Title: Defibrillator with improved hemodynamic response and enhanced myocardial stability
Inventor: ALT ECKHARD
IPC: A61N1/365
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: An implantable defibrillator (10) provides a device-implemented method of delivering cardiac pacing, cardioversion and defibrillation (20) therapies i n selective response to dysrhythmia detection of an implant patient's cardiac signal. The patient's heart rate is sensed, and cardioversion/defibrillation  therapies are delivered by the device by producing electrical shocks of adjustable energy level for application to the patient's heart in response t o applicable detected levels of pathologic accelerated heart rate. A match between the generated cardiac pacing rate and the contemporaneous hemodynami c needs of the implant patient under conditions of rest and physical activity is optimized by sensing periods of patient activity and rest and generating a signal representative thereof to control the cardiac pacing rate accordingly  and to the extent of activity by means of an accelerometer (30) mounted on hybrid electronic circuitry.
Patent CA-2392562-A1 (CA)
Title: Crash recovery without complete remirror
Inventor: OHRAN RICHARD
IPC: G06F15/17
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: A primary computer system (110) and a backup computer system (120) each has an associated memory. For each write request, a copy of the request is forwarde d to a delay buffer (214) and memory queue (213) associated with the primary computer system, and a copy is forwarded to a memory queue (223) of the back up computer system. The backup computer system transmits an acknowledgement signal to the primary computer system when the backup computer system receiv es its copy of the request. The write request in the delay buffer of the primar y computer system is executed in the primary memory (114) only upon receipt of  this acknowledgement signal. Thus, the backup computer system knows of every  request executed in the primary memory. The write request is executed in the  backup memory (124) at any time after the backup computer system receives th e write request. The write requests are deleted from the memory queues (primar y and backup) when the associated computer system confirms that the write request was executed in the memory of the opposite computer system. Should t he primary (or backup) computer system shut down, the requests are accumulated in the opposite backup (or primary) memory queue. When the primary (or backup) computer system becomes operational again, the requests in the opposite back up (or primary) memory queue are executed in the primary (or backup memory). Thus, no memory is lost when the primary (or backup) computer system shuts down and complete remirroring of data is not required.

Title: Method and apparatus for storing changes to file attributes without having to store an additional copy of the file contents
Inventor: YEE TERRENCE
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 2001-03-22
Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for storing changes to file attributes without having to store an additional copy of the file contents (100). In a system for maintaining and making changes to content for a website, extranet site or intranet site (124), memory may be allocated as a backing store (110).  Preferably, the contents of the backing store are saved despite a shutdown or power failure. Information may be stored by the backing store in the form of files, each file including contents and attributes. The content of a file includes the information stored within the file, while the attributes of the file include information relating to the file. When a change is made to the file contents, both the changed version and the version prior to the changes may be stored in the backing store (110). For each version of the file contents, associated attributes are also stored. However, when a change is made to the attributes of the file without a change to its contents, the newly changed attributes may be stored in the backing store along with the prior version of the attributes. The newly changed attributes and the prior version of the attributes then share the same version of the file contents. By avoiding having to store multiple versions of the file contents, storage space in the backing store is preserved. A pointer may be provided in the backing store which links both the newly changed attributes and the prior attributes to the same copy of the associated file contents (600).

Patent CA-2404620-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DYRBUSCH BRIGITTA
IPC: B01D61/14
Filed: 2001-05-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the treatment of work pieces with a palladium colloid solution by bringing the work pieces into contact with the colloid solution, palladium being recovered after the use of the colloid solution. This is achieved by separating palladium colloid particles from the colloid liquid by means of a molecular filter. With this method it is easy to continuously and largely completely separate palladium from the spent processing solutions without investing large amounts of chemicals, energy and time. The spent processing solution may especially be worked up after separation of the part of the solution containing palladium such that palladium can be recovered completely and be reused for further processing.
Patent CA-2406666-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOUCHENS KIMBERLY S
IPC: C08L51/06
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a heat-resistant elasti c article and a heat-resistant elastic article. The invention especially relat es to a method of making elastic fibers and polymeric elastic fibers wherein th e elastic fibers are capable of withstanding dyeing and heat-setting processes  that typically are conducted at elevated temperatures (such as 110-230 ~C an d especially at greater than or equal to 130 ~C for minutes). The inventive method comprises radiation crosslinking an article (or plurality of articles ) under an inert or oxygen limited atmosphere (for example, in N2, argon, helium, carbon dioxide, xenon and/or a vacuum) wherein the article (or articles) comprises at least one amine stabilizer and preferably another optional stabilizer additive. More preferably, the radiation crosslinking is  performed at a low temperature (-50 to 40 ~C). The elastic article (or articles) comprises a homogeneously branched ethylene interpolymer (preferab ly a substantially linear ethylene interpolymer), a substantially hydrogenated block polymer, or a combination of the two. The heat-resistant elastic articles (especially fibers) are useful in various durable or repeated-use fabric applications such as, but not limited to, clothing, under-garments, a nd sports apparel. The heat-resistant elastic fibers can be conveniently formed  into fabrics using well-known techniques such as, for example, by using co- knitting techniques with cotton, nylon, and/or polyester fibers.

Title: Monolithic terminal interface
Inventor: ALEXANDER THOMAS
IPC: H01R12/58
Filed: 2001-04-24
Abstract: A monolithic terminal interface for supporting, and establishing electrical contact to, components such as releays and fuses includes a terminal board fabricated from a self-supporting sheet of resilient, electrically insulating material. The terminal board includes one or more terminal sockets, each being defined by a terminal slot formed through the board. The terminal slot creates opposed contact beams which include contact portions spaced by a distance less than the thickness of a terminal. The contact portions of the contact beams engage a terminal inserted therebetween, and because of the resilient nature of the material of the board, maintain contact pressure with the terminal. A  pattern of metalization extends across at least one face of the board and into the terminal slot so as to cover the contact regions. In this manner, electrical contact can be established through the conductive metal pattern to a terminal inserted in the slot. The monolithic terminal interface can be used to fabricate a power distribution box for a motor vehicle.
