Patent CA-2566469-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCGINN MICHELE R
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-05-20
Abstract: A process, system and financial engine which determine portfolio~s sensitivity to market risk based on market conditions are described. In particular, with these process, system and financial engine, first data representative of time horizon information and second data representative of risk tolerance information are first received, and guidelines data based on the first and second data are established. Economic and market data underlying the quantitative indicators and factors determining the qualitative indicators are received. Market risk signals based on the indicator(s) is then established.  The portfolio~s sensitivity is determined based on the established guidelines data and the market risk signal. Using these process, system and financial engine, it is possible to determine the current market risk level, and then recommend changes to (or adjust) the user~s portfolio market risk sensitivities based on the user~s time horizon (i.e., need to access their assets within a particular time) and the determined market risk level.
Patent CA-2569103-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRIFFIN JASON
IPC: H04M1/72436
Filed: 2005-06-07
Abstract: A system and method for resolving ambiguities in multi-tap text input resulting from successive keystrokes of the same key. The keystroke timing is evaluated to assess whether a default understanding of the keystrokes should be rejected in favour of an alternative interpretation. The timing between successive keystrokes is compared to a timing value to determine if the successive keystrokes are part of the same character input or constitute separate character inputs. The system and method assist in resolving ambiguities inherent in receiving multi-tap input through a reduced-key input device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel materials based on biodegradable polyamino acids that are useful especially for the vectorization of active principle(s) (AP). The invention further relates to novel pharmaceutical, cosmetic, dietetic or phytosanitary compositions based on these polyamino acids. The object of the invention is to provide a novel polymer starting material that is capable of being used for the vectorization of AP and makes it possible on the one hand to achieve high polymer/AP ratios, and on the other hand optimally to satisfy all the specifications required in the case in point: biocompatibility, biodegradability, ability to associate easily with numerous active principles or to solubilize them, and ability to release these active principles in vivo. This object is achieved by the present invention, which relates first and foremost to linear polyamino acids comprising aspartic units or glutamic units and having hydrophobic grafts comprising hydrophobic groups containing from 8 to 30 carbon atoms, at least one of these hydrophobic grafts having at least one anionic charge and/or one or more mutually identical or different ionizable groups each capable of giving rise to at least one anionic charge. These polymers are amphiphilic and anionic and are capable of being converted easily and economically to particles for the vectorization of active principles, these particles themselves being capable of forming stable aqueous colloidal suspensions.

Title: Range and velocity sensing system
Inventor: DORRINGTON ADRIAN ANDREW
IPC: G01S17/10
Filed: 2005-09-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus used to calculate at least one velocity component for a target within the region. The invention employs an energy source which is activated using an activation system in a cyclic pattern with a selected source frequency. A receiver is also employed in conjunction with a shielding system where this shielding system is configured to block the sensing of reflected energy from the target in a cyclic pattern with a selected receiver frequency. The invention operates through measuring a frequency change in the source frequency of the energy source signal when received by the receiver and determines a velocity component for a target based on a measured frequency change for a known direction of travel. The invention may also be extended to provide a two or three dimensional velocity vector through the addition of further energy sources.
