Title: Query engine and method for querying data using metadata model
Inventor: RASMUSSEN GLENN D
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: A query engine formulates a data source query to obtain data from one or more data sources. The query engine uses a metadata model containing model objects that represent the data sources. The metadata model has a data access layer, business layer and package layer. The model objects of the business layer are constructed based on the model objects contained in the data access layer. The query engine interacts to the metadata model at the business layer, and formulates a data source query based on a query specification provided by a client application. Thus, the query engine allows use of different type of client applications to obtain reports from one or more data sources.
Patent CA-2317891-A1 (CA)
Title: Liquid filter with centrifugal separator
Inventor: WONG JOHNNY
IPC: B01D27/06
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: A filter cartridge which removes particulate contaminants from liquids includes an annular filter element which, for example, may be a pleated paper filter element, as well as an array of fins which impart a spiral motion to the liquid prior to the liquid passing through the filter element. The spiral motion imparts a centrifugal force to the particulate contaminants causing heavier filter contaminants to move away from the filter media to proximity with the wall of a housing enclosing the filter media and to subsequently accumulate in an axial space disposed beneath the filter media. Since the filter media does not need to remove particles already precipitated out of the liquid, the life of the filter media is extended, the capacity of the filter media is increased, and the distribution of contaminant particles over the upstream side of the filter media is made more uniform.

Patent CA-2345443-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAPMAN DAVID C
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1999-10-19
Abstract: A computer-implemented approach for routing an integrated circuit using non-orthogonal routing is accomplished during two phases:  a global routing phase and a detailed routing phase. During global routing, routing indicators, in the form of hint polygons, are added to the integrated circuit layout and strategy lists, that include bias directions and straying limits, are generated for the new wires to be added.  The hint polygons and strategy lists are used during detailed routing to aid in placing the new wires. If obstacle conflicts or insufficient space problems prevent the detailed routing of a new wire, then an obstacle resolution portion of global routing is used to resolve the obstacle conflict and/or provide additional space in the integrated circuit layout to route the new wires. Obstacle resolution includes, without limitation, moving or changing layout geometry, changing or add hint polygons, changing the routing strategy by changing the bias direction and/or adjusting straying limits, inserting one or more layer changes, instructing the detailed router to backup and insert a bend, ripping-up, and rerouting one or more wires, or routing the wire from the destination connection point. Also, a tight routing approach may be employed to accommodate constructing routing paths in tight layout areas.  Object specific design rule checks are employed to increase routing flexibility optimize routing performance. "On-the-fly" design rule checks are performed on portions of routing paths as the routing paths are being constructed.

Title: Low-emissivity, soil-resistant coating for glass surfaces
Inventor: HARTIG KLAUS
IPC: C03C/
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: A glass article that has a water-sheeting coating and a method of applying coatings to opposed sides of a substrate are described. In one embodiment, a water-sheeting coating (20) comprising silica is sputtered directly onto an exterior surface of the glass. The exterior face of this water-sheeting coating is substantially non-porous but has an irregular surface. The water-sheeting coating causes water applied to the coated surface to sheet, making the glass article easier to clean and helping the glass stay clean longer. In one method of the invention, interior and exterior surfaces of a glass sheet are cleaned. Thereafter, the interior surface of the sheet of glass is coated with a reflective coating by sputtering, in sequence, at least one dielectric layer, at least one metal layer, and at least one dielectric layer. The exterior surface of the glass is coated with a water-sheeting coating by sputtering silica directly onto the exterior surface of the sheet glass. If so desired, both the interior surface and the exterior surface can be applied during the same pass through the same sputter coating apparatus while glass maintains a constant orientation wherein the interior surface is positioned above the exterior surface.
