Title: Unified interest layer for user interface
Inventor: CHAUDHRI IMRAN A
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 2005-06-24
Abstract: A user-activatable dashboard (also referred to as a unified interest layer) contains any number of user interface elements, referred to herein as ~widgets~, for quick access by a user. In response to a command from a user, the dashboard is invoked and the widgets are shown on the screen. The user can activate the dashboard at any time, causing the dashboard to temporarily replace the existing user interface display on the user~s screen. Once the dashboard has been activated, the user can interact with any or all of the widgets, and can configure the dashboard by adding, deleting, moving, or configuring individual widgets as desired. When the user wishes to return to the normal user interface he or she was working with, the user issues a command causing the dashboard to be dismissed. Once the dashboard has been dismissed, the previous user interface state is restored, allowing the user to resume normal interactions with the operating system.

Title: Layered composite film incorporating quantum dots as programmable dopants
Inventor: MCCARTHY WIL
IPC: G11C19/38
Filed: 2005-06-03
Abstract: Quantum dots are positioned within a layered composite film to produce a plurality of real time programmable dopants within the film . Charge carriers are driven into the quantum dots by energy in connected control paths. The charge carriers are trapped in the quantum dots through quantum confinement, such that the charge carriers form artificial atoms, which serve as dopants for the surrounding materials. The atomic number of each artificial atom is adjusted through precise variations in the voltage across the quantum dot that confines it. The change in atomic number alters the doping characteristics of the artificial atoms. The layered composite film is also configured as a shift register (800).

Abstract: On décrit un liquide pour fracturer des formations souterraines et une méthode dutilisation. Le liquide de fracturation est constitué dun polymère (gomme de guar ou un dérivé de guar) comme agent gélifiant, un tampon, un agent de réticulation différé au borate (minéraux de borate peu solubles) et un tampon à pH élevé. Lors du mélange, le liquide de fracturation possède un faible pH initial pour une hydratation rapide du polymère (et le borate ne réagit pas), permettant une faible pression de friction tubulaire en raison de la faible viscosité. Toutefois, le liquide de fracturation permet un lent changement du pH dun faible pH à un pH plus élevé, où lion borate existe et est disponible pour réticuler et causer la gélification du polymère.

Patent CA-2590064-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SLAVASHEVICH PAUL
IPC: A61K8/92
Filed: 2005-12-14
Abstract: The use of novel nonionic polymeric thickeners that produce cosmetically useful emulsions of an oil phase and a water phase is described. The thickeners of choice are the urethane dimers of ethoxylated fatty alcohols.  These materials were not anticipated to have emulsifying properties. Also, it has been found that the esters of ethoxylated polyols show similar emulsifying behavior, although their uses are limited by their inherent susceptibility towards hydrolysis. Further, many of the emulsions produced with these emulsifiers have a dilatant or shear thickening rheology that is unusual and has unique cosmetic applications. In addition, it is possible to produce high internal phase oil-in-water emulsions, with oil phase concentrations greater than 70%, using these emulsifiers. Finally, many of the emulsions, especially the high internal phase ones, have a characteristic "ring" or vibration that is apparent when their container is tapped. This is a characteristic of so called "microemulsions" that has not been observed in conventional appearing, white (albeit dilatant) emulsions.
