Patent CA-2561009-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CIOFFI JOHN M
IPC: G06F/
Filed: 2005-03-18
Abstract: A DSL system includes a multiple loop segment where K loops are bonded to provide a multiple loop segment having up to (2K-1) communication channels on which transmissions are vectored. The segment may be a drop to a customer premises, an interpedestal link, or any other suitable part of a larger DSL  system. Generally the bonded loops are relatively short, being 300 meters or less. Signal vectoring is used to increase the speed and data carrying capability of the channels. In some embodiments, an expanded frequency spectrum also can be used to increase the data carrying capability of one or more of the channels. An impedance matching circuit may be coupled to each end of the segment to provided efficient transmission of data across the segment.  A controller may provide control signals used to operate the segment as a vectored system and, if desired, frequency bandwidth control signals. The controller may monitor and/or collect data and information from the DSL sytem to assist in generating control signals. The controller can be a dynamic spectrum manager or DSM Center that includes a computer system and/or other hardware to assist in performing the required functions.

Patent CA-2588310-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MUMFORD ROBYN
IPC: A45D2/48
Filed: 2007-05-11
Abstract: The present invention concerns a mascara removal device including a foam tip attached to the end of the wand. The foam tip is preferably cylinder-shaped and is smooth on one side and has slits cut into the opposite side. The slits are cut or carved into the foam. The device operates by first dipping it into mascara remover, then the moistened smooth portion is used to wet the eyelashes (which bear the mascara) and, once moistened, the opposite side of the foam bearing the slits is swept over the eyelashes. The eyelashes fall into the slits in the foam tip that increase friction and act to remove the moistened mascara from along the length of the eyelashes.
Patent CA-2589906-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMZIPOOR KAMAL
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: An assembly for occluding a vascular site (e.g., an aneurysm) of a human or veterinary patient includes a vaso-occlusive member, a pusher member having a distal end and a severable junction located proximal to the distal end, and a pivotable coupling that couples the pusher member to the occlusive member. A delivery catheter can be used to deliver the vaso-occlusive member to the vascular site. A method of using the assembly to occlude an aneurysm having an aneurysmal sac and an aneurysmal neck, includes locating the catheter within the aneurysmal neck, and manipulating the pusher member to place the vaso-occlusive member within the aneurysmal sac. The method further includes severing the severable junction to detach the vaso-occlusive member from the pusher member. As a result, an axial force is applied by the vaso-occlusive member in a proximal direction, which buckles the pivotable coupling to laterally deflect the axial force. The lateral deflection of the axial force caused by the buckling of the pivotable coupling prevents the catheter from being displaced from the aneurysmal neck by the axial force.

Title: System to increase capacity of lng-based liquefier in air separation process
Inventor: DEE DOUGLAS PAUL
IPC: F25J1/02
Filed: 2007-06-26
Abstract: A system is set forth to increase the capacity of an LNG-based liquefier in a cryogenic air separation unit wherein, in a low production mode, the nitrogen that is fed to the LNG-based liquefier consists only of at least a portion of the high pressure nitrogen from the distillation column system while in a high production mode, a supplemental compressor is used to boost the pressure of at least a portion of the low pressure nitrogen from the distillation column system to create additional (or replacement) feed to the LNG-based liquefier. A key to the present invention is the supplemental compressor and the associated heat exchange equipment is separate and distinct from the LNG-based liquefier. This allows its purchase to be delayed until a capacity increase is actually needed and thus avoid building an oversized liquefier based on a speculative increase in liquid product demand.

Title: Large scale measurement of subjective quality in mobile communications systems
Inventor: SARABY DAVID
IPC: H04M3/22
Filed: 2006-02-03
Abstract: Large scale subjective signal quality measurements for a mobile radio communications system are made using a large number of handheld subscriber radio communication units moving at various positions in the mobile radio communications system. Each handheld subscriber unit stores a copy of a test voice or video signal stream as does a quality management network node. An uplink subjective signal quality for each such handheld subscriber unit is determined based on a comparison of the stored test signal and the received test signal from the handheld subscriber unit. A downlink subjective signal quality to each handheld unit is based on the returned test signal stream received from the handheld subscriber unit and the stored test signal stream.  Because the handheld units do not perform the subjective quality comparison calculations, ordinary subscriber units that do not require significant extra data processing resources associated with those calculations may be used.
