Patent CA-2349652-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAGNON ALLAIN
IPC: B60C23/06
Filed: 2001-06-04
Abstract: A vibration monitor is mounted on a vehicle for monitoring vibrations in the axles and wheels of the vehicle which may indicate some type of failure associated with the wheels. The monitor includes sensors mounted on the axles which are connected to a control box for disabling the vehicle in response to receipt of a vibration signal from the sensors. The control box is arranged to vent the air brake circuit of the truck for applying the brakes of the truck if the control box receives a vibration signal from the sensors having a magnitude which exceeds an acceleration threshold and a duration which exceeds a time threshold determined by the control box. In one embodiment, electrical acceleration sensors are provided which transmit the vibration signals to the control box using an intermittent RF signal having a unique identification signal for indicating which sensor has recorded each vibration signal.

Title: Separation of charged particles by a spatially and temporally varying electric field
Inventor: BADER JOEL S
IPC: G01N27/26
Filed: 1999-12-09
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and device for separating particles according to their diffusivities in a separation medium by means of a spatially and temporally varying electric potential. The method takes advantage of the transport of charged particles subject to an electric potential that is cycled between an off-state (in which the potential is flat) and one or more on-states, in which the potential is preferably spatially periodic with a plurality of eccentrically shaped stationary wells. The potential wells are at a constant spatial positions in the on-state.  Differences in liquid-phase diffusivities lead to charged particle separation.  A separation medium fills physically defined separation lanes (15) in the device. Electrodes deposited substantially transverse to the lanes create the required potential. Advantageously, injection ports (16) allow sample loading, and special gating electrodes focus the sample prior to separation.

Title: P-812 xray drain maintainer
Inventor: LINDSTROM MICHAEL LEE
IPC: A61L11/00
Filed: 2001-11-05
Abstract: The invention describes an improved method of flushing spent X-Ray developing fluid down the drain. The filter includes an input for continual water flow and another input for the developing fluid to drip into. The water and the spent X-Ray developing fluid are mixed in the primary filter at a ratio of at least 20 parts water to 1 part spent X-ray developing fluid. The slurry is then forced through the primary and secondary filters containing steel wool to attract some of the hydroquinone out of the slurry.  The remaining hydroquinone in the slurry is then flushed down the drain. The filter unit is pressurized to maintain a constant flow of slurry down the drain. The constant flow of slurry will suspend the hydroquinone from crystallizing to the pipes.

Abstract: Areas are hierarchically ensured as directories for data to be recorded in advance. Therefore directories and files are continuously arranged as much as possible on a disk, and the number of seeks during data read, which is conventionally large because other data is mixed in the same area, is decreased to as few as possible. When the files and directories belonging to directory 1(DIR1) and directory 2 (DIR2) are recorded on a disk and when the files and directories belonging to directory 1 (DIR1) are recorded in an area-ensuring mode, an area on a disk for the files and directories belonging to the directory 1 (DIR1) is ensured previously. The positions where lower-order Files 1, 2 and directories of the directory 1( DIR1) are recorded in an area concerning the directory 1(DIR1) as in the case of File 1-1, File 1-2, and File 12. File 3 of the directory 2 (DIR2) is not recorded in continuous areas for the directory 1 (DIR1).

Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: A video-on-demand service is facilitated by encrypting, before purchase requests by subscribers, content such as a movie in accordance with one or a series of control words protected by a program key. The transport mechanism for delivery is an MPEG compliant transport mechanism, and the program key is encrypted and contained in an entitlement control message (ECM). The ECMs are transmitted to the set-top terminal associated with the subscriber for a limited time defining a service acquisition window. Thereafter, transmission of some or all ECMs are suppressed. This reduces the likelihood that an unauthorized terminal will intercept the ECM containing the program key, which is needed to descramble the content.
