Title: Procede et appareil pour la detection de tendance dans un signal de surveillance d'electrocardiogramme
Inventor: MASSICOTTE LOUIS
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2003-09-29
Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un procédé dans lequel une courbe d'électrocardiogramme complète est reçue par un module central. Le module central est porté à la ceinture comme un téléphone cellulaire ou un radiomessageur. Il est constitué de quatre dispositifs fonctionnant conjointement : un ordinateur portatif, un système d'orientation universel, un tableau cellulaire et un dispositif de multiplexage. Le système reçoit en communication sans fil une courbe cardiaque complète en provenance de l'électrocardiogramme (de préférence, un système portable d'électrocardiogramme de surveillance sans fil) et est apte à distinguer non seulement le rythme cardiaque, mais également toutes contractions cardiaques anormales. Des points de référence de l'électrocardiogramme sont extraits et traités afin de détecter l'apparition d'une tendance dans l'électrocardiogramme. En cas de détection de problème par l'unité centrale, le système appelle automatiquement une station centrale et peut transmettre le positionnement en GPS et la surveillance d'électrocardiogramme du patient avec les données d'anomalie détectées. La communication vocale avec le patient ou avec des passants est également possible.

Title: Media integration layer
Inventor: CURTIS DONALD B
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2004-07-28
Abstract: A media integration layer including an application programming interfac e (API) and an object model allows program code developers to interface in a consistent manner with a scene graph data structure in order to output graphics. Via th e interfaces, program code adds child visuals to other visuals to build up a hierarchical scene graph, writes Instruction Lists such as geometry data, image data, animation data and other data for output, and may specify transform, clipping and opacity properties on visuals. The media integration layer and API enable programmers to accomplish composition erects within their applications in a straightforward manner, while leveraging the graphics processing unit in a manner that does not adversely impact normal application performance. A multiple-level system includes the ability to combine different media types (such as 2D, 3D, Video, Audio, text and imagin g) and animate them smoothly and seamlessly.

Title: Concrete form having adjustable curvature
Inventor: MCCRACKEN ROBERT
IPC: E04G11/00
Filed: 2005-08-05
Abstract: Supplemental bridging straps are used to increase the strength of a flexible metal concrete form assembly. A metal form has a flexible panel member with a perimetral flange projected laterally from one side thereof. Each of a pair of transversely opposite side sections of the flange is segmented by a plurality of longitudinally spaced V-shaped notches having their apices adjacent the one side of the panel member to provide for a lateral flexing movement of the panel member to a preselected shape. With the panel member in the predetermined shape, the segments in each of the flange side sections are connected together against relative movement to retain the predetermined shape of the panel member. In a first preferred embodiment, each flange segment is connected to an adjacent flange segment by a flexible metal strap. In a second preferred embodiment, extended flexible metal straps are used to interconnect a central flange segment to each of the pair of adjacent flange segments. The supplemental bridging straps bridge or span across adjacent flexible metal straps and the straps are interconnected to a corresponding flange segment.
Patent CA-2516546-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PIASIO ROGER
IPC: C12Q1/54
Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: A lateral flow chromatographic assay format for the performance of rapid enzyme-driven assays is described. A combination of components necessary to elicit a specific enzyme reaction, which are either absent from the intended sample or insufficiently present therein to permit completion of the desired reaction, are predeposited as substrate in dry form together with ingredients necessary to produce a desired color upon occurrence of the desired reaction.  The strip is equipped with a sample pad placed ahead of the substrate deposit in the flow stream, to which liquid sample is applied. The sample flows from the sample pad into the substrate zone where it immediately reconstitutes the dried ingredients while also intimately mixing with them and reacting with them at the fluid front. The fluid front moves rapidly into the final ~read zone~ wherein the color developed is read against predetermined color standards for the desired reaction. Pretreatment pads for the sample, as needed, (e.g. a lysing pad for lysing red blood cells in whole blood) are placed in front of the sample pad in the flow path as appropriate. The assay in the forma of the invention is faster and easier to perform than analogous wet chemistry assays. Specific assay for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (~G-6PD~), total serum cholesterol, .beta.-lactamase activity and peroxidase activity are disclosed

Title: Railroad switch lubricator
Inventor: KUMAR SUDHIR
IPC: B61K3/00
Filed: 2004-05-20
Abstract: This invention is an electro-hydraulic system to automatically lubricate railroad switches and enhance their performance. The lubrication covers switch plates, switch rods, switch points, the base of stock rail adjacent to switch rail and the top of both switch and stock rails. Wear and tear of the switch and lateral creep force impact are thus reduced and the switch operates smoothly. Switch related derailments, rail fractures and maintenance labor will be reduced significantly. A pressurized tank with a microprocessor controller, placed on the wayside, supplies an environmentally acceptable smooth-flowing lubricant via hoses or pipes to two nozzle holders with check valves mounted with special brackets a short distance from the switch point on both rails. Lubricant is sprayed with one or more nozzles on each rail switch to cover all or part of the switch length. One or two solenoid valves in the flow lines control the quantity of lubricant applied in each shot and the frequency of application.

Title: Method and apparatus for suppression of crosstalk and noise in time-division multiplexed interferometric sensor systems
Inventor: WAAGAARD OLE HENRIK
IPC: G08C23/04
Filed: 2006-02-09
Abstract: Unwanted signal components in time-division multiplexed (TDM) systems may lead to crosstalk and noise if these pulses overlap with signal pulses from an interrogated sensor. The crosstalk and noise are dominated by interference between the signal pulses from the interrogated sensor and the unwanted signal components and can be greatly reduced by suppressing this interference signal. The unwanted signal components may include overlapping pulses originating from different sets of interrogation pulses (repetition periods). Modulating the phase or frequency between the repetition periods so that the unwanted interference signal does not appear at frequencies from which the phase of the interrogated sensor is demodulated suppresses this interference. Other unwanted signal components include leakage light during dark periods of the duty cycle of an interrogation signal. Modulating the phase difference between the interrogation signal and the leakage light suppresses the interference between the leakage light and the interrogation signal.
