Title: Linear motor
Inventor: LANKIN ROBERT GORDON
IPC: G01D5/16
Filed: 1998-05-01
Abstract: The linear motor comprises a plurality of moving elements travelling along a track, and a stator armature provided substantially along the entire travelling track of moving elements. Each moving element travels separately and independently and comprises n permanent magnets disposed face to face with the stator armature. The magnets are arranged in alternating North and South sequence and have a pole pitch P. The stator armature comprises a plurality of individual coils arranged in a substantially contiguous sequence of individual polyphase-like sets. Each set comprises p overlapping coils having centres thereof spaced apart by a distance P/p, where p >= 2. The motor also comprises a servocontrol system for regulating and commutating the coils so as to produce a separate moving magneto-motive force (MMF) for each moving element. The servocontrol system includes plural processing means for resolving a position of each moving element and for computing a force vector to be applied to each moving element, thereby independently controlling each moving element.
Patent CA-2507993-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CANCRO ROBERT
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 2003-11-03
Abstract: A method for determining effects of a drug on a central nervous system (CNS) of a subject, comprises the steps of: detecting and locating three-dimension al (3-D) brain source regions of first brain waves of the subject using a functional neuroimaging system, the first brain waves being indicative of a CNS disorder and comparing the first brain waves at each of the regions to control data corresponding to brain wave activity of corresponding brain regions in the absence of the CNS disorder. After these steps the drug is administered to the subject and second brain waves of the subject are measur ed from the brain source regions and compared to one of the first brain waves a nd the control data. The drug's effectiveness in regard to the CNS disorder is then determined based on the comparison.

Title: System and method for controlling markets during a stop loss trigger
Inventor: CHADID MAZEN
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: A system mitigates the effects of a market spike caused by the triggering and the election of a conditional order in an automated matching system. The system includes evaluation logic, delay logic, pricing logic and timing logic.  The evaluation logic monitors conditional orders submitted to a trading engine and is configured to compare a price of an order to a first predefined price range. The delay logic delays matching of the orders submitted to the trading engine when the price of the orders lie outside of the first predefined price range. The pricing logic derives an opening price to be used by the trading engine. The timing logic measures a time interval used to delay a matching of the orders until the opening price is within a predefined price range up to a maximum delay time set by a control center. A method of mitigating the effect of a market spike caused by the triggering and the election of a conditional order includes monitoring conditional orders submitted to the trading engine.
