Abstract: The present invention solves the problem of automatically recognizing multiple known faces in photos or videos on a local computer storage device (on a home computer). It further allows for sophisticated organization and presentation of the photos or videos based on the graphical selection of known faces (by selecting thumbnail images of people). It also solves the problem of sharing or distributing photos or videos in an automated fashion between 'friends' who are also using the same software that enables the invention. It further solves the problem of allowing a user of the invention to review the results of the automatic face detection, eye detection, and face recognition methods and to correct any errors resulting from the automated process.
Patent CA-2711990-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FRANANO F NICHOLAS
IPC: A61M29/00
Filed: 2009-02-02
Abstract: A medical device for the delivery of fluids into or through the wall of a biological space or conduit is described. The medical device comprises one or more actuators, which may exist in a constrained configuration which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device or an unconstrained configuration in which at least a portion of the one or more actuators is oriented substantially non-parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device.  The device further comprises tissue penetrators, which may be attached to the actuators or contained within the actuators. Upon positioning of the device at the target treatment site within a biological space or conduit, the operator may release the actuators from their constrained position, allowing the actuators to adopt their unconstrained position and make contact with an adjacent wall of a biological space or conduit. The actuators are configured to minimize the physical contact between the device and the target tissue, thereby permitting uniform and enhanced delivery of fluids into less compressed tissue, with reduced tissue trauma.

Patent CA-2713785-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRZOZOWSKI JOHN JASON
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2010-08-27
Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for routing or forwarding packet data conforming to two different communication protocols simultaneously in a computer network. The first protocol may be a legacy protocol, such as IPv4, with routing being performed in a manner that maintains legacy behavior and functions. Such functions may include network address translation. The second protocol may be a newer protocol, such as IPv6, with the routing or forwarding being performed through reduced complexity bridging that enables simplified connectivity of second protocol devices. The bridging performed typically requires less memory and processing power than traditional routing techniques such as those implemented for the first protocol. Reduced memory and processing power requirements enable the second protocol routing functions to be added to legacy equipment that would not otherwise be able to support routing of the second protocol packet data.

Abstract: Disclosed are an austenitic stainless steel, and a hydrogenation method thereof, in which occurrence of fatigue cracks and growth of fatigue cracks are suppressed by charging the austenitic stainless steel with hydrogen.     In particular, focusing on the amount of diffusible hydrogen and non-diffusible hydrogen, which cause hydrogen embrittlement in austenitic stainless steel, the fatigue strength characteristics of austenitic stainless steel are improved by bringing the amount of diffusible hydrogen and non-diffusible hydrogen contained in the austenitic stainless steel to 0.0030 wt% (30 wt ppm) or higher. The austenitic stainless steel is subjected to a thermal treatment at a heating temperature of 200 to 500°C for up to 460 hours in a hydrogen environment. The hydrogen (H) contained in the austenitic stainless steel is brought thereby to 0.0030 wt%  (30 wt ppm) or higher.
