Patent CA-2574728-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LARRONDE MICHAEL L
IPC: E21B7/04
Filed: 2007-01-23
Abstract: This invention relates to a steering assembly and to a steering component, suitable for use in drilling operations for oil and gas. The steering assembly comprises a downhole motor which can rotate the drill bit, and a steering component. The steering component has a shaft and a set of elements for engaging the borehole in use. The shaft has a longitudinal axis. The set of elements has a centreline and is movable relative to the shaft between a first position in which the centreline is offset from the longitudinal axis of the shaft by a first distance, and a second position in which the centreline is offset from the longitudinal axis of the shaft by a second distance. In use in drilling operations, movement of the set of elements from the first position to the second position alters the degree of curvature of the drilled hole.

Patent CA-2582097-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RABOLT JOHN F
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2005-09-29
Abstract: A method for detecting disease in a patient includes providing infrared (IR) light and coupling the IR light through direct lens coupling or through a first group of one or more optical fibers. IR light is reflected from a portion of the patient and collected by a lens arrangement or a second group of one or more optical fibers. The reflected IR light is dispersed into its spectrum which is detected and analyzed. An apparatus suitable for diagnosing a disease in a patient includes an IR light source and optical fiber or direct lens coupling of IR light onto a body part or fluid of the patient. Reflected light from the patient is optically dispersed using a prism or grating. An IR  focal plane array receives the optically dispersed light. The spectrum of the reflected IR light is used to provide a diagnosis of disease in the patient by identifying various disease markers or chemical fingerprints. The method and apparatus are capable of non-invasively detecting disease markers in a patient.

Title: Summer and winter mode operation of fuel cell stacks
Inventor: ANDREWES CAROLINE J E
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: A fuel cell subject to intermittent use may be operated in two distinct modes, a "summer" or a "winter" mode, depending on whether the cell is expected to be stored at below freezing temperatures or not. At steady state in summer mode, much of the cell interior may be fully saturated with water and thus may contain liquid water. While such conditions may be most desirable for performance reasons during operation, the presence of liquid water however may be detrimental when storing at below freezing temperatures. At steady state in winter mode, the cell interior is essentially sub-saturated throughout and liquid water is not present to form ice during storage. Winter mode operation allows for improved performance during startup, especially in automotive solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell stacks.

Title: Self-supporting shower floor element comprising a film for sealing the floor and walls
Inventor: DIETER NUECKEL
IPC: A47K3/16
Filed: 2006-02-17
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a shower floor element and a shower floor construction, which permit an extremely simple, cost-effective production, in particular in situ and/or a more reliable sealing system in relation to prior art. To achieve this, a waterproof film (4) is applied to the upper face of a support element (3) consisting of a hard expanded plastic with a relatively high density of approximately 100 g per cubic decimetre or more and is sealed to said support element. This enables the pre-fabrication of a shower floor element, so that during the installation in situ a tile covering or other covering (9) can be directly applied to the film. If a suitable material is selected, said film (4) can also be welded to the support element (3). Preferred connection methods are bonding or welding. Depending on the material, a shrinking or deep drawing process can also optionally be used, or a negative pressure can be produced between the film and the support element, causing the two materials to adhere to one another.
Patent CA-2599895-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALMANDOZ IKER
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 2006-02-28
Abstract: Transitions between states and/or profiles for a line in a communication system, such as a DSL system, are controlled by evaluating the current state of the line and one or more target states. Evaluation of the feasibility of staying in the current state or moving to one of the target states can be based on distributions of reported and estimated data distilled from operational data collected from the communication system. The target states may be prioritized and arranged in a matrix. Feasibility may take into account both the sufficiency of available data and the line's likely behavior in the current state and any potential target state. Probabilities of meeting operational and/or performance thresholds can be used in various sub-rules whose outputs can be combined in an overall rule that provides a feasibility or infeasibility decision. Old data can be weighted or completely purged to control its influence on a potential transition. In a DSL system these weightings, sub-rules and other factors may reflect differences between upstream and downstream behavior and data transmission. Changing line conditions, performance goals, etc. can be accommodated by adjusting and/or updating sub-rules, rules, threshold tables, vectors, matrices, etc.  adaptively or dynamically. Methods, techniques, apparatus processes and equipment according to embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in a controller, DSL optimizer or the like. Such implementation may be part of a dynamic spectrum management system.

Abstract: A method is provided for blood pressure measurement by means of an inflatable cuff (50) applied to a limb of a vertebrate and pneumatically coupled to a first port (112A) and a second port (112B) of a blood pressure measurement apparatus (100). A pump (160) coupled to the second port inflates the cuff pneumatically. During an initial cuff inflation period, a first pressure sensor (180) pneumatically coupled to the first port senses a first pressure and a second pressure sensor (182) pneumatically coupled to the second port senses a second pressure. An analysis module (142) compares the magnitude of the first pressure to the magnitude of the second pressure to determine the relative relationship between the respective magnitudes of the first pressure and the second pressure. The relative relationship between these pressure may be used to determine whether a single lumen or dual lumen cuff is use, to determine whether the blood pressure measurement procedure selected is correct for the cuff actually in use, or to automatically select the proper blood pressure measurement procedure to be used for the actual cuff in use.
