Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé servant à déterminer l'état de charge de filtrats de masses de fibres utilisées dans la fabrication de papier et de carton. Dans ce procédé, un échantillon est filtré à partir de fibres à travers un filtre et une couleur indicatrice est ajoutée au filtrat. L'absorbance du filtrat est mesurée et l'état de charge de la solution est lu à partir d'une courbe d'étalonnage préalablement établie, qui correspond à l'absorbance mesurée. Dans le premier mode de réalisation de cette invention, on produit la courbe d'étalonnage en prélevant une quantité suffisante d'échantillons dans le même échantillon anionique et en ajoutant à ces échantillons des quantités connues différentes d'agents cationiques, une partie au moins de ces échantillons étant cationique et une partie au moins de ces échantillons étant anionique. Les états de charge des échantillons filtrés sont déterminés selon une technique déjà connue, par exemple par titrage cationique ou par mesures potentiométriques, puis les absorbances correspondant à ces états de charge sont mesurées et une courbe ou un tableau d'étalonnage est tracé, où une absorbance donnée correspond à un état de charge donné.

Patent CA-2356627-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEUFELD ARTHUR JAMES
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 1999-12-09
Abstract: In a system for mobile wireless communication, it is desirable to minimize the period of time during which the RF circuitry is powered (i.e. the RF power period). A novel method and apparatus for pilot monitoring during standby mode defers processing of pilot search results until the RF power period has passed. This approach allows more searches to be performed without extending the RF power period, thus improving idle handoff performance without reducing battery charge life.

Abstract: A modular fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) module that interlocks with other similarly designed modules. Specifically, each FRP module has a female, receiver, end and a male, inserter, end such that the inserter of a first FRP module interlocks with or "snaps into" or "slids into," a receiver of an adjacent second FRP module. Once interlocked, the two connected FRP modules are further secured by either adhesive and/or thermal connections. An FRP module is made of multiple layers of multi-axial fiber reinforcement and a resin matrix, the layers being continuous throughout the entire shape of the module. An overlay may be placed over the top face of one or more FRP modules joined together to provide a uniform surface. In addition, one or more exterior FRP composite laminates, grids, plates or fabrics may be bonded continuously to the top face. In certain embodiments, one or more of the internal spaces of a FRP module may be filled with a filler for thermal insulation, noise reduction insulation, or a strength and stability enhancement of the FRP module.

Title: Method and apparatus for simplifying and accelerating the definition, dynamic generation and identification of geographic regions
Inventor: EBERT PETER
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2001-05-03
Abstract: A system and method for defining, generating and identifying a geographic area is disclosed. This may be done by establishing zip codes as the basic building blocks for the geographic area. For example, the United States may represent a region, which includes all of the zip codes in the United States. A region may also be divided into mutually exclusive subregions. For example, individual states within the United States may represent the subregions, wherein the individual states represent all of the zip codes within that state. The subregions are then divided into mutually exclusive sections. For example, zip codes within the individual states may represent the sections. Simplified syntax is then used to allow a user to submit a query including parameters to identify subregions or sections that are to be included or excluded from the defined geographic area within the region. The system then processes this query and outputs a response representative of the query.

Title: An economical soap bar and the method for producing the same
Inventor: MOHAMMAD AMIN ABBAS
IPC: C11D9/24
Filed: 2002-06-17
Abstract: "The present invention (An Economical Soap Bar and the method for producing the same) relates to a process of improving a regular soap bar. The process involves coating all sides of the soap bar, with the exception of one larger side, with a thin layer of a waterproof material with or without additives, such as coloring or essences.  The improved soap bar has an advantage of lasting longer than regular soap bar, because only one side (the uncoated side) is susceptible to water during use. In addition, the improved soap bar does not become excessively soft in places and regions with high humidity due to its waterproof coating. The waterproof material can be, but not be limited to a synthetic polymer waxes, natural bee's wax, micro-crystalline wax, petroleum jelly, snow white petroleum, paraffin wax, gel wax and the like. The soap bar, in connection with the present invention, means any soap use for personal hygiene."
