Title: Suivi des micro-interactions entre l'utilisateur et la presentation de publicite sur une page web
Inventor: MIDDLETON THOMAS M III
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 1998-09-08
Abstract: En association avec la présentation de publicité sur des pages Web, une mini-application est téléchargée dans le navigateur Web de l'utilisateur pour qu'il soit possible de suivre les interactions entre l'utilisateur et la page Web en question. Le suivi de ces interactions concerne la position du curseur de la souris, l'heure affichée sur la page, le temps pendant lequel le curseur de la souris surfe sur la publicité, etc. A un moment opportun, par exemple lorsque la page Web est fermée, la mini-application achemine les informations d'interactions consignées du client à un serveur distant, lequel est généralement contrôlé par un annonceur publicitaire, par un service de tarification ou par tout autre service similaire. Ainsi l'annonceur publicitaire est en mesure de suivre les réactions des consommateurs aux effets d'un message publicitaire sur une page Web, sans qu'il soit nécessaire que l'utilisateur télécharge d'autres pages. Ce procédé permet aux annonceurs publicitaires de suivre les réactions de l'utilisateur à des éléments spécifiques de la page Web et de mieux déduire des informations sur les intérêts de l'utilisateur dans leur effort de qualification de l'utilisateur, avant de présenter d'autres messages publicitaires.
Patent CA-2303882-A1 (CA)
Title: Measuring foot contact time and foot loft time of a person in locomotion
Inventor: GAUDET PAUL J
IPC: G04G21/02
Filed: 1998-07-15
Abstract: The time period that a foot is in contact with the ground during a stride taken by a user, and the period that the foot is not in contact with the ground between strides taken by the user are determined by processing and analyzing the output signal of an accelerometer (34). The accelerometer (34) is mounted on the user such that its acceleration sensing axis senses acceleration in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom of the user's foot. The output of the accelerometer (34) is high-pass filtered (36), amplified (38), and fed to the input of a micro-controller (40), which monitors the signal for positive and negative signal spikes that are indicative, respectively, of the moment that the foot of the user leaves the ground and the moment that the foot impacts with the ground. By measuring time intervals between these positive and negative spikes, average "foot contact times" and "foot loft times" of the user may be calculated. To derive the pace of the user, the average foot contact time is multiplied by the first constant if it is less than 400 mili-seconds (ms) and is multiplied by a second constant if it is greater than 400 ms. This pace value may, in turn, be used to calculate the distance traveled by the user.

Title: Electromagnetic relay
Inventor: KERN JOSEF
IPC: H01H50/14
Filed: 1998-08-28
Abstract: The inventive relay has a base body in the form of a coil body (1), said base body supporting a core (16), a yoke (20), an armature (22) and a contact spring (23) which is connected to the armature. Fixed contact supports (3, 4) and a contact spring connection pin (5) which consist of semi-finished wire with a preferably rectangular or square cross-section are embedded in a flange (12) of the coil body (1). The inventive electromagnetic relay is therefore very simple to produce. There is no wasted material, no punching tools are needed for the contact connection parts and since no particles of plastic are abraded by insertion, there is no risk of this impairing the quality of the relay.

Title: Improved egg yolk compositions
Inventor: AKASHE AHMAD
IPC: A23L27/60
Filed: 2000-08-28
Abstract: This disclosure relates to egg yolk compositions with improved functionality as well as methods of preparing such egg yolk compositions. Such egg yolk compositions confer improved functionality to the food products into which they are incorporated. The egg yolk compositions are prepared by a process comprising: (1) forming an aqueous egg yolk mixture; (2) adding an alkaline material to the aqueous egg yolk mixture in an amount sufficient to adjust the pH of the aqueous egg yolk mixture to about 7.5 or above; (3) heating the pH-adjusted aqueous egg yolk mixture to about 40 to about 80°C for a period of about 30 minutes or longer; (4) cooling the heat treated aqueous egg yolk mixture to or close to ambient temperatures; and (5) added an acidic material to the cooled aqueous egg yolk mixture to adjust the cooled aqueous egg yolk mixture to a neutral pH, thereby forming the aqueous egg yolk composition; wherein the aqueous egg yolk composition can be used in food compositions to impart improved egg yolk functionality. The use of the compositions and methods of the disclosure lead to the use of less egg yolk, oil, and/or other ingredients in the food compositions described herein, thereby reducing the cost of producing large quantities of such food products. Such reductions in cost could be translated to the general public, and thereby serve the consumer.

Title: Rake receiver with low pass filer
Inventor: MARUYAMA YUICHI
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2001-01-24
Abstract: A rake receiver includes a radio receiving section, a first despreading section, a delay profile calculating section, a synchronization establishing and tracking section, a second despreading section and a demodulating section. The radio receiving section converts a received carrier signal into a spread baseband signal. The first despreading section calculates a correlation value signal from the spread baseband signal using a predetermined spreading code. The delay profile calculating section has an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter section functioning as a low pass filter, and calculates a delay profile from the correlation value signal using the infinite impulse response filter section. The synchronization establishing and tracking section detects phases of a selected path from the delay profile. The second despreading section despreads the baseband signal using the predetermined spreading code in response to each of the selected path phases to produce a despread baseband signal. The demodulating section demodulates the despread baseband signal into a data.
