IPC: G11B23/03
Filed: 2001-01-11
Abstract: A cleaning disc is provided to clean contaminated interior surfaces of a CD player. The cleaning disc is dimensioned to simulate a CD; however, in the first embodiment, the cleaning disc has stop tabs which prevent it from being fully loaded within a CD player. The front edge of the cleaning disc has a progressively narrowing contour, preferably semi-circular in shape, which simulates a CD. The CD player attempts to fully load the cleaning disc but fails as the stop tabs prevent further insertion.    The load roller continues to spin thereby increasing the cleaning action of the load roller with the cleaning disc. The cleaning disc can be single or multiple layers, and can be composed of materials which most advantageously clean the load roller, and the other contact surfaces within the CD player including the upper and lower skid plates which also may become contaminated. In a second embodiment, the cleaning disc has the same shape and size as a CD. The second embodiment is used for cleaning the interior surfaces of a CD player which include a magazine style loader.

Patent CA-2341714-A1 (CA)
Title: Napped fabric and process
Inventor: STAVRAKAS KAREN H
IPC: D04H1/46
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: A fabric having at least one hydraulically napped surface comprised of tangled fibers is disclosed. Because the fiber tangles are created from intact, undamaged fibers, fabric strength is not adversely affected by treatment. In addition, laundering enhances entanglement and the aesthetic qualities attributed to this fabric property: surface texture (hand), resistance to pilling, drapeability, and the like. These subjective characteristics have been quantified using values from the Kawabata Evaluation System.  A process for creating such fabrics has also been disclosed. The fabric passes through one or two treatment zone in which high pressure fluids (e.g., water) are directed at the fabric surface as the fabric moves away from a support member. In the case of dual treatemnt zones, a substantially lower pressure is used in the second treatment zone.

Title: Scp and msc fault recovery process and signaling node failure reporting mechanism
Inventor: BUGNON JACQUES
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 1999-10-01
Abstract: A method and system for automatically adjusting charges to a pre-paid account in a telecommunications or distributed processing network (8) following a failure in the network. After a service that is chargeable against the pre-paid account is initiated in the network, a failure (64, 80) in the network is detected. The failure prevents a charging node (20) from receiving event data relating to the pre-paid account. After recovery from the failure, a message (70, 86) is sent to the charging node containing service status information. The charging node adjusts the account balance in accordance with the service status information.

Title: Answer detection for ip based telephones using passive detection
Inventor: BECKER GARY
IPC: H04M1/253
Filed: 2001-05-01
Abstract: Deactivating a switch in a handset when a user wishes to answer an incoming call or terminate a call. A sound card within a personal computer transmits a hook tone that is above the human hearing range to a transmitter section of the handset. When the switch is in the activated state, the handset re-transmits the hook tone back to the sound card which converts the hook tone to digital information so that the hook tone can be detected by software running in the personal computer.      When the manual switch is deactivated, the handset ceases to re-transmit the hook tone back to the sound card. The software detects the absence of the hook tone to determine if the handset is answering the incoming call. In traditional telephony terms, when the manual switch is deactivated, this is the offhook condition. When the manual switch is activated, this is the onhook condition. When the user is finished with the call and activates the manual switch, the handset again starts re-transmitting hook tone that causes the hook tone to be detected by the software via the sound card. Then, the software signals the other party on the call that the call has been terminated. Low-pass filters are utilized in the handset to block the hook tone from the receiver and transmitter sections of the handset. A headset is similarly designed to provide the same switching features as the handset.

Patent CA-2350694-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MOTLEY CURTIS BOBBY
IPC: A61K31/74
Filed: 1999-08-27
Abstract: Disclosed are topical compositions which comprise from about 0.01 % to about 60 % by weight of an antiperspirant and/or deodorant active; from about 1 % to about 60 % by weight of a volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid having a solubility parameter of less than about 7.5 (cal/cm3)0.5 and a vapor pressure as measured at 25 ~C of from about 0.01 mmHg to about 6.0 mmHg; and from about 1 % to about 60 % by weight of a skin irritation-mitigating material having a vapor pressure equal to or less than that of the volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid, preferably a silicone-containing liquid; wherein the weight ratio of the volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid to the mitigating material is from about 5:1 to about 1:50. It has been found that the volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid as defined herein can cause skin irritation when used in an antiperspirant or deodorant composition, when used at relatively low concentrations, but that the skin irritation can be reduced or eliminated by the addition of a skin irritation-mitigating material, provided the material has the requisite vapor pressure and weight ratio relative to the volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid.

IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: The present invention is a gaming device and preferably a bonus round game of a gaming device that enables a player to initiate a randomly generated number, wherein said number determines the number of positions that a position marker will move along an enclosed path. Each time the marker lands upon a previously unmarked position, the game provides an award associated with that position to the player. When the marker lands upon a previously marked position, the game ends. The present invention also contemplates updating or changing the values of unmarked or unselected positions along the enclosed path by preferably adding to each unmarked or unselected position the value of the award of a previously selected position. That is, when the game randomly selects an unmarked position, the game provides the player with an award, wherein the game preferably replaces a previously achieved award with the award of the newly selected position.
