Patent CA-2437451-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G06F16/29
Filed: 2003-08-13
Abstract: When searching for new people, the current instant messaging networks typically allow users to search mainly by name or by e-mail and some of them also by interests, although one of them (Odigo) allows to search also by sex , age, area, languages, occupation & interests. However, to the best of th e inventor's knowledge there is no way to systematically search in these networks for compatible dates by attributes such as for example education, general background, appearance, attitudes, and personality, or by reciprocal compatibility in any of the above mentioned attributes. This is a waste of a huge potential since some of these networks already have more than dozens of millions of people. Also, Odigo allows searching only among people currently connected, which means that highly compatible dates can be missed just because they don't happen to be connected at exactly the time of the search. The present invention is a novel concept which applies computer dating to the context of instant messaging, in a systematic and flexible way that to the best of the inventor's knowledge has never been done before. This system and method enable the user to search and find instantly compatible dates in instant messaging networks on the basis of attribute search or 1-way compatibility search or 2-way compatibility search instead of being limited to search only by the limited options described above, and to search either for potential date s that are currently Online or Offline, and also take advantage of many additional features, and especially features that are based on improved integration between computer dating and instant messaging.

Patent CA-2439238-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and control device for advancing a needle punched fibrous sheet
Inventor: DUVAL RENAUD
IPC: D04H18/02
Filed: 2002-02-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for needle punching a fibrous structure whereby the fibrous structure to be needle punched is driven forward in relation to a needle-punching head bearing numerous reciprocating needles which penetrate and subsequently exit the fibrous structure. The instantaneous feed speed of the fibrous structure decreases in response to the feed resistance exerted by the needles when the latter penetrate the structure and said feed speed subsequently increases with the retreat of the needles, such that the force exerted on the needles by the forward motion of the structure is limited, without said forward motion being completely interrupted during the entire duration that the needles are inside the structure. The feed speed can be decreased directly by means of the feed resistance exerted by the needles using a drive device with a transmission having a spring take-up that can absorb the decrease in the feed speed of the fibrous structure.

Title: Respiratory humidification system
Inventor: LEONARD PETER JOHN
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: A flow probe for use in a humidification system is disclosed. The flow probe is adapted to be positioned in a humidified gases flow (for example oxygen or anaesthetic gases) such as that which is provided to a patient in a hospital environment.  The flow probe is designed to provide both temperature and flow rate sensing of the gases flow by incorporating two sensors (preferably thermistors) and the shape and alignment of the probe enables accurate readings by reducing the occurrence of condensation on the sensors. A number of possible applications are disclosed wherein the flow sensor is included in humidification control systems which provide a patient with a desired humidity level or simplify the amount of user input required or wherein the flow sensor provides a controller with flow information which may then be used to determine certain, possibly dangerous, conditions (such as incorrect flow sensor placement, breathing circuit disconnected, no water in the humidification chamber or humidity out of required limits).

Patent CA-2447764-A1 (CA)
Title: Electrically isolated module
Inventor: OPSITOS ROBERT J JR
IPC: H01L23/36
Filed: 2003-11-03
Abstract: An electronic control module provides dual insulation layers between an internal line voltage and a separate tool housing that serves as a heat sink, thereby allowing versatility in mounting the electronic control module within the tool housing interior, and thereby also eliminating the risk of electrical shock to a user making contact with an exterior tool housing surface. The control module includes a power device, connected to a line voltage,arid a thermal pad. The power device provides a first layer of electrical insulation between the line voltage and an external tab of the power device while the thermal pad provides a second layer of electrical insulation. The combined first and second layers provide a minimum amount of electrical insulation between the line voltage and the tool housing thereby preventing electrical shock. Alternatively, the thermal pad is provided between the control module and the tool housing.

Title: Electromagnetic sensors for biological tissue applications and methods for their use
Inventor: BOUTON CHAD EDWARD
IPC: A61M5/168
Filed: 2002-07-26
Abstract: Tissue sensors house one or more sensor elements. Each element has a housing mounted substrate and a superstrate with a planar antenna between. A  transitional periphery (TP) of a superstrate outer surface interconnects a base to a plateau. At least some of the TP has a generally smooth transition.  Plural elements are spaced by the housing. Alternately, the superstrate TP is flat, the housing extends to the outer superstrate surface and a shield surrounds the element. The housing is flush with or recessed below the superstrate and defines a TP between the housing and superstrate. A method converts a reference signal to complex form; plots it in a complex plane as a reference point (RP); converts a measurement signal to complex form; plots it in the complex plane as a measurement point (MP); determine a complex distance between the MP and the RP; and compares complex distance to a threshold.

Title: Natural rehydration of virus free marine bait
Inventor: HANSON R EDWARD
IPC: A23K10/22
Filed: 2004-03-23
Abstract: A method, apparatus and all natural bait for trap fishing of crustaceans or crabs in the form of dried virus free bait parcels formed from fish parts, skins and/or trimmings. Such fish parts, skins and/or trimmings are dehydrated for a time and at a temperature duration sufficient to kill any virus that may be present in the fish parts. This bait - when fished in crustacean-bearing waters - results in a naturally eroding of a virus free bait which provides a slow release of oil or small fish particles for chumming purposes, while larger re-hydrated fish parts, skins and/or trimmings remain contained in the bait bag.

Abstract: The present invention relates to infectious DNA clones, infectious chimeric DNA clones of porcine circovirus (PCV), vaccines and means of protecting pigs against viral infection or postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) caused by PCV2). The new chimeric infectious DNA clone and its derived, a virulent chimeric virus are constructed from the nonpathogenic PCV1 in which the immunogenic ORF gene of the pathogenic PCV2 replaces a gene of the nonpathogenic PCV1, preferably in the same position. The chimeric virus advantageously retains the nonpathogenic phenotype of PCV1 but elicits specific immune responses against the pathogenic PCV2. The invention further embraces the immunogenic polypeptide expression products.
