Title: Coded-light dual-view profile scanner
Inventor: HERMARY ALEXANDER THOMAS
IPC: G01N21/00
Filed: 2004-03-18
Abstract: A scan head for a surface profile scanner includes two spaced laser projectors and two spaced CCD cameras, aligned with one another, for scanning an object such as a log or board moving along a sawmill production line and for determining the location of points on the surface of the scanned object, thereby generating data from which the surface profile of the object can be computed. For log scanning, the projectors both project coded light patterns.  For board scanning, one projector projects a coded light pattern and the other a fan of uncoded light. The lasers and cameras are grouped in two pairs, one pair at each end of the scan head, preferably with the cameras bracketing the lasers, such that four sets of reflection data are available, through time-division multiplexing, in order to enable recognition of the image of the pattern reflected from the object and to optimize data readings form triangulation (to calculate the distances from the scan head to a series of points on the object). In the case of board scanning, the uncoded light image may be used for gray-scale image generation, board edge detection, and reflectivity compensation.

Title: Out-of-sequence endorsement processing in insurance policy management system
Inventor: KELLINGTON JOHN S
IPC: G06Q40/02
Filed: 2004-03-26
Abstract: An apparatus, prograrn product and method add out-of-sequence endorsements to an insurance policy managed by a policy management system (10) in such a manner that the financial and legal effects of those endorsements are accounted for in an automated fashion. In particular, in response to receiving input data for a new endorsement for an insurance policy that has an effective date that is earlier than at least one existing endorsement applied to the insurance policy, the insurance policy is updated in an automated fashion to rescind the at least one existing endorsement from the insurance policy prior to applying the new endorsement to the insurance policy. Then, after the new endorsement has been applied to the insurance policy, the existing endorsement is then reapplied to the insurance policy.

Patent CA-2519616-A1 (CA)
Title: Computation of wall thickness
Inventor: YUAN CHUN
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: A method for automatic vessel wall thickness measurement at any point along the perimeter of either luminal or outer vessel wall boundaries. The method employs both Delaunay triangulation and multiresolution tiling. The MaxMin angle property of the Delaunay triangulation is used to define the minimum energy function to calculate thickness. Multiresolution tiling is employed to enable the MaxMin angle lemma to be determined. The triangulation MaxMin angle lemma enables a minimal energy function to be defined based on triangulation angles, providing a stable and consistent geometrical computation. Additional morphological indexes can be assessed to achieve comprehensive quantification of vascular morphology. For example, based on the wall thickness, a set of vascular shape descriptors can be developed to distinguish different types of plaque morphology at different parts of a vessel wall.
Patent CA-2521543-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMOS ROGERIO T
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2004-03-22
Abstract: A method of monitoring fluid flow uses an optical fibre having a heatable coating. The fibre is disposed within flowing fluid, and the heatable coating heated so that heat is transferred from the coating to the fluid. Optical measurements of the temperature of the heatable coating are made, where the temperature of the heatable coating depends on the flow velocity of the flowing fluid, and the temperature measurement is used to derive information about the flow. The coating may be an electrically resistive layer on the outer surface of the fibre, that is heated by passing electric current through it. This allows distributed flow measurements to be made. Alternatively, discrete measurements can be made if the coating is provided as a thin film layer on an end facet of the fibre. The coating is heated by directing light at a wavelength absorbed by the thin film material along the fibre.

Patent CA-2533208-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUZOWSKI PAMELA LYNN
IPC: A23C19/068
Filed: 2006-01-16
Abstract: The invention is directed to an improved process of producing mozzarella-type cheese. The process starts with a liquid dairy substrate that is cultured and coagulated. The coagulated dairy substrate is cut, and the curds are separated from the whey and collected to form a base curd. The base curd is blended with a farinaceous material. The base curd/farinaceous material blend is then cooked in a cooker or cooker/stretcher (preferably in a lay-down cooker). The cheese mass is then cooled to produce the mozzarella-type cheese. The blending of the farinaceous material with the base curd before cooking/stretching allows it to act as a fat mimetic, which imparts a product characteristic in reduced-fat or fat-free cheese resembling a full-fat product, such as improved mouthfeel. It also serves to improve moisture binding in the product and results in a firmer cheese which may be easier to shred, and produces a more homogenous product.
