Title: Alignment verification device and method of use
Inventor: O'NEIL MICHAEL J
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2002-07-08
Abstract: An alignment verification device includes a spacer element and an alignment guide surface. The spacer element has proximal and distal portions and an insert engaging element disposed on the distal portion. The proximal portion can be of such a designed so as to serve as a handle for the verification device. The alignment guide surface is affixed to the spacer element and defines an alignment orifice. The alignment orifice is spaced apart from the insert engaging element. A prosthesis is also disclosed having an engaging element and a visual indicator element. The engaging element is configured to releasably engage the prosthesis engaging element of the alignment verification device so that, upon engagement, the alignment orifice is spaced apart from the visual indicator element. The engagement of the alignment verification device with the prosthesis can thus be adapted to permit a sighting element of an image obtaining device to be aligned with the alignment orifice and the visual indicator element so that an image obtaining device is aligned with the prosthesis in a known orientation.

Title: Data networks
Inventor: GRAY ROBERT HENRY MARK
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-11-29
Abstract: A network access arrangement for connecting an end user's computer (10) to t he Internet (12) includes a network access server (16) and a proxy server (24).  When an end user requests to be connected to the Internet (12), the network access server (12) forwards the access request to the proxy server (24). The  proxy server (24) authenticates some requests itself but forwards other requests to authentication servers (A, B or C) for authentication. After receiving a response from one of the servers (A, B, or C), the proxy server (24) forwards the response to the network access server (16). If the proxy server (24) does not receive a response from one of the authentication serve rs (A, B, or C), it follows a default procedure. This can be to authenticate th e request in the proxy server (24) or simply to accept the request. The proxy server (24) has a counter associated with each of the servers (A, B or C). Each time the proxy server (24) receives a response from one of the servers (A, B or C), it decrements the appropriate counter. Each time it does not receive a response, it increments the appropriate counter. When one of the counters reaches a threshold value, the proxy server (24) then follows the default procedure for a pre-set number of requests which would normally be forwarded to the appropriate server. After following the default procedure f or this predetermined number of access requests, the proxy server (24) forwards  the next access requests, which would normally be forwarded to the relevant server, to that server.

Title: Method and apparatus for real time insertion of images into video
Inventor: MUENCH MARK S
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2000-11-07
Abstract: The present invention comprising a real time image insertion system for vide o utilizes a three-dimensional model of at least one target area within a site  for identifying the target area within an original video image of the site, and for rendering a target image and inserting it into the target area of th e video image. The target area may be a real, existing surface of the site or an imaginary surface defined only in the model. The model is rendered from the position and angle of a camera that generated the video image. By using a three dimensional model of the site to generate the target image, the resulting image with the inserted target material appears more realistic.</S DOAB>

Patent CA-2394912-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAN DE WAAL WOUTER WILLEM
IPC: E21B43/16
Filed: 2000-12-08
Abstract: The invention relates to an environmentally friendly method for generating energy from natural gas. Through the combustion of the natural gas with a mixture comprising substantially oxygen and CO2, a number of advantages are achieved with regard to the emission of CO2 and NOx. According to the invention, the CO2-rich product gas is injected into a natural gas reservoir from which natural gas has been extracted. By the underground replacement of natural gas by CO2, a pressure drop in the natural gas reservoir can be controlled, so that subsidence is prevented.  Additionally, in this manner, the emission of CO2 is reduced or even wholly prevented.
