Patent CA-2240076-C (CA)
Inventor: YEUNG SHU-KI
IPC: E03D11/02
Filed: 1998-07-17
Granted: 2003-02-18
Abstract: To eliminate the necessity of a water tank, this invention converts the traditional toilet bowl with siphonic water trap  into  a  toilet  basin  with  a  tilting-bowl.    This invention comprises a frame, a toilet basin, a tilting bowl and a trigger means.  The tilting bowl is mounted to pivot as a movable water/waste container.   In its not tilted horizontal position,  the tilting bowl receives and holds water/waste delivered to it through the toilet basin.  When the  tilting  bowl  tilts,  it  discharges  its  content  to drainage pipe   through   a   bottom   discharge   hole; simultaneously allowing water/waste to discharge from basin to drainage.  The tilting bowl is normally retarded to stay in its horizontal position by forces applied to the tilting bowl creating a resultant retarding turning moment about its pivot point larger than the turning moment produced by the tilting bowl  with its  content.   The  trigger means serves to remove or reduce the retarding turning moment, allowing the tilting bowl to tilt to discharge water/waste to outside the toilet.

Title: System and method for generating stereoscopic image data
Inventor: MURRAY HUGH
IPC: G06T13/00
Filed: 1998-10-27
Granted: 2009-01-06
Abstract: A system and corresponding method for generating stereoscopic image data from modelling data and camera animation curve data created in the process of creating a computer graphics animation sequence intended for 2D display. The system comprises a database in which the modelling data and the original camera animation curve data are stored, as well as a stereoscopic camera animation curve data generator and an animation sequence renderer. The stereoscopic camera animation curve data generator inputs the original camera animation curve data and generates stereoscopic camera animation curve data for at least one stereoscopic camera which is fixed in position and alignment with respect to another stereoscopic camera (which may be the original camera used to generate the original computer graphics animation sequence). The renderer inputs the stereoscopic camera animation curve data and the modelling data and generates stereoscopic image data.

Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: The invention provides the combination in an instrument of a multimeter and an instrument having apparatus for determining a non-contact measurement of radiation perceived at a distance from a surface. The instrument may further have an apparatus for determining temperature of that surface by direct contact therewith. The non-contact apparatus may have optical sighting means and laser sighting means, and means for determining emissivity of the surface. Provision may be made for recording data, e.g. a data logger. Audio output may be provided in accordance with temperature determinations, and may include speech synthesizing. Conveniently, the instrument is adapted for holding in the hand, for example by a pistol-grip handle, and/or for mounting on a tripod. Temperatures derived respectively from infrared radiation, and from direct contact, have separate displays. The multimeter and the temperature instrument may have means for their control by vocal command.

Abstract: A mailer type business form intermediate, and business form produced from the intermediate, are provided which provide a reply envelope as part of the mailer yet avoid blocking of pressure activated cohesive patterns associated with the mailer during fan-folding. The pressure activated cohesive patterns forming three side edges of the reply envelope are spaced and configured so that when intermediates are in fan- folded configuration the reply envelope pressure activated cohesive patterns are substantially non-overlapping so that blocking cannot occur. The pressure activated cohesive pattern forming one edge of the reply envelope can be provided by first and second series of pressure activated cohesive elements that are spaced from each other both in a direction parallel to, and perpendicular to, that side edge. A Z-fold mailer type business form is particularly advantageous.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for rapid, continuous flow histological processing o f tissues is disclosed. The steps of fixation, dehydration, clearing and impregnation are performed in less than one hour, this allows a pathologist to evaluate samples shortly after receipt, perhaps while the patient is still in the operating room. Rapid and continuous processing is accomplished by decreasing the thickness of tissue sections, use of non-aqueous solutions composed of admixtures of solutions, solution exchange at elevated temperature and with agitation, and impregnation under vacuum pressure. The patient in surgery is thus provided with point-of-care surgical pathology.

Abstract: A method of focused phosphene gener-ation through deeper intermediate retinal cel-lular electrical stimulation to the exclusion of direct ganglion cellular electrical stimulation comprises the steps of: a) positioning a stim-ulating electrode in the vicinity of retinal tis-sue; and b) applying a long duration stimula-tion signal to the electrode such that deeper in-termediate retinal cells are preferentially stim-ulated over the retinal ganglion cells and proximal overlying surface axons. The long dura-tion stimulation signal is preferably a biphasic signal having a negative and a positive phase pulse which is applied in cathodic fashion. To preferentially stimulate the deeper intermediate retinal elements the duration of the long dura-tion stimulation signal is greater than 0.5 mil-lisecond per phase pulse, and preferably equal to or longer than 2 millisecond per phase pulse.  The biphasic signal is preferably adjusted to simulate a monophasic signal by adjusting the magnitude of the negative pulse in relation to positive pulse, and by adjusting the duration of the positive pulse in relation to the nega-tive pulse to maintain approximately net zero charge introduction. Preferably, the ratio of the negative pulse to the positive pulse is ap-proximately 10:1 or greater.

Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for organizing SMS  messages sent to a mobile terminal based on the location of the mobile terminal or the time of delivery of the SMS messages. Thus, when a subscriber sends a short message to another subscriber, the originating subscriber can specify the time of delivery of the message. In addition, the originating subscriber can specify the priority associated with the message, e.g., the SMS message can have an indication of priority one, which indicates to the receiving subscriber that the message is urgent. Furthermore, the originating subscriber can also specify that the message is to be delivered only when the called subscriber is in a certain location. The receiving subscriber can also control the display of the SMS messages by moving the received SMS messages to an action list, and then specifying when and/or where the SMS  messages should be displayed again.
