Title: Method, system and apparatus for entraining global regulatory bio-networks to evoke optimized self-organizing autonomous adaptive capacities
Inventor: MCNABB GARY
IPC: A61B5/04
Filed: 2006-07-03
Abstract: The invention interacts with a subject to query, challenge and identify multiple aspects and multidimensional influences that provide access to, allow modulation of, and entrainment of, state-specific global bio-regulatory self-organizing controllers and evocable triggers. Modulation of state-specific regulatory triggers may evoke optimized newly emergent self-organizing principles within the subject and ultimately support up-regulation of "states of presence" that include newly emergent controllers of additional optimal regulation of bio-chemical expressions. The "state" measures of a person may include the status of a combination of any number of identified biological qualities. The invention includes systems and methods that support access to a subject's state controller functions, for various aliments, to empower shifting ones' biology from a symptomatic to an asymptomatic state and to optimal adaptive learning and readiness. The system of the invention investigates and accesses the capacities that control such state shifts so that they can be broadly challenged, expanded, and entrained for optimized global regulatory function in reversing a myriad of pathological symptoms, learning limitation, and adaptive dysregulations.

Title: Process for abrasion-resistant needle-punched composite
Inventor: ZAFIROGLU DIMITRI
IPC: B32B37/12
Filed: 2006-11-17
Abstract: A process for making abrasion-resistant composites is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of providing a fibrous sheet containing a high density of relatively short staple fibers having a decitex under 6.6; needle-punching the staple layer and applying an adhesive containing layer; followed by the application of heat and pressure to the composite to form a thin consolidated and abrasion-resistant back-face layer on the composite. Preferably, the adhesive layer is penetrated by the needled fibers during the needling step and the product is shrunk in area by 20-50% before the consolidation step.  Also optionally, the consolidated layer is abraded or perforated to create micro-pores that are permeable to gases and capable of containing liquids under low-to-moderate pressures.

Patent CA-2632535-A1 (CA)
Title: Fluid heating method
Inventor: AHMED M MUSHTAQ
IPC: F23L7/00
Filed: 2006-12-07
Abstract: A method of heating a fluid utilizing a process heater having one or more first combustion zones and one or more second combustion zones. The combustion of a fuel is divided between the first and second combustion zones. The oxygen is provided for combustion within the first combustion zone by one or more oxygen transport membranes that contribute between about 50 and 99 percent of the stoichiometric amount of oxygen required for complete combustion of the fuel passing through the process heater. A supplemental or secondary oxidant is introduced into second combustion zone to complete combustion of the fuel and thereby produce a flue gas stream containing between about 1 and 3 percent oxygen. In this manner, the surface area of the oxygen transport membranes may be reduced below the surface area that otherwise would be required if 100 percent of the oxygen were contributed by the oxygen transport membranes .

Title: Microwave heating applicator
Inventor: RISMAN PER OLOV
IPC: H05B6/74
Filed: 2006-12-12
Abstract: A new, comparatively small type of microwave system based on open-ended applicators is disclosed. The applicator according to the invention uses a main evanescent and a propagating mode in combination, where the combination results in a cancel-lation of the horizontal magnetic fields at the ends of at least two opposing walls. The effect of this is that the fields propagating out of the applicator become concentrated to the applicator centreline (axis) region, provides an efficient heating of a load or assembly of loads, as well as a stable impedance matching of the system under variable loading conditions due to the mode evanescence, while not leaking energy between adjacent applicators. The applicator can also be used for direct feeding of an underlying small closed metal cavity, for providing (the same favourable) mode conditions to a load in this cavity.

Inventor: HEALEY PETER
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 2007-02-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for sensing of a disturbance on an optical link. Data traffic from an optical source with a short coherence length is transmitted along the link to a receiver station on one or more of a plurality of time-division-multiplexed channels. One of the channels is used to transmit encoded phase information relating to the phase characteristics of the optical source output. At the receiver station, the actual phase characteristics of the arriving light from the optical source is compared with the encoded phase information. Since a physical disturbance of the link is likely to alter the actual phase characteristics of the arriving light but not the encoded phase information, it is possible to determine if a physical disturbance has occurred. The system can conveniently be used to monitor an optical link carrying communications traffic.
