Title: Supports a revetement en polysaccharides, leur preparation et leur utilisation
Inventor: KIRAKOSSIAN HRAIR
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-03-06
Granted: 2011-06-07
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un support à revêtement en polysaccharides, qui présente un revêtement constitué d'au moins deux couches successives de polysaccharide. La première couche de polysaccharide s'associe spontanément avec une seconde couche de polysaccharide et éventuellement le support. Chaque couche de polysaccharide successive s'associe spontanément avec une couche précédente. Cette association spontanée a lieu en raison de la présence de groupes fonctionnels à charge opposée, se trouvant dans chacune des couches de polysaccharide, ou en raison d'une réaction spontanée entre les groupes fonctionnels des couches. Le support selon cette invention peut représenter n'importe quelle surface, telle qu'un tube, une plaque de microtitration, une perle, une particule ou un élément similaire, et convient à un usage dans des procédés diagnostiques ou thérapeutiques.

Title: Authentication of network users
Inventor: SOPPERA ANDREA
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2003-03-17
Granted: 2009-06-09
Abstract: A network includes a server 1 and a number of clients 2, which will in operation of the network require authentication by the server 1. The server 1 distributes authentication information to other clients 3 when a session is initialised. When the server 1 needs to authenticate a client 2, it hands out a server request to the client 2 which asks client 2 for authentication information which it must obtain from other clients 3. The client to be authenticated 2 then sends these requests to the clients 3 specified in the authentication request to obtain the authentication information from those clients. Once the client to be authenticated 2 has received the relevant authentication information from the other clients 3, it returns it to the server 1 and is authenticated or not accordingly.

Another method and apparatus (20, 120) for analog-to-digital (A/D) converting an input signal include providing an integrator (22) including a capacitance (40) coupled to an input port of an amplifier (42), coupling an A/D converter (24) to an output port of the amplifier (42), changing the amount of charge stored in the capacitance (40) at a known time rate by alternately coupling the input signal and a reference source (26, 28) to the capacitance (40) through at least one switch (30, 32, 34, 132, 134, 158, 160), and controlling an A/D conversion cycle of the A/D converter (24) and the at least one switch (30, 32, 34, 132, 134, 158, 160) for controlling the coupling of the input signal and the reference source (26, 28) to the capacitance (40).
Patent CA-2425003-C (CA)
Inventor: HOLMES JOHN A
IPC: H01H19/00
Filed: 2003-04-09
Granted: 2005-09-27
Abstract: A shock absorbing roller thumb wheel is disclosed. The shock absorbing thumb wheel includes a central hub that can be secured to an electro-mechanical switch, a rim encircling the central hub, and force dispersion spokes extending from the central hub and connected to the rim. The configuration of the force dispersion spokes and the resilient material of the force dispersion spokes and the rim allow for radial and lateral deflection of the rim in response to an applied impact force. The impact force is thereby at least partially absorbed by the radial and lateral deflection of the rim and spokes, such that less impact force is transferred to connections between the electro-mechanical switch and any assembly to which the switch is attached. Hence, the probability of connection failures is reduced, and the lifetime of a device that uses the thumb wheel can be extended.

Title: Dialogue flow interpreter development tool
Inventor: SCHOLZ KARL WILMER
IPC: H04M3/493
Filed: 2001-10-19
Granted: 2011-12-06
Abstract: A computer software product (200) is used to create applications for enabling a dialogue between a human and a computer. The software product provides a programming tool (210) that insulates software developers from time-consuming, technically-challenging programming tasks by enabling the developer to specify generalized instructions to a Dialogue Flow Interpreter (232), which invokes functions to implement a speech application, automatically populating a library (540) with dialogue objects that are available to other applications. The speech applications created through the DFI may be implemented as COM (component object model) objects, and so the applications can be easily integrated into a variety of different platforms. In addition, "translator" object classes are provided to handle specific types of data, such as currency, numeric data, dates, times, string variables, etc. These translator object classes have utility either as part of the DFI library or as a sub-library separate from dialogue implementation.
