Patent CA-2663336-A1 (CA)
Title: Polyester compositions and method for preparing articles by extrusion blow molding
Inventor: SEQUEIRA CLARENCE
IPC: B29C48/285
Filed: 2009-04-20
Abstract: Polyester compositions described herein have properties which are particularly suitable for extrusion blow molding (EBM). These properties relate primarily to the rate of crystallization and melt strength or melt viscosity. Articles prepared from the polyester compositions exhibit good clarity, aesthetics, and other physical properties.  The polyester compositions also exhibit broad molecular weight distribution (MWD), resulting in improved processability and melt strength. The crystallization rate allows for good drying characteristics while also enabling the use of regrind. In addition, the compositions exhibit improved recyclability, such as in existing PET recycling streams. In one aspect, articles are prepared in an extrusion blow molding method by combining a dry first polyester copolymer component, a dry second polyester component, and a chain extender to form a feed material suitable for extrusion blow molding. In another aspect, a single component co-polyester and a chain extender are combined to form a feed material.

Abstract: The systems and methods of the client agent describe herein provides a solution to obtaining, recognizing and taking an action on text displayed by an application that is performed in a non-intrusive and application agnostic manner. In response to detecting idle activity of a cursor on the screen, the client agent captures a portion of the screen relative to the position of the cursor. The portion of the screen may include a textual element having text, such as a telephone number or other contact information. The client agent calculates a desired or predetermined scanning area based on the default fonts and screen resolution as well as the cursor position. The client agent performs optical character recognition on the captured image to determine any recognized text. By performing pattern matching on the recognized text, the client agent determines if the text has a format or content matching a desired pattern, such as phone number. In response to determining the recognized text corresponds to a desired pattern, the client agent displays a user interface element on the screen near the recognized text. The user interface element may be displayed as an overlay or superimposed to the textual element such that it seamlessly appears integrated with the application. The user interface element is selectable to take an action associated with the recognized text.

Patent CA-2709717-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PIRZADA SHAHID
IPC: H05H1/24
Filed: 2008-09-17
Abstract: A method to produce barrier coatings (such as nitrides, oxides, carbides) for large area thin film devices such as solar panels or the like using a high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process is presented. The proposed process provides a uniform deposition of barrier coating(s) such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon carbide (SiNx, SiO2, SiC) at a high deposition rate on thin film devices such as silicon based thin film devices at low temperature. The proposed process deposits uniform barrier coatings (nitrides, oxides, carbides) on large area substrates (about Im x 0.5m and larger) at a high frequency (27-81 MHz). Stable plasma maintained over a large area substrate at high frequencies allows high ionization density resulting in high reaction rates at lower temperature.
