Patent CA-2424441-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOULANGER DENIS
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: An apparatus for sensing position data of a light pattern created by a known light source on an object, comprising an optical. system for collecting an incident light beam of the light pattern and transmitting the incident light beam to a beam splitter. The beam splitter has a known reflection/transmission ratio, such that the incident light beam from the light pattern received on the surface of the beam splitter results in a transmission channel, transmitted through the beam splitter, and a reflective channel, reflected from the beam splitter, with intensities of the transmission channel and the reflective channel varying as a function of a position of the incident light beam on the surface of the beam splitter. Detectors detect the intensities of the reflective channel and of the transmission channels. Dimensions of points of the light pattern on the object are calculable as a function of the intensity of the reflective channel and of the intensity of the transmission channel.

Abstract: The instant invention is a method and apparatus for assembling two hinge leaves. The apparatus includes an assembly for feeding a predetermined length of a wire pintle into a shear assembly. The shear assembly cuts the wire pintle to a specified length and locates the wire in a channel. Substantially simultaneously with the shearing ofthe wire, apunch and die assembly adjacent the shear assembly locates the two leaves of the hinge such that the barrels of the hinge are aligned.  Once in position, a linear actuator drives the sheared length of wire pintle into the aligned hinge barrels to couple the two hinge leaves together. Once the pintle has been inserted, staking pins within the punch and die assembly impact select ones of the hinge barrels to keep the pintle in place. Also, disclosed is a novel method of manufacturing the rivo hinge leaves.

Patent CA-2444511-A1 (CA)
Title: A method of mounting a sensor arrangement in a tubular member, and use of the method
Inventor: ANDERSEN MARTIN
IPC: F16L11/127
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: For use in the monitoring of a tubular member (1) having at least a helically wound reinforcement layer (10), the invention provides a method of mounting a sensor arrangement (17, 18), wherein the reinforcement layer is formed with a groove (16) which is filled with a liquid material (19), such as an epoxy type, and wherein the sensor arrangement is passed into the liquid material by means of a pressure applied by a roller prior to the solidification of the liquid material. In a preferred embodiment, the groove is formed in the reinforcement layer before this is helically wound on the tubular member.  Hereby, the sensor arrangement is arranged well-protected without any risk of damage, which may e.g. occur if the tubular member is of the unbonded type, where the reinforcement layer may consist of two layers that may move relative to each other. Furthermore, the sensor arrangement is protected against the external mechanical impacts that may occur if the groove is provided in a reinforcement layer which is freely exposed to the surroundings. The invention is particular suitable for tubular members, including umbilicals that are used for the recovery, refining and transport of oil and gasses.

Title: A system for processing healthcare related event information for use in scheduling performance of tasks
Inventor: BRANDT SAMUEL I
IPC: G16H40/20
Filed: 2002-07-24
Abstract: A system and user interface integrates and processes event associated messages affecting healthcare delivered to a patient and supports creation, initiation and modification of currently operating workflow processes involving processing of event messages. A method for processing an event representing a change in circumstances potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient involves receiving a message identifying an event potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient. Predetermined rules are applied to interpret the identified event to determine particular tasks to be performed in response to occurrence of the identified event. The particular tasks are scheduled to be performed by at least one individual in response to the occurrence of the identified event. In addition a database containing records indicating active process instances is searched to identify active process instances of a target process to be replaced by a process comprising the particular tasks. Also a parameter associated with an event is stored at a location available for access by multiple different process task sequences

Title: Focus management using in-air points
Inventor: GEORGE SAM
IPC: F16M11/12
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: Stylus "focus" designates or establishes an element or area of a computer interface to receive input (e.g., such as electronic ink). Focus may be used, for example , to prepare the associated element to receive input by "waking" the system from a "stand-by" mode; by triggering increased digitizer polling frequency; by setting up dat a structures or allocating memory resources to receive input; retrieving data relating to the input or characteristics thereof; etc. Systems, methods, and computer- readable media for managing stylus focus may include: (a) receiving input indicating that a stylus is located proximate a digitizer; and (b) providing focus to a contro l element corresponding to the stylus location, e.g., when the stylus is located proximate to and/or in contact with the digitizer. If desired, stylus focus may be maintained separate from and/or concurrent with mouse and/or keyboard focus. Additionally, such systems and methods may accept input from multiple styli and independently and concurrently provide stylus focus with respect to control elements corresponding to the location of each stylus.
