Patent CA-2396948-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KIM MIN-KYU
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: The system preferably includes a unique transmitter that sends both clock an d data signals over the same transmission line. The receiver uses the same transmission line to send data signals back to the transmitter. The transmitter comprises a clock generator, a decoder and a line interface. The  clock generator produces a clock signal that includes a variable position falling edge. The falling edge position is decoded by the receiver to extrac t data from the clock signal. The receiver comprises a clock re-generator, a data decoder and a returm channel encoder. The clock re-generator monitors t he transmission line, receives signals, filters them and generates a clock sign al at the receiver from the signal on the transmission line. The return channel  encoder generates signals and asserts them on the transmission line. The signal is asserted or superimposed over the clock & data signal provided  by the transmitter.

Title: Device for thermal ablation of a cavity
Inventor: YACKEL DOUGLASS
IPC: A61F7/12
Filed: 2001-02-23
Abstract: An apparatus and method for causing necrosis of tissue and specifically intended for thermal ablation of the uterine cavity to cauterizing the endometrial tissue. The apparatus includes a liquid-tight, liquid filled system having a distal flexible member (14); a proximal flexible member (26);  and a catheter (16) joining and providing a liquid path between these distal and proximal members. The apparatus further includes a pressurizable pneumatic chamber into which the proximal flexible member is inserted and a means to controllably heat the contents of the pneumatic chamber. The system operates to: first withdraw substantially all of the liquid into the proximal flexible member contained within the pressurizable pneumatic chamber; second to heat this liquid to a temperature such that it can cause tissue necrosis; and third to force the heated liquid from the proximal flexible member into the distal flexible member where it is maintained for a predetermined time and at a predetermined pressure. Where this distal member has been inserted into a uterine cavity or is otherwise in contact with living tissue, the presence of the heated liquid results in tissue necrosis and cauterization.

Title: Device for cooking eggs without their shell
Inventor: FREITAG DIETMAR
IPC: A47J29/02
Filed: 2001-02-19
Abstract: When cooking eggs (1) without the egg shell while using heat radiation, there is a risk that the heat radiation will burn the surface of the eggs (1). In order to cook the eggs (1) without burning them, the invention provides a shielding which is placed between the egg (1) to be cooked and the heat radiation source (2) such that it is not in contact with the egg (1) to be cooked so that the egg can also be cooked in a shape resembling that of a fried egg. The eggs (1) are advantageously cooked in enclosures (5) of a preparation shell (4), whereby the shielding (6) frees areas of the preparation shell (4) between said enclosures (5) for direct heat radiation. In order to accelerate the cooking process, the heat absorbed in these areas can be transferred to the eggs (1) by a heat conductive connection of the preparation shell (4) to the enclosures (5).

IPC: G08B29/18
Filed: 2003-02-07
Abstract: An alarm panel of a security system is additionally provided with an interference circuit for evaluating the possible presence of a large electromagnetic interference signal such as lightning. The earth ground connection of the alarm panel to a power source is used to provide an input to the interference circuit. The earth ground connection receives large transient signals caused by such naturally occurring events. The alarm panel uses this additional information to modify the reporting of alarm conditions. This has particular application for addressing problems associated with motion detectors falsely triggering when a large electromagnetic signal is received. The solution of the alarm panel sensing this condition in contrast to each detector sensing this condition is more reliable, allows combining of detector information and is more cost effective.

Title: Composite materials with bulk decorative features and process for producing same
Inventor: SATZ RICHARD
IPC: B44C5/04
Filed: 2001-08-22
Abstract: A visually decorative material having bulk decorative effects which may be used as a surface covering or for creating decorative objects, and the method of manufacturing same. The material is formed of a pigmented castable liquid vehicle having dispersed therein a quantity of discrete particles of higher specific gravity than the liquid vehicle. The material is formed by pouring the vehicle-particle composite onto a suitable backing. As the liquid flows onto the backing, the particles sink and disturb the uniformity of the pigment distribution. This causes the desired bulk decorative effects in the form of "comet-tails" and other dimensionally extended streaks and curves. Thereafter, a second casting is applied using a formulation which is at an earlier stage of curing. The backing may be removed after the castable liquids solidify or may be left in place to create a laminate. As a floor-covering, the material may be poured in place onto a suitable sub-flooring. A protective surface coating may also be applied to the solidified casting.

Title: Processing using condensing mode in fluidized beds, with liquid phase enrichment and bed injection
Inventor: HOWLEY TIMOTHY JOSEPH
IPC: C08F2/00
Filed: 2002-02-05
Abstract: The partially condensed fluid recycle stream of a fluidized be polyolefin reactor operating in the condensing mode is split into two portions by a stream splitter. In a preferred mode, the smaller stream from the splitter contains a higher ration of liquid gas than the larger stream. One portion of the split stream is injected below the fluidized bed and the other, preferably with enhanced liquid content, is injected into the fluidized bed at a level above the product withdrawal level. Regulation of liquid injection above the product withdrawal level, as a function of liquid in the product discharge tanks, reduces the liquid in the product discharge system, resulting in improved discharge cycle times and more efficient conservation of monomer and other materials which might otherwise be lost in the discharge process.
