Patent CA-2655242-A1 (CA)
Inventor: XIE XING
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2007-06-28
Abstract: A system for automatically classifying an object of a target image is provided. A classification system provides a collection of classified images along with a classification of the dominant object of the image. The classification system attempts to classify the object of a target image based on similarity of the target image to the classified images. To classify a target image, the classification system identifies the classified images of the collection that are most similar to the target image based on similarity between salient points of the target image and the classified images. The classification system selects a classification associated with the classified images that are most similar to the target image as a classification for the object of the target image.
Patent CA-2655333-A1 (CA)
Title: Metal plate stack for salt water electrolysis
Inventor: BURTCH J CHRISTOPHER
IPC: C25B1/26
Filed: 2009-02-24
Abstract: This invention uses alternating galvanized steel and perforated aluminum plates to increase the extraction rate of hydrogen from salt water by electrolysis. The galvanized steel plates are wired together to form the anode while the perforated aluminum plates are also wire together to form the cathode around which the hydrogen is extracted.  The perforated aluminum also reacts with the sodium hydroxide, produced during electrolysis, to release even more hydrogen from the solution. The myriad of perforations in the aluminum plates creates numerous contact points with the solution so that the electrical current can extract the hydrogen more efficiently from the salt water.

IPC: H04L45/28

Abstract: Multicast capabilities of a link state protocol controlled network are used to accelerate the flooding advertisement of topology change notifications within portions of the network. This flooding mechanism may be particularly efficient in a network with a large number of two-connected nodes such as a ring network architecture. A control plane specific multicast group address is used when flooding topology change notifications, and a process such as reverse path forwarding check is used as an additional control on forwarding of the notification to prevent looping of control plane packets. Two-connected nodes insert a forwarding entry into their FIB to enable frames containing the control message to be forwarded via the data plane on to the downstream node so that propagation of the control message along a chain of two-connected nodes may occur at data plane speeds.

Title: Method and apparatus for correcting data points acquired during well drilling
Inventor: CALVO MARIANO
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 2010-01-27
Abstract: Described herein are a method, apparatus and computer readable medium for correcting data points acquired during well drilling. The data points are typically stored in a text file that is accessible by a processor. The processor applies tags to the data points, with each of the tags corresponding to a characteristic of the data points. The processor then identifies data faults in the data points using the tags. The data faults are indicative of inaccurate data in the data points; i.e., data that does not accurately represent the well as drilled. Following identification of the data faults, the processor corrects the data faults. The resulting corrected, or cleaned, data is more indicative of the well as actually drilled than the uncorrected data. The processor can be connected to a computer readable medium that stores the statements and instructions that the processor executes.
