Title: Substance delivery via a rotating microabrading surface
Inventor: LASTOVICH ALEXANDER G
IPC: A61M31/00
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: A method and device for the delivery of a substance into skin via the rotational movement of a microabrader device reduces the effects of operator variability. The method includes applying a substance to an area of a patient's skin through the rotational movement of microprotrusions. The movement of the microprotrusions can be imparted by a spring device or the like present in the microabrader device or the motion of the operator through the handle of the microabrader device. The rotational motion localizes the administration of the drug or vaccine dosage in the abraded skin area. The device can include means for monitoring pressure of the device against the skin and thereby promote consistency between applications and control of penetration depth. The substance, drug or vaccine may be placed on the microprotrusions and a reconstituting liquid included in the microabrader device.

Title: Method for the high accuracy geolocation of outdoor mobile emitters of cdma cellular systems
Inventor: BROUSSEAU NICOLE
IPC: H04B7/216
Filed: 2005-02-17
Abstract: A high-accuracy method for the geolocation, without the collaboration of the network, of outdoor mobile emitters of a CDMA cellular system, based on the ability to distinguishing between line-of sight and reflected signals. The method employs time-of flight and angle-of arrival information in order to determine whether a signal received by each of two or more interceptors situated at different locations is line-of-sight or reflected. Time-of flight information is obtained with the aid of the reverse link of a mobile of interest. At those instances in time when the signal received at two or more interceptors is line-of sight, the location of the mobile can be accurately determined using conventional direction-finding techniques. Since the signal received by an interceptor from a mobile may be very weak, adaptive threshold digital signal processing techniques may be employed to control the probability of detection and the probability of false alarms.

Title: System and method for a user interface that provides contact-based sharing of resources
Inventor: BYBEE ANDREW
IPC: G06F3/0486
Filed: 2004-07-29
Abstract: A centralized user interface provides for sharing resources between a user and a contact that the user interface is centered around. When the user opens the view of the contact record, the user is provided with a section corresponding to resources shared by the user with the contact and another section for resources shared by the contact with the user. Accordingly, a user accesses a single location for sharing resources rather than managing multiple folders or multiple communication between the user and the contact.

Patent CA-2507859-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FREICHEL THOMAS
IPC: B27N3/14
Filed: 2005-05-18
Abstract: A device for feeding wood chips to a processing unit, comprises a deflection surface in the device, that extends into a direct delivery path of the wood chips, a delivery unit for delivering air through at least one air admission opening in the deflection surface, and at least one air outlet opening in the device, the opening being positioned in the direction of air flow. The deflection surface ensures that the wood chips are held up at this point during the transport, so that the dwell time of the wood chips is extended. Because air is delivered through the deflection surface, the wood dust is swirled between the wood chips. This swirled wood dust is taken away along with the air blown in through the air outlet opening. This allows for a substantial reduction in the amount of wood dust in the wood chips during the further processing.

Filed: 2004-05-07
Abstract: A web making machine (108) is monitored to identify at least one cross-machine direction (CD) actuator (126) that is developing local mapping problems. The identified CD actuator and a segment of surrounding actuators are probed to determine a performance curve (227) for the actuator. The center of an insensitivity region of the performance curve is selected as an optimal mapping alignment setting for the identified actuator with the setting for the actuator being updated. Global smoothing may also be accomplished by probing a global smoothness factor to generate a corresponding performance curve that is then similarly used to select an optimal value for the smoothness factor.
