Filed: 1995-04-28
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for analyzing a material within a container, such as blood within a capillary in a volumetric cytometry system provides for detecting the edges of the container, counting the cells within the container, characterizing the cells within the container, and evaluating channels of data which contain information relevant to more than one of the detectable characteristics of the cells. A scanner scans a container of material including certain cells. Sampling circuitry is coupled to the scanner to generate scanned images of the material in the container. Two or more scanned images are generated based on fluorescence data from dyes that have overlapping spectra. The two scanned images are processed using a linear regression analysis among corresponding pixels in the scanned images near certain cells to characterize relative contents of two fluorescing dyes in a target cell. Target cells are identified from the scanned images using processing resources which identify a peak sample within a neighborhood, and compare the amplitude of the peak with the amplitude of pixels on the perimeter of the neighborhood. Upon identifying a target cell in this manner, data from the plurality of scanned images corresponding to the identified cell are saved for further analysis.

Patent CA-2162030-A1 (CA)
Title: Robust language processor and method
Inventor: LINEBARGER MARCIA C
IPC: G10L15/18
Filed: 1994-05-23
Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for segmenting (28), persing (30), interpreting and formatting (38) the content of instructions such as air traffic control instructions. Output from a speech recognizer (14, 22) is so processed to produce such instructions in a structured format such as for input to other software. There are two main components: an instruction segmenter (28) and a robust parser (18, 30). In the instruction segmenter (28), the recognized text produced by the speech recognizer (14, 22) is segmented into independent instructions and each instruction is processed. The instruction segmenter (28) receives a recognized air traffic control or other instruction, and segments it into individual commands. Utterances or other language are thereby broken up into their component instructions by detecting probable instruction boundaries. If normal processing fails, then robust backup processing (34) is invoked, as a fallback after a fixed time per word has elapsed or a processing failure has occurred. The robust parser (18, 30) allows the system (10, 20) to extract information from utterances that are not necessarily well formed or may have extraneous comments in them.

Title: Process for titanium silicalite-catalyzed epoxidation
Inventor: CROCCO GUY L
IPC: B01J29/035
Filed: 1995-11-08
Abstract: The selectivity of an olefin epoxidation process catalyzed by titanium silicalite is improved by performing the epoxidation in the presence of minor amounts of nonbasic salts such as lithium chloride, sodium nitrate, potassium sulfate, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. For example, when hydrogen peroxide is reacted with propylene to form propylene oxide, non-selective ring-opening reactions of the propylene oxide are suppressed when low concentrations of a nonbasic salt are added to the hydrogen peroxide feed.
Patent CA-2165924-A1 (CA)
Title: Flexible tube floatation sling
Inventor: HANNIGAN GAIL
IPC: B63B35/78
Filed: 1995-12-21
Abstract: The  present  invention provides  an  improved  floatation support comprising floatation means consisting of one or more flexible foam tubes having first and second ends. Sling means having first and second sides is provided with connector means at said first and second sides of the sling means. The foam tube(s) may be retained in a U-shape by attaching the connector means to the first and second ends of the tube so that a person can lie or sit on the sling means.          The sling is attached to the foam tube in such a way as to pull the two ends of the tube together.  This creates a comfortable platform on which a person can lie down either in the supine or prone position, typically with the head at the "U" bend in the tube and resting around the middle of the U Bend.  The U bend provides means to support the head in the water, as this is the point of greatest buoyancy.   The weight of the person on the sling is distributed evenly across the sling with the foam tube on both sides, resulting in good floatation characteristics and stability.   A low centre of gravity results because the weight of the user pulls down the centre of the sling.
