Title: System and method for rapid document conversion
Inventor: HALAHMI EREZ
IPC: G07F15/00
Filed: 2001-02-28
Abstract: A method and a system for converting a document in a streamed manner, resulting in rapid transmission and display of each part of a document as that part is converted. The system and method are preferred for operation in environments with limited bandwidth and/or display capacity, such as wireless handheld devices. Since such devices cannot easily receive large amounts of data, and also typically have relatively small display screens, the present invention allows the user to quickly receive and display each part of a document after being converted, rather than waiting for the entire document to be converted and then transmitted before any part is displayed. In addition, the invention is particularly useful for modulator file formats, such as word processing document file formats, in which each module of a file can only be fully interpreted with regard to at least one other module. The present invention utilizes conversion server (26) and instruction agent (14) for conversion of document source (20), with the resulting document displayed on display device (12).

Patent CA-2410707-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHO STEVE T
IPC: H01L29/84
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: A micro-machined absolute pressure sensor and process for making the same. A  semiconductor membrane having a welled portion connected to a planar periphery is formed in recess in a silicon substrate through etching and boron diffusion. A dielectric pad is formed on a portion of the planar periphery, and a bonding layer of polysilicon or amorphous silicon is deposited over the semiconductor membrane and the dielectric pad. After an etching process that defines the outline of the semiconductor membrane, the bonding layer is bonded to a nonconductive substrate in a vacuum using electrostatic bonding or wafer bonding, forming a vacuum-sealed reference cavity. A first and a second conductor are disposed on an upper surface of the nonconductive substrate. The first conductor serves as a capacitor plate disposed within the reference cavity and is connected to a transfer lead that passes from the cavity. The transfer lead is electrically isolated from the semiconductor membrane by the dielectric pad. The second conductor is electrically connected to the semiconductor membrane. The semiconductor membrane and the capacitor plate store an electrical charge that varies as a function of the distance between the capacitor plate and the semiconductor membrane. The semiconductor membrane flexes in response to pressure, changing the capacitance and the charge, so as to indicate the pressure of external fluid acting on the semiconductor membrane.

Abstract: It shall be created a gas socket that allows a gas connector plug to get quickly connected and disconnected. When no gas connector plug is connected the gas socket should be tamper-proof and offer protection against the ingress of foreign matter. Also, the gas socket should be fit for concealed installation.  Accordingly, the gas socket has a bonnet (18) that shuts the connector opening (20) at the outlet socket (3) by means of a cover (21) when the gas connector plug is disconnected, and where said cover (21) is equipped with a latching device (29). Such latching device (29) is brought into a state ready for unlatching by a first attempt to insert the gas connector plug (24), to which the cover's (21) latching device (29) is adjusted, into an uptake opening (23). At least one additional move of the gas connector plug (24) is needed to make the connector opening (20) of the outlet socket (3) accessible for the gas connector plug (24) to be connected.

Title: Method and apparatus for synthesizing virtual interaction between rigid and deformable bodies
Inventor: MOHAMMADI MOHSEN MAHVASH
IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 2003-05-28
Abstract: To synthesize virtual contact resulting from rigid object acting on a deformable body, a method is used whereby a surface of a deformable body meshed into polygons carries a finite set of responses corresponding to actual responses between the object and the body which are calculated or measured in a preprocessing step and stored into memory. Response data associated with the currently active polygon is obtain ed from the memory and the response is synthesized for any point on the surface and any position of the rigid object, including reproduction of friction. By accessi ng pre- processed response data, the computational complexity is reduced, while the determination of the relative position of the point of contact within the currently active polygon makes it possible use a double interpolation process that ensures continuity of rendered forces and the passivity of the synthesized interacti on although the original data is known only at a discrete locations.
