Patent CA-2609736-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAN SCOYOC VELISSA
IPC: A61B5/01
Filed: 2007-11-07
Abstract: A thermometer for measuring body temperature in two different regions of a patient's body is provided. The thermometer includes a body and a probe fastened to the body. The probe has a tip portion disposed away from the body, and a temperature sensor is disposed on the tip of the probe. A supporting arm is pivotably attached to the body so that it can pivot between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the arm nests with the body so that the probe may be used to measure oral or rectal temperature. In the open position, the arm is positioned away from the body to provide a retaining surface for positioning the probe to measure axillary temperature.

Title: Fuel economy system and method for a vehicle
Inventor: POULIN JEAN
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 2007-11-15
Abstract: A fuel economy method and system consists of using a signal control unit connected to a throttle of a vehicle and to a mass sensor for sensing a mass of a load carried by the vehicle. When the sensor senses that the mass is withi n a predetermined mass range, the signal control unit reduces the range of outpu t of the engine. The unmodified engine output range and modified engine output range extend from a minimum engine output to, respectively, an unmodified maximum engine output to a modified maximum engine output lower than the unmodified engine output and thereby requiring less fuel. Accordingly, the range of engine output, and notably the maximum engine output available, is reduced when the mass is in the pre-determined mass range, thus reducing fue l consumption compared to the unmodified output range.

Title: Exercise garment with crotch part
Inventor: SEIKE NOZOMU
IPC: A41D1/08
Filed: 2007-09-12
Abstract: To provide an exercise garment with crotch part that is capable of sufficiently improving performance of various types of exercises accompanied by three-dimensional movements such as rotation of the trunk and rotation/outward rotation/inward rotation of both legs. In an exercise garment with crotch part 1, when it is being worn, tightening forces of first tightening portions 21 act on the muscle groups existing around the greater trochanter, so that [the muscle groups] are supported to broaden the extent of mobility of the pelvic band. On the other hand, on the inside of the closed-loop first tightening portions 21, the space between a first line 21a and a second line 21b gradually becomes wider toward the greater trochanter position A, whereby a side hole 24 is formed. Due to such formation of the side hole 24, the greater trochanter of the wearer is prevented from being pressed directly by the first tightening portions 21. Therefore, in the exercise garment with crotch part 1, the first tightening portions 21 can support the muscle groups surrounding the greater trochanter and the side hole 24 can secure flexibility of the pelvic band, whereby performance of various types of exercises can be effectively improved.

Inventor: BROUWER MICHAEL
IPC: G06F21/22
Filed: 2004-09-10
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for quickly and easily authenticating large computer program. The system operates by first sealing the computer program with digital signature in an incremental manner. Specifically, the computer program is divided into a set of pages and a hash value is calculated for each page. The set of hash values is formed into a hash value array and then the hash value array is then sealed with a digital signature. The computer program is then distributed along with the hash value array and the digital signature. To authenticate the computer program, a recipient first verifies the authenticity of the hash value array with the digital signature and a public key. Once the hash value array has been authenticated, the recipient can then verify the authenticity of each page of the computer program by calculating a hash of a page to be loaded and then comparing with an associated hash value in the authenticated hash value array.  If the hash values do not match, then execution may be halted.
