Abstract: An approach for providing retrieval of information over a packet switched network is disclosed. A client (105) is configured to transmit a request message for information over the packet switched network. A stateless-server  (131) is configured to communicate with the client (105) and to forward a portion of the information to the client (105) in response to the request message, wherein the client (105) transmits a selection message specifying whether the remaining portion of the information should be retrieved from th e server (131). The server (131) selectively forwards the remaining portion of  the information to the client (105). The above approach has particular applicability to a communication system providing directory assistance services (101).

Patent CA-2417663-A1 (CA)
Title: Orthogonal technology for multi-line character recognition
Inventor: ELMENHURST BRIAN J
IPC: G06V30/12
Filed: 2001-07-30
Abstract: The present invention encompasses a self-orthogonal character recognition engine for executing an iterative method employing a database of predetermin ed character strings. The method receives a digital representation of a charact er string (Figure 6). It then generates a proposed result string by applying to  the captured digital image a predetermined recognition routine including one  or more recognition subroutines. Each recognition subroutine employs an initial parameter setting. Next, if the proposed result string does not matc h any of the predetermined character strings in the database, the initial parameter setting of a recognition subroutine is changed to a next setting (628, 630). The recognition process is then repeated using the next paramete r setting to generate and test a next result string. The process can be repeat ed iteratively until a result string is verified or the process times out (502,  504, 506, 510).

Title: Gas valve pin mechanism
Inventor: SERES TRISTAN
IPC: B29C45/20
Filed: 2001-10-23
Abstract: A valve-gate mechanism for use with gas-assisted plastic injection molding systems. A moveable pin mechanism is positioned in a bushing or machine nozzle to regulate the injection of plastic material into a mold cavity. The pin mechanism has an outer pin member and an inner pin member. Movement of the inner pin member relative to the outer pin member allows gas to be injected into the plastic in the mold cavity. A spring member, such as a Belleville washer, biases the inner pin member to a closed position relative to the outer pin member. Gas pressure from the gas source overcomes the force of the spring member allowing gas to enter into the mold cavity.

Title: Apparatus and method for discharging vapour and liquid
Inventor: JUDGE JOHN F
IPC: F25B41/00
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: An apparatus and associated method for discharging a fluid (20) and a liquid (30, 34) separated from the fluid (20) from an outlet chamber (16) of a heat exchanger (11,15). The outlet chamber (16) is configured to collect the separated liquid (30, 34). The apparatus includes a plate (36) that is positionable in the outlet chamber (16) adjacent to the exit surface (17) to form a channel (38) between the plate (36) and the exit surface (17). The plate (36) is configured to protrude over the outlet tube opening (19) so that the fluid (20) flowing through the outlet chamber (16) and into the outlet opening (19) pulls the liquid (30, 34) collected in the outlet chamber (16) through the channel (38) and out through the outlet opening (19) with the fluid (20). Because of the plate (36), the fluid (20) exiting through the outlet opening (19) must flow through a decreased area. This decreased area creates a low pressure region. The low pressure region draws the collected liquid (30, 34) through the channel (36) and discharges it through the outlet opening (19) with the fluid (20).

A mechanism (28)transfers the articles (12)on the first structure (24)to the second structure (30), after the irradiation of the articles (12)on the first structure(24), to obtain the irradiation of the articles (12) on the second structure (30).Each of the first and second structures (24,30) may provide for an irradiation of articles (12)initially through first sides of the articles (12) and subsequently through second sides of the articles (12) opposite to first sides. The irradiation of the first sides of the articles (12)on the first and second support structures (24,30) are preferably synchronous from a time standpoint as are the irradiation of the second sides of the articles (12)on the structures. The transfer mechanism (28)provides for the transfer of the articles (12)from the first structure (24)to the second structure (30)after the synchronous irradiation of the second sides of the articles (12)on the support structures. A loading area (14) transfers articles to the first structure (20,24) for an irradiation of the articles (12)by the x-ray beam. An unloading area (38)provides for transfer of articles (12)from the second structure (30,36) after the irradiation of the opposite sides of the articles (12)on the second structure (30).

Title: Television program delivery system
Inventor: BONNER ALFRED E
IPC: H04N21/2365
Filed: 1993-12-02
Abstract: An expanded television program delivery system is described which allows viewers to select television and audio program choices from a series of menus. The primary components of the system include an operations center, a digital cable headend, and at least one set top terminal having a remote control. The system allows for a great number of television signals to be transmitted by using digital compression techniques. A combined signal is transmitted over satellite to a cable headend, which may modify the combined signal for changes or additions in programming or menu content. The combined or modified signal is subsequently distributed to individual set top terminals in the cable network. Menus are partially stored in a set top terminal in each subscriber's home and may be reprogrammed by signals sent from the operations center or headend. Numerous types of menus may be used, incorporating information included within the video/data signal received by the set top terminal. A remote control unit with icon buttons allows a subscriber to select programs based upon a series of major menus, submenus, and during program menus. Various data gathering and analysis techniques are used to compile programs watched information that in turn is used in packaging programs, customizing menu selections, targeting advertisements, and maintaining account and billing information.
