Patent CA-2351109-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LENORMAND ROLAND
IPC: G01N15/08
Filed: 2001-06-18
Abstract: - Système pour évaluer des paramètres physiques tels que leur perméabilité absolue de roches poreuses d'une zone d'un gisement souterrain, à partir de fragments prélevés dans cette zone tels que des débris rocheux remontés dans la boue d'un forag e. - Des fragments de roche sont immergés dans un fluide visqueux contenu dans une enceinte. Des moyens de pompage injectent d'abord dans l'enceinte du fluide sous une pression croissante avec le temps, jusqu'à un seuil de pression définie, de manière à comprimer le gaz piégé dans les pores de la roche. Cette phase d'injection e st suivie d'une phase de relaxation avec arrêt de l'injection. La variation de pressio n mesurée par des capteurs durant ces deux phases successives est enregistrée par un calculateur. - L'évolution de la pression durant le processus d'injection ayant été modélisée. à partir de valeurs initiales choisies pour les paramètres physiques des fragments, l e calculateur les ajuste itérativement pour faire coïncider au mieux la courbe de pression  modélisée avec la courbe de pression réellement mesurée - Applications à des mesures pétrophysiques.

Abstract: A storage tank for fluids comprises a novel wear or striker plate. The striker plate is comprised of a sacrificial galvanic anode and a steel core, and it is situated opposite an access opening. The striker plate can also function adjacent other corrosive areas in a tank, such as along a seam in a tank wall, to reduce corrosion.      An anodic plate comprising a plurality of cores is separable into multiple anodes that are placed in an above or below ground fluid storage tank to reduce corrosion therein. The anodic plate further acts as striker or wear plate in underground tanks.

Abstract: An arc fault current interrupting (AFCI) circuit breaker (10) includes a pair of electrical contacts (20, 34) for stopping the flow of electrical current in a protected portion of the distribution circuit. A low pass filter (102) is configured to receive a signal indicative of a voltage across a resistance (106) in the distribution circuit. The low pass filter (102) amplifies the signal and provides the signal to an arc fault detection circuit. The low pass filter (102) includes an input resistance (106) and a feedback resistance (108). In one embodiment of the invention, the input resistance (106) has a positive temperature coefficient. In another embodiment, the feedback resistance (108) has a negative temperature coefficient. In yet another embodiment, the input resistance (106) has a positive temperature coefficient and the feedback resistance (108) has a negative temperature coefficient. In any of the embodiments, when temperature decreases, the gain provided by the temperature compensation circuit (100) increases due to the temperature coefficients of the input and/or feedback resistors ((106, 108). As a result, the arc fault detection circuitry will maintain a constant sensitivity to arc faults throughout the entire operating temperature range of the AFCI circuit breaker (10).

Title: Display shipper
Inventor: GIBB JEFFREY S
IPC: B65D5/54
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: A shipping and display case having a unique series of perforated tears and cuts for opening the case. The case may have a conventional box shape, including front, back, left, right, top and bottom panels, and the case is provided with a perforated tear line that is used to open the case. The score/tear line is formed by a multitude of perforations or slits; and the slits in selected portions of the tear line are substantially longer than the slits in the rest of the tear line. In particular, in the portions of the tear line that cross over left and right front edges of the case, and in selected angled portions of the tear line, the slits/cuts are substantially longer than the slits/cuts in the rest of the tear line. These longer slits/cuts make it easier to cut or tear line through areas where it is normally difficult to tear cleanly.

Title: Micro-targeted advertising
Inventor: MORTENSEN LANCE H
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for micro-targeted advertising is disclosed that provides micro-targeting advertising to users of a networked devices. The advertising possibilities provided by the present invention are referred to as "micro-targeted" because the architecture of the present invention allows fo r targeting advertising more narrowly, and therefore more effectively, than th e prior art. In addition, the invention describes a system that is distributed  and script based rather than transaction based as in the prior art. In one embodiment, advertising scripts are dynamically generated (510) based on information related to the specific user of specific network device (e.g., terminal workstation). By determining an advertising audience on a user-by- user basis, the architecture of the present invention provides selective targeting of advertising content.

Title: Universal narrow-band emi filter
Inventor: KARIMI ZIARANI ALIREZA
IPC: A61B5/308
Filed: 2001-10-03
Abstract: A new method of elimination of periodic or quasi-periodic noise is presented.  Present method employs, as its main building block, a recently developed signal processing algo-rithm capable of extracting a specified component of a signal and tracking its variations over time. Performance of the present method is exemplified by application of the present EMI filter to elimination of power line noise potentially present on electrocardiogram and telephone cables. Superior performance of the method in terms of effective elimination of noise under frequency varying condition of power line signal is observed.  Present method offers a simple and robust structure which complies with practical constraints involved in the problem such as low computational resources available and low sampling frequency.

Title: Rolling seal suction pressure regulator, apparatus and system for draining a body cavity and methods related thereto
Inventor: LORD KEVIN M
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2000-06-16
Abstract: Featured is a pressure control regulator including a housing, a sealing member disposed within the housing, a flexible member and a biasing mechanism. The housing includes at least one inlet aperture and at least one outlet aperture, each inlet aperture being fluidly coupled to a first pressure source and each outlet aperture being fluidly coupled to a second pressure source, the first and second pressure sources being at different pressures. The flexible member extends between the sealing member outside surface and the housing inner surface so as to form a pressure boundary therebetween and to divide the housing interior into first and second compartments. The biasing mechanism, being responsive to pressure within the second compartment, acts on the sealing member so the sealing member is in one of an open position, when the second compartment is greater than a predetermined pressure value, or a closed position, when the second compartment pressure is at or below the predetermined pressure value. A portion of the housing in fluid communication with the second pressure source, also includes a mechanism to restrict fluid flow to or from the second compartment such that the second compartment pressure changes when fluid flow in either direction occurs for a time more than a predetermined period of time and remains effectively unchanged when such fluid flow time is less than the predetermined period of time. In a more particular embodiment, the second pressure source is a suction source and the regulator is a suction pressure regulator.
