Title: Anti-reversion apparatus
Inventor: LIBBY KELLY
IPC: F02M35/10
Filed: 2004-01-21
Abstract: An anti-reversionary device for installation into the intake or the exhaust of an internal combustion engine comprises an inner pipe substantially centralized in the conduit. A plurality of ports are formed in an annular wall extending between the inner pipe and the conduit. Slower boundary layer gas flow adjacent the conduit is directed through the ports, and accelerated to join the faster gas flow passing through the inner pipe. The annular wall is angled downstream from the inner pipe to the conduit with the ports forming gas flow-directing passages angled radially inwardly. The inner pipe and annular wall are supported in a cylindrical housing forming a unitary body fit to the conduit.  One or more devices can be installed in the conduit.

Patent CA-2459710-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SOMMER JOHN L
IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 2002-09-04
Abstract: An electrical connector has a compressible portion that expands to accept an inserted lead and then contracts around the lead to provide both an electrical and a spring-like mechanical connection to the lead. The connector may have a fluted pin that collapses around the lead body when a set screw of the connector port is tightened. Alternatively, a middle segment of a pin may have indentations or slots that collapse around an inserted lead body. The connector can be attached to the lead body after the lead body is implanted in the body of the patient. In lead systems in which the lead body is implanted using a guide catheter, attaching the connector to the lead body after implantation makes removal of the guide catheter much less difficult.

Inventor: DU PREEZ ANTHONY GERT
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2003-03-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for conducting online auctions, and has particular application in conducting business on-line over a network of computers such as the Internet, for establishing materials supply contracts. In particular, the invention relates to control of a reserve price in an online bidding event. An online auction between a controlling party and at least two competing participants comprises the steps of setting a reserve price for the auction, conducting the auction between the at least two competing parties, determining whether a predetermined time trigger has been reached and suspending the auction if the reserve price is not reached at the time, determining whether the controlling party has selected to enter an optional reserve price negotiation phase, and revising the reserve price for that reserve price negotiation phase, and accordingly, extending the auction based on the revised reserve price. In application to a factored reserve or forward auction event, the invention allows the transparency and integrity of the real time negotiation process to be maintained beyond the normal bidding event and into an auction extension phase based on the revised reserve price.
