Patent CA-2495719-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RODRIGUES JAMES
IPC: B29C45/00
Filed: 2003-07-30
Abstract: An apparatus and method for folding a hinged molded part in a molding machine.  As a part-removal apparatus, preferably a swing arm mechanism, grips one of the lid portion or the base portion of the molded part and moves the molded part away from the mold, a deflector connected to a portion of the mold engages the other portion of the part and initially folds the part at the hinge. The deflector further folds the part as the mold closes. The portions of the part are pushed together and latched in one embodiment by the swing arm mechanism that grips and moves the molded part against the deflector, and in another embodiment by a closing actuator operated separately from the swing arm mechanism.

Title: Statistical personalized recommendation system
Inventor: PATEL JAYENDU
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2003-08-19
Abstract: A method for recommending items in a domain to users, either individually or in groups, makes user of users' characteristics, their carefully elicited preferences, and a history of their ratings of the items are maintained in a database. Users are assigned to cohorts that are constructed such that significant between-cohort differences emerge in the distribution of preferences. Cohort-specific parameters and their precisions are computed using the database, which enable calculation of a risk-adjusted rating for a ny of the items by a typical non-specific user belonging to the cohort. Personalized modifications of the cohort parameters for individual users are computed using the to individual-specific history of ratings and stated preferences. These personalized parameters enable calculation of a individua l- specific risk-adjusted rating of any of the items relevant to the user. The method is also applicable to recommending items suitable to groups of joint users such a group of friends or a family. A related method can be used to discover users who share similar preferences. Similar users to a given user are identified based on the closeness of the statistically computed personal - preference parameters.

Inventor: LANDRUM JOHN THOMAS
IPC: A61B3/12
Filed: 2004-04-27
Abstract: Apparatus for use in measuring the density and spatial distribution of macular pigment in an eye comprises a camera (4) for capturing a colour image of an eye, at least one filter (36) for filtering light reaching the camera (preferably by filtering the light illuminating the eye). The filter (36) has a transmission spectrum with one peak in the region of light absorbed by the pigment and another peak in a region where no such absorption occurs. The filter increases the sensitivity of the camera to macular pigment whilst enabling the effect of other pigments to be reduced or eliminated. A method of measuring macular pigment involves obtaining a colour image of an eye, the image having two colour components each having a spectrum having a respective one of said peaks. Corresponding portions of the components are mathematically combined so as to provide a measurement of macular pigment density and the results of the combination are used to provide an output representative of the contribution of macular pigment to the image.

Title: Self-stabilized electrophoretically frustrated total internal reflection display
Inventor: WHITEHEAD LORNE A
IPC: G02F1/167
Filed: 2003-12-10
Abstract: An image display (10) has a transparent front sheet (12) with a prismatically microstructured (16) inward surface and a rear sheet (14) substantially parallel to and spaced from the front sheet (12). An electrophoretic suspension fills the space between the sheets (12, 14). The suspension is formed by suspending non-light-scattering light absorptive particles (24) in an electrophoresis medium (22) until the particles (24) form a substantially unitary thermodynamically stable agglomeration (56). Application of a voltage across the suspension establishes an electric field for controllably electrophoretically moving the particle agglomeration (56) as a substantially unitary whole toward the front sheet's inward surface to frustrate total internal reflection at the inward surface of light rays passing through the front sheet (12).
