Patent CA-2570038-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WYATT WILLIAM GERALD
IPC: F25B1/00
Filed: 2005-06-10
Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for cooling heat-generating structure disposed in an environment having an ambient pressure includes providing a fluid refrigerant and reducing (22) a pressure of the refrigerant to a first sub-ambient pressure at which the refrigerant has a boiling temperature less than a temperature of the heat-generating structure (12). The method also includes bringing the refrigerant at the first sub-ambient pressure into thermal communication with the heat-generating structure (12), so that the refrigerant boils and vaporizes to thereby absorb heat from the heat-generating structure. The method further includes increasing (14) a pressure of the vaporized refrigerant above the first sub-ambient pressure to a second sub-ambient pressure.

Title: Methods and systems for multi-pattern searching
Inventor: NORTON MARC A
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2005-07-20
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for optimizing and reducing the memory requirements of state machine algorithms in pattern matching applications. Memory requirements of an Aho-Corasick algorithm are reduced in an intrusion detection system by representing the state table as three separate data structures. Memory requirements of an Aho-Corasick algorithm are also reduced by applying a banded-row sparse matrix technique to the state transition table of the state table. The pattern matching performance of the intrusion detection system is improved by performing a case insensitive search, where the characters of the test sequence are converted to uppercase as the characters are read. Testing, reveals that state transition tables with sixteen bit elements outperform state transition tables with thirty-two bit elements and do not reduce the functionality of intrusion detection systems using the Aho-Corasick algorithm.

Title: Lead management system
Inventor: LEE KIT
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2007-02-27
Abstract: The invention is a system for collecting, executing, tracking, and updating of customer service orders, or leads. The system remotely retrieves new leads from a third party database and assigns each new lead to a contractor based on criteria that can include the type of service and area where the service is required, and contractor resources and performance. The progress of each lead through completion of service is tracked and the third party database is updated accordingly. A contractor interface allows the contractor to access new leads and lead status. The system alerts a system manager to overdue leads. A system manager interface allows managers to track the status of the leads assigned to the contractors, the performance of the contractors and of the lead management system.

Abstract: A circuit interrupting device (10) has a circuit interrupter (12) with a stationary contact (26) and a moveable contact (28). The movable contact is movable relative to the stationary contact between a closed position that allows current to pass through the circuit interrupter and an open position separating the contacts and preventing current from passing through the circuit interrupter. The movable contact is controlled by a solenoid assembly (14). The movable contact is connected to a plunger (62) of the solenoid assembly by a turnbuckle (16) and weld break assembly. The turnbuckle and weld break assembly permits adjusting the contact wipe distance and generates a hammer force to break any welds between the contacts of the vacuum interrupter.

Abstract: To transmit signaling, a base station obtains signaling (e.g., ACKs) for a group of channels used for data transmission and selected from a set of channels having constraints on usage 810). The base station compresses the signaling based on the channel constraints and obtains at least one message (832) . If multiple messages are to be sent, then the assigned channels are partitioned into multiple subgroups, and the signaling for the channels in each subgroup is compressed to obtain a message for that subgroup (820,822) .  Each message is encoded at a spectral efficiency and transmitted at a power level selected for the message (824,828) . A CRC value is appended to the message(s) for error detection (826) . To receive the signaling, a terminal checks a received message with the appended CRC, decodes the message if the CRC passes, decompresses the decoded message based on the channel constraints, and extracts the signaling for an assigned channel.

IPC: B60R13/08
Filed: 2005-12-06
Abstract: An acoustical and thermally absorbent chopped strand mat (295) formed of thermoplastic bonding materials and bundles of reinforcing fibers is provided.  The reinforcing fibers are preferably wet use chopped strand glass fibers (WUCS). The thermoplastic bonding materials may be any thermoplastic or thermosetting material having a melting point less than the reinforcing fiber.  The chopped strand mat may be formed by partially opening the WUCS fibers and filamentizing the thermoplastic bonding materials, blending the reinforcement and thermoplastic bonding fibers, forming the reinforcement and thermoplastic bonding fibers into a sheet, and bonding the sheet. During bonding, the sheet is heated to a temperature above the melting point of the thermoplastic bonding fibers but below the temperature of the glass fibers. The melted thermoplastic bonding fibers act as a glue to hold the glass fibers in bundles. The chopped strand mat thus formed may be used as a reinforcement material in automotive applications.

Title: Hot start polymerase reaction using a thermolabile blocker
Inventor: BORNS MICHAEL
IPC: C12N9/12
Filed: 2006-01-04
Abstract: The invention relates to compositions, methods, and kits for hot start polynucleotide synthesis, including extension of primed polynucleotide templates and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Hot start is provided by a thermally inactivated blocking polymerase protein that binds primed polynucleotide templates and prevents their access to a thermostable nucleic acid polymerase. High temperatures employed in the synthesis reaction cause the blocking polymerase to denature, thereby permitting the action of a thermostable processive polymerase. Compositions of the invention include a specific blocking polymerase protein which is a mutant of the Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase. The mutant is essentially devoid of polymerase activity, processivity, and 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. Use of the thermally inactivated blocking polymerase together with a thermostable polymerase reduces non-specific priming and accumulation of unwanted amplification products, increasing the specificity and sensitivity of the synthesis reaction.

Patent CA-2599413-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITE JASON
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2006-03-02
Abstract: An implant assembly is implanted in vivo within a vascular system in which a vessel divides at a furcation into two sub-vessels, with smaller diameters. An implant assembly is released into a vessel e.g. a pulmonary arterial vessel.  The assembly has a diameter smaller than or substantially equal to the inner diameter of the vessel and larger than the inner diameters of the sub-vessels.  The implant assembly moves downstream along with the blood flow. Reaching the furcation where the vessel divides, the implant assembly is too large and not sufficiently compliant to fit through either of the smaller branch vessels, thus lodges at the furcation, prevented from moving downstream by it's size and stiffness and upstream by the blood flow. Alternatively, the implant assembly, upon release, travels down a narrowing vessel until an interference fit is created between the anchor structure and the vessel wall, thereby preventing further distal movement.
