Title: Apparatus and method for dynamically limiting information sent to a viewing device
Inventor: YACH DAVID
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2000-11-24
Granted: 2007-07-03
Abstract: A system and method for transporting user-restricted data from a gateway device to a handheld viewing device is provided. The gateway device includes an information translator, content filters, and storage. The information translator delivers content from an information database coupled to the gateway to the handheld viewing device. A viewing component of the handheld device receives all possible data from the gateway device that the handheld device is capable of viewing. The user of the handheld device is then able to manually select certain portions of data through a user interface. Once the selection is complete, a series of comments are returned to the gateway device from the handheld device so that a subsequent viewing corresponds only to that information selected by the user.

Title: Dual filter with flow mixer
Inventor: RHYNE GREGORY K
IPC: B01D29/92
Filed: 2000-12-28
Granted: 2009-08-25
Abstract: A filter for filtering a fluid, such as lubricating oil for an engine, has a full flow filter element and a bypass filter element stacked on the full flow filter element. A flow-deflecting element is disposed between the full flow filter element and bypass filter element to provide a spinning motion to oil flowing from the bypass element as that oil joins oil which is passed through the full flow filter element. The spinning motion of the oil from the bypass filter element encourages mixing of the oil from the bypass filter element with the oil filtered by the full filter element. During operation of the engine this arrangement tends to provide cleaner lubricating oil and therefore reduces engine wear while increasing the time interval between scheduled maintenance.

Title: Support for supporting an ice beaker in use
Inventor: GHEDINI LAURO
IPC: F25D3/02
Filed: 1999-06-28
Granted: 2008-02-05
Abstract: A support for an ice beaker comprises a cup-shaped body with a side wall and a base for collecting the water resulting from the progressive melting of an ice beaker housed in the cup-shaped body. The side wall comprises regions, arranged spaced apart on the side wall, for supporting and restraining the outer wall of an ice beaker. The ice beaker can be produced by an ice-making machine comprising a condensation plate with housings for receiving atomized water to form frozen elements. Each housing of the condensation plate comprises a conical side wall and a base wall, the taper of the side wall being sufficiently wide to bring about the formation of a frozen element which has a central cavity so as to be generally beaker-shaped. In the production method, an intermediate waiting step of predetermined duration is interposed between the interruption of the cooling and the start of the heating of the condensation plate.

Patent CA-2351157-C (CA)
Inventor: KOCHIE PATRICK S
IPC: G05B19/00
Filed: 2001-06-21
Granted: 2009-11-17
Abstract: A security system for control access of multiple users to a selected area combines rotating electronic security code or equivalent technology with an automatic self- learning receiver. The first transmitter is "learned" by the receiver manually, but subsequent transmitters are learned without the need for actuating the conventional "manual learn" mode of the receiver. Instead, by simply sending the transmit signal twice within a fixed time period, users of the subsequent transmitters use "self-learning" circuitry (interposed between conventional transmitter and receiver technology) in a way that is relatively transparent to the user. Other aspects of conventional systems are provided, such as separate control via computer or otherwise of an authorized list of uniquely-identified transmitters. In alternative embodiments, even the first transmitter/controller can be programmed into the receiver (such as at the time of manufacturing, or installing the system).
