Patent CA-2421873-A1 (CA)
Title: Fetal scalp electrode
Inventor: ROSEN KARL
IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: A fetal scalp electrode is provided having a spiral tip 5 mounted on the distal end of a dielectric hub 4 and a reference electrode 9 mounted on the proximal end thereof. Conventional apparatus including drive tube (3) and guide tube (2) are used to attach the spiral tip to the fetal scalp in a cor k screw fashion. These components are removed leaving electrode wires (8) connected to spiral tip (5) and reference electrode (9) respectively extendi ng from the fetus for connection to suitable monitoring equipment. The spiral t ip (5) of the electrode is formed of stainless steel pype 905L which is essentially non-magnetic and non-magnetisable. This has been found to overco me a significant problem of prior art electrodes when used for detecting S-T wa ve intervals in particular where magnetic properties of the stainless steel typically used can lead to losses of critical portions of the signal. The electrode is particularly suitable for monitoring of the S-T interval in whi ch it is used in a unipolar configuration, i.e. the reference electrode (9) is not used, but instead a remote electrode is attached to the maternal thigh. The wire connected to reference electrode (9) may, however, be simultaneousl y used for monitoring fetal heart rate.

IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système(1) de communication permettant la gestion des sessions de communication, par. exemple d'appels multimédia ou d'appels vocaux. Ce système (1) de communication comprend un terminal (10) local, un serveur (40) externe, une position d'interface mandataire (PIA proxy interface agent) (11) entre le terminal (10) et le réseau (20) partagé. Les moyens de communication comprennent une fonction (32) NAT (traduction d'adresses de réseau) à travers laquelle la session de communication doit passer. La session de communication est transportée à travers le réseau (20) via un ou plusieurs canaux logiques reliant le terminal (10) au serveur (40) externe. Pendant la session, la première fonction (32) NAT met en correspondance les adresses (14) de transport du terminal avec les adresses de réseau. Le PIA (11) fait pour le compte du terminal (10) dans les communications avec le serveur (40) externe et établit une voie logique sur une connexion sortante avec le serveur, cette voie servant de voie de commande entre le PIA (11) et le serveur (40). Le PIA (11) établit des connexions sortantes dynamiques avec le serveur (40) et, en réponse à une demande du serveur ou en réponse à une demande du PIA lui-même, établit une ou plusieurs associations entre une ou plusieurs adresses (14) de transport et la ou les voies logiques identifiables reliant le PIA (11) et le serveur. Ces voies logiques identifiables sont établies sur une ou plusieurs connexions sortantes dynamique allant du PIA (11) au serveur.

Title: The shade buddy ii
Inventor: MALLETTE PERCY CARL
IPC: A45B11/00
Filed: 2002-12-27
Abstract: The invention is intended to hold the shaft of an Umbrella, canopy, garden torch etc. securely to the edge of a deck or table. The device is portable and requires no tools for portable attachment to most decks, tables, docks etc. The device is particularly well suited for camping or boating excursions as it is small and lightweight. It replaces the much heavier and bulkier water-filled plastic or cast iron pedestal supports commonly used with shade umbrellas etc. A further feature of the device is that it be temporarily or permanently mounted to the surface that it is attached to while allowing the umbrella or whatever the device is holding to be removed for storage. More permanent or security attachment is facilitated with the use of an additional .fastener which will require hand-tools.

Title: Robust method and apparatus for processing cable modem configuration files
Inventor: CATALANI PAUL
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: An apparatus for processing simple network management protocol (SNMP) object identifiers (OID's) in a network management file. The objects are classified as to scalar or tabular values and further classified according to the number of digits in each object identifier and the number of unlike values within the digits. Packet data units are then created incorporating similar object types.  Each packet data unit is then individually processed. By first classifying (222) and then processing (224) the SNMP objects, the impact of corrupted or erred objects on the network management process is minimized.

Filed: 2002-10-02
Abstract: An expandable media filter structure is composed largely of biodegradable materials and is environmentally disposable. A plurality of pleated panels (10) are interconnected at their edges so as to be collapsible for storage and shipping purposes but expandable for installation and use. A plurality of ribbons (37) are ultrasonically welded to each of the panel edges, with the ribbon portions between edges being of substantially equal lengths, thereby maintaining equal spacing between the panel edges when the filter is in the expanded condition but allowing an easy collapsing of the filter for storage.  Forming a part of the disposable filter (10) are pair of end plates (12, 13), with each being adhesively attached to an end panel and having a pair of slots (47) formed near their ends for attachment to a nondisposable support structure. The end panels are formed of multiple layers of paperboard which are adhesively bonded and compressed into a U-shaped structure that rigidly supports the filter in its expanded condition. The nondisposable support structure comprises a pair of molded plastic side caps (14, 16) that fit over the respective ends of the filter panels and the end plates (12, 13). Each side cap (14, 16) has a pair of flanges (28) at its opposite ends which act to maintain the filter in its expanded condition when the end plates (12, 13) are placed in abutting position therewith. Each side cap also includes a boss (29) which fits into a respective end plate slot (47) to hold the end plates (12, 13) in their installed positions within the side caps.

Title: Wind turbine wheel
Inventor: STRAND CARL OLAF
IPC: F03D1/04
Filed: 2003-06-26
Abstract: This invention is a new machine and process for generating electricity from the naturally occurring wind. The shroud or cowling of the Wind Turbine Wheel is circular in shape and can be made in various sizes to suit its application.     The machine is designed to always swing to face the wind. This movement will be power assisted if required.  The naturally occurring wind will enter the shroud or cowling at the front which will be at the point of the cone, as the wind passes over the cone, a venturi effect will occur. The wind will increase in speed as it exits over the larger part of the cone. This faster moving wind will engage the adjustable blades on the Wind Turbine Wheel to turn it at a much faster speed than the speed generated by the naturally occurring wind. The Wind Turbine turns the centre drive shaft, which turns the generator that generates electricity.

Title: Membrane de separation de gaz avec tamis moleculaires organosilicies
Inventor: PATEL ASPI N
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2002-09-16
Abstract: L'invention a trait à une membrane à matrice mixte destinée aux séparations de gaz, contenant une phase continue non poreuse d'un polymère, et une phase dispersée de particules de tamis moléculaires que l'on a fait réagir avec un composé organosilicié monofonctionnel. Ledit composé organosilicié monofonctionnel est caractérisé par : a) au moins un substituant au silicium qui réagit ou est compatible avec le polymère ; et b) au plus un radical déplaçable pouvant réagir avec le tamis moléculaire. Un procédé de production d'une membrane à matrice mixte sélectivement perméable au gaz consiste à faire réagir un tamis moléculaire avec le composé organosilicié monofonctionnel, à disperser uniformément le tamis après réaction avec un polymère, et à utiliser la composition à matrice mixte obtenue pour former une structure de membrane. Ces membranes à matrice mixte présentent une meilleure combinaison perméabilité et sélectivité que les membranes exclusivement polymériques et les membranes à matrice mixte dans lesquelles on ne fait pas réagir le tamis moléculaire avec un composé organosilicié monofonctionnel.
