Patent CA-2497386-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASAHIKO FUKAZAWA
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2003-09-15
Abstract: An order placement (20a) and acceptance (30a) management system is presented.  In an exemplary embodiment, an order acceptance management apparatus ("OAMA") receives a predetermined quotation request transmitted by an order placement management apparatus. The OAMA generates a quotation result (313) based on data on products and services which is segmented and stored in a database. The order placement management apparatus ("OPMA") as well as a transaction management apparatus ("TMA") store the quotation results transmitted by the OAMA in their own respective storage units, and the OPMA can choose amongst the received quotations to place an order. In an exemplary embodiment, other order placement management apparatuses can also use the quotation results and data on completed transactions which are stored in the transaction management apparatus as reference prices in order to estimate purchase prices for future transactions or evaluate quotations received from OAMAs.

Patent CA-2509332-A1 (CA)
Title: Extravasation detector
Inventor: BRABRAND KNUT
IPC: A61B8/06
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: Ultrasound Doppler probe (2) is placed above the vein downstream of the infusion site. Processor (4) converts the output from the probe (2) into a form that may be displayed as an image on display unit (5). It also determines whether the velocity corresponds to a flow of contrast medium along the vein.  If the cannula (13) is properly sited and the contrast medium flows as desired along the vein, this will lead to an increased flow velocity in the vein. This is detected by ultrasound probe (2) and, as described above, the processor unit (4) will therefore determine that no extravasation has occurred. However, where extravasation of contrast medium occurs this results in a low or zero velocity output from the probe (2) from which the processor unit (4) determines that extravasation has occurred. It therefore immediately sends a "stop" signal to pump controller (11) which stops pump (10).

Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring parameters of vehicle electronic control units
Inventor: DOYLE THOMAS F
IPC: H04Q9/00
Filed: 1996-03-01
Abstract: A system for monitoring and the adjustment of control unit parameter settings of vehicle electronic control units. The monitoring system may be implemented in a vehicle in which are incorporated one or more electronic control units for regulating one or more operational parameters of the vehicle in accordance with corresponding control unit parameter settings. In an exemplary implementation the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communications terminal, MCT, which receives from a base station a list of operational parameters to be monitored. Each of the electronic control units, as well as a memory unit, are connected to an internal data link of the vehicle. When a parameter value within the memory unit corresponding to a given electronic control unit is changed, a message is provided to the base station specifying the value currently registered by the particular electronic control unit. The currently registered value is then compared to an expected parameter value, and an error message is generated if disagreement exists therebetween. The system also allows vehicle electronic control unit parameter settings to be adjusted from a remote location such as a base station.
