Patent CA-2441842-C (CA)
Inventor: MCSHERRY JAMES R
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2001-12-28
Granted: 2013-06-18
Abstract: A small group of service providers, including specialists in various workplace issues, provides workplace services and products, such as human resource, legal, tax, accounting, environmental, financial, regulatory, governmental, technological, medical, consulting and marketing services to a large group of employer clients by using a database of information concerning the employers and their contacts. Each contact is assigned a unique ID code. When a situation arises that requires workplace resource services, a contact places a telephone call to a predetermined "helpline" telephone number. A specialist answers the call and receives the unique ID code from the contact.  Alternatively, the contact may send an e-mail message from a web site that requires the ID code to access it. In either case, when the receaved ID code is entered into the database, information allows the specialist to tailor advice to the specific question raised by the contact. Both the questions raised by the contact and the response given by the specialist are placed into predefined categories by the specialist at the time that the response is made.  The call, the response and these categories are then stored in the database for later reference.

Title: Modulators of nucleic acid ligands
Inventor: SULLENGER BRUCE A
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2002-05-28
Granted: 2014-05-20
Abstract: The biological activity of nucleic acid ligand is regulated (i.e. enhanced or inhibited) in vivo to produce a desired biological effect. This is accomplished through the administration of a modulator, or regulator, that changes the binding of the nucleic acid ligand for its target or that degrades or otherwise cleaves, metabolizes or breaks down the nucleic acid ligand while the ligand is still exerting its effect. Modulators of the present invention can be administered in real time as needed based on various factors, including the progress of the patient, as well as the physician's discretion in how to achieve optimal therapy. Thus, this invention provides for the first time a regulatable therapeutic regime in the course of nucleic acid ligand therapy.

Title: An adaptive linearization technique for communication building block
Inventor: JEONG HEI-SAM
IPC: H03F1/26
Filed: 2002-08-29
Granted: 2011-01-25
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a linearization apparatus and method.  Preferred embodiments according to the present invention can combine an auxiliary non-linear block (300) to a functional block of a system to increase linearity of an output signal (520) of the system such as a communication system. System overhead due to the non-linear auxiliary block can be small because of circuit structure, cost and low consumption. Further, the non-linear auxiliary block can be designed so that no feedback path is required.  Further preferred embodiments can use a feedback path without loss of stability by using a cancellation apparatus or process based on an averaging detection of the output signal. For example, a feedback loop can detect power leakage in a sideband caused by non-linearities of the communication system.

Title: Suppression of mode-beating noise in a q-switched pulsed laser using novel q-switch device
Inventor: GENDRON DENIS J
IPC: H01S3/11
Filed: 2004-03-05
Granted: 2012-09-18
Abstract: A novel Q-switch device enables significant quality and value improvement for a Q-switched laser system by achieving a significant reduction of mode-beating noise during the pulsed output. The origin of mode-beating noise in a Q-switched laser is a result of high gain availability and amplification of competing standing-waves in formation; whose optical frequency is a product of natural selection via spatial hole burning in the gain medium. The novel Q-switch device employs an active, electro-optics or acousto-optics, Q- switch in combination with a saturable absorber device, to provide an optimized soft opening of the optical path and a controlled timing of a Q-switched laser. This novel combination offers larger modulation loss than otherwise possible with the active modulator alone, and it allows for higher gain build-up and energy extraction efficiency. Specifically, it will enable a low-voltage modulator ( < 100 V) for high gain (small-signal gain > 10) and Q-switched operation at high repetition rate ( > 10 kHz). The combination is devised to slow down the signal build-up and to sweep the fundamental longitudinal mode frequency at least within the free spectral range of the resonator, such that it varies adiabatically during the Q-switched pulse formation. A laser geometry amenable to high gain and high power is proposed for use in conjunction with the proposed novel Q-switch device. The invention will enable the deployment of cost-effective Q-switched lasers operating in both single-longitudinal and single-transverse (TEM00) mode.

Filed: 2000-02-29
Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: The system includes a computer adapted to conduct voice-over-data-protocol telephone calls, typically voice over Internet Protocol. Alternatively, the computer is adapted to conduct multi-media-over-data-protocol calls. The computer is connected to an on-line data service such as by a dial-up telephone connection. While on-line, a user at the computer is able to conduct telephone or multi-media calls with a voice-over-data-protocol or multi-media-over-data-protocol respectively. The user is able to place the call on hold, without disconnecting the call and perform other actions, such as performing on-line activities, or taking a second voice or multi-media call. The party placed on hold is informed of the hold action. The hold function is typically invoked by the computer and performed at a gateway, though hold at the computer and invoke by the non-computer party are alternatives. A set-top-box is considered a computer within the scope of the invention.

Title: Embedding information in images using two-layer conjugate screening
Inventor: FAN ZHIGANG
IPC: H04N1/52
Filed: 2004-06-15
Granted: 2008-07-29
Abstract: A new information embedding technology is disclosed using conjugate screen concept. More specifically, two screens are applied in a halftoning process, one for the areas that corresponds to the symbol to be embedded 4object), and one for the background. Both screens can be conceptually decomposed into a two-layer structure similar to supercells. The top layer determines the overall halftone texture, while the bottom layer, which is conjugate for background and object, carries embedded data. The information can be retrieved digitally or optically. In embedding, there is no restriction of the symbol sizes. The computation is relatively simple and can be implemented in real time. In retrieval, it is relatively robust to registration errors.
