Title: Portable search engine
Inventor: AKAEZUWA EMEKA
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2006-03-17
Abstract: POSE is a portable search engine that is designed to be a search platform. A search platform is a search engine that runs on all the devices, on all the platforms, parses most of the data formats, regardless of platform and is Unicode-based. POSE runs on portable and miniaturized drives and devices such as portable removable drives, cellular phones, PDAs, nano drives and any device that has a portable hard drive embedded. The idea of POSE is that device, search and data should occupy the same space. In this regard, search moves into the devices rather than stay on the desktop. Moving search into these devices makes search as portable as the data carried on these portable drives and devices.  To intelligently manage the flow of information within and among devices and between devices that are connected to public information systems, POSE creates a series of device registries, federation of devices, device knowledgebase and rules files. Collectively these files moderate the exchange of data among devices, identify device owners, define what a device is and what its capabilities are and help to enable data conversion from one device's format to another.

Patent CA-2549488-A1 (CA)
Title: Repeatably releasable cable connector
Inventor: ROSSI FREDERICK
IPC: B60D1/64
Filed: 2006-06-06
Abstract: A cable connector has male and female connector portions that slide together in a mating direction. The housing of one connector portion has a shoulder with a surface roughly perpendicular to the mating direction. The other connector portion has a resilient retainer spring attached thereto which extends parallel to the mating direction. When the connector portions are mated, the retainer spring has a finger which slips over the shoulder surface and is held in position by the resilience of the spring to provide a retention force that resists a separation of the male and female connector portions. However, the finger is shaped and resilience of the retainer spring is such that the finger will slip off the shoulder surface upon application of a sufficiently large separation force so that separation of the connector portions may occur without damage.

The electrochemical method consists of an electrochemical cell fitted with an anode of mild steel or aluminium plate and stainless steel cathode with an inter-electrode distance of 0.5 to 1.5cm. Drinking water containing 0.5 to 3.0 mg/l of arsenate at a pH in the range of 3-10 and at a temperature between 20-60~C is electrolysed at anode and cathode current densities between 0.05 -0.2A.dm-2. The iron hydroxide / aluminium hydroxide formed from the anode during electrolysis adsorbs the arsenate present in the water and settles at the bottom. The removal efficiency of this method is up to 98%.
