Patent CA-2371496-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEBERT THOMAS G
IPC: H04W16/30
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: In a wireless microcell distribution system, a method is provided for level adjustment of signals from the microcells in which a shortened gain tone is used to minimize interference with a phone call. The gain tones for the primary and diversity receive paths from a microcell, rather than being generated simultaneously, are brought up independently. In one embodiment, each of the gain tones is limited to 120 milliseconds. Gain tone measurement is likewise done on an independent basis so that rather than both of the gain tones being on simultaneously for the entire measurement period, each of the gain tones only needs to be on for that portion of the measurement period corresponding to the measurement of the gain tone for the primary or diversity receive path. Additionally, the absolute amplitude of the gain tones is reduced to minimize the impact of the automatic gain control on the system.  Moreover, in one embodiment, rather than being injected at the primary and diversity circulators coupled to the primary and diversity receiving antennas, the shortened gain tones are injected after the first down-conversion stages so that the power level at which the gain tones are injected can be increased, thus to reduce vulnerability to noise.

Title: Voice-operated services
Inventor: ATTWATER DAVID JOHN
IPC: G10L15/26
Filed: 1995-10-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a database where entries are linked to at least two sets of patterns. Recognition means recognise-within a received signal one or more patterns of a first set of patterns. The recognised patterns are used to identify entries and compile a list of patterns in a second set of patterns to which those entries are also linked. The list is then used to recognise a second received signal. The received signals may, for example, be voice signals or signals indicating the origin or destination of the received signals.
Patent CA-2372787-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SWENSEN TRACEY ANNE
IPC: A47G23/02
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: The invention provides a stand for a stemmed drinking implement, such as a wine glass, and in a preferred form provides a stake for insertion into the ground and a support for engaging and supporting the cup of the drinking implement, rather than the base of the drinking implement with the base of the glass raised above the ground. Since the region of support is much nearer to the center of gravity than the base or even above the center of gravity of the drinking implement, the stability of the drinking implement in the stand is much improved compared to merely placing the drinking implement directly on the ground. Provision of a stake permits that the stand can accommodate uneven or sloping ground easily. In one broad form the invention provides a stand for a stemmed glass or the like including a base portion for attachment to or insertion into a relatively stable object and at least one support portion for holding a stemmed glass. The support portion is adapted to engage the cup portion of the glass to hold the glass above the ground in a generally upright position.

Patent CA-2380132-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for manufacturing a filter body
Inventor: STADERMANN GABRIELE
IPC: B01D39/20
Filed: 2002-04-02
Abstract: The first step of a method for manufacturing polymer-bonded filter bodies is to produce a mixture of a sorptive agent, a liquid, and a polymer. This mixture is then pressed into a filter body by being placed in a compression mold and simultaneously applying a hot gas to it. The evaporation temperature of the liquid is lower than the melting temperature of the polymer while the temperature of the hot gas flowing through the mixture exceeds the evaporation temperature of the liquid. This inexpensive method can provide homogeneously structured high-performance filter bodies.
Patent CA-2383962-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MURPHY ELLA
IPC: C02F5/00
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: A filtration module has a plurality of hollow fiber nanofiltration or reverse osmosis membranes suspended between a pair of opposed headers. The lumens of the membranes are the retentate or feed side. The membranes are arranged in groups, such as sectors of a cylinder, and form preceding or succeeding stages. A permeate collection plenum is in direct fluid communication with each stage. The stages are connected by caps typically having dividers located at the ends of the module. The module is used to filter water and, when optionally fitted with hollow fibre membranes adapted to selectively rehect hardness causing salts, is used to remove hardness. Methods of cleaning using acidic solutions or gaseous carbon dioxide are discussed. Cleaning methods include adding acid to the feed water continuously or periodically during permeation, flushing the module with an acidic solution while not permeating and holding an acidic solution or gaseaous carbon dioxide in the module for a period of time while not permeating followed by flushing. A filtration system is also disclosed.

IPC: A44B19/26
Filed: 2001-03-15
Abstract: A zipper profile for a fastener assembly is provided. The profile includes a male element (106) and a female element (100). The female element has a pair of jaws (101, 121) that are movable with respect to one another about a common fulcrum region (102) and a pair of arms (103, 123), each of which are coupled to a corresponding one of the pair of jaws at the fulcrum region. Each of the arms has an end (104, 105) opposite from the fulcrum region that is shaped for engagement with a slider (208), and the jaws have an open position and a closed position. The arms are disposed to cause movement of the jaws between the closed position and the open position when the arms experience displacement about the fulcrum region. Displacement about the fulcrum region may be effectuated by motion of a slider relative to the arms.      The male element is captured by the female element when the jaws are in the closed position and released when the jaws are in the open position.

Title: Reclosable bag
Inventor: HEASLIP THOMAS
IPC: B31B19/90
Filed: 2001-05-21
Abstract: The reclosable bag has a gusset side structure (15) so that the bag can be self-supporting on its bottom surface. The reclosable structure can be an internal structure or an external structure. As an external structure the front and rear walls extend above the reclosable seal (30) and are bonded together above the reclosable seal. This extended wall structure is removed to remove this tamper evident seal (25). If within the bag the tamper evident seal is composed of a loop of film extending downward from each side of the reclosable seal to seal the contents of the bag. This loop must be broken to open the bag. The preferred reclosable seal is a zipper (30) with bonded stays on each end to maintain the zipper on the bag. The bag has diagonal seals at the lower corners for forming a flat bottom to the bag and at the upper corners to provide vents for pressure equalization. The bags are made by a process where all processing is on line except for forming the zipper which is constructed off-line. The zipper is added in the machine direction and the gusset sidewalls in the cross-direction. At the end of the bag making line they are severed and printed. The bags can be immediately filled.

Title: System and method for sealing vascular penetrations with hemostatic gels
Inventor: REICH CARY J
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2001-06-16
Abstract: Systems and method for sealing vascular penetrations rely on placement of a temporary barrier (26) on the posterior side of the penetration. Penetrations are then sealed by delivering a hemostatic gel to a region over the penetration, where the barrier (26) both inhibits loss of the gel and promotes back flow of blood into the gel. A combination of natural clotting factors in the blood and hemostatic agents in the gel promote rapid and effective sealing of the vascular penetration. Specific systems for performing the method include a barrier carrier (20) for temporary placement of the barrier (26) within the blood vessel (18) and a gel delivery tube (34) which may be positioned within a tissue tract or line of penetration simultaneously with the barrier carrier (20) to deliver the hemostatic gel.
