If an actual user is determined to be in the image, then flow of water such as directing water outwardly of a faucet (24), or flushing of a toilet, is actuated. Further, the invention can be utilized in a tub and/or shower, and certain safety features can be provided by the control.
Patent CA-2607015-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAREST PASCALE
IPC: C12N9/02
Filed: 2005-05-04
Abstract: An intramolecular bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), biosensor for monitoring receptor activity and signalling cascades is disclosed. The ~double-brilliance~ biosensor sandwiches .beta.-arrestin (.beta.-arr) between Renilla luciferase (Luc) and the yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). .beta.-arr associates with G-protein coupled receptors GPCR following receptor activativation, bringing Luc and YPF into close proximity that favours energy transfer. In addition to providing new insights into the agonist-induced conformational rearrangements of .beta.-arr in living cells, the double-brilliance .beta.-arr offers a universal biosensor for GPCR activation, allowing the study of native receptors in large-scale screening analysis. The activity of other signalling molecules known to interact with .beta. arrestin could also be monitored by double brilliance .beta. arr.

Title: Failover system and method
Inventor: LAM BENSON SZE-KIT
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2007-02-19
Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides a system for failover comprising at least one client selectively connectable to one of at least two interconnected servers via a network connection. In a normal state, one of the servers is designated a primary server when connected to the client and a remainder of the servers are designated as backup servers when not connected to the client. The at least one client is configured to send messages to the primary server. The servers are configured to process the messages using at least one service that is identical in each of the servers. The services are unaware of whether a server respective to the service is operating as the primary server or the backup server. The servers are further configured to maintain a library, or the like, that indicates whether a server is the primary server or a server is the backup server. The services within each server are to make external calls via its respective library. The library in the primary server is configured to complete the external calls and return results of the external calls to the service in the primary server and to forward results of the external calls to the service in the backup server. The library in the secondary server does not make external calls but simply forwards the results of the external calls, as received from the primary server, to the service in the secondary server when requested to do so by the service in the secondary server.

Title: Clinical data monitoring
Inventor: CLINE PATRICK
IPC: G16Z99/00
Filed: 2007-08-29
Abstract: Data is combined from multiple independent data stores, and is then queried using a data correlation engine. Contemplated engines preferably keep track of previously run correlations, and then makes those correlations available to clinicians for their own use. For example, a preferred system might provide a listing of correlations run by other clinicians in a particular medical specialty, or a particular community, whether geographic or otherwise. In another example, a preferred system might provide a listing of correlations sorted by popularity, so that the most frequently accessed correlations appear near the top of the list. In any case a clinician could simply view the list, and check off which correlations he/she would like to have run for his/her practice, or practice community.

Inventor: TORNQVIST ANDERS
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2007-07-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for ensuring authenticity of an electronic transaction performed during a transaction session, comprising the steps of receiving, over a first network, a request from a user for the completion of an electronic transaction, receiving, over the first network, an authentication code from the user which has been provided to the user over a second network separated from the first network, thereby authenticating the user, completing the electronic transaction, and storing information associated with the electronic transaction and the transaction session. The method further comprises the step of generating a one-way hash value based on information comprised in the electronic transaction and information associated with the transaction session, and providing the one-way hash value to the user, wherein the one-way hash value is usable for ensuring the authenticity of the electronic transaction. The procedure enables authentication, integrity, non-repudiation, and time stamping in a cost efficient way. An enhanced security level can be achieved as the network used for providing the authentication code to the user is separate from the network where the user returns the authentication code. The present invention also relates to a corresponding computer system adapted for ensuring the authenticity of an electronic transaction.

Filed: 2009-05-08
Abstract: A header assembly for a combine harvester includes a header carried by an adapter on the feeder house of the combine and on a pair of gauge wheel which can be adjusted from inside the cab to change height of the cutter bar from the ground. This is used in combination with an Automatic Header Height Control so that the main suspension is adjusted to carry approximately 90% of the header weight, the header is dropped on the ground until the gauge wheels contact the ground, and causes the header to "float" with respect to the main carrier frame and the AHHC is set so that the combine feeder house stops lowering when a pre-set amount of header to adapter separation (float) is achieved with the AHHC  operating to maintain this set amount by controlling the height of the feeder house.
