Patent CA-2719369-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCLEAN TIMOTHY A
IPC: G07F7/00
Filed: 2010-11-01
Abstract: A self-service terminal for a product/service cooperates with an application platform accessible by a consumer's mobile device. The terminal assigns an active status to at least one transaction code for a period of time and compares any code manually entered at the terminal during that time against the active code(s) to dispense the product/service in case of a match. In response to a request from the mobile device, an authorized code is sent from the platform to the mobile device to enable the consumer's manual entry of the authorized code at the terminal. The platform may generate the authorized code and forwarded it to the terminal for storage as an active code, or may select it from among codes that are stored on the platform and known to match codes currently in an active state at the terminal based on a predetermined schedule for activating different groups of codes

Abstract: Method and device for the determination of a thickness of a crosssection (S) of a tree trunk (30) received in a harvesting assembly (10) comprising a pair of opposite feed wheels (14) engaging with the tree trunk and a delimbing knife (18) abutting against the tree trunk. The mutual position of the feed wheels is detected as a measure of a transverse dimension (D1) of the cross-section of the tree trunk. The position of the delimbing knife (18) in relation to an abutment surface (22) of the tree trunk opposite thereto is detected as a measure of an additional transverse dimension (D2) of the cross-section (S) of the tree trunk, which additional transverse dimension forms an essentially right angle with the first-mentioned transverse dimension. The thickness of the cross-section (S) of the tree trunk is calculated based on the two measures of the transverse dimensions (D1, D2).

Abstract: Techniques for routing an emergency call originated by a mobile station via a femto access point (FAP) in a wireless network and for locating the mobile station are described. In an aspect, the emergency call may be routed to an appropriate emergency center based on location information for the FAP. In one design, the location information for the FAP may include a macro cell identity (ID) and/or a macro Mobile Switching Center (MSC) ID determined based on the FAP location. The macro cell ID and/or the macro MSC ID may be as-signed to the FAP and used to access a database, which may store routing information for emergency centers versus cell IDs and MSC IDs. In another design, the location information for the FAP may include a lo-cation estimate for the FAP. The location estimate may be used to access a geographic database, which may store routing information for emergency centers for different geographic areas.

Abstract: The heat recuperation system for a motor eliminates the conventional cooling system and replaces it with a system, which provides cooling for the motor and usable energy from the waste heat produced by the motor. The motor is enclosed in a thermally insulated pressure box, which is partially filled with a cooling liquid that captures motor's heat, evaporates and drives a turbine. The turbine then drives a generator. The waste heat is therefore used to generate usable electrical and/or mechanical power while the system is providing necessary cooling to the motor.

Abstract: Devices and treatments for various joint conditions include a resilient elongate orthopedic device inserted into a joint space using a suture. The suture is passed through the joint space and used to pull the orthopedic device into the joint space.  The suture may be using a percutaneously inserted needle or other type of needle-based delivery instrument. The resilient elongate orthopedic device may be restrained to a reduced profile that permits minimally invasive implantation, but assume an enlarged profile when positioned at an implantation site. To facilitate insertion of the orthopedic device through a minimally invasive or limited access procedure, a delivery system may be used to support and orient the orthopedic device during implantation. In some instances, the delivery system may also reduce the delivery profile of the device for insertion through a minimally invasive or lim-ited access procedure.

Abstract: The methods and reagents described herein can be used to shorten incubation times in hybridization assays. As demonstrated in the examples, we have identified specific sulfonic acid polymers and hybridization conditions that lead to significantly shorter incubation times (e.g., signals after three hours that are comparable to signals that could traditionally only be obtained after overnight incubation). In some embodiments, shorter incubation times are achieved by adding the sulfonic acid polymer(s) during the hybridization process. Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, shorter incubation times are achieved via changes to the hybridizing conditions, e.g., by reducing the hybridization volume, increasing the salt concentration, and/or increasing the probe concentration (capture extender probe and/or label extender probe).
