Title: Elastomeric carrying case
Inventor: ACKLOO ANDREW
IPC: A45C13/10
Filed: 2006-09-29
Abstract: A carrying case is designed to carry a personal electronic appliance, such as a portable MP3 player. The carrying case includes an elastomeric housing shaped to closely receive the appliance, a fastener external to the housing and adapted to fasten to a user's person, a pad assembly located within the housing, and a mounting assembly that couples the fastener to the pad assembly. In preferred form, the pad assembly comprises a plastic support structure and a pad of non-abrasive gripping material adhered to the support structure. The pad assembly is positioned against the rear wall of the housing so that elastomeric tension in the housing urges the pad against the rear surface of the received appliance, resisting relative rotation of the pad assembly and the received appliance.

Title: Method for the production of natural energy from waste
Inventor: DONATI GIANNI
IPC: B03B9/06
Filed: 2005-04-18
Abstract: The method aims at obtaining from waste and more particularly from municipal solid waste (MSW) the energy contained therein at the highest level for industrial use by means of natural technologies and with low environmental impact. The method, denoted by the acronym NEW (Natural Energy from Waste) operates through the following process phases: a) aerobic digestion of the putrescible biological part to produce stabilised waste which is easy to handle, b) separation of a fraction rich in materials with a high heat value, c) storage of the residue, rich in biodegradable and inert substances, compacted into appropriate geometrical shapes in bioreactors which can be activated and sealed, d) activation of the bioreactors with water and their service in time during anaerobic digestion to supply biogas to be used for the production of energy, e) bio-stabilisation and dehydration of the residual material of the anaerobic treatment with air, f) possible recovery of the materials produced in this way. In this way the energy contained in the waste, is extracted at the most refined level in the form of plastic, plastic/paper and methane for energy uses with maximum yield and reduced production of ash, and the end material leaving the bioreactors is fully exhausted of its energy content and inertised.

Patent CA-2564674-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAYERESSE YVES
IPC: A61K47/26
Filed: 2005-04-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of drying biological and other labile samples so that they can be preserved as a highly viscous liquid. The method involves the steps of preparing a preservation sample by dissolving/suspending an active agent in a solution of a stabilising agent, subjecting the preservation sample to such temperature and pressure conditions that the preservation sample looses solvent by evaporation without freezing or bubbling to form a foam and removing solvent until the preservation sample dries to form a highly viscous liquid. The stabilising solution comprises a glass forming polyol and a second component which decreases the flow rate of the highly viscous liquid formed by the method.

IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2006-12-08
Abstract: ABSTRACT The application relates to the field of communications and more particularly to an apparatus and method of generating a new event from a document. In accordance with one aspect of the present application, recognized date/time references contained in a document allow a new event to be created. Such date/time references are automatically recognized and highlighted in the document. Selecting the highlighted information generates a menu selection, offering a user the ability to create a new event into which the date/time information will be inserted, along with other information extracted from the document. Specific date/time information in a document is simply correlated to a known date/time format in a lookup table, while relative terms like "tomorrow", "today" or days of the week (ie. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.) are recognized by a date/time detector module and translated into a specific date/time. Using an embodiment of the present application, a new event can be readily generated.

Patent CA-2596625-A1 (CA)
Inventor: POWER JOAN F
IPC: G02B21/00
Filed: 2007-08-07
Abstract: The invention comprises a light profile microscopy (LPM) apparatus and method used for the direct three dimensional micron scale imaging of single biological cells or cellular arrays. A  slice volume is illuminated in a cellular sample using a planar sheet of optical radiation of micron scale thickness. A microscope records a full field image of the lateral dimensions of the cellular slice volume with optical contrast from mechanisms that emit or scatter light from the cellular slice volume, including luminescence, Raman scattering and multi-photon processes.  Imaging occurs with effective refractive index matching to an immersion objective, and image focus is independently confirmed by a registration beam system. A series of axially distributed slice volume images is recorded, de-convoluted and assembled into a tomogram of the cellular object. This method provides two orders of magnitude shorter image acquisition times over the prior art with a lower photon dosage per image element.
