Title: Systeme et procede permettant d'etablir des communications d'appels longue distance au moyen d'une application de bureau
Inventor: LANG ALEXANDER C
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2001-08-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'établir une communication longue distance entre des stations (10, 20) de communication, à travers un RTPC (200). Dans ce système et ce procédé, une demande de communication est lancée à partir d'une application (40) de bureau conçue pour fonctionner localement sur un poste (30) de travail utilisateur. Cette application de bureau transmet l'information de communication à un serveur (60) de fournisseur de service longue distance, sans qu'un navigateur Web ne soit sollicité lorsqu'une telle demande est lancée par un utilisateur. L'information concernant la communication est traitée par le serveur du fournisseur de service longue distance et un paquet de données est envoyé à un contrôleur (70) d'appel afin d'établir une communication dans le RTPC via un commutateur (80) interurbain à multiplexage temporel (TDM). La communication avec le serveur du fournisseur de service longue distance est établie automatiquement par l'application de bureau lorsqu'une demande est envoyée, puis libérée lorsque la demande de communication est reçue et traitée par le fournisseur de service longue distance.

Title: Convection-enhanced drug delivery device and method of use
Inventor: ROHR WILLIAM L
IPC: A61M5/142
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: An implantable drug delivery system includes an infusion pump assembly with a fluid outlet, a fluid delivery pathway extending from the pump outlet to a target tissue site; and a controlled release material unit positioned in the fluid delivery pathway to release a drug or bioactive material into the delivery pathway. The pump assembly delivers fluid as a high flow infusion flow in said pathway, entraining drug material released by the release unit and establishing a pressure gradient at the distal end of the pathway that results in convection-enhanced transport such that the released drug(s) or treatment material enter the target tissue site with enhanced penetration depth and/or concentration. The pump delivers a carrier fluid that may reside in an external or in an implanted reservoir, or that may be an endogenous fluid, such as plasma or CSF.

Patent CA-2428525-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and system for reducing inter-symbol interference effects in transmission over a serial link with mapping of each word in a cluster of received words to a single transmitted word
Inventor: BANKS JANO
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2002-09-11
Abstract: A communication system including a transmitter (1'), a receiver (2'), and a serial link, in which encoded data (e.g., encoded video data and encoded auxiliary data) are transmitted from the transmitter (1') to the receiver (2'). The serial link can but need not be a TMDS or TMDS-like link. In typical embodiments, alternating bursts of encoded video data and auxiliary data are transmitted over each of one or more channels of the link. Other aspects of the invention are transmitters for use in encoding data for transmission over a serial link, receivers for receiving such data, and methods for sending encoded data over a serial link. In accordance with the invention, source data to be transmitted are encoded using a subset of a full set of code words. The subset consist of preferred code words. The preferred words are predetermined such that each encoded data stream (comprising only preferred words) transmitted over a serial link has a bit pattern that is less susceptible to inter-symbol interference ("ISI") during transmission than is the bit pattern determined by a conventionally encoded version of the same data (comprising not only preferred words but also other members of the full set). Disjoint clusters of code words in the full set are predetermined. Each cluster includes one or more of the preferred words, and optionally also at least one additional code word that is similar to a preferred word of the cluster in the sense that is likely to be generated as a result of probable bit errors in transmission, or transmission and decoding, of such preferred word. In some embodiments, the preferred words have serial bit patterns (during transmission) that have fewer contiguous zeros and ones (and thus are less susceptible to ISI during transmission) than do code words in the full set that are not preferred words.

Title: Well pump capsule
Inventor: FERREIRA JANISLENE S
IPC: F04C13/00
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: In the well assembly of the invention, a downhole pump assembly has an intake and a discharge outlet. A capsule enclosing the pump assembly selectively isolates the pump assembly from well fluid by way of a flow control device. A conduit having open upper and lower ends extends sealingly through the capsule for accessing a portion of the well below the capsule. The invention also includes a method of pumping fluid from a well wherein a pump assembly enclosed in a capsule is protected from pressure. In this method, the pump is shut off and well fluid is blocked from the interior of the capsule. Pressure is then applied to the well fluid surrounding the capsule, the capsule isolating the pump assembly from the pressure.
