Title: Electronic processing system
Inventor: THOMPSON SCOTT
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: The invention concerns an electronic processor for use in processing cash transactions comprising an electronic processor and a database. The processor has: 1) an interface for receiving a request from a member using the system for generating a coded number representing a desired cash value to be purchased at a remote terminal, for receiving a request that a number previously allocated may be redeemed, for transmitting to the remote terminal a generated number and for transmitting a message to a terminal indicating that a received request for redemption is valid; 2) a validation section for determining whether or not received requests are valid; 3) a number generation section for generating a coded number in response to a valid request; and 4) a storage section for storing each number generated in response to a valid request in a first table of the database and for storing the total value of cash represented by issued coded numbers which have not been redeemed in a Fund table and for transferring a coded number the redemption of which has been validated to a second table and decrementing the total value in the Fund table by the value represented by each coded number for which a validated redemption request is received so that every coded number issued can never cause more than one increase in the value represented in the fund table and every coded number redeemed can cause only one decrease in the stored value.

Title: Dual capacity flush valve assembly for a toilet
Inventor: SHIM PETER B S
IPC: E03D3/00
Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: A dual-flush flapper valve assembly, set for a normally short flush, is provided for use with a pivoting flapper valve in a flush tank. The assembly comprises a weight, which moves back and forth along a guide relative to the flapper's pivot point. The moveable weight, if activated, temporarily reduces the turning moment arm of the flapper for ensuring a long flush. The assembly further comprises an actuator to trap and release the weight, resulting in either a short flush (when the weight is remote from the pivot) or a long flush (when the weight is close to the pivot). The flapper assembly is engageable through a resistance force, for selectively triggering the actuator, shifting the weight and resulting in a long flush. After a long flush the assembly resets for a short flush, until activated once again.

Patent CA-2422792-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PELKA DAVID G
IPC: G09F13/20
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: L'invention traite d'une source de fluorescence pour une large gamme d'applications d'éclairage, comme des panneaux de signalisation, des dessins architecturaux ou automobiles ainsi que des caractéristiques cosmétiques et/ou fonctionnelles d'autres produits . Cette source peut être créée en associant un collecteur de lumière comprenant une feuille d'un matériau possédant une substance fluorescente intégrée et un élément optique juxtaposé adjacent au collecteur. La lumière incidente sur le collecteur induit une fluorescence qui est piégée par réflexion interne totale, concentrée et émise à partir d'un bord du collecteur. La taille de la plaque du collecteur par rapport à son épaisseur est telle qu'elle fournit une image intensifiée le long de son bord qui est aisément visible tant de jour que de nuit. L'élément optique modifie la répartition de la lumière émise à partir d'un bord du collecteur. Cet élément optique est configuré, de préférence, pour augmenter la divergence de lumière émise à partir du bord. Cet élément optique peut également diriger la lumière émise à partir du collecteur au-dessus ou au-dessous du plan de ce dernier. De préférence, cet élément optique comprend un élément optique ne formant pas d'imagerie. La conception du collecteur peut également varier en fonction des besoins. Ce collecteur peut, par exemple, être cintré pour diriger la lumière vers le haut ou vers le bas et peut comprendre une pile de couches ou une série de segments qui sont fluorescents selon différentes longueurs d'ondes de manière à produire une sortie multicolore.

Title: Steering system for articulated vehicles
Inventor: WILDEY ALLAN J
IPC: B62D5/07
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: A steering system for an articulated vehicle has a microprocessor connected to a proportional solenoid valve which controls the direction, amount and rate of flow of hydraulic fluid to and from hydraulic articulation cylinders, which provide articulation between the frames of the articulated vehicle. A positional feedback sensor measures the angle of articulation between the frames and communicates the angle of articulation to the processor. A gear sensor monitors the gear that the vehicle is in and communicates it to the processor. A user input device allows a user to select the desired level of steering sensitivity and also allows the user to input the size of the tires installed on the vehicle. A steering device allows the operator to provide steering input and communicates electrical steering signals to the processor based on the steering input from the operator. The processor controls the valve to provide the steering response selected by the operator, to emulate castoring so that the vehicle is returned to a straight ahead position in the center position of the steering device, to vary the stop angle based on the tire size and to gradually stop articulation at the stop angle, to gradually start and stop articulation so as to avoid hydraulic hammering. If the steering valve has a source of supply which is common to other valves of the hydraulic system, the processor can also control all of the valves to give priority to the steering valve. In addition, the interface between the steering device and the processor is the same for different types of steering devices, i.e., a steering wheel or a joystick, so that different types of steering devices may be easily provided, depending on a customer's request.
Patent CA-2444078-A1 (CA)
Title: Reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer with buried dispersion compensation module
Inventor: KELLY COLIN GEOFFREY
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2003-10-09
Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided for chromatic dispersion compensation of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical signals within an optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) and especially within a remotely reconfigurable add/drop multiplexer (RROADM). The arrangement is especially useful in metro or regional networks where RROADMs can be dynamically reconfigured to deliver signals from any node to any other node. A dispersion compensation module (DCM) is located in the multiplexed through path of the RROADM between the drop module and the add module such that only wavelengths passing through the RROADM are compensated and shorter optical paths traversing only one span between adjacent nodes are not compensated. This allows lower cost static DCMs to be used, allows more flexibility in DCM values and allows fewer DCMs to be used while maintaining dispersion limits.

Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: The invention provides improved crib bar padding. The invention provides padding to each bar of a crib individually allowing improved airflow through the crib to address concerns that have caused experts to advise against using traditional flat panel style crib bumper pads. The invention completely pads the crib bar to help prevent bruises which can occur when infants are old enough to raise themselves up above the level of the traditional flat panel style crib bumper pads. The crib bar padding forms a small diameter so that unlike flat panel style crib bumper pads, it is impossible for infants to smother themselves against the padding. Infants cannot use the crib bar padding to help them escape the crib.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing electronic tokens to increase broadcasting tokens is disclosed. Electronic tokens comprise encoded data that are embedded within broadcasting content and radiated from broadcast appliances, such as in the inaudible ranges of an acoustic spectrum or in an electromagnetic spectrum. The radiated tokens are then captured by a token capture device (TCD) possessed by a consumer. Upon receipt of the token from the broadcast, the TCD processes the token and becomes of value to the consumer. For example, the token may cause the TCD to light up, indicating that the consumer has won a prize. A TCD having indication of token receipt thereon may then be redeemed by the consumer for a prize, thus generating incentive for viewing the broadcast and using the TCD to capture the tokens embedded therein,
