In addition, a method is disclosed for implementing multiple personalities within a terminal and switching among such personalities The present inventi on may be applied to a video display terminal capable of operating with a graphical us er interface such as Windows .TM. and provides windowing functionality to permit use of popular applications programs resident on a server, without requiring more than application data to be transmitted from the server, and keyboard and mouse information to be transmitted from the terminal to the server.
Patent CA-2443759-C (CA)
Inventor: MOROSCHAN CASEY
IPC: E02D3/12
Filed: 2003-10-17
Granted: 2008-09-16
Abstract: In this invention, after a hole has been drilled or excavated, injection probe(s) are placed at appropriate depth(s), the excavated native materials are replaced with appropriately sized crushed rock or other natural or synthetic materials, and then a polymeric resin is injected through the probe(s) to encapsulate and bind the fill material, whereby upon curing the polymeric resin and fill material forms a foam friction pile. Such friction piles drilled or excavated adjacent to each other will form a foam sheet piling system. The foam piles can also be re-enforced using nylon, polypropylene, fiberglass, other synthetic or non- synthetic materials or combinations of these materials. The polymeric resin typically would comprise a high density closed cell, water resistant expanding two component polyurethane foam system.

Patent CA-2451652-C (CA)
Title: Probe tip thermal isolation and fast prediction algorithm
Inventor: LANTZ LOREN
IPC: G01K7/42
Filed: 2002-03-28
Granted: 2008-08-05
Abstract: A prediction type electronic thermometer having an actively controlled heater element thermally isolating the probe tip from the probe shaft. Rapid and accurate temperature measurements are made using predictive algorithms.  Control circuitry reads input from the temperature sensing element to compute best heater control signals so that the temperature of the probe shaft rapidly follows changes in the temperature of the probe tip. Thermal isolation between probe shaft and tip impedes heat flow from the heater element to the tip providing more accurate measurements. Rapid and accurate management of shaft temperature allows heat from the patient being measured to be most efficiently transmitted to the temperature sensor element resulting in very fast temperature measurements.
Patent CA-2464166-C (CA)
Inventor: FRYDMAN JONATHAN D
IPC: A47G9/10
Filed: 2004-04-07
Granted: 2008-02-12
Abstract: A leg pillow having two opposing arcuate-shaped bolsters that defines a thigh channel. The bolsters are connected by a bridge having airflow channels on its upper surface and flex channels on its lower planar surface. The bolsters have terminal ends curving inward that form a friction fitting single leg clasp capable of clasping securely an inner thigh of an individual. The clasping of the thigh causes a deformation of the leg pillow which, when the alternate inner thigh rests on the lower planar surface of the bridge opposite the thigh channel, the flex channels therein allow for substantial conformity to the unique contours of the individual's lower body region, thus alleviating stress on the spine and maintaining the spine's natural alignment. The unique features of the present invention resist movement into the unhealthy prone or supine sleeping position and prevent shifting of the pillow while asleep.

Abstract: An aqueous wheel and/or tire cleaning solution for removing the dirt from the surface of aluminum, chrome, stainless steel, painted steel, painted aluminum, clear coated aluminum, rubber, and plastic wheels and tires without scrubbing by applying the cleaning solution to the wheel and/or tire then rinsing the wheel and/or tire with water. Selected polymers include a polyvinylpyrrolidone, a poly(N-vinylimidazole), a poly(4-vinylpyridine-betaine), and/or a poly(4-vinylpyridine-N-oxide) each one of which can be used with conventional wheel cleaning components such as an acid or alkaline-based cleaning formulation to dramatically improve its cleaning power. These polymers can attach to organic and inorganic dirt particles forming a complex with them for easy removal from the wheel and/or tire during rinsing, leaving the wheel and/or tire clean without scrubbing the wheel or tire surface.

Title: Process for synthesizing molecular sieves
Inventor: LESCH DAVID A
IPC: B01J37/03
Filed: 2004-07-14
Granted: 2012-04-03
Abstract: A process for synthesizing a variety of molecular sieves has been developed. The process involves taking a slurry of seed crystals and adding to it nutrients (sources) of the framework elements, e.g. aluminum and silicon in order to grow the seed crystals. The rate of addition of the nutrients is controlled such that it is substantially the same as the crystal growth rate and such that there is substantially no nucleation of new crystals. The seed crystals may be the same or different than the nutrients being added, thus allowing for a layered molecular sieve. When the crystals have reached a desired size, they are isolated by conventional techniques.

Abstract: The onset of cardiac pathology can be predicted by first acquiring a plurality of lead values as a function of time for set of electrocardiogram leads (103) and defining a spatial curve from the lead values for at least three leads. A  fractal index for the spatial curve is calculated as a function of time and the time rate of change of the fractal index is monitored (104). A negative time rate of change is indicative of normal cardiac activity, while a positive time rate of change is indicative of pathological cardiac activity.

Granted: 2006-11-21
Abstract: A physical layer which depends on hardware of a general-purpose interface determines whether an image supply device supports a predetermined communication protocol. A transport layer which controls communication as an upper layer of the physical layer determines whether the image supply device supports the predetermined communication protocol. When either of the physical and transport layers determines that the image supply device supports the predetermined communication protocol, the image supply device is decided to support the predetermined communication protocol. When both of the physical and transport layers do not determine that the image supply device supports the predetermined communication protocol, an application layer serving as an upper layer of the transport layer determines whether the image supply device supports the predetermined communication protocol.

Title: Missile fuse
Inventor: GOLAY JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: F42C15/29
Filed: 2003-02-27
Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: Fuze including safety means (30) comprising an acceleration detector (31) that acts on a timer (32) coacting with a primer housing rotor (14). Rotation of the rotor can be halted by a second safety device (35) responsive to the dynamic pressure generated by the speed of the projectile (11) in flight. For this purpose, the device includes a diaphragm (36) engaging a flexible blade (51) to space apart the end (55) of the blade and the rotor when the dynamic pressure has a predetermined value, whereby a primer (18) can be moved into line in the explosive train. When the dynamic pressure is too low, said end (55) stops the rotor (14) from rotating and the firing procedure is also blocked in a notch in said rotor (14). The resulting fuze thus has highly reliable dual safety means responsive to two separate physical phenomena and having a simple construction.
