Patent CA-2490509-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DENNY RICHARD
IPC: H01J49/26
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: A mass spectrometer and a method of mass spectrometry are disclosed wherein periodic background noise is effectively filtered out from the mass spectral data. An overall mass window is superimposed upon the mass spectral data. The overall mass window preferably comprises 21 nominal mass windows each preferably having a width of 1.0005 amu. Each nominal mass window preferably comprises 20 channels. An intensity distribution relating to all the first channels of the 21 nominal mass windows is determined. An intensity quantile is determined from the intensity distribution.      The intensity quantile is taken to represent the background intensity in the first channel of the central nominal mass window. This process is repeated for the other channels so that the background intensity across the whole of the central nominal mass window is estimated and then subtracted from the raw mass spectral data comprising the central nominal mass window. The overall mass window is then preferably advanced approximately 1 amu and the process is repeated multiple times.

Title: An improved system for stock images peer-to-peer services over the world wide web
Inventor: MANASCHEROV RAZ
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2005-04-20
Abstract: A method and system for distributed digital, particularly graphic arts images, content trading over the Internet and other communication means. The system comprises image publishers, each equipped with a web server, an image repository, a publishing module and a first image enhancement module; and a system service center, equipped with a web server, an image attributes database, a search module, a second image enhancement module, a billing module and a coordination and control module. Image publishers, interested in selling rights in their proprietary high-resolution images, publish in the service's web-site thumbnails representing those images. An image buyer, browsing and searching the service web site for images of particular attributes, selects those thumbnails meeting her/his requirements, and gets from the service a temporary direct communication link to the image repository of the image publisher, owning the selected images. The buyer got the option to remotely review, enhance and embed in a page layout the low-resolution representation of the selected thumbnails, and quality check parts of the high-resolution images including generic and precise simulations.  When satisfied, the buyer gets into a price and payment negotiation with the publisher, and subsequently pays via the service's billing module. On conclusion of the transaction the image buyer acquires, by Internet, CD or transparency, the high-resolution image file directly from the supplier's repository, whereas the high-resolution files were automatically rendered by the enhancement unit ready for print, following the parameters set previously by the image buyer.

Title: Passive electrode blanketing in a fuel cell
Inventor: JOOS NATHANIEL IAN
IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 2004-06-25
Abstract: When a conventional fuel cell module is shutdown the conditions within the fuel cell stack change. The conditions change because elements that support and regulate the operation of the fuel cell stack switch to their respective shutdown states. For example, the input and output valves are closed, which cuts off the supply inflows and exhaust outflows. Moreover, when an element such as a flow control device switches to a shutdown state internal conditions, such as for example, the pressure within the anode electrodes change. When the internal conditions of the fuel cell stack change the reactants (e.g. hydrogen and oxygen) remaining in the fuel cell stack and the feed lines (between the fuel cell stack and the closed valves) are substantially consumed in combustion reactions as opposed to being consumed in electrochemical reactions yielding a useful form of energy.
