Patent CA-2354563-C (CA)

Abstract: When constructing laminate covered countertops it is common to place a laminate covered edge piece on the vertical edge of a laminate covered top piece. When the edge piece has a beveled corner it is difficult to obtain a sharp straight line between the laminate on the top of the edge piece and the laminate on the bevel because the laminate varies in thickness. This problem is overcome by making a first cut into a laminate-covered edge piece at the angle of the bevel at the front edge of the edge piece. The first cut terminates below the laminate at the top of the edge piece. A second cut is made through the laminate and into the edge piece at an angle that is normal to the first cut. The second cut intersects the first cut at its upper extremity and has a predetermined depth. A rectangularly cross-sectioned laminate-covered bevel piece, having a thickness equal to this predetermined depth, is then adhesively attached to the edge piece abutting the surfaces formed by the first and second cuts. By making the thickness of the bevel piece, including the laminate covering it, have the same thickness as the second cut any variances in the thickness of the laminate are compensated for and a sharp straight line is created between the laminate on the top of the edge piece and the laminate on the bevel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a golf club design and method of designing a golf club. When the club is oriented at its design loft, a lean angle, defined as the angle between (i) a projection of the centerline of the shaft onto a vertical plane, the plane being along an intended line of play and (ii) a vertical line in such vertical plane, is tailored based upon the design loft, at least one of the lie, length and offset of the club and at least one swing characteristic of the golfer. Such swing characteristics may include a location of the hands of the golfer upon impact of the club with a golf ball, an effective loft of the club, and a location of the golf ball in the stance of the golfer when the golfer addresses a golf ball.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for enhancing a digital image without distortion of the color. A digital format (13) contains an image. A processor (14) implements a method for extracting color dot information from the digital format and enhancing the image while varying the effective light gathering power. The image enhancement is performed in RGB color space and comprises determining the maximum strength of the R, G, and B of each dot's RGB triplet and similarly for all dots. The dot maximums are scaled through a scaling function which is constrained in domain and range to the system's dynamic range. The corresponding scaling factor that is applied to a dot maximum is also applied to each of R, G and B in the triplet. Preferably, a continuous scaling function is provided which smoothly approaches the minimum and maximum of the system's dynamic range for providing an aesthetically pleasing enhancement while maintaining true color In a forensic embodiment, a portion of the image can be selected in RGB color space and normalized to substantially the entire dynamic range, thereby emphasizing the area of interest, all without affecting the ratios of R,G and B for maintaining true color.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the administration of medication to a patient utilizes adaptive feedback to achieve and maintain a target effect in said patient. A sensor package having one or more sensors is used to sense an attribute of the patient and to provide a parameter indicating the attribute being sensed. A medication delivery controller accepts one or more parameters from the sensor package and uses these parameters to determine the effect of a medication on a patient and the concentration level of medication that will achieve a desired effect. The medication delivery controller controls the medication delivery unit to deliver the medication at a rate determined to achieve said target concentration level of said medication in said patient. If the patient's response to a given medication changes as a result of external stimuli, the medication delivery controller can detect this change and determine a new concentration level of medication which will achieve the desired effect. The medication delivery controller can steer the medication delivery unit to administer an amount of medication to reach this new concentration level.

Abstract: A method is set forth of controlling an acoustic echo canceller at the output of a beamformer in an audio conferencing device. Information is saved to, and retrieved from, memory that characterizes each of a finite number of look directions, or regions of focus, covering the entire spatial span of the conferencing device. Each time a change occurs from a first look direction to a second look direction, information relating to the workspace captured by the acoustic echo canceller is saved for the first look direction, and previously saved information for the second look direction is retrieved from memory. The acoustic echo cancellation then takes place for the second look direction with the retrieved information.

Title: Context management with audit capability
Inventor: SELIGER ROBERT
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2001-12-11
Granted: 2012-03-20
Abstract: A context management framework is given that provides in various embodiments, numerous advantages over previously-existing systems. In some instances, an architecture having a centralized storage location coupled to a context manager is provided for servicing and logging context events from a plurality of sources. This type of system uses a synchronization scheme to perform orderly storage and retrieval of data to and from the centralized storage location. In other instances, information stored in the centralized storage location or signals from the context manager are used to achieve an auditing capacity for reviewing and acting on context data events and gestures.  Selective blocking or allowance of impending context gestures or data-access events is accomplished based on a rule set or lookup table containing rules or other data to make such access-control decisions. Access to private data and other security measures may thus be implemented using the teachings presented herein. Furthermore, a communication paradigm, using a Web-proxy, which identifies ordinarily-unidentified applications to a concert manager is provided according to some embodiments of the invention.

Abstract: Cette invention porte sur une méthode de traitement de tissus inflammés, précancéreux ou cancéreux ou de polypes chez un mammifère. Le traitement consiste à administrer une composition contenant au moins un agoniste peptidique d'un récepteur du type guanylate cyclase et/ou d'autres petites molécules qui renforcent la production intracellulaire de cGMP. Le ou les agonistes peptidiques d'un récepteur du type guanylate cyclase peuvent être administrés seuls ou en combinaison avec un inhibiteur de phosphodiestérase dépendant du cGMP. Cet inhibiteur peut être une petite molécule, un peptide, une protéine ou un autre composé qui inhibe la dégradation du cGMP. Ce traitement, sans qu'il nécessite de mécanisme d'action particulier, peut restaurer un équilibre sain entre la prolifération et l'apoptose dans la population de cellules épithéliales du sujet, et supprimer également la carcinogenèse. De ce fait, cette méthode peut servir pour traiter, inter alia, l'inflammation, telle que les troubles inflammatoires gastro-intestinaux, l'inflammation d'un organe en général ou l'asthme, ainsi que la carcinogenèse du poumon, du tractus gastro-intestinal, de la vessie, des testicules, de la prostate et du pancréas, ou des polypes.
