Patent CA-2381759-A1 (CA)
Title: Professional time tracking and recouping system and software
Inventor: WINWOOD MARK
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: An apparatus and a method for tracking time spent on one or more Internet sites. The tracked information may then be used to generate detailed records containing the URLs of the sites visited, the exact time spent on each site, and a record of any downloads, file transfers, or other activities performed by the user. One or more reports (113) may be generated from the detailed records and list the activity by each user, tabulating the web site accessed and the time spent on that web site. This information may then be utilized to generate an invoice for the work performed. The reports may be generated and stored electronically, and may be accessed by an invoicing program which uses stored hourly rates in conjunction with the information in the report to generate a detailed invoice for the client. The invention may be deployed on a personal computer (101), and enabled by a service operator (115) who provides the time tracking and recouping system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la lyse efficace de cellules dans de petits échantillons, c'est-à-dire des échantillons inférieurs à un millilitre, obtenue par exposition de l'échantillon à une radiation électromagnétiques dans une plage de fréquences comprise entre 18 et 26 GHz. L'échantillon contenant les cellules est logé dans une cavité guide d'ondes, et une source hyperfréquence fournit la radiation électromagnétique au port d'entrée de la cavité guide d'ondes. Un ordinateur règle la fréquence et le niveau de puissance de la radiation électromagnétique produite par la source hyperfréquence. L'ordinateur surveille également le niveau de puissance d'entrée de la radiation électromagnétique au port d'entrée au moyen d'un instrument de mesure de puissance d'entrée, le niveau de puissance de sortie au port de sortie au moyen d'un instrument de mesure de puissance de sortie, et la température de l'échantillon au moyen d'un thermocouple. L'ordinateur peut ainsi modifier les paramètres de fonctionnement afin d'obtenir une lyse de cellules efficace.

Title: Cleaning system utilizing an organic cleaning solvent and a pressurized fluid solvent
Inventor: SCHULTE JAMES E
IPC: D06F43/08
Filed: 2000-10-13
Abstract: A cleaning system that utilizes an organic cleaning solvent and pressurized fluid solvent is disclosed. The system has no conventional evaporative hot air drying cycle. Instead, the system utilizes the solubility of the organic solvent in pressurized fluid solvent as well as the physical properties of pressurized fluid solvent. After an organic solvent cleaning cycle, the solvent is extracted from the textiles at high speed in a rotating drum in the same way conventional solvents are extracted from textiles in conventional evaporative hot air dry cleaning machines. Instead of proceeding to a conventional drying cycle, the extracted textiles are then immersed in pressurized fluid solvent to extract the residual organic solvent from the textiles. This is possible because the organic solvent is soluble in pressurized fluid solvent. After the textiles are immersed in pressurized fluid solvent, pressurized fluid solvent is pumped from the drum. Finally, the drum is de-pressurized to atmospheric pressure to evaporate any remaining pressurized fluid solvent, yielding clean, solvent free textiles. The organic solvent is preferably dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, tripropylene glycol n-butyl ether or tripropylene glycol methyl ether, a mixture thereof, or a similar solvent and the pressurized fluid solvent is preferably densified carbon dioxide.

Title: Method for carefully distilling residual oil for a short time
Inventor: ZENTNER UDO
IPC: C10G9/28
Filed: 2000-11-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a residual oil caused by the treatment of crude oil, natural bitumen or oil sand. The residual oil is mixed with grained, hot coke acting as a heat transfer medium (thermal coke) in a mixer and at a weight ratio of 1:3 to 1:30. A liquid residual film is produced on the grains of the thermal coke. Said film partially vaporises in the mixer.     Gases and vapours and moist, sticky coke are withdrawn from the mixer. The mixture consisting of coke and residual oil is guided into a downstream stirrer pot and slowly moves downwards in said pot, whereby the mixture is stirred mechanically at a temperature ranging from 450 to 600 °C and preferably 480 to 550 °C. Dry, pourable coke is withdrawn from the stirrer pot. Sojourn time of the thermal coke in the stirrer pot usually amounts to 1 to 30 minutes.
