Patent CA-2333214-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZHANG JIANBIN
IPC: A61F13/511
Filed: 1999-05-25
Abstract: The present invention pertains to a porous, macroscopically-expanded, three-dimensional, elastomeric web suitable for use in disposable absorbent articles such as bandages, diapers and pull-up diaper training pants, as well as a method for making the web. In a preferred embodiment the web has a continuous first surface and a discontinuous second surface remote from first surface. In a preferred embodiment the elastomeric web exhibits a multiplicity of primary apertures in the first surface of the web, the primary apertures being defined in the plane of the first surface by a continuous network of interconnecting members. Each interconnecting member exhibits an upwardly concave-shaped cross section along its length. The interconnecting members terminate substantially concurrently with one another to form a secondary aperture in the plane of the second surface of the web.

Title: Method of delivering groceries purchased over the internet
Inventor: LIBERMAN BARNET L
IPC: G07F17/10
Filed: 2001-05-07
Abstract: Groceries ordered over the Internet by a particular time in the early evening may be delivered by the next morning to a location within a 5-6 hour delivery radius of a warehouse. The grocery order is filled at the warehouse, where the groceries are placed in a tote for delivery. If perishable groceries are to be delivered, a frozen insert is placed in the tote to maintain the groceries at a desired temperature. The filled tote is placed on a rack, which is removable with the tote on it. The racks have shelves that are pitched such that when a first tote is removed a second tote behind the first tote falls into the space previously occupied by the first tote. In the early evening, after the cutoff time for placing orders, the rack and totes on the rack are transferred to a first vehicle, typically a large trailer, that transports the rack and totes to a transfer point where the rack and the accompanying bill of lading are transferred to a second smaller vehicle, such as a van. The van delivers the totes to customers along a pre-established route. Upon reaching a delivery destination (usually a customer's home) by early the next morning, the van driver removes the tote for that customer from the van and secures it at the delivery destination. The tote may be secured in a locked expandable bag, such as a mesh net or insulated bag, that is itself secured to a grocery box. Alternatively, the tote may be secured by looping a chain or cable through and around a pair of eyelets on the tote. The customer removes the tote from the bag, removes the groceries from the tote, and returns the used tote to the bag for later pickup by the van.

Abstract: Routing table update messsages that include both network-level and link-level addresses of nodes of a computer network are exchanged among the nodes of the computer network. Further, a routing table maintained by a first one of the nodes of the computer network may be updated in response to receiving one or more of the update messages. The shortest distance to the destination node may be determined according to one or more link-state and/or node-state metrics regarding communication links and nodes along the path to the destination node. Also, the nodal characteristics of the nodes of the computer system may be exchanged between neighbor nodes, prior to updating the routing table.

Abstract: A fence system for a band saw. The band saw defines an actual cutting plane and has a table having a table surface defining a desired cutting plane. The fence system comprises a rail member, a base member, a locking assembly, a fence member defining a fence surface, and an adjustment system. The rail member is mounted on the table and defines a rail axis that is substantially perpendicular to the desired cutting plane. The base member is supported by the rail member. The locking assembly selectively locks the base member at a selected position along the rail axis. The adjustment system mounts the fence member to the base member at a selected angle relative to the rail axis. The base member defines a pivot point about which the fence member is rotated by the adjustment system, and the pivot point is adjacent to the rail member.

IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-10-23
Abstract: To provide suitable QoS in a WLAN distributing voice, data and multimedia broadband in any end-to-end context, RF link errors are monitored in real time and applied as input to recovery and corrective procedures. The performance measures considered in normally evaluating a link QoS include throughput (bandwidth), delay, jitter and bit error rate (BER) but these alone. do not properly evaluate a QoS for real-time services. In the exemplary embodiment, the frame error rate (FER) is compared with a threshold to define quality. If the error threshold is exceeded recovery procedures are instituted to restore the desired signal quality. The exemplary WLAN system has a capacity for providing isochronous services, such as broadband multimedia (including high speed video) and real-time toll quality voice service, and includes real time error detection and recovery procedures to maintain a desired individualized Quality of Service (QoS) appropriate for individual services.

Title: Compositions and methods useful for production of recombinant viruses which require helper viruses
Inventor: XIAO WEIDONG
IPC: C12N7/01
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: A method of producing recombinant viruses which require helper viruses for packaging is provided. The method uses a recombinant helper virus which has been designed to contain at least one rare-cutting restriction site (e.g., f or I-SceI), a viral vector which is helper-dependent for packaging, and a recombinant host cell which is capable of expressing a rare-cutting restriction enzyme (e.g., I-SceI). The method involves transfecting or infecting the host cell with the helper virus and viral vector and incubatin g the cell under conditions which permit encapsidation of the viral vector in an adenovirus capside. Thereafter, the I-SceI expressed by the host cell digest s the helper virus, permitting ready separation of the digested fragments of t he helper virus from the packaged recombinant virus.
Patent CA-2376365-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOEY MICHAEL F
IPC: A61B18/08
Filed: 1996-10-02
Abstract: An electrocautery device is disclosed. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the electrocautery electrode/tip is provided with a hollow, conductive tube terminating at its distal end in a ball point type tip. Fluid, preferably conductive fluid, is applied to the proximal end of the hollow electrode/tip, and expelled from the distal end thereof during electrocautery. The ball point distal tip allows the distal tip to be directly applied to the tissue and "rolled" or slid along the tissue. This allows the distal tip to be moved across the tissue without dragging or snagging on the tissue. In addition, the conductive fluid expelled from the distal tip further lubricates the distal tip as it moves across the tissue. If conductive fluid is used, the conductive fluid emanating from the electrode/tip conducts the RF electrocautery energy away from the distal tip so that it is primarily the fluid, rather than the distal tip that actually accomplishes the cauterizing of tissue. That is, the fluid serves as a "virtual" electrocautery electrode. Since it is the fluid, rather than the distal tip that cauterizes, coagulates and ablates, no burns or perforations are made to the tissue, reducing the amount of debris at the site. Also, the flow of fluid through the electrode/tip tends to keep the distal tip clean and cool.
