Patent CA-2368282-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOVACS LLOYD
IPC: B65B9/20
Filed: 2002-01-17
Abstract: A stripping/sealing assembly and method for a vertical form, fill and seal machine. The stripping assembly comprises a rotatable master axis including a pair of oppositely rotating primary axes. A stripper may be associated with each of the primary axes, each stripper being located in a mount. A slave axis, comprising a pair of rotatable cranks mounted on central axes, is provided for displacement of the mounts in unison toward end away from the primary axes during rotation. By judicious retarding and then accelerating of the rotation of the cranks is relation to tho primary axes, the stripper/sealer dies traverse linear paths along the tubular film to strip and seal the tubular film. The method provides adjustable seal dwell time, stripping and seal cooling time all programmable in software.

Title: Waste treatment with control over biological solids
Inventor: MIKLOS DANIEL R
IPC: C02F3/00
Filed: 2002-02-18
Abstract: Waste-treatment processes are enhanced through generation and introduction of specific biological populations customized to perform or favor specific tasks either during the main process, or for solids minimization purposes in a post-treatment process. These bacteria may be grown from specialized mixes of activated sludge and waste influent by exposing these materials to controlled environments (e.g., in an off-line treatment area). They may then be added back to the main process to perform certain tasks such as converting particulate cBOD into soluble cBOD for utilization, to reduce high solids yield organisms by supplementing the population with low yield organisms, to improve nitrification/denitrification efficiency, or to disfavor filamentous biology such as Norcardia sp..

Inventor: ANDRADE-GORDON PATRICIA
IPC: C12N15/62
Filed: 2000-04-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne les séquences d'ADN codant un système de vecteurs d'expression qui permettra, grâce à une protéolyse limitée, l'activation du précurseur zymogène exprimé de protéases de la sérine (S1) d'une manière reproductible et hautement contrôlée. Traitée, la protéine exprimée, une fois activée, est rendue dans une forme appropriée pour mesurer l'activité catalytique, laquelle, sous la forme activée, est souvent une représentation plus précise du produit génique de la protéase S1 mature par rapport au précurseur zymogène non traité. Cette série de constructions d'activation zymogène représente donc un système important d'analyse et de caractérisation de produits géniques de la protéase de la sérine.

Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: A heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) device (104) which includes both heating and cooling operating modes provides an easy-to-use interface (110) for selecting the operating parameters of the device (104). The interface (110) allows the input of a setpoint temperature at which the HVAC device (104) conditions the ambient temperature of a space (102). A mode switch-over algorithm (200) uses the setpoint temperature, the sensed temperature from the conditioned space, and prestored threshold values that depend on the device's operating capacities, to determine when to change the device between heating and cooling modes. Also, within each of the respective modes, a heating (300) or cooling (400) algorithm controls the engaging and disengaging of the heating and cooling elements of the device (104) to maintain the temperature of the conditioned space (102) within a desired comfort zone.

Title: Conditional access information arrangement
Inventor: TAMER GREGORY GEORGE
IPC: H04N21/435
Filed: 1995-03-15
Abstract: Apparatus in a receiver, for processing transmitted entitlement control information, includes a packet transport processor for selecting signal packets having payloads containing a conditional access payload header and a remaining payload of entitlement data. Respective payload headers include groups of bytes which are coded in a manner to allow or disallow the respective receiver from processing the entitlement data. A conditional access filter preprogrammed with a subscriber specific conditional access codeword examines respective byte groupings of the conditional access header for a match with the subscriber specific conditional access codeword. Only if a match occurs is the processor permitted to process the entitlement data. The entitlement data is thereafter utilized to generate decryption keys for descrambling portions of the transmitted signal.
Patent CA-2387875-A1 (CA)
Title: Sulfur dioxide plant
Inventor: PEREZ GARCIA JAVIER ANGEL
IPC: C01B17/54
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: Production of sulfur dioxide by means of the combustion of sulfur and pure oxygen in a closed system that produces a high yield in the recovery of SO2 and reduces environmental contamination to levels below the standard requirements.        Sulfur dioxide is produced by burning sulfur and pure oxygen diluted in recirculated combustive gas that has been previously cooled in order to maintain combustion at less than 1200°C. The gaseous mix thus obtained would be comprised of approximately 16% V/V oxygen and 84% V/V of SO2. This latter percentage makes it very easy to liquefy SO2 so that a 95% SO2 recovery efficiency would be obtained at -10°C. The non-liquefied gas is recirculated in a closed system. The SO2 content in the 84% V/V SO2 gas could even be liquefied at 20°C, at 5 bar, thus increasing the system's efficiency even further.

Patent CA-2394517-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARCHAND DEAN
IPC: H04M17/00
Filed: 2000-12-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'interception d'appels (CIP) concernant des appels internationaux effectués par carte d'appel d'un pays de départ (102), vers un pays de destination où le nombre de fraudes est élevé. Lorsqu'un appel placé au moyen d'une carte d'appel aboutit à un lieu où le nombre de fraudes est élevé, il est filtré dans un premier temps relativement à une base de données (120) pour déterminer si le lieu de destination est un pays où le nombre de fraudes est élevé. Indépendamment du processus de filtrage, l'appel est acheminé vers un opérateur de premier niveau qui vérifie les informations relatives au compte de facturation (130) de l'appelant afin de déterminer si ce dernier est un usager autorisé. Cette vérification s'effectue sur la base du nom commercial, de l'adresse, du code postal et du numéro de téléphone du client. Une fois l'étape de vérification franchie avec succès, le procédé CIP affranchit automatiquement la carte d'appel de toute procédure d'interception ultérieure (135). Si l'appelant échoue à l'examen de vérification, le procédé CIP place automatiquement la carte d'appel dans un mode appelé "mode de verrouillage de la carte" (145).
