Title: Appareil et procede pour confectionner des vetements sur mesure
Inventor: PARK SUNG K
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 1997-04-09
Abstract: La présente invention consiste en un système et en un procédé pour fabriquer des vêtements sur mesure à l'aide de modèles d'essayage de tailles différentes prédéterminées en vue de fabriquer un produit fini. Un système est utilisé pour tenir compte du nombre de modèles d'essayage et de leur taille respective. Lorsqu'un client revêt un modèle d'essayage, un dispositif relié au système est utilisé pour recueillir ses commentaires au sujet de l'ajustement. Si un modèle d'essayage n'est pas de la taille appropriée, le système en propose un autre en fonction de règles prédéterminées. Lorsqu'un modèle d'essayage est choisi par l'acheteur, ces données sont intégrées au système de fabrication et un vêtement d'une taille correspondant à celle du modèle d'essayage approuvé est coupé, cousu, traité et livré comme produit fini.

Patent CA-2219499-A1 (CA)
Title: Valve assembly
Inventor: BARAK SWI
IPC: F16K15/14
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: A valve assembly (12) includes a liquid inlet (16), a liquid outlet (18) and a resilient valve member membrane (20) disposed therebetween, separating the inlet (16) and the outlet (18), having one or more holes (22). When there is no pressure difference across the membrane (20), the walls of the one or more holes (22) are collapsed and no liquid can pass therethrough, and when the pressure difference across the membrane (20) exceeds a certain threshold level, stretching of the membrane (20) causes opening of the one or more holes (22) to allow liquid to pass from the inlet (16) to the outlet (18).

Patent CA-2219839-A1 (CA)
Title: Time-based paging for mobile telephone units
Inventor: HANSON ROBERT J
IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 1997-10-31
Abstract: An arrangement for paging mobile telephone units (MTU) in a cellular mobile system that conserves paging resources. If the elapsed time since the most recent registration of an MTU is small, then an initial page covering only the cell of the most recent cell location for the target MTU, and the neighboring cells for that cell, is used. Advantageously, since the likelihood that the MTU is still within that cell or its neighbors is high, so that paging resources are conserved by paging in only a small number of cells.

Title: Recombinant viral nucleic acids
Inventor: DAWSON WILLIAM O
IPC: C12N15/86
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant viral nucleic acid selected from a (+) sense, single stranded RNA virus possessing a native subgenomic promoter encoding for a first viral subgenomic promoter, a nucleic acid sequence that codes for a viral coat protein whose transcription is regulated by the first viral subgenomic promoter, a second viral subgenomic promoter and a second nucleic acid sequence whose transcription is regulated by the second viral subgenomic promoter. The first and second viral subgenomic promoters of the recombinant viral nucleic acid do not have homologous sequences relative to each other. The recombinant viral nucleic acid provides the particular advantage that it systematically transcribes the second nucleic acid in the host. Host organisms encompassed by the present invention include procaryotes and eucaryotes, particularly animals and plants. The present invention also relates to viruses containing the viral vectors which are infective, production cells which are capable of producing the viruses or parts thereof, a host infected by the viruses of the invention, the gene products produced by expression of the viral nucleic acids and a process for the production of a desired product by growing the infected hosts.

Ce vêtement permet d'empêcher les jeunes enfants de tomber de leur lit, de les maintenir au chaud sans qu'ils puissent se déborder, tout en permettant de les sortir rapidement du lit, voire de les en arracher en cas d'urgence. En obligeant l'enfant à rester couché sur le dos, il contribue à la lutte contre la mort subite du nourrisson.
Patent CA-2224753-A1 (CA)
Title: An atm switch queuing system
Inventor: WILLS JEFFREY MERLIN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: An ATM switch with a switch queuing system which minimizes cell loss for bursty traffic, while avoiding delay for time-critical. The switch has a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports, a switch fabric transmitting cells from the input ports to the output ports, and a backpressure signal circuit connected between each output buffer of each output port and each input buffer of each input port. Each input port has an input buffer holding ATM cells when the cells arrive faster from the port's input channel than the input port can transmit. The input port transmits cells from its input buffer responsive to a plurality of priority levels.      Each output port has an output buffer holding cells when the cells arrive faster from the input ports than the output port can transmit. The output port also transmits cells from its output buffer responsive to a plurality of priority levels. The backpressure signal circuit sends a signal from a congested output buffer through the switch fabric to those input port buffers which had immediately transmitted a cell to the output buffer so that the input port buffers cease transmission. In this manner, the ATM switch drops cells on a per-connection basis, rather than on cell priority level.

Title: Two-pack kit for packaging make-your-own cigarettes
Inventor: BOWEN LARRY
IPC: B65D85/10
Filed: 1998-11-10
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided a novel cigarette packaging system for "making your own" smokeable cigarettes. The kit is easily opened and allows a smoker to assemble a smokeable cigarette quickly without requiring great effort. The kit is inexpensive, convenient to use and also convenient to carry and store as its compact size is such that it fits in a person's hand, a shirt or coat pocket as well as in a ladies bag or purse. The kit is also advantageous because it is less expensive than tailor made cigarettes, yet is not that much wider than a standard, typical package of cigarettes. The construction of the kit, is such that it keeps the unsmokeable tobacco elements in a separate compartment which serves to help maintain the freshness of the tobacco.
