Patent CA-2502812-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and device for penetrating film-type substrates
Inventor: OSWALD WOLFGANG
IPC: B65H3/28
Filed: 2003-10-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for separating film layers (8), which consist of different materials and are joined together in an air-tight manner by adhesion, a material bond or similar forms of bonding, in a simple manner. In this case, separation means that only one respective layer (18) is pierced and raised by rotation by means of a screw-type thread (16), allowing a gaseous medium, (e.g. air) or liquid medium, (e.g. water) medium to be introduced into the gap that has been created between said layer and the second film layer (17). The method and the device are characterised in that they are simple and can be applied in any position on the film workpieces. No additional openings, distances, valves or similar in the films therefore need to be considered and no prior material treatment, (introduction of separation elements) is required in order to subsequently fill bags that are produced in this manner. Production costs are thus minimised, handling times are reduced and material expenditure or the creation of composites by the introduction of other materials is avoided.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting overlapped substrates
Inventor: BAYDIN DMITRO
IPC: G07D7/12
Filed: 2005-06-28
Abstract: An apparatus and method for detection of overlapped substrates, that are at least opaque, analyses a high frequency component caused by speckle for a sudden drop therein.

Patent CA-2521474-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SWAMINATHAN ARUN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2004-04-01
Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates security-enabled content caching. The system operates by first receiving a request from a user at a cache server for restricted content, wherein the cache server stores content for an application server. Next, the system determines if the restricted content is located on the cache server. If so, the system determines if the user is authorized to access the restricted content. If the user is authorized to access the restricted content, the system provides the restricted content to the user from the cache server.  Providing the restricted content from the cache server eliminates the time consuming operations involved in requesting and receiving the restricted content from the application server.
