Title: Gas heater having firebox with controllable outside air mixing vent
Inventor: BEASEY CORBIT
IPC: F24B1/188
Filed: 1999-11-24
Abstract: A fireplace has a firebox with a controllable outside air vent to provide a source of cooler air for mixing with and modulating the temperature of the air heated by the fireplace. The air vent is vertically formed between a combustion chamber and a surrounding shell so that a connective current causes the air to flow therethrough and pass over the top surface of the combustion chamber to keep it cooler than otherwise possible with heated room air.    Connective currents in another air duct formed between the shell and the combustion chamber circulates room air around the combustion chamber to transfer heat to the room air. The warmed outside air and room air mixes in a plenum above the fireplace prior to entering the room, thereby modulating the temperature of the heated air and permitting it to burn without excessively heating the room. A damper regulates the flow of outside air into the air vent, as desired.

Title: System and method for generating year 2000 test cases
Inventor: KARUNANITHI NACHIMUTHU
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1998-07-21
Abstract: An innovative rule based method and system for creating test cases for the Year 2000 compliance testing of software systems is described. Using the method and system of the present invention, the user will first input information as rules relating to the business logic of the system. After obtaining the business logic, the system will transform input test cases into output test cases for the Year 2000 compliance testing. The term test cases, used in a broad sense here, refer to regression test cases written in any test automation languages, archive of test input/output data files, or snap shots of transactions captured using a recording tool. The system operates by first parsing the input files and based upon the business logic, it identifies date, time, or duration dependent variables or constants ("date dependent fields" collectively) in the input test cases. The system then substitutes risky dates, time, or duration for these fields in a manner which preserves the business logic. Risky values here refer to values that are important for the Year 2000 compliance testing - a set of values which may be user-defined. The system provides several modes of generation of output test cases depending upon the users' needs. The system can be retrofitted to deal with generation of test cases for any one time change to a software system. For example, when seven digits telephone numbers are replaced by ten digit numbers or various currencies are replaced by a single currency unit and so forth.

Filed: 2000-04-05
Abstract: An inline component for a liner assembly, usable particularly in deviated wellbores, is disclosed. The component involves a series of offset passages to create sufficient turbulence in the circulating cement during a cementing job so as to eliminate the phenomenon of roping where there is inefficient displacement of mud with the circulating cement. The multi-component inline device has peripheral seals to prevent leakpaths along the inside wall of the casing being cemented. The offset flow passages are presented in individualized components which are rotationally locked to each other and have peripheral sealing devices. The stack of components is retained within the casing to prevent its longitudinal movement during the pumping of cement.   The preferred materials are soft metallics which facilitate drilling out if required. The interlocking nature of the components also eliminates relative rotation to facilitate drill-out.

Title: Method of controlling blood sugar levels using coccoloba uvifera
Inventor: BUCKLEY WILLIAM
IPC: G01N33/96
Filed: 2000-07-12
Abstract: A method of treating diabetes in a patient comprising the steps of administering a first quantity of an ingestible medium of coccoloba uvifera leaf extract to the patient, monitoring the patient's change in serum glucose level, and modifying, if needed, the first quantity of the ingestible medium of coccoloba uvifera leaf extract wherein the patient's serum glucose level is reduced to normal levels. Normal levels are generally considered to be about 110 to 130 mg serum glucose per liter. Accordingly, monitoring and adjustment in the dosages of the ingestible medium of coccoloba uvifera leaf extract are increased until the patient's serum glucose level is reduced to 130 mg per liter or less. The patient's serum glucose level may be monitored daily or twice daily depending on the severity of the patient's condition. While the ingestible medium of coccoloba uvifera leaf may be ingested daily, dosages may be staggered to several times a week provided the patient's condition is properly monitored.
Patent CA-2315323-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AHMADI MASOUD
IPC: H04Q1/45
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A tone detector for detecting a tone such a DTMF tone by converting the signal to the frequency domain, then extracting signal features to input to an artificial neural network. The neural network is trained to detect the tone, or detect which of many predetermined tones, is present. It can be arranged to operate more quickly than conventional tone detection methods. This is particularly significant for coding or compressing signals which contain tones and other information. Since it is often more efficient to code or compress such tones separately from the other information, it can be essential to detect and separate such tones very quickly to avoid the risk of a single tone being coded or compressed twice, particularly if the signal is delay sensitive. A telephone conversation is an example.

Title: Method and means for making and conveying an extruded sausage strand
Inventor: NORDBY DAVID C
IPC: A22C11/00
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for producing and processing a strand of sausage (26) or foodstuff has a sausage producing machine (14) which produces a linked strand of sausage for deposit of loops (28) of the strand on the hooks (70) of a continuous conveyor (52). The conveyor (52) picks up the loops (28) of the strand at a loading station (16) immediately adjacent the discharge end of the machine, and conveys the loops (28) to a processing station for smoking or the like. The conveyor (52) then moves the loops to an unloading station (18) for removal of the strand from the conveyor (52), whereupon the conveyor (52) downstream of the unloading station (18) returns to the loading station to pick up additional product. A conveyor take-up mechanism (20) is located immediately downstream from the loading station (16) to permit the conveyor (52) to case movement at the loading station (16) (while the casing on the machine is being replenished) while the conveyor (52) can continue movement in the processing area. Sensors and controls interconnect the machine and the conveyor to coordinate the operational functions of each. A method of producing and processing a strand of sausage or foodstuff involves producing a linked strand of material, depositing linked loops thereof on the hooks of a moving conveyor, controlling the coordinated activity of the production of the product with the movement of the conveyor, moving the product to and through a processing station, and thence to an unloading station, while periodically stopping the movement of the conveyor and the operation of the machine while continuing the movement of the conveyor through the processing area.
