Patent CA-2356132-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PALLMANN WILHELM
IPC: B27L11/02
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: A device for comminuting feed material has a rotary blade ring rotating about an axis of rotation. A comminution chamber is enclosed by the rotary blade ring and receives the feed material in an axial direction parallel to the axis of rotation. A counter abutment projects in the axial direction into the comminution chamber. The rotary blade ring is moveable in a radial advancing direction against the counter abutment and applies a pressing force relative to the counter abutment to effect comminution of the feed material in a working position of the counter abutment. The counter abutment has an effective surface facing the feed material and the effective surface is supported so as to be moveable such that, upon surpassing a predetermined value of the pressing force, at least the effective surface performs an escape movement relative to the rotary blade ring in an escape direction.

Title: Apparatus, computer system and computer program for determining a cardio-vascular parameter
Inventor: BURGER THORSTEN
IPC: A61B5/029
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: A computer system (104) is connected to an injection means (107) to inject at a first place (101) a bolus warmer or colder than patient's blood. The travelling temperature deviation thus introduced to the patient's vascular system (103) passes the pulmonary circulation (111), where an extravascular thermovolume (112) may be present. When the temperature deviation reaches the second place (102), where blood temperature is measured by a sensor device (117) connected to the computer system (104), it is recorded as Thermodilution Curve (15), from which the computer system (104) determines an extravascular thermovolume estimate. Depending on that result the computer system (104) calculates a new amount of bolus to be injected by the injection means (107). The higher the extravascular thermovolume estimate, the higher the new amount of bolus. The new travelling temperature deviation thus introduced to patient's vascular system (103) eventually reaches the second place (102), where it is recorded as an improved Thermodilution Curve (17) from which cardio-vascular parameters of improved accuracy are derived by the computer system (104).

Title: Grammar template query system
Inventor: WARTHEN DAVID
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-02-24
Abstract: An information server directs users of the information server to desired sources of information where the desired sources of information are determined, at least in part, based on user input. The information server includes a query input processor, a question processor and an answer processor. The query input processor is used for accepting an initial user query. The question processor processes the initial user query to identify a set of possible well-formed questions selected from the question database, where a well-formed question is a question in the database that is coupled to at least one answer reference. The answer reference is typically either an answer or a pointer to a possible location of an answer. In a specific embodiment, the information server is coupled to the Internet so that users can pose questions using a Web browser from any Internet-connected device. In some systems, the question processor includes a tokenizer for tokenizing the initial user query into a list of words, a parser for generating a syntactic structure from the list of words, a normalizer for reducing the syntactic structure to a canonical syntactic structure, and a matcher for matching the canonical syntactic structure against a semantic network to obtain a weighted list of well-formed questions representative of possible semantic meanings for the initial user query.

Title: Method and system for managing a real time bill of materials
Inventor: SKIDMORE ROGER R
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2000-05-11
Abstract: An automated method for quickly generating a complete bill of materials and total cost information in real time. A design engineer builds a model of the desired wireless communications system (106) and specifies each component necessary to provide sufficient or optimal system performance. A parts list is maintained, in real time, that contains a definition of each system component and its associated performance and cost parameters. As the user changes wireless system designs through a series of "what-if" scenarios, components are replaced with substitute components, cable lengths are modified, antenna systems and base station parameters are re-designed and moved to alternate locations, etc. The bill of materials is automatically updated and component costs and total system costs are immediately available to the design engineer.  The designer may choose to swap components for less expensive components or may investigate several alternate radio frequency distribution and antenna schemes, etc. The performance characteristics of the system are automatically updated.

Title: Detection of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus
Inventor: OVERTURF KENNETH E
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-07-02
Abstract: A real-time PCR method for detecting and quantifying the presence or absence of Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) in a sample. The method includes the steps of combining with a reverse-transcribed test sample a pair of PCR primers that bind to a cDNA that has been reverse transcribed from a gene of IHNV and a labeled probe that also binds to the cDNA, and performing one or more rounds of PCR on the sample.      The probe undergoes a change with each round of amplification of nucleic acid during the PCR reaction, which change causes a change in the signal provided by the label, thus permitting detection of a nucleic acid that is substantially the same as the cDNA, thus providing a detection and, if desired, a quantification, of the level of the IHNV gene in the sample.

Title: Unauthorised modification of values stored in flash memory
Inventor: WALMSLEY SIMON ROBERT
IPC: G11C16/22
Filed: 2001-02-15
Abstract: The invention is a method and system in which an authentication chip having secret information stored within it, including secret data stored in multi-level flash memory, is protected from unauthorised modification of values stored in the flash memory. The secret information is stored using an internal command and can only be accessed by one or more further commands. Secret data in the information is stored in intermediate states of the multi-level flash memory between the minimum and maximum voltage level states. A validity check is performed on secret data items before allowing them to be read out by a command accessing them. The validity check involves calculation of a checksum and comparison of the result with a checksum stored using the internal command as part of the secret information.
