Patent CA-2224936-A1 (CA)
Title: Methodology and computer-based tools for design, production and sales of customized switchboards
Inventor: NICK SASCHA
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: An in-depth review of the switchboard business, including customer interviews, revealed that customer specifications were more complex than customer needs.          Customer needs were quantified, and a reduced set of standard switchboard configuration classes was selected so that about 80% of customer orders based on actual customer needs could be satisfied by the standard switchboard configuration classes, and the remaining orders would be satisfied by custom designed switchboards.  Major components in the standard switchboards were themselves standardized.          A standard switchboard, for example, has a continuous current capacity of no more than 4000 Amps, a maximum voltage rating of 480 Vac, a short circuit current rating of no more than 200 kA, and an aluminum or copper bus.  The manufacture of the standard switchboards was optimized for a one-day manufacturing cycle and separated from the manufacture of the custom designed switchboards.  A sales office and manufacturing plant roll-out schedule was implemented and managed by computer-based spreadsheet tools.          A switchboard configuration computer program module was designed and interfaced between a product selector and a materials management (MRP) system in order to automate the process of entering orders, designing standard switchboards, ordering parts, and scheduling assembly of standard switchboards.

Title: High resolution ultrasonic imaging through interpolation of received scanline data
Inventor: COOLEY CLIFFORD R
IPC: A61B8/00
Filed: 1998-02-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for interpolating image lines from ultrasonically obtained scanlines of an image region.  The interpolated lines are preferably formed one-quarter and three-quarters of the distance between each pair of received scanlines by combining weighted samples of the adjacent scanlines in proportion to their distances from the interpolated lines.  The received scanlines are preferably formed by a beamformer which samples the received lines at quadrature phases of the scanhead center frequency and filters the samples by combining successive samples of a related phase. The image lines are scan converted by computing a grid of weighted values between each pair of image lines, and using the closest value for each pixel in the ultrasound image.

IPC: B01J8/04
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: Apparatus and method to improve flow of fluid through an annular bed in a radial flow treatment vessel. An elongated annular baffle is disposed in the reactor adjacent the bed to impart generally U-shaped flow to the fluid either prior to entering or after it exits the bed thus achieving an overall serpentine or reverse U-shaped flow pattern as the fluid proceeds from an entry port to an exit port in the reactor. Means are provided in the baffle to permit minor amounts offluid to bypass the generally U-shaped flow path in order to correct fluid flow maldistribution through the bed that is attributed to frictional pressure drop in the flow channels adjacent to the bed. A vessel according to the invention can be operated with fluid flow through the vessel in either direction.

Abstract: An image signal processor for use in an imaging system. Each field of an input image signal is stored in a memory. If the picture blurring is not within a predetermined range, a zoom controller disables an optical zoom-in operation and determines the size of a reduced-size readout frame such that the picture blurring is just fit in a predetermined range. On receiving the size, an address genetator generates addresses to cause the pixels to be read out of the reduced-size readout frame, in the memory, which is located at a position shifted from the center of the field by the PV vector and which has the reduced size. In response to receiving the size of the reduced-size readout frame, the interpolator interpolates the read out pixels such that the read out pixels of the reduced-size are magnified up to the predetermined output size.

Patent CA-2242960-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GYURIS JENO
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 1997-01-17
Abstract: The present invention pertains to novel inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), particularly CDK/cyclin complexes, which inhibitors can be used to control proliferation and/or differentiation of cells in which the inhibitors are introduced. More specifically, the inhibitors of the invention are chimeric proteins which include CDK-binding motifs from two or more different proteins. For example, the subject chimeric proteins can be generated from the in-frame fusion of coding sequences from two different CDK inhibitor proteins, such as may be derived from fusion of coding sequences for an INK4 protein and coding sequences for a CIP protein. Chimeric proteins of the present invention have been observed to be more potent inhibitors of cyclin/CDK complexes than were either of the portions of the chimeric protein individually.
