Patent CA-2427231-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAGLIN TREVOR
IPC: G01N33/86
Filed: 2001-10-18
Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining if a patient is hypercoagulable, hypocoagulable or normal. The test involves providing a test sample from the  patient and initiating coagulation in the sample in the presence of an activator, which is added to the sample in an amount which will result in intrinsic tenase-dependent fibrin. Then the formation of the intrinsic tenas e- dependent fibrin polymerization is monitored over time so as to derive a tim e- dependent profile, with the results of the fibrin polymerization monitoring determining whether the patient is hypercoagulable, normal or hypocoagulable . The coagulation activator is added in an amount that triggers a thrombin explosion that is dependent on the propagation phase and amplification pathways. In this way, a single assay can assess the hemostatic potential of  a sample.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil élévateur pour manipuler une tige de puits de forage, qui comprend un corps circulaire possédant un sommet et une cavité centrale située autour d'un axe du corps. Cette cavité possède un diamètre permettant à la partie collier de la tige de passer longitudinalement à travers elle. Une pluralité d'éléments de limitation de la cavité situés au-dessus du corps, soutenus par le sommet du corps et espacés autour de ce dernier, possèdent des parties proximale et distale par rapport à la cavité. Au moins un actionneur fonctionne avec les plaques pétales pour déplacer la partie proximale de chaque élément de limitation de la cavité dans la cavité à une distance suffisante pour empêcher, avec les autres éléments de limitation de la cavité ainsi déplacés, le passage de la partie collier de la tige à travers la cavité, maintenant ainsi la tige avec l'élévateur.

Title: Data communication
Inventor: MORRIS DONAL
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2000-12-13
Abstract: A method of communication of control information between data processing systems in a multiservices network via a communications channel. The method performs the steps of receiving a session initiation stimulus at a Session Control System (SCS), authenticating the received initiation stimulus in the SCS by referencing the stimulus source and stimulus content to a requested service and generating a proceed signal to a multiservices provider on receipt of an authentication valid signal from a contract database associated with the SCS and generating a service event. In this way, data can be controlled and organized in an 'a priori' and sequenced manner for the purposes of generation of information to charge directly or bill a customer.

Abstract: A water draining structure for gas reaction plate of a fuel cell stack includes a gas inlet, a gas outlet, a plurality of wide gas channels parallelly arranged to communicate with the gas inlet, and a plurality of narrow gas channel parallelly arranged to communicate with the gas outlet, all provided on the gas reaction plate.  Each of the wide gas channels is communicable with a corresponding one of the narrow gas channels. When an amount of reacting gas is guided into the gas reaction plate, it encounters a significant change in cross-section area from the wide gas channels to the narrow gas channels. A substantial pressure difference between the wide and narrow gas channels is generated, providing a force to blow off moisture in the wide and narrow gas channels.

Title: Electronic document management system with the use of signature technique capable of masking
Inventor: KUMAGAI YOKO
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2003-08-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a technology for verifying the validity of an electronic document even if the electronic document is partially rendered private at the time of its disclosure by using a signature affixed to the electronic document at the time of its creation. A target electronic document is divided into two or more partial documents having an arbitrary or fixed length. This division is effected by using a tag in XML or another markup language so as to provide versatility or by adding a dedicated delimiter. The system has a signature function. The signature function uses a signature technique for generating the information for verifying the validity of each of the partial documents, and for validating a signature affixed to the electronic document to confirm the validity of the whole electronic document by affixing a signature to the aggregate of the generated validity confirmation information.

IPC: E04D13/147
Filed: 2004-03-08
Abstract: Disclosed is a flashing for weatherproofing an aperture made in an inclined roof to allow passage of a vertical member such as chimney through the inclined roof. This flashing has a base member adapted to be mounted over the aperture and a surrounding member that is tubular in shape and extends upwardly from the base member to fit around the vertical member. The base member comprises a covering panel of quadrilateral shape having a top edge adapted to be positioned on an upper part of the inclined roof, a bottom edge adapted to be positioned on a lower part of the inclined roof, two opposite side edges and an opening large enough to allow passage of the vertical member therethrough. A bottom side wall projects downwardly from the bottom edge of the covering panel and two lateral side walls respectively extend downwardly from the opposite side edges of the covering panes and sidewardly from the bottom side wall in a tapering fashion. The covering panel, bottom side wall and lateral side walls together defines a hollow housing. This flashing can be installed by (1) cutting a slot in the upper part of the inclined roof above the aperture made therein, so as to receive the top edge of the covering panel of the base member, (2) inserting the top edge of the covering panel into the slot cut in the inclined roof (3) positioning the bottom side wall of the base member onto the lower part of the inclined roof in such a manner that the bottom opening of the surrounding member is located on top of the roof aperture; and (4) fastening the base member to the inclined roof. Thanks to its particular structure and the way it is installed, the flashing according to the invention may be installed in a very easy and efficient manner on any kind of roofs, including inclined roofs with a corrugated structure defining downwardly oriented ridges.
