Patent CA-2320813-A1 (CA)
Title: Amylolytic enzyme variants
Inventor: FRANDSEN TORBEN PETER
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: The inventors have discovered some striking, and not previously predicted structural similarities and differences between the structure of Novamyl and the reported structures of CGTases, and based on this they have constructed variants of maltogenic alpha-amylase having CGTase activity and variants of CGTase having maltogenic alpha-amylase activity. Further, on the basis of sequence homology between Novamyl and CGTases, the inventors have constructed hybrid enzymes with one or more improvements to specific properties of the parent enzymes, using recombinant DNA methodology.
Patent CA-2324004-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for site management
Inventor: LONG WILLIAM III
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: A system for monitoring and maintening unattended liquid storage and dispensing sites. A site monitor (38) continuously appends text strings received from a site controller (22) to HTML text files (46) and simultaneously compares the stored text strings representing site events to be monitored with evaluation messages. Each evaluation message is linked to an alert code, which in response to an evaluation message text string match initiates a particular set of responses including sending notice of site failures and other remote site information to a home office via fax, pager and/or email. Site monitor (38) also collects the information gathered from the site controller (22), the tank monitor (28), alarm system (30) and any other site devices and stores the information in a one or more HTML text files (46), which information then takes the form of a web page with hypertext links to images related to the stored information.
Patent CA-2324535-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHATZ RYAN RICHARD
IPC: H04J3/07
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: Pointer justification event induced low frequency jitter is attenuated during desynchronization of a synchronous input data stream into a plesiosynchronous output data stream. The output data stream has a clock rate T and is made up of tb byte multi-frames containing a nominal number tdb of data bits (tdb = 772 and tb =104 for T1 data; tdb =1024 and tb =140 for E1 data). An integer number pc of phase adjustment commands are provided (in the preferred embodiment, pc =12 for T1 data and pc = 9 for E1 data). A count having a total value pjT, where 1 <=spjT<=stb, is maintained of the total number of positive point-er justification events previously encountered in the data stream. A separate count having a total value pcT, where 1 <=spcT<=tdb*pc, is maintained of the total number of previously issued phase adjustment commands. If a positive pointer justification event is detected in the data stream, pjT is incremented by one. If a negative pointer justifica-tion event is detected in the data stream, pjT is decremented by one. If, at any time, tdb/tb*pjT*pc > pcT, then positive phase adjustment commands are issued and pcT is incremented by one for each issued positive phase adjustment command, until tdb/tb*pjT*pc = pcT. If, at any time, tdb/tb*pjT*pc < pcT, then negative phase adjustment com-mands are issued and pcT is decremented by one for each issued nega-tive phase adjustment command until tdb/tb*pjT*pc = pcT. The rate of command issuance can be adaptively varied as a function of the magni-tude of the difference between pcT and tdb/tb*pjT*pc. The clock rate T is varied by adding the issued positive phase adjustment commands to the clock rate T and subtracting the issued negative phase adjustment commands from the clock rate T as the phase adjustment commands are issued.

Title: Full combined c and l bands optical amplifier and method
Inventor: AHMADVAND NIMA
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2001-04-18
Abstract: An optical amplifier for two adjacent bands of optical data channels provides gain across the entire spectrum; including the so-called dead-band, by splitting the entire input signal equally into two paths. One path is optimized to amplify one band and the other path is optimized to amplify the other. An optical delay in one path, usually the one optimized for the lower wavelength band, ensures equal optical path lengths for the two paths. The amplified signals in that two paths are then combined to yield or flat gain profile across the two bands and the gap in-between.
