Inventor: SUNATORI GO SIMON
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 2001-05-07
Abstract: .cndot. A text generation method for dynamically generating customised document in real time from a single source text comprises the steps of storing in memory a personal profile and a plurality of data conversion parameters, coding an input text with a plurality of tags, receiving an instruction from a user, reading the input text, finding tagged strings, converting values of the tagged strings according to the personal profile, substituting the tagged strings with converted values, removing the tags, and presenting the output text. The tagged text strings may be encapsulated in a pair of HTML/XML tags, encapsulated in a pair of special-character strings, or indicated by text colour, font or style.  This invention relates to computing, and the principal use of the invention is for text generation.

Title: Improved internet protocol packet router
Inventor: DUNN JAMES PATRICK
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: Apparatus and a method for routing packets having destination addresses in their header. The routing modules of the router are of two types: simple routing modules which can only route packets whose destination address is stored in a limited memory of the module for storing corresponding output port addresses, and default modules which are used to find the identity of an output port for routing all other packets received by the simple routing modules of the router. Advantageously, the processing load of the simple routing modules is smoothed because these modules do not have to perform the complex searching functions required to find destination addresses not readily accessible in their memory. Advantageously, the single or small number of default routing modules can have sophisticated memory and processor facilities for searching over a very large number of destination addresses and for concentrating the process of sending queries to other routers for additional information.

Patent CA-2354242-A1 (CA)
Title: Hvac controller
Inventor: LADHA NIZAR
IPC: H02M5/257
Filed: 2001-06-15
Abstract: A HVAC controller device (10) is provided which controls the power output to a resistive load, such as a water heater (2) or baseboard heater. The device is programmed to output predetermined power levels or to energize the load to predetermined temperatures during predetermined time intervals, thus taking advantage of times during the day when power usage is low, and minimizing usage of power during times when demand is high.  A voltage detection circuit monitors the supply voltage, and can increase power or temperature to the load during times of over-voltage or can disable the load during brownout or blackout conditions. Power is reduced through a convention means such as "cycle-stealing", and power can be output to the load in fractions of the maximum output power level. When the load is first activated, power is supplied in gradually increasing levels, to avoid a sudden power surge. The power controller device (10) may control a stepper motor actuating a by-pass valve, where a water heater is provided with a heater exchanger, or otherwise actuating a mixing valve.

Patent CA-2362478-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUZMA JANUSZ A
IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 1999-09-28
Abstract: An implantable electrode array (30), adapted for insertion into a human cochlea, provides improved stability of electrode contact direction. In-line electrodes (32) are spaced-apart along one side of a flexible carrier. The structure of the electrode array facilitates bending of the array with the electrode contacts on the inside of the bend, yet deters flexing or twisting of the array in other directions. The electrode contacts preferably are each made from two strips of metal (210, 220), arranged in a "T" shape (top view). During assembly, all of the "T" strips are held in position on an iron sheet (100). Two wire bundles (202, 203) are formed that pass along each side of each "T". The leg of each "T" is folded over to pinch at least one of the wires from one of the wire bundles therebetween. This pinched wire is then resistance welded to the strip. The sides of the "T" are then folded up. In one embodiment, the sides touch or nearly touch to form a ".DELTA." shape (FIG. 5A). In another embodiment, the sides are directed upwards to form a "U"  shape (FIG. 6B). The wire bundles going to more distal electrodes pass through The ".DELTA." or "U" and are engaged thereby. A flexible carrier (36), made from, e.g., silicone rubber, is molded over and around the wire bundles and folded electrode T's, preferably in a slightly curved shape. The iron sheet is chemically etched away, leaving an array of spaced-apart electrode contact areas along one edge of the flexible carrier, each of which is electrically attached to at least one wire which passes through the carrier. In one embodiment, soft shoulders (70) or bumps or ridges are formed in between each electrode contact. A soft tip (37), which in some embodiments may be enlarged into a ball (37'), and which is made from a material that is softer than the flexible carrier, is formed at a distal end of the flexible carrier (36).
