Title: Method and system for rate-constrained search ordering
Inventor: TRUDEAU LUC NORMAND
IPC: H04N19/176
Filed: 2015-01-29
Abstract: Methods and systems for rate-constrained search ordering algorithms for reducing computational cost of motion estimation in video coding have been provided.  Conventional search orderings, such as spiral search, can weaken the filtering criterion of rate-constrained successive elimination algorithms. Simulation results provided herein above demonstrate that, on average, the amount of SAD (sum of absolute differences) operations required to encode the tested sequences, is reduced using embodiments of the invention, when compared to the conventional implementations of spiral search for example. Advantageously, for sequences with unpredictable motion, this reduction may be greater than 5%, and may even exceed 10% when smaller block partitions are evaluated.

Title: Methods for securing data generation via multi-part generation seeds
Inventor: BENNETT JOSEPH W III
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2013-09-23
Abstract: Methods and systems for securely generating lottery games are presented. A final game generation seed number is formed from multiple seed numbers from multiple and differing parties such that no one party has the ability to create the final seed number without the other parties' consent or knowledge. Since the final seed number is required by the software that governs the distribution of prizes within a game and is therefore required to produce valid game data, no one entity would have enough information to determine the location of a winning prize. This creates an environment of transparency such that all parties must agree on the terms that result in the formation of the final seed number from the individual seed number fragments in order to produce a game.

Patent CA-2899882-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAYES MARK E
IPC: A61K31/165
Filed: 2014-02-03
Abstract: The present invention provides liposome compositions containing sparingly soluble drugs. A preferred method of encapsulating a drug inside a liposome is by remote or active loading. Remote loading of a drug into liposomes containing a transmembrane electrochemical gradient is initiated by co-mixing a liposome suspension with a solution of drug, whereby the neutral form of the compound freely enters the liposome and becomes electrostatically charged thereby preventing the reverse transfer out of the liposome. In the preferred embodiment the drug in the solubilizing agent is mixed with the liposomes in aqueous suspension so that the concentration of solubilizing agent is lowered to below its capacity to completely solubilize the drug. This results in the drug precipitating but remote loading capability is retained. The resulting drug-loaded liposomes are characterized by a high drug-to-lipid ratio and prolonged drug retention when the liposome encapsulated drug is administered to a subject.

Title: Method to generate diversion and distribution for unconventional fracturing in shale
Inventor: CREWS JAMES B
IPC: C09K8/58
Filed: 2014-03-27
Abstract: Relatively high viscosity materials and methods for introducing them as discrete bodies or masses into relatively low viscosity fluids, such as brine, give fracturing fluids that help control the diversion and distribution of fluids as they are pumped downhole against a subterranean formation, particularly shale, to fracture it. A wide range of relatively viscous materials may be used, including polymers, crosslinked polymers and/or surfactant gels, for instance gels created with viscoelastic surfactants (VESs). Once the fracturing fluids containing these bodies or masses are within the hydraulic fracture, the processes of paths of least resistance, flow deviation, viscous material flow displacement, total fluid diversion, in situ fluid viscosity generation and distribution of delayed release treatment additives may be deployed.

Inventor: BLAIS JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: C22B3/46
Filed: 2015-12-15
Abstract: A process has been developed in order to recover and recycle the metals present in spent batteries, including alkaline spent batteries alone or mixed with other types of spent batteries. This method shows a good potential in terms of metals recoveries efficiencies and economic feasibility. Firstly, the spent batteries are crushed (optionally after having been frozen in the case of spent batteries of mixed types). Then, the undesirable parts (plastics, steel cases, papers, etc...) are removed by screening. The collected powder, containing the metals, is mixed with a solution of sulfuric acid in the presence of a reducing agent. The solid/liquid separation is carried out by filtration and the leachate is purified in order to selectively recover the metals. The purification steps consist of: a) recovering Zn by solvent extraction followed by an electrowinning process; b) simultaneously recovering Mn and Cd by solvent extraction process; c) selectively recovering Cd from the mixture solution of Cd and Mn by electrowinning process; d) precipitating Mn from a pure solution of MnSO4 in a carbonate form; e) removing the impurities present in the effluent by solvent extraction in order to obtain a pure NiSO4 solution; f) precipitating Ni from a NiSO4 solution in a carbonate form.
