Patent CA-2397947-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AMERGA MESSAY
IPC: H04W36/38
Filed: 2000-09-14
Abstract: A method and communication system for assigning the plurality of fingers to demodulation paths in a path list which insures that at least one finger will be assigned to a demodulation path supporting a supplemental channel, if one exists. The method involves determining whether any of the fingers is demodulating a supplemental channel. When no fingers are demodulating supplemental channels, it is determined whether the sector containing the path under consideration supports supplemental channels. If the sector containing the path under consideration supports supplemental channels, then the method determines the strength of the signal path relative to the weakest finger. If the path is a certain amount greater in strength then the weakest finger, then the method involves reassigning that finger to the path with the supplemental channel and if the path with the supplemental channel is a certain amount of strength weaker than the weakest finger plus a certain value, then the method involves determining whether the weakest finger is the only one supporting the supplemental channel.

IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 2002-10-02
Abstract: Described is a method for determining the concentration of an analyte in a future sample that is measured on a second apparatus. This method involves incorporating, in a second apparatus, at least one primary calibration algorithm that is developed using absorbances of samples from a primary calibration set. The absorbances, which are optionally pre-processed prior to primary calibration algorithm development, are obtained from one or more first apparatus. The absorbance values of the future sample are measured on the second apparatus at one or more than one wavelength from a standard set of wavelengths, and a concentration of the analyte in the future sample is calculated by applying the Primary Calibration Algorithm to the optionally pre-processed absorbance of the future sample obtained from the second apparatus.

Abstract: Un service d'authentification de paiement assure l'authentification de l'identité d'un payeur lors de transactions en ligne. Le service d'authentification selon la présente invention permet à l'émetteur de carte de vérifier l'identité d'un titulaire de carte via divers procédés d'authentification, notamment via l'utilisation de mots de passe. D'ailleurs, le seul participant du système qui nécessite un certificat est l'institution financière émettrice. L'un des modes de réalisation de l'invention, destiné à authentifier l'identité d'un titulaire de carte lors d'une transaction en ligne, consiste à consulter un serveur de commande d'accès de manière à déterminer si le titulaire de la carte est connu du service d'authentification de paiement, à demander un mot de passe au titulaire de la carte, à vérifier ledit mot de passe et à notifier le commerçant de la vérification de l'authenticité du titulaire de carte. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, une carte à puce et le service d'authentification génèrent indépendamment des cryptogrammes, lesquels doivent correspondre pour que le service puisse vérifier que le titulaire de la carte utilise la bonne carte à puce.

Title: Apparatus & method for determining at least one parameter of a respiratory system's (rs) mechanical properties
Inventor: PEDULLA GIUSEPPE
IPC: A61B5/113
Filed: 2003-02-07
Abstract: A device is provided which measures at least one mechanical property of the Respiratory System (RS) using an input perturbation which linearises the RS and measures the resulting output waveform. In its' full embodiment this device provides for a complete characterization of the RS' mechanical state. One preferred embodiment utilizes appropriate transducers and associated processing to produce a plot that is able to locate lower inflection point (LIP), maximal slope (MS), over distension (O), upper inflection point (UIP), and closing volume (CV) in a lung with far greater sensitivity and accuracy than the 'gold standard' pressure volume curve. Supporting electronics and software provide for, at least, a display of trends, a xy display, and a display of spectral content. An integral alarm alerts the clinician to low signal conditions that may indicate, for example, a loss of respiratory effort. A11 devices in this family rely on one easily satisfied assumption. Namely that the input perturbation be an appropriately short duration pulse which is sent into the RS. Each embodiment requires only a slight modification in configuration. Namely different bandwidths are used to obtain the signal components of interest and one or more channels of acceleration are utilized. As such it is reasonable to define the entire set of embodiments as "one invention".
