Patent CA-2748469-A1 (CA)

IPC: H02K53/00

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for generating electrical energy from dropping metal spheres, which could be iron, steel, or neodymium magnets, through a turbine connected to a generator. When the invention is manufactured, the metal spheres are placed at the top so it has mechanical energy in the form of gravitational potential energy. When the invention is first turned on, the metal spheres simply drop down, pulled by gravity's natural force of attraction (i.e. gravitational potential energy). When the metal spheres hit the turbine at the bottom, the kinetic energy (the energy which an object possesses due to its motion) is converted into electrical energy because the rotating shaft of the turbine is connected to a generator. Once the metal sphere drops to the bottom of the invention, a series of neodymium magnets aligned along a magnet track lift it back up to the top. When it reaches the top it once again drops.  There are several metal spheres moving throughout the invention keeping the turbine rotating. In this process the electric generator produces electrical energy. Furthermore, since the metal spheres can themselves be neodymium magnets, the magnet track is wrapped in a wire coil, so that as the neodymium magnet spheres moves along the magnet track through the wire coil (like a train moving along a track through a tunnel), an electric current will be generated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sustained-release pharmaceutical composition comprising metoclopramide chlorhydrate in the form of tablets containing 15 mg of the active principle, intended for use in gastrointestinal disorders. The formulation mainly consists of a hydrophilic polymer, a hydrophobic polymer, a hydrophilic component and metoclopramide chlorhydrate. The hydrophilic polymer swells due to hydration upon contact with water, forming a layer of gel which controls the release of the active principle. The water inside the matrix dissolves the active principle which spreads towards the exterior through the layer of gel. The hydrophobic polymer displays plastic deformation properties under compression, surrounding the particles of the active principle and reducing the quantity and dimensions of the pores in the matrix structure, thereby slowing the release of the active principle. The hydrophilic component forms part of the structure of the gel layer, supporting same. The active principle is metoclopramide chlorhydrate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for expediting the authorization of an electronic payment transaction. Authorization of a transaction at a node of an authorization network is the result of inferring the trustworthiness of a customer to the transaction using data obtained from a different node of the authorization network. The authorization process is expedited by relying on the previous authentication decision of another node, where the previous decision may have been made based on a different payment device or different user inputs. The invention uses a decision made by a first node in the authorization network as a proxy for the authorization decision at a different node, thereby transferring the trustworthiness of a consumer, consumer's device, payment device, or other aspect of the transaction from the first node to the second.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing a search for article content at a plurality of content sites
Inventor: WOJTOWICZ LECH JULIUSZ
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2012-06-22
Abstract: In order to retrieve article level content from a plurality of content providers, a federated search program receives a generic query from a user and dispatches the query simultaneously to a plurality of connector objects. Each connector object that is associated with a particular content source and contains source specific code that reformats the generic query into a proprietary format required for the associated content source. The proprietary query is then dispatched to the content source. When the results at the content source are ready, the result set is fetched by the connector. The fetched results are then mapped into a standard format. The standard result sets from the different content sources are then merged into a single consolidated result set. Duplicate documents are removed from the consolidated result set and the final results are sorted in accordance with criteria specified by the user and presented to the user.
