Title: Method, article and apparatus for registering registrants, such as voter registrants
Inventor: NEFF C ANDREW
IPC: G06F21/64
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: (see figure 1) A registrant submits a public key of a public/private key pair and identifying information to a registrar. The registrar determines whether the registrant is eligible based on the provided identifying information. The registrar digitally signs the public keys of eligible registrants and forwards the signed public keys to an authenticating authority. Alternatively, the registrant produces a hash card including a hash of the registrant's public key and signs and submits the hash card to the registrar via a courier. The registrant then submits its public key, the registrar electronically. If the hash corresponds to the submitted public key, the registrar digitally signs the public key and forwards the digitally signed public key to an authenticating authority. Alternatively, the registrar identifies a registrant in-person, and provides the registrant with a private key in a secure manner, then forwards a digitally signed public key to the authenticating authority. Alternatively, the registrant produces a hash card including a hash of its public key and signs and submits the hash card to the registrar in-person. The registrant then electronically submits the public key to a registrar. The registrar digitally signs the public key if the hash corresponds to the electronically submitted public key. The registrar forwards the digitally signed public key to an authenticating authority for use in authenticating the source of the encrypted information submitted by the registrant.

Abstract: A method of making a covered stent comprises the steps of producing a stent (1) having a diameter corresponding to an unexpanded state of the stent (1) and producing a tube (2) of a film material. The film material of the tube ( 2) should be shrinkable by exposure to an elevated temperature and the tube (2)  should, before shrinking, have a greater diameter than the stent (1). As further steps of the method, the stent (1) is introduced into the tube (2), and the tube (2) is exposed to the elevated temperature for reducing the diameter of the tube (2) such that the stent (1) is affixed within the tube (2). The tube may be longer than the stent such that the ends of the tube ma y be introduced into the ends of the stent and affixed by short sections of a stent material. Collars may be formed at the ends of the tube and may also b e covered by the film material.

Title: Mesure non invasive du niveau de sucre dans le sang
Inventor: WINTHER DALE E
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2000-01-21
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système de mesure non invasive qui offre une technique de manipulation de données d'ondes. Plus particulièrement, les données d'ondes réfléchies par une entité biologique sont reçues et une fois réfléchies elles sont mises en corrélation avec une substance contenue dans l'entité biologique. Les données d'ondes peuvent comporter des ondes lumineuses et l'entité biologique peut être un organisme humain ou du sang. En outre, la substance mise en corrélation peut être notamment une molécule ou une substance ionique. Cette molécule peut être notamment une molécule de glucose. Les données d'ondes sont en outre utilisées pour former une matrice de pixels avec les données d'ondes reçues. La matrice de pixel peut être modifiée par des techniques de masquage, d'étirement ou d'élimination des points chauds. Les pixels peuvent ensuite être intégrés pour produire une valeur d'intégration qui est mise en corrélation avec un niveau de glucose. Le processus de corrélation peut utiliser une table de consultation, laquelle peut être étalonnée sur une entité biologique particulière. Une amplitude et un angle de phase peuvent en outre être calculés pour les données d'ondes réfléchies et servir à identifier un niveau de glucose dans l'entité biologique. Les données d'ondes réfléchies peuvent en outre servir à déterminer la pression d'un glaucome. Le niveau de glucose peut être affiché sur un écran de contrôle relié à l'ordinateur. L'ordinateur peut être une unité autonome portative, qui contient un processeur de données et un système de capture de la réflexion des ondes. D'autre part, l'ordinateur peut être relié à un réseau d'ordinateurs, où les données d'ondes réfléchies sont reçues par l'ordinateur et acheminées vers un autre ordinateur du réseau pour leur traitement.

Inventor: NGO HUNG VIET
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: A single-piece guide boot for a fiber optic ribbon cable includes an angled section and a straight section or termination plug. The guide boot comprises an outer sleeve or body that defines an inner passageway, and has a first end for receiving the cable and a termination port. The inner passageway is dimensioned to allow a user to insert a cable through the passageway. The body with the inner passageway is used for guiding, bending, and/or twisting the cable. The body is angled at the desired angle (or radius of curvature), such as about 45 degrees or about 90 degrees. The body could have an outer diameter that decreases toward the first end. The inner passageway could be tapered to allow the cable to twist along the length of the boot without interference.  The cable is inserted into the guide boot and through a cut-out window, at which time it is twisted or otherwise rotated. The cable is then re-inserted through the window and through the termination port of the termination plug.

Patent CA-2402554-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KINGSLEY SIMON PHILIP
IPC: H01Q21/06
Filed: 2001-03-02
Abstract: A radiating antenna capable of generating or receiving radiation using a plurality of dielectric resonator segments disposed in a circular array is disclosed. The purpose of using multiple dielectric resonator segments within a single antenna system is to produce several beams each having a "boresight"  (that is, a direction of maximum radiation on transmit, or a direction of maximum sensitivity on receive) in a different direction. Several such beams may be excited simultaneously to form a new beam in any arbitrary direction.  The new beam may be incrementally or continuously steerable and may be steered through a complete 360 degree circle. When two segments are excited simultaneously, the antenna may have a narrower main lobe and/or a smaller backlobe than for a single segment alone. When receiving radio signals, electronic processing of such multiple beams may be used to find the direction of those signals, thus forming the basis of a radio direction finding device.  Further, by forming a transmitting beam or resolving a receiving beam in the direction of the incoming radio signal, a "smart" or "intelligent" antenna may be constructed. Beamsteering and smart antenna technology may also be used to steer a sharp null in a particular direction to avoid transmitting there or to avoid receiving interfering signals from that direction. The dielectric resonator segments are mounted on a ground plane, are substantially cylindrical or trapezoidal segments in shape, and are fed by internal probes or external ground plane apertures.
