Patent CA-2567218-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAFARPOUR SEAN
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 2006-11-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system and computer program for automated debugging for pre-fabricated digital synchronous hardware designs implemented in Hardware Description Language (HDL). Required information is captured by interacting with the verification environment after verification fails. This capture information is used to build a diagnosis problem where the solution is a set of logic level error sources.  Using the HDL information, the error at the logic level is translated to gates, modules, statements, and signals in the HDL description. The diagnosis problem can be solved efficiently formulating a Quantified Boolean Formula (QBF) problem and also by using the hierarchical and modular nature of the HDL design during diagnosis.

Title: Automatic mixing and dilution methods and apparatus for online characterization of equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of solutions containing polymers and/or colloids
Inventor: REED WAYNE F
IPC: G01N30/02
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: A device is developed that is capable of automatically and continuously extracting fluid from a polymer-containing vessel and mixing this with a solvent such that the final fluid is dilute enough that single particle light scattering, spectrophotometric and other measurements can be made on it.  Whereas many sampling and dilution devices exist, the novelty of this invention consists in its ability to deal with very high viscosities, including those laden with bubbles, and to introduce only a short delay time between sampling and measurement. The device is ideally suited for situations where the viscosity of the polymer-containing vessel changes over a wide range during the course of a reaction; e.g. polymerization, polymer degradation, aggregation, and others. Furthermore, provision is made for modular conditioning stages, such as changing solvent conditions, evaporating monomer, filtering, etc. The amount of sample actually withdrawn for measurement is very low, normally on the order of 0.25ml to 5ml per hour. The device can also vary the dilution factor either automatically or manually during operation.

Title: Distributed request routing
Inventor: CHEN WAI
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2005-03-24
Abstract: A plurality of servers for processing client requests forward the requests among themselves to achieve a balanced load. When a server initially receives a client request, it randomly selects another of the plurality of servers, referred to as a first-chance server, and forwards the request to this server.  Upon receiving the request, the first-chance server determines if it is overloaded and if not, processes the request. However, if overloaded, the first-chance server compares its load to the load of one or more predetermined next-neighbor servers. If the next-neighbor server(s) are more loaded than the first-chance server, the first-chance server processes the request. Otherwise, the first-chance server forwards the request to the least loaded next-neighbor server. The next-~neighbor receiving the request either processes it directly, or alternatively, based on its current load and that of its next-neighbor server(s), forwards the request to another next-neighbor server for

Title: Rapid exchange emboli capture guidewire system and methods of use
Inventor: DIAZ PEDRO
IPC: A61F2/01
Filed: 2007-02-01
Abstract: A catheterization system and method including a rapid exchange emboli capture guidewire system comprising a distal emboli protection device is disclosed. The protection device is delivered to an area of interest via a delivery sheath including a longitudinal exit configured to permit the sheath to be peeled away from the guidewire to speed its removal. A capture sheath having a side-port is used to capture and retrieve the filter after a catheterization treatment procedure in a time saving manner. A torque steering device is used to steer the device and is adapted to clamp onto the guidewire while leaving sheaths free to prevent inadvertent steering of the sheaths. Using the sheaths of the present invention also allows systems to use shorter guidewires than prior art systems, further speeding the catheterization procedures being performed.

Abstract: A bird feeder has telescopically aligned inner and outer cylindrical housings with opposed surfaces of complementary shape that are reverse tapered in a substantially vertical direction to enable guided vertical movement of the housings with respect to each other. The housings have openings in their side walls which are substantially in alignment when the outer housing is in an upper position and misaligned when the outer housing is in a lower position.                                                           A compression spring centrally located about the vertical axis of the feeder is confined within a lower portion of the feeder and biases the outer housing to its upper position. When the outer housing is moved to its lower position by the weight of a squirrel overcoming the biasing force of the compression spring, the housing openings are substantially misaligned such that no significant through opening exists, thereby preventing access to the birdseed.
