Title: Container and method for making container for fragile products
Inventor: MORROW J MARK
IPC: B65D51/20
Filed: 2000-11-14
Abstract: A tubular container for fragile products is provided according to the present invention that includes a flexible end closure that moves inwardly against the products when vacuum is applied during packaging for providing cushioning support to the products. The flexible end closure is secured to an end of a tubular body wall having opposed ends and inner and outer surfaces and comprises a wound strip of material. A flexible liner having opposed end portions is secured to respective ends of the tubular body by way of an adhesive band between the liner and the inner surface of the tubular body wall. The flexible liner thus has a free medial portion between the end portions which moves inwardly against the products when vacuum is applied. A vent hole may be formed through the body ply and an outer label by way of a laser for allowing the passage of air therethrough.

Title: Database synchronization and organization system and method
Inventor: AMMAR MOSTAFA H
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: The present invention provides a "data centric" approach to updating databas es on computer systems (516) of an intermittently connected database (15d) system. In this approach, the storage and processing complexity of the database server are decoupled from the number of clients to be supported, thereby, improving the scalability of the server. Instead of focusing on the  data required by individual clients, this method tracks changes to data subsets pertaining to groups of clients. Thus, the server need only track an d record changes to these subsets of data, instead of tracking changes for individual clients. Clients download the subsets, which contain the data relevant to the group, and merges data or deletes superfluous data from the subsets. Since the server is tracking a limited set of data subsets related to groups of clients instead of the actual number of the clients, the overall scalability of the system is increased. In this system (10), client computer  systems are synchronized with a server database by dividing data to be distributed from a server database into groups (80ad) and assigning one or more of the groups to each client computer system. When a client computer system accesses the server, the client computer system sends changes made to  its local database to the server. Theserver updates its database with these changes. After making the updates to its database, the server determines whi ch groups share in the changes made, and creates modification files (86ad) for these groups. The clients download the modification files for the groups to which they are assigned.

Patent CA-2355115-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMITH KEVIN W
IPC: A61B1/015
Filed: 2000-10-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un instrument endoscopique dont la partie de la surface externe n'adopte pas une forme transversale circulaire. On obtient cette forme en plaçant des protubérances ou ailettes périphériques sur la longueur de la partie ou en donnant une forme polygonale à la périphérie de la partie. Les ailettes sont de préférence plutôt petites et n'agissent que dans une moindre mesure sur l'aire transversale de l'écoulement de fluide entre l'intérieur du canal de travail et l'instrument endoscopique. L'instrument obtenu fait preuve d'un jeu réduit tout en maintenant un écoulement de fluide adéquat dans le canal de travail. Selon un second mode de réalisation, on donne une forme transversale non circulaire à la surface intérieure de la partie de l'intérieur du canal de travail de l'endoscope en ménageant une pluralité de rainures espacées radialement et orientées vers l'intérieur ou de forme polygonale. L'endoscope ainsi obtenu réduit le jeu d'un instrument endoscopique inséré en son sein tout en maintenant un écoulement de fluide adéquat dans le canal de travail.

Title: Method and apparatus for measurement processing of satellite positioning system (sps) signals
Inventor: KRASNER NORMAN F
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2000-01-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for measurement processing of Satellite Positioning System (SPS) signals. A plurality of SPS signals from a corresponding plurality of SPS satellites are received in an SPS receiver. The signal environment corresponding to the location in which the SPS receiver is located is characterized to produce signal environment data. In one exemplary embodiment, an information source, such as a cellular network based database, is searched to retrieve the signal environment data given an approximate location of the GPS  receiver.  This approximate location may be specified by a location of a cell site which is in cellular radio communication with a cellular communication device which is co-located with the GPS receiver. One or more parameters related to signal characteristics of the satellite signals are defined. Threshold values for the parameters are determined using the signal environment data. Code phases corresponding to times of arrival of respective satellite signals from the plurality of satellites are measured.  The data representing measured times of arrival are examined using threshold values for the parameters to produce a set of times of arrival from which a location fix for the GPS  receiver is calculated. Other methods and apparatuses for other embodiments of the invention are also described.

Patent CA-2371693-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRAUN WARREN L
IPC: H04H20/67
Filed: 2000-05-22
Abstract: Interference effects between television transmitters for amplitude modulated or digital video and operating on a common allocated channel or frequency is avoided while discrimination is improved by synchronizing carrier signals for a plurality of transmitters. Booster transmitters (20, 20') for correcting coverage anomalies can operate on the same channel or frequency rather than requiring a different channel or frequency presently required in translators;  making all allocable channels available for diverse broadcast programming.  Discrimination between transmitters operating on the same channel or frequency but with potentially differing programming can be achieved with directional antennas (22, 24). Synchronization of carrier signals is achieved by frequency multiplication of a tone relayed over a satellite (18) or microwave transmission (34) channel by an integral power of two using one or more serially connected full-wave rectifier stages (80, 82, 84) and tuned filters (88).

Filed: 2002-03-21
Abstract: A monitoring system, such as used to monitor the presence and/or concentration of gases or other such fluids, includes a housing through which fluid is permitted to pass and which includes a heater element. The housing includes one or more vent hole/vent plug combinations and fluid, including gas and/or liquid, passes through the vent hole/vent plug combinations to flow into, through and/or out of the housing. A heater element is located in the housing and maintains the housing interior above the dew point to facilitate proper operation of the sensor element. The heater element, in conjunction with the vent hole/vent plug combinations, facilitates a heated-air plume through the housing to avoid the build up of moisture therein and to expose the sensor element to a steady stream of ambient atmosphere for monitoring the gas concentrations in same.
