Patent CA-2154714-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRIDGES JACK E
IPC: G01V8/00
Filed: 1995-07-26
Abstract: A method and system for detecting an incipient tumor in living tissue such as that of a human breast in accordance with differences in relative dielectric characteristics . A generator produces a non-ionizing electromagnetic input wave of preselected frequency, usually exceeding three gigahertz, and that input wave is used to illuminate the living tissue, being focused into a small, discrete volume within the tissue to develop a non-ionizing electromagnetic wave at that position. The illumination location is moved over a portion of the living tissue in a predetermined scanning pattern. Scattered signal returns collected from the living tissue are collected to develop a scattered return signal. The scattered return signal is employed to detect any anomaly, caused by differences in relative dielectric characteristics, that is indicative of the presence of a tumor in the scanned living tissue.

Inventor: BHAT GHANSHYAM A
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 1995-08-10
Abstract: A cordless telephone set advantageously includes a wireless test mode accessible by a user for evaluating performance levels of operating parameters in the cordless telephone set in diverse geographical locations. When configured in a normal operating mode, the cordless telephone set provides normal wireless communications. When configured in the wireless test mode, the cordless telephone set provides audible and visual input to its user for use in determining a maximum acceptable separation distance for satisfactory communications between a telephone handset unit and its associated base unit in the cordless telephone set. This operating range determination for the cordless telephone set is achieved by providing a simulation of a recognizable tone, such as dial tone, to which a user subjectively listens while testing an application environment. At the same time, statistical readings of signal strength and voice quality also are provided in a display on the telephone handset unit while in this wireless test mode. The simulated tone and the statistical readings allow the user to quickly and easily correlate effective, usable operating range for the cordless telephone set.

Patent CA-2158214-A1 (CA)
Title: Skate guard
Inventor: DIMEGLIO DAWN C
IPC: A63C3/12
Filed: 1995-09-13
Abstract: A skate guard has front and rear pieces with slots for receiving the front and rear portions of a skate runner.          A center piece is rigidly connected to the front and rear pieces, and it is formed of a stretchable elastomeric material which biases the front and rear pieces toward each other. The center piece has a downwardly facing tread surface, and it is stiff enough to keep the front and rear pieces substantially longitudinally aligned with each other when the device is not on a skate runner. In a gap between the front and rear pieces, the center piece has a runner-protecting portion which (a) is no higher than the bottom walls of the runner-receiving slots, and (b) lies between two vertical longitudinal planes which include the sidewalls of the runner-receiving slots.          Separately molded elastomeric tread pieces are attached to the front and rear pieces. Each tread piece has a horizontal tread portion and a bumper portion which extends around the end of its respective front or rear piece. To facilitate cutting of the front and rear pieces to suitable lengths, pairs of transversely aligned horizontal cutter-positioning grooves are provided on opposite sides of the runner-receiving slots. For further guidance of a cutting tool, outboard vertical grooves are located in a same transverse plane as each pair of cutter-positioning grooves.

Title: 17-deoxycorticosteroid-21-/o/-carboxylic esters, processes for their preparation and pharmaceuticals containing these compounds
Inventor: STACHE ULRICH
IPC: C07J5/00
Filed: 1995-09-19
Abstract: 17-Deoxycorticoid-21-carboxylic esters of the formula I (see Formula I) are described, in which A is CHOH and CHCl, CH2, C=O or 9(11) double bond; Y is H, F or Cl; Z is H, F or CH3; R(1) is aryl or hetaryl and R(2) is H or methyl. They are obtained by reacting a compound of the formula II, (see formula II) in which R(4) is OH, with an activated carboxylic acid of the formula III, R(5)-CO-[(C1-C4)-alkyl]-R(1) III. The compounds I possess very strong local and topical antiinflammatory activity and exhibit a very good ratio of local to systemic antiinflammatory effect, which ratio is often clearly superior to that of structurally related corticoid 21-esters which do not carry any aryl or hetaryl group in the 21-ester residue or to that of analogous 17-deoxycorticoids having an unesterified, that is a free, 21-hydroxyl group.

Patent CA-2164495-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TRUONG HIEU CONG
IPC: B44B5/00
Filed: 1995-12-05
Abstract: A bi-metallic coin or blank is produced from a disc-shaped core and an annular outer component. The two components are bonded to each other by pressure flow of the material of one component toward the other component. According to the invention, the locking of the two components is secured by bevels at its central opening. The bevels also facilitate the fast speed placement of the core into the ring during the minting operation. The fast speed placement of the core in the outer component is further aided by an outwardly rounded configuration of the periphery of the disc-shaped core. The invention is particularly, but not exclusively, useful in the production of thincoins having the thickness range of about 1.0 mm to about 1.5 mm, where the locking of the two components is difficult to achieve with known methods.

Title: Speech recognition bias equalization method and apparatus
Inventor: JUANG BIING-HWANG
IPC: G10L15/14
Filed: 1995-12-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a speech recognizer that creates and updates the equalization vector as input speech is provided to the recognizer.   The present  invention includes a speech analyzer which transforms an input speech signal into a series of feature vectors or observation sequence.  Each feature vector is then provided to a speech recognizer which modifies the feature vector by subtracting a previously determined equalization vector therefrom.  The recognizer  then  performs  segmentation  and  matches  the modified feature vector to a stored model vector which is defined as the segmentation vector.  The recognizer then, from time to time, determines a new equalization vector, the new  equalization  vector  being  defined  based  on  the difference between one or more input feature vectors and their respective segmentation vectors.  The new equalization vector may then be used either for performing another segmentation iteration on the same observation sequence or for performing segmentation on subsequent feature vectors.

Title: Volatile compounds removal device and method
Inventor: COX HUBERTUS HENRICUS
IPC: B01D53/85
Filed: 1996-02-01
Abstract: Device with a biological filter for removing volatile, hydrophobic compounds from gas emissions, a method of manufacturing such a biological filter and a method of removing said compounds from said gas emissions. A device for the removal of volatile, hydrophobic compounds, particularly styrene, from gas emissions comprises a biological filter which consists of a carrier material provided with a biologically active material. According to the invention the carrier material consists of porous particles of a hydrophilic material and the biologically active material comprises a fungus covering the porous particles. An acid environment resides in said filter allowing the fungus to survive but counteracting any bacterial growth. The particles encase pores which provide a passage to said gas emissions, which accordingly will enter the mycelium of the fungus by which they are effectively decomposed. The filter is manufactured by cultivating the fungus on the carrier material with the aid of the compound which is to be removed. In order to be able to make a filter quickly with a homogenous distribution of the fungus therein, it is preferable to use a spore forming fungus.

Title: Laminated vapor barrier
Inventor: PETTY CHARLES J
IPC: B32B29/02
Filed: 1996-03-05
Abstract: A vapor barrier laminate for use in insulation applications as a facing material.   A fiberglass yarn or scrim is positioned between layers of kraft paper. An aluminum foil is adhered directly to the outer kraft paper layer.  The paper to foil bond and the paper to paper bond are accomplished with a  flame retardant adhesive.   The resulting heavier and thicker laminate provides increased rigidity, a smoother outer surface for better abrasion resistance, and a greater tensile strength.  Use of the laminate in duct board facing improves the strength of the duct board while facilitating  tape  adherence  for  sealing  gaps  between  board sections.
