Title: Digital television receiver with application programming interface for user management
Inventor: MEANDZIJA BRANISLAV N
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: An Application Programming Interface (API) for applications to manage/access user-related information on a Digital Television (DTV) Receiver/Terminal. The API provides a multi-user environment (using user registry (210) and user profile (220) classes), and a registry for preferences (310) which can be associated with an individual user (user-specific) or be common to all users (system-wide). A set of permissions (230) is associated with each user, or at least with a default user, which represents anybody watching the TV. The permission may provide, for example, a parental control/rating ceiling or permission to buy Impulse Pay Per View (IPPV) programs, or engage in e-commerce transactions (e.g., purchase goods or services via the television).  The invention also supports a mechanism (220) where some applications can, and some cannot, access the preferences based on a security policy. This means that the user may allow only specified trusted applications to access his/her credit card number but not others, for example, for an e-commerce application.

Title: Depilatory composition in sheeted substrate
Inventor: DICIANNA VALERIE DUMONT
IPC: A61K8/97
Filed: 2001-08-08
Abstract: A plurality of sheet-like substrates infused by an aqueous depilatory composition is enclosed in a dispensing enclosure, from which they may be removed one at a time. The depilatory composition adheres to each substrate while in the container, and transfers from the substrate when applied to the skin of a user. The aqueous depilatory composition comprises 45% to 65% by weight of aqueous extract of Japanese green tea, 0.5% to 15% of a thioglycolate depilatory, 0.5% to 15% of a hair inhibitor, and other trace constituents such as an emollient, skin protectors, moisturizer, skin conditioners, essential oils, anti-oxidants, preservatives, sunscreen or the like. The substrates are infused by being placed in a vacuum chamber in which they can be agitated and tumbled, and the ingredients are added in a specific order at specific temperatures, with tumbling and agitation following each step for a specific period of time. The sheet-like substrates allow for easier application of the depilatory composition.

Title: Agri-hitch
Inventor: PARENT RICHARD
IPC: A01B59/042
Filed: 2001-09-05
Abstract: The invention consists of a flexible and movable tie to pull two corn seeders one behind the other in order to reduce by half the precious time required to seed a field. Standard seeders are conceived to be set at pre-fixed rows depending on the crop being seeded.  The invention Agri-Hitch will allow to circumvent this difficulty by towing a second seeder behind the first one that will dig small furrows for sowing the seeds at different lateral spaces from the first seeder.    The invention Agri-Hitch would be adaptable to the majority of corn seeders currently on the market.

IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 2001-10-19
Abstract: A method, apparatus and process for successively casting the six lines that together forms a hexagram in the I Ching system, also known as the Book of Changes. A computer program allows the user to cast each of the six lines by stopping an animated sequence formed of successive symbols appearing on screen one after another. The animated sequence includes four types of symbol that correspond to broken or unbroken lines, with changing or unchanging attribute. An algorithm generates looping sequences and determines the frequency or the duration at which a given symbol is displayed on screen. An answer - or I Ching reading - is displayed on screen after the user had cast the last of the hexagram's six lines. In the same operation, the user could then choose among different options that allow 1) to obtain the answer received in another format or on another platform, or 2) to send the answer received to a third-party on the same platform or on another platform, or 3) to store and manage information about the consultation.

Title: Engine head cover structure
Inventor: RYU YASUTAKE
IPC: F01L1/02
Filed: 2001-10-29
Abstract: An engine head cover structure has a head cover joined to the upper end of a cylinder head so as to define a valve operation chamber therebetween. The head cover includes therein an oil recovery chamber to which oil resided in the valve operation chamber is recovered by suction and a breather chamber that removes blowby gas from the valve operation chamber being provided in the head cover. The breather chamber is defined between a partition plate mounted on an inner wall of the head cover via clips and a surface of the roof of the head cover, and the oil recovery chamber is defined between the partition plate and a partition body welded thereto. It is thus possible to form the oil recovery chamber and the breather chamber without splitting the roof of the head cover, thereby making inspection of the joint for oil tightness unnecessary.

Title: Drop table attachment for sheet feeding machine
Inventor: VEDOY ARILD
IPC: B65H31/38
Filed: 2001-11-02
Abstract: A drop table is used for accumulating a desired number of sheets of items in a bundle and then dropping the bundle onto a conveyor belt. The drop table has a plurality of rods acting as a floor in a collection box. When the drop table receives a signal from a sheet feeder that the number of items desired is in the bundle the rods are withdrawn from beneath the collection box and the bundle drops to a conveyor belt. The rods are then moved back into position for receiving more sheets to form another bundle and the drop table signals the sheet feeding machine to send more sheets to the collection box. The collection box may have a vibrating jogger to align the sheets into a squared bundle on one axis and a tamping foot to align the sheets into a squared bundle on a second axis. The drop table can accumulate sheets in a squared bundle quickly without jamming and release the bundle onto a conveyor below the collection box.

Patent CA-2378107-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FENGLER KEVIN A
IPC: C07K14/415
Filed: 2000-07-24
Abstract: The cell death response known as the hypersensitive response (HR) is a centr al feature of gene-for-gene plant disease resistance. Plants also defend agains t pathogens via multigenically controlled broad-spectrum defense responses, su ch as those modulated by salicylic acid. The DND(Defense, No Death) loci of Arabidopsis thalianaregulate the extent of broad-spectrum disease resistance against a broad range of viral, bacterial, oomycete and fungal pathogens. Plants lacking a functional copy of the DND1or 2 gene are defective in HR cell death but exhibit successful gene-for-gene disease resistance. Plants lacking a functional copy of the DND1or 2gene also exhibit an enhanced broad-spectrum disease resistance phenotype. The DND1and 2gene products are identical to previously known cDNAs termed AtCNGC2and 1, respectively, that encode apparent cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel proteins. The identification of the CNGC/DNDgenes as regulators of disease resistance and host cell death, and the availability of CNGC/DNDgene sequence information, provide new possibilities for controlling a wide varie ty of plant diseases.
