Patent CA-2411984-A1 (CA)
Inventor: REED GARY J
IPC: B23P6/04
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and device which allows the replacement of a damaged thread in an object (12) with a thread identical to the damaged thread by enlarging the original threaded hole and inserting a thread-insert (10) in a newly threaded hole in the object which has an internally threaded hole identical to the original threaded hole. The thread-insert is fastened into the enlarged hole using a thread that securely holds it in place. When the thread-insert is threaded into the enlarged threaded hole, a pocket (11) formed below the drive head of the thread-insert causes metal flow into the pocket to create a seal between the thread-insert and the object.

Patent CA-2422587-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MEEK ROBERT B JR
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-03-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of dispensing or administering medications which requires prompting the user for a reason if the user wants to dispense or intends to administer a medication that is not on the patient's medication profile. For example, a patient may be in severe discomfort, or some other condition exists, that requires dispensing and administration of a medication not approved by a pharmacist for the patient. The method prompts the user to supply a reason (exception) for the dispensing or administering that can be used to create an audit trail. The method may include identifying a patient, accessing a medication profile for the identified patient, selecting a medication for the identified patient, the selected medication not having been reviewed against the patient's medication profile, prompting the user to identify an exception, and reviewing the exception to determine its acceptability. If the exception is acceptable, access to a dispensing apparatus' storage compartment(s) for the purpose of dispensing the medication may be granted and a record of the dispensing event is created, or the healthcare giver may administer the medication and a record of the administration is created. If the exception is not acceptable, a record of the request to dispense or the request to administer is created. The method may further include transferring the override requests and override events to a database containing pharmacy orders. The requests, events, and orders may be sorted according to a predetermined criterion, and presented to a pharmacist for review.

Title: Pitch cycle search range setting apparatus and pitch cycle search apparatus
Inventor: MORII TOSHIYUKI
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 2002-08-01
Abstract: An Adaptive Sound Source Vector Generator (ASSVG) 103 sets preceding and succeeding pitch cycles centered on an integral-accuracy pitch cycle T0 selected in the previous subframe as a range for searching for a fractional-accuracy pitch frequency, and extracts an adaptive sound source vector P(T-frac) that has fractional-accuracy pitch cycle T-frac within this range from an Adaptive Code Book (ACB) 102. A Last Sub Frame Integral Pitch Cycle Storage (LSFIPCS) 108 stores integral component T0 of the optimal pitch cycle selected by a Distortion Comparator (DC) 107, and when a pitch cycle of the next subframe is searched for, outputs this optimal pitch cycle integral component TO to the Adaptive Sound Source Vector Generator (ASSVG) 103. An Optimal Pitch Cycle Accuracy Judge Section (OPCAJS) 109 judges whether the optimal pitch cycle is of integral accuracy or fractional accuracy. A Comparison Judge Section (CJS) 110 restricts the number of times fractional-accuracy pitch information is selected in an optimal pitch cycle.
