Title: Variable stator vane bushing
Inventor: MESING THOMAS CARL
IPC: F16C17/24
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: A variable stator vane assembly (56) for a gas turbine engine (10) including a bushing (120) that facilitates extending a useful life of the stator vane assembly is described. The stator vane assembly includes a spacer (126) and a vane (74) secured to an engine casing (58). The bushing is between the spacer and vane, and prevents the spacer and the vane from contacting the engine casing.

Abstract: Le syndrome du QT long (LQT) est un trouble cardio-vasculaire caractérisé par la prolongation de l'intervalle QT sur un électrocardiogramme et par la présence de syncopes, d'attaques et de morts subites. Cinq gènes ont été impliqués dans le syndrome de Romano-Ward, la forme autosomique dominante du LQT. Ces gènes sont :KVLQT1, HERG, SCN5A, KCNE1 et KCNE2. Les mutations en KVLQT1 et KCNE1 provoquent également le syndrome de Jervell et Lange-Nielsen, une forme de LQT associée à la surdité, une anomalie phénotypique héritée de façon récessive autosomique. Les analyses mutationnelles ont été utilisées pour cribler 262 individus non apparentés atteints du syndrome LQT afin détecter des mutations dans cinq gènes définis. Un total de 134 mutations ont été observées parmi lesquelles 80 étaient nouvelles.

Patent CA-2383760-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BALK HELGE
IPC: G01S15/46
Filed: 2000-09-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detection of objects, preferably fish, from sonar data. Echo signals from repeated sonar measurements are digitised and registered in a two-dimensional data presentation where echo distance, alternatively the duration of the signal, constitutes one dimension, and the measurement number, alternatively the time of measurement, constitutes the other dimension. Once the desired size of the data presentation is obtained, two-dimensional filtration, adaptive thresholding and morphological processing are carried out to enable an echogram having less noise and more reliable detection of desired objects to be produced. Additional shape analysis further enhances the detection.

Inventor: AHER BARRY
IPC: H05H1/34
Filed: 2000-10-24
Abstract: A plasma torch and method for cutting a workpiece under water directs a primary gas through a primary gas flow path in the torch to a central exit opening of the torch disposed on a longitudinal axis of the torch for exhaustion from the torch onto the workpiece in the form of an ionized plasma.  The workpiece is submerged in water while the plasma torch is operated in closely space relationship with the workpiece to direct the ionized plasma upon the workpiece. A secondary gas flow path in the torch receives a secondary gas separate from the primary gas and directs it through the torch.  Concentrically arranged first and second sets of secondary exit openings are disposed in the torch separate from the central exit opening and in generally radially spaced relationship with the longitudinal axis of the torch. The secondary exit openings exhaust secondary gas from the torch in a direction generally toward the workpiece. The secondary gas is exhausted from the first and second secondary exit openings at a flow rate sufficient to displace water surrounding the ionized plasma exiting the central exit opening of the torch to inhibit quenching of the ionized plasma.

Title: Method and apparatus for channel optimization during point-to-point protocol (ppp) session requests
Inventor: ABROL NISCHAL
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for requesting PPP instances from a packet data services network includes a mobile station configured to send an origination message to a packet data service node (PDSN) at which it has arrived upon leaving the vicinity of another PDSN. The message informs the new PDSN of the new location of the mobile station and indicates both the number of dormant PPP instances associated with the mobile station and a service reference identifier for each such PPP instance. A flag within the message may be used to indicate whether the PPP instances are dormant (i.e., whether the mobile station is engaged in a call). Communications channel resources of packet data services nodes are optimized by reducing the information included in messages from the Packet Control Function network element to the Packet Data Service Node network element, and by reducing the use of Mobile Internet Protocol agent advertisement.
