and a method of controlling an illumination source in the station for illuminating the object. The optical reader station comprises a mount for an optical reader and a stand with a surface for receiving the object; the optical reader includes an imager (320) with an object field (x) of view in which the object to be read (140) is positioned. The station further includes a radiation source (550) positioned within the object field of view and arranged to be obstructed by the object when the object is in position to be read. A detection mechanism, which is positioned to receive radiation from the radiation source when the radiation source is not obstructed by the object, deactivates the illumination source when radiation source radiation is detected. The detector mechanism may form part of an auto-exposure control in the imager, which senses ambient light impinging on the imager including the radiation from the radiation source for controlling the illumination level of the illumination source, or it may be a separate detector, which senses the radiation from the radiation source for deactivating the illumination source.  The radiation source, which may be an infrared source, a visible light source, a UV source or a luminescence emitter activated by a UV source, may be mounted within the surface of the stand.
