Patent CA-2466648-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WIN KELLY A
IPC: A47G9/02
Filed: 2004-05-04
Abstract: Flexible plastic locking cable ties (or electrical zip ties), used for bundling cables together are utilized in this invention to manufacture pillow slipcovers for cylindrical foam pillows.        The slipcover is a rectangular fabric piece with casings sewn at both ends. One of the long edges perpendicular to the casings has a serger-stitched edge. A cable tie is threaded through each casing.      One end of the cable tie is threaded through the other end (which has a locking eyelet), and is pulled tight, permanently locking it into place, forming a small circle completely encased by gathered fabric. This leaves a lengthwise opening running the length of the slipcover.        The gathered ends are placed on each flat end of the cylindrical foam core. The serger-stitched edge is pulled over and generously overlaps the other edge below, creating a snug, form-fitting, removable slipcover on foam which naturally resists fabric slippage.

IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for delivering voice mail messages to one or more intended recipients with an indication of the presence of the sender. A message recipient can automatically respond to a voice mail message using a desired form of communication. The presence server can provide presence information across domains so that a user in one domain can automatically obtain presence information and respond to a user in another domain. A client-side presence enabled voice mail application process (i) retrieves voice mail messages from a voice mail server of a user, (ii) queries a presence server to determine the presence of the sender of each retrieved message, and (iii) presents the retrieved voice mail message(s) to the recipient with an indication of the presence of the sender. In addition, the disclosed presence enabled voice mail application process allows the message recipient to automatically respond, for example, by an email, instant message or telephone call to a device where the sender is believed to be present.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des compositions de polymères fortement chargées consistant en homopolymères et copolymères d'éthylène et/ou d'oléfines alpha, de faible poids moléculaire ou leurs mélanges à forte concentration de charges ou d'additifs, qui peuvent être par exemple des ignifuges, du talc, des agents de fabrication de céramiques, des concentrés de couleurs, des agents réticulants, et des agents d'expansion. En raison de leur faible cristallinité (et donc de leur fort pourcentage de phase amorphe) et de la faible viscosité des polymères de base, on peut obtenir des compositions très ouvrables, même si elles contiennent de fortes proportions de charges ou d'additifs. De telles compositions sont donc idéales comme concentrés ou mélanges-maîtres pour différentes applications de compoundage.
Patent CA-2508008-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAO KOTESH K
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2005-05-19
Abstract: A computer implemented process (Fig. 1) is provided for assessing and characterizing the degree of success or failure of an operational event of a machine system such as a fluid compressor machine or turbine machine or the like on a continuous numerical scale. The computer implemented process develops and tracks machine unit signatures, machine site signatures and machine fleet signatures (110,120) to evaluate various operational events (140,150) and provide fault detection (130,160). At least some sensor data acquired from the machine system during an operational event is transformed to correct or at least reduce variabilities in the data caused by ambient conditions and fuel quality. The transformed data is then analyzed using statistical methods to determine how closely the operational event conforms to an expected normal behavior and the information is used to develop a single comprehensive quality assessment of the event. By saving, tracking and updating operational event assessments over time, machine/component degradation may be recognized at any early stage and corrective action may be initiated in advance of a catastrophic failure.
