Patent CA-2398714-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NICOLETTA JOHANNA PEARL RUTH
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2001-11-30
Abstract: A method and system enables distributed transaction oriented telephony functionality for telephony services in a broadband packet network. Exemplary distributed transaction oriented telephony functionality includes Intelligent Network (IN) and Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) functionality accessed through the legacy Common Channel Signaling (CCS) network using transaction-based messaging protocols, such as Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP) and/or Transaction Capability Application Part (TCAP) protocols. A functional content of a transaction message, such as a TCAP message, is encapsulated in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) of the broadband packet network. The PDU is forwarded through the broadband packet network to a second network element. The functionality is then invoked using the encapsulated transaction message functional content. In preferred embodiments the PDU is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) envelope, into which TCAP message functional content can be mapped.

The resultant composite obtains a pliability, compressibility, and drape that is similar to that of leather and a surface that is suitable for transfer or film-coating to produce artificial leather. The composite may be utilized as upholstery fabric in furniture or in automobiles, apparel, and the like.

Patent CA-2416443-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for transmitting data in the access area
Inventor: GIECK REINER
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: In state of the art baseband methods, the range in the access area decreases  with increasing transmission speed. When a limit is reached with a predetermined distance and a selected speed, it is no longer possible to change over to an even greater speed. Otherwise, the synchronism between the  transmitter and receiver is lost. The invention resolves this deficiency by combining the features of broadband technology with an acknowledged message exchange by means of which the parameters can be controlled between the transmitter and the receiver.

Title: Catalysts for olefin polymerization
Inventor: LIU JIA-CHU
IPC: C07F7/00
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: A method for making single-site catalysts useful for olefin polymerization is disclosed. A nitrogen-functional heterocycle is first deprotonated with an alkyllithium compound, followed by reaction of this anionic ligand precursor with about 0.5 equivalents of a Group 4 transition metal tetrahalide in a hydrocarbon solvent at a temperature greater than about 10~C to give an organometallic complex-containing mixture.

Title: Dalle de moquette pouvant etre placee de seize manieres differentes
Inventor: DANIEL SYDNEY D
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 2002-01-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des dalles de moquette qui ont des motifs et des combinaisons de couleurs qui ne nécessitent pas d'orienter les dalles les unes par rapport aux autres. Les dalles présentent une ambiguïté orthogonale, ce qui signifie qu'elles peuvent être placées dans n'importe quelle orientation côte-à-côte par rapport aux dalles adjacentes sans sembler mal placées pour l'observateur ordinaire et en présentant même un aspect de continuité comme une moquette grande largeur. Chaque dalle comporte des motifs de formes qui ont certains côtés droits et qui semblent être positionnés de manière aléatoire mais cependant avec une orientation telle que certains côtés droits sont parallèles aux côtés des dalles de moquette. Les formes sont constituées d'une couleur ou d'une combinaison de couleurs de telle sorte que les formes adjacentes présentes sur chaque dalle aient au moins une couleur en commun. En outre, chaque dalle a au moins une couleur en commun avec chaque autre dalle, de sorte que lorsque les dalles sont posées, les couleurs des dalles adjacentes soient coordonnées. Toutes les couleurs ont des intensités similaires de sorte qu'aucune couleur n'est significativement remarquable par rapport aux autres. En outre, étant donné que le motif présent sur chaque dalle semble aléatoire, la disposition des dalles sur le sol selon n'importe quelle orientation juxtaposée crée simplement un motif plus grand, apparemment aléatoire, qui rend impossible d'avoir l'impression qu'une dalle, quelle qu'elle soit, est mal placée.
