Patent CA-2391307-A1 (CA)
Title: Fine particle flowmeter
Inventor: BRANDT ROBERT O JR
IPC: G01F1/20
Filed: 2000-11-10
Abstract: A flow meter (100) for determining the flow rate or mass of a moving stream of fine particles (P) comprises a guide (102) for guiding the material along a predetermined path having an entry end (106) and an exit end (108). A  transducer (200) is operatively associated with one end of the guide and includes a mechanical column connected between a load cell and the exit end of the guide. The load cell produces an electrical output signal proportional to the flowe rate of the material on the guide. A vibrator for vibrating the guide is provided and serves to keep the flow stream moving and wherein the plane of vibration is perpendicular to the plane of measurement, thus eliminating measurement error due to the vibrational forces.

Title: Method and system for continuous interactive communication in an electronic network
Inventor: BLAIR JOHN
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2000-11-22
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for providing continuous, interactive communication among devices on an electronic network (110). A permanent, dedicated symmetric connection is provided between a server application and a client device (164). Both client and server can therefore communicate bi-directionally. Message storage is provided for allowing messages to be stored (166, 178) while the client is offline or otherwise unavailable. The method and system is operable with any addressable device (164, 174, 174) on the electronic network. The invention can be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, prior art electronic network communication methods. The invention implements an advanced message routing system. A set of base capabilities are built on top of the message routing system. The communication method and system according to the present invention use a graphical user interface to virtually represent the applications that are used to interact with the electronic network. These graphical representations (276) are used to facilitate the transmission and receipt of messages across the electronic network. Applications according to the present invention are grouped into different levels according to their increasing levels of power and specificity. An interface (384, 472) is also provided to iconically represent the underlying interactive connections of the communication system. The present invention provides a one-to-one connection for bi-directionally publishing and receiving messages and a one-to-many connection. This interface enables applications to interact and deliver any type of focused functionality.

Title: Reduced length pressure compensating liquid flow regulator
Inventor: WILFERT RUSSELL DEAN
IPC: G05D7/01
Filed: 2000-12-14
Abstract: A reduced length, pressure compensating liquid flow regulator includes a poppet (20) defining a longitudinally extending hollow cylinder (32) having a front sensing orifice (38) and rear orifice (40). A retainer (24) maintains a biasing spring (22) at least partially within the cylinder (32), and biases the rear orifice (40) away seat (26). The seat has a closed front face (60) spaced from and facing the cylinder (32), side passages (62) rearwardly of the seat front face (60), and a downstream passage (64). A hollow housing (28) slidably receives the cylinder.

Abstract: A method and system for determining the dominant cerebral hemisphere of a subject. There is further provided a method and system for using information obtained regarding hemisphere dominance for programming electronic devices such as robots, prostheses, as well as methods for using such information during treatment and surgical procedures in order to obtain superior function and/or movement when there is injury or disease to an area of the brain. The present invention employs a vectorial view of the role of callosum in the underpinning lateralities of speech and handedness, and as such, provides a technical definition of handedness (i.e., which hemisphere of the cerebrum is dominant in a particular individual subject). This technical definition is then used to completely accurately replicate or predict voluntary movements of the subject and this information, in turn, can be utilized in the field of prosthetics and robotics in order to obtain more accurate depiction of brain function and hence, more authentic replication of movement.

Title: Patient care management systems and methods
Inventor: GIRARD NADYNE
IPC: G16H40/20
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: A patient care management system for assisting a physician in monitoring drug use by a patient. The system receives drug dispensation data for a drug, on the basis of which the system determines drug supply availability data. The drug supply availability data is indicative of periods of time during which the drug was available in non-duplicate supply, or in oversupply, or in insufficient supply. The periods of time are displayed with respect to a common time base. Each degree of supply availability is visually displayed via a graphical user interface using, e.g., a color coded scheme, so as to be distinguishable by a user. This allows a physician to rapidly assess over-consumption or compliance problems. Plural drugs may be monitored on a single display screen. The system may also be adapted to allow an prescribing physician to assess refill compliance, hospitalization periods and prescription drug costs.
