Filed: 1999-09-03
Granted: 2003-10-14
Abstract: A door security device operative to secure the door in a fully closed and partially opened state is disclosed.      A vertically oriented housing mounted close to the handle side on the inside surface of the door contains a coaxial brace bar, the bottom end of which extends out of the housing, but does not reach the floor. A second vertically oriented brace bar is slideably mounted onto horizontal rods, which are affixed proximate to the bottom of the vertical brace bar. To lock the door, the bottom end of the slideable brace bar is inserted into one of two different floor plugs, the first of which is positioned adjacent to the location of the closed door (bracing the door in a fully closed position) and the second of which is positioned slightly interior to the first (bracing the door in a manner that allows it to be partially opened). If no security is desired, the entire device may be lifted in the housing, rotated into planar contact with the door, and locked in an inactive position. The locking mechanism can also be used to lock the device in any of the active positions.

Title: Adding a code in an application during runtime to enrich object behaviour
Inventor: DI CESARE LAURENT
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2000-04-13
Granted: 2003-08-12
Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for allowing an end-user to define at run-time the way an object in the system will react to existing operations, or events, that are later performed on the object. In the system of the invention, the end-user can attach to the object code specifying behavior that the user wishes the object to exhibit from that point forward. The code defining the new or additional behavioral features will be interpreted by the applications software so that each time an event or operation is performed on the object, the system will recognize that the object has user-specified behavior associated therewith. The code remains associated with the object. In the system of the invention, there is no need to exit the application software. The new code specifying the desired behavior is immediately callable and executable by the system upon being input.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle architecture à canaux multiples (265) qui permet de passer des annonces publicitaires ciblées en utilisant des stations terminales de télévision (220) reliées à un centre des opérations (202) ou à une tête de ligne (208), les émissions télévisées étant diffusées par voie radiophonique. Le procédé de l'invention met en oeuvre un matériel de réception de données amont (262, 275, 297), des bases de données (301) et un matériel et des logiciels de traitement (285, 293) pour accomplir ces fonctions. Pendant les pauses publicitaires dans les émissions de télévision, les annonces publicitaires, également diffusées par voie radiophonique, sont affichées. Toutefois, des canaux de distribution supplémentaires diffusent des annonces de substitution pouvant mieux convenir pour certaines catégories de télespectateurs. Le centre des opérations (202) ou la tête de ligne (208) produit un plan de répartition des tâches par groupe (293, 299) qui affectent les stations terminales de télévision (220) à des groupes, sur la base de facteurs tels que les zones d'influence dominante ou le revenu des ménages. Un plan de commutation (291) est ensuite produit qui donne instruction aux stations terminales de télévision (220) de poursuivre l'émission radiophonique ou de commuter sur un des canaux de distribution pendant les pauses. Les stations terminales de télévision (220) notent celles des chaînes qui ont été regardées pendant les pauses et transmettent cette information à la tête de ligne (208) et au centre des opérations (202). L'information transmise est utilisée pour établir une facturation à l'intention des annonceurs commerciaux et pour étudier les habitudes télévisuelles des téléspectateurs.

Patent CA-2350099-C (CA)
Inventor: ROHMUND FRANK
IPC: B01J19/26
Filed: 1999-11-03
Granted: 2008-05-20
Abstract: The present invention discloses the process of supplying high pressure (e.g., 30 atmospheres) CO that has been preheated (e.g., to about 1000 °C) and a catalyst precursor gas (e.g., Fe(CO)5) in CO that is kept below the catalyst precursor decomposition temperature to a mixing zone. In this mixing zone, the catalyst precursor is rapidly heated to a temperature that results in (1) precursor decomposition, (2) formation of active catalyst metal atom clusters of the appropriate size, and (3) favorable growth of SWNTs on the catalyst clusters.  Preferably a catalyst cluster nucleation agency is employed to enable rapid reaction of the catalyst precursor gas to form many small, active catalyst particles instead of a few large, inactive ones. Such nucleation agencies can include auxiliary metal precursors that cluster more rapidly than the primary catalyst, or through provision of additional energy inputs (e.g., from a pulsed or CW laser) directed precisely at the region where cluster formation is desired. Under these conditions SWNTs nucleate and grow according to the Boudouard reaction. The SWNTs thus formed may be recovered directly or passed through a growth and annealing zone maintained at an elevated temperature (e.g., 1000 °C) in which tubes may continue to grow and coalesce into ropes.

Abstract: A method of producing a thin film of an inorganic solid electrolyte having a relatively high ionic conductance is provided. In the method, a thin film made of an inorganic solid electrolyte is formed, by a vapor deposition method, on a base member being heated. The thin film obtained through the heat treatment exhibits an ionic conductance higher than that of the thin film formed on the base member not being heated. The ionic conductance can also be increased through the steps of forming the thin film made of the inorganic solid electrolyte on the base member at room temperature or a temperature lower than 40°C and then heating the thin film of the inorganic solid electrolyte.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for economical extraction of residual base metal values in furnace slags, by utilizing smelter by-product sulphuric acid for the pressure leaching of such slags after sufficient initial slow- solidification to induce crystallization. After final solidification and cooling the slags are ground and pulped, mixed with sulphuric acid in an autoclave, and reacted at temperatures up to 275°C and pressures up to about 940psi when applying an oxygen over-pressure of up to 75psi, for up to 2 hours. High degrees of extraction of contained nickel, copper, cobalt and zinc if present, are achieved which are subsequently recovered from the leachate. Whereas the furnace slags, as produced and untreated, present a potential long term environmental hazard, after extraction of their base metal values they are rendered virtually benign vis--à-vis the environment. This method of pressure leaching can be applied to crystallized converter slags enriched in cobalt during the smelting of metal and copper sulphide ores.
