Title: Electric heating/warming fabric articles
Inventor: SHARMA VIKRAM
IPC: D02G3/04
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: A fabric article that generates heat upon application of electrical power is formed, for example, by joining stitch and loop yarns to form a fabric prebody, with the loop yarn overlaying the stitch yarn at a technical face and forming loops at a technical back of the fabric prebody. An electrical resistance heating element, e.g., in the form of a conductive yarn, is incorporated into the fabric prebody at symmetrical and/or asymmetrical spaced-apart intervals as the stitch yarn, the electrical resistance heating elements extending between opposite edge regions of the fabric and conductor elements, e.g. located along edge regions, connect the electrical resistance heating elements to a source of electrical power. The technical face and/or the technical back of the fabric body may have fleece formed by finishing in a manner to avoid damage to electrical conductance of the electrical resistance heating elements. Preferably, the conductive yarn has a core of insulating material, an electrical resistance-heating element about the core, and a sheath material surrounding the electrical resistance heating element and core.

Title: Outils de priorisation d'investissements de projets
Inventor: VAILLANCOURT CHRISTIAN
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2001-11-14
Abstract: INVE$TFOLIO a été développé pour encadrer les organisations dans leur exerci ce d'identification et de priorisation de projets. Son objectif est d'alimenter  un cadre référentiel pour permettre une prise de décision éclairée à l'égard des projets à démarrer. L'information présentée par le biais de l'outil procure aux dirigeants une vision globale des enjeux organisationnels, positionne le projet par rapport aux actions stratégiques de la firme et fournit des estimations financières permettant une comparaison entr e les différents projets. Ainsi, l'outil peut avantageusement s'intégrer à l'exercice de planification budgétaire annuel. Actuellement, si la majorité des organisations effectue cet exercice de planification, il appert évident que ce dernier est complété de façon plus ou moins structurée , souvent conduit différemment d'un projet à l'autre et finalement très peu documenté. Conséquemment, un nombre important de projets démarre avec une envergure vaguement définie, justifiés par des éléments contextuels mal analysés et sur des estimations financières présentant un très haut niveau de risque. C'est pour pallier ces  lacunes qu'INVE$TFOLIO a été développé. Le logiciel permet d'analyser de façon objective, le plein potentiel de chaque initiative selon l'envergure, les risques, les coûts, les bénéfices, et la valeur ajoutée des projets dans l'organisation. Dans un premier temps, INVE$TFOLIO contribue à structurer l'identification d es initiatives en proposant un processus avec une charte de projet combinée à d es gabarits standards pour guider le promoteur dans l'élaboration de son analyse de coût s et bénéfices afin de justifier la réalisation de son projet. Une fois la charte de projet complétée, l'exercice se poursuit afin d'établi r le degré de priorité du projet par rapport aux autres projets à l'étude. Les information s contenues dans la charte de projet sont donc consolidées et présentées dans un tableau  de priorisation. Cette table de priorisation est utilisée à des fins d'analyse et permet d'effectuer des simulations tout en manipulant, au gré des gestionnaires, le s facteurs et variables de priorisation établis par l'organisation. Une fois la prise de décision terminée et les projets à réaliser identifiés, ces derniers sont intégrés au portefeuille de projet de l'organisation. INVE$TFOLIO permet d'économiser du temps, des énergies et donc des coûts inutiles en simplifiant le processus de prise de décision d'investissements attribuable aux projets. L'utilisation systématique de l'outil pourrait modifier considérablement l'exercice annuel de planification budgétaire.
