Patent CA-2497747-A1 (CA)
Title: Disposition pour des connexions entre des routeurs mobiles itinerants et des routeurs d'un reseau groupe
Inventor: FORSTER DAVID CHARLTON
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-10-27
Abstract: Un routeur mobile est conçu pour se connecter à un routeur sélectionné d'un réseau groupé (un réseau mobile ad hoc, par exemple) sur la base de l'identification d'un modèle de topologie de réseau du réseau groupé à partir de messages d'avertissement transmis par le routeur, contenant des champs d'options d'informations d'arbre précisant des attributs du modèle de topologie de réseau. Le routeur mobile sélectionne, dans une liste de routeurs par défaut, le routeur à l'origine du message d'avertissement auquel il va se connecter, sur la base d'une corrélation entre des attributs des routeurs à l'origine des messages d'avertissement et des priorités identifiées, puis classe les routeurs à l'origine des messages d'avertissement dans une liste de routeurs par défaut sur la base des priorités identifiées. Si le routeur mobile détecte un routeur d'un second réseau groupé, il signale au routeur de connexion qu'un second réseau groupé est disponible, ce qui permet aux deux réseaux groupés de communiquer par le biais d'une liaison point-à-point entre les routeurs de connexion respectifs.

Patent CA-2500934-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAYLOR JOHN DAVID STEWART
IPC: A61M1/34
Filed: 2003-09-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a novel polymer composition comprising at least one copolymer constituted of acrylic (AC) monomer units and of at least one water-soluble comonomer unit, which is preferably 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS). The composition is used to produce materials, such as membranes, film or suface coatings, that are suitable as highly tissue compatible supports for epithelial cells, such as hepatocytes. The materials are suitable to be used in a bioartificial liver, where they work as separating membrane and carrier for adhesion-dependent tissue cells. As an example it is described how selectively permeable membranes are formed by a phase inversion process from these acrylic copolymers with varying content of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) and how they interact with liver cells to construct a biohybrid organ for liver replacement.

The system includes at least one source of radiation having wavelength(s) in the range of 400 to 2200 nanometers and at least one detector responsive to such incident radiation.  The source and detector are associated with the fabric such that the reception of incident radiation by the detector is directly affected by a change in the amount of light transmitted through the fabric relative to the amount of light reflected by the fabric when the fabric stretches. A signal processor converts a signal from the detector into a signal representative of at least one predetermined physiological parameter of a wearer of the garment.
