Patent CA-2410957-C (CA)
Title: Resizable graphical user interface
Inventor: RACIBORSKI NATHAN F
IPC: G06F3/0487
Filed: 2001-06-01
Granted: 2010-08-17
Abstract: A system for providing reconfigurable graphical user interfaces. An original GUI, such as one might use to control an audio or video player application program, is modified by a designer such that the end-user of the GUI can alter individual subsections of the GUI or alternatively designate such sections as non-reconfigurable. The designer thus controls the properties of the GUI, while allowing the end-user to individual aspects of the GUI.

Title: Data transfer system, data transfer apparatus, data recording apparatus, and data transfer method
Inventor: ABE MIKI
IPC: G10K15/02
Filed: 2002-04-12
Granted: 2012-03-20
Abstract: It is an object to provide an efficient transfer of content data. In a case of transferring the content data from a data transfer device on a primary recording medium side to a data recording device to record the content data in a secondary recording medium, a data compression system and a bit rate that are conformable to the data recording device are compared with a data compression system and a bit rate of the content data to be sent, so that a required transfer processing is brought into realization according to a result of the comparison. For instance, when both the data compression systems are equal, and the bit rate of the content data is not more than the bit rate that is conformable to the data recording device, the content data is sent as it is in an encrypted compressed data state.

Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring the integrity of components and structures
Inventor: DAVEY KENNETH JOHN
IPC: G01M3/26
Filed: 2001-07-02
Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus provided for monitoring the integrity of a structure (10) disposed in an environment containing a fluid (F) at an ambient pressure. The structure (10) includes a skin (12) and a plurality of internal cavities (14). The method involves applying a further fluid to the cavities (14), the applied fluid being at a pressure which is marginally greater than the atmospheric ambient pressure (F). The flow rate of the applied fluid is monitored for detection in a change in the flow rate. The change in flow rate is indicative of additional fluid seepage through the structure (10) providing advance warning of a failure in the integrity of the structure (10). Monitoring is achieved by passing the applied fluid through a high fluid flow impedance (28) and monitoring for a change in pressure across the impedance (28) using a transducer (30).

Title: Modification des voies aeriennes par application d'energie
Inventor: DANEK CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: A61B18/08

Granted: 2010-08-10
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes et des dispositifs de traitement de la pneumopathie obstructive chronique réversible, et plus particulièrement, un dispositif permettant d'échanger l'énergie avec le tissu des voies aériennes tel que celui qu'on trouve dans les voies aériennes des poumons humains. L'échange d'énergie avec ledit tissu de voies aériennes diminue la capacité des voies aériennes à comprimer et/ou à diminuer, à l'intérieur des voies aériennes, la résistance au flux d'air à travers les voies aériennes. Ladite invention concerne aussi une méthode permettant de diminuer la sensibilité ou la résistance au flux d'air des voies aériennes et implique le transfert d'énergie vers les parois de voies aériennes ou à partir desdites parois afin de prévenir ou diminuer la compression des voies aériennes et autres symptômes des pneumopathies. Le traitement permet de diminuer la capacité des voies aériennes à se contracter au moment d'un rétrécissement aigu des voies aériennes, il permet de diminuer le bouchon dû au mucus des voies aériennes, et/ou permet d'augmenter le diamètre des voies aériennes. Les méthodes décrites dans la présente invention permettent un traitement plus long et/ou plus efficace des pneumopathies que les thérapies auxquelles on a recours d'ordinaire, et supprime les problèmes d'observation du traitement par le patient. Il faut aussi y ajouter des étapes supplémentaires qui permettent de diminuer la capacité du poumon à produire au moins l'un des symptômes de pneumopathie obstructive réversible et de diminuer la résistance au flux d'air à travers un poumon.
