Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reductive dehalogenation of halogen-organic substances which can be used in solid or liquid mixtures of substances. When the parameters of the inventive method are correspondingly adapted, liquids and halogen-organic contaminated soils can be mechanically treated and consequently reductively dehalogenated by applying mechanical energy and adding elementary alkali metal, earth-alkaline metal, aluminum or iron as a reducing agent and at least one reactant with slightly activated hydrogen as a hydrogen source.

Patent CA-2309436-A1 (CA)
Title: Laser wavelength control device
Inventor: MIZRAHI VICTOR
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: A laser control system is disclosed including a microprocessor, which precisely adjusts the wavelength of light ouput from the laser (118) by monitoring the transmissivity of an in-fiber Bragg grating (124) coupled to the output of the laser. The Bragg grating is fabricated to have a minimum transmissivity at the desired output wavelength of the laser. The microprocessor continually adjusts the wavelength of the laser output to obtain substantially minimal transmissivity through the grating. At which point, the laser is locked to the desired wavelength. Alternatively, the microprocessor can monitor light reflected from the grating, and continually adjust the wavelength of the laser output to lock the laser at a wavelength providing substantially maximum reflectance by the grating. Use in an optoelectronic wavelength converter.

Title: Methods and apparatus for enhanced soft handoff in a cdma wireless communication system
Inventor: WU I-FONG ANTONIO
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: Soft handoffs in an IS-95 CDMA system or other wireless communication system are controlled using an enhanced set of soft handoff parameters which allow the system to adapt more readily to changing radio frequency (RF) conditions. In an illustrative embodiment, values for particular ones of the soft handoff parameters are selected in accordance with a set of rules, including rules such as, e.g., select the minimum value of add threshold among the members of an active set of pilots for a given mobile station; select the maximum value of drop threshold among the members of the active set; select the minimum value of drop threshold timer among the members of the active set; and select the minimum value of comparison threshold among the members of the active set. A quality measure is then determined for each of the members of the active set, based on one or more of the selected soft handoff parameter values and values of one or more additional parameters, e.g., add intercept, drop intercept and slope parameters, associated with those members. Particular values of the additional parameters are then selected based on the quality measures. The selected parameter values are then utilized in a soft handoff process, e.g., in a soft handoff process in which the given mobile station is directed to handoff from a primary base station to another base station of the system.

Filed: 1998-12-22
Abstract: The properties of dough or bread can be improved by the addition of a carbohydrate oxidase which can oxidise the reducing end of an oligosaccharide more efficiently than the corresponding monosaccharide, e.g., preferentially oxidizing maltodextrins or cellodextrins over glucose. A novel carbohydrate oxidase having the capability to oxidize maltodextrins and cellodextrins more efficiently than glucose may be obtained from a strain of Microdochium, particulary M. nivale. The amino acid sequence of the novel carbohydrate oxidase has very low homology (20 % identity) with known amino acid sequences.

Title: Power adjustment size indicator for a door closer
Inventor: BISHOP ARTHUR
IPC: E05F3/10
Filed: 2000-09-26
Abstract: A gear driven dial indicator is used to indicate the door closer size for a door closer having an adjustable closing force. A drive gear is attached to the door closer adjustment screw. In the preferred embodiment, this drive gear engages a ring gear which is formed as part of the dial indicator. As the door closer adjustment screw is turned to change the door closer size, the drive gear turns with the adjustment screw. The drive gear then turns the planetary gear which turns the dial indicator, thereby changing the indicated size of the door closer.

Patent CA-2322153-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus and method for predictive time stamping of isochronous data packets
Inventor: SHIMA HISATO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1999-03-05
Abstract: In order to predictively time stamp isochronous data packets transmitted over an IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus network, an application, which is to send a stream of isochronous data packets to a receiving node, first transmits a number of dummy frames each consisting of a number of packets. Preferably, these isochronous data packets make up frames of video data. From these dummy packets, the application obtains the time stamp values within the common isochronous packet (CIP) header of each packet. Using these obtained time stamp values, the application calculates a presentation time value for each data frame to be transmitted. The obtained time stamp value from a transmitted video frame is used to calculate the presentation time for a video frame which is a number of frames ahead within the transmit queue. Once the presentation time value for a frame is calculated, that value is then inserted by the application into the CIP header for the first packet within that frame and the frame is sent to the transmit queue for transmission to the receiving node over the IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus network.

Patent CA-2329540-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RATTAN PAWAN K
IPC: G06Q50/22
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: A patient-centric method for objectively evaluating the quality and value of health care received by the patient during a medical encounter by the patient with a health care professional. The patient transmits the medical chart data and cost data from the medical encounter to an independent evaluation center and requests the independent evaluation center to review and analyze the medical encounter. An objective evaluation of the medical chart data and the cost data is conducted by the independent evaluation center by reviewing and analyzing the medical chart data and the cost data based on a series of objective questions.  The independent evaluation center generates a report which provides an objective evaluation of the quality and value of care received by the patient for that particular medical encounter.  The report is then transmitted to the patient, thereby providing the patient with an objective evaluation on the medical encounter with the health care professional.
Patent CA-2330830-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PERRI JOE
IPC: B60Q1/44
Filed: 2001-01-18
Abstract: In all motor vehicles there is an operating red brake light safety system.  This existing system is not always effective at notifying others of the slowing down and/or stopping action of a motor vehicle.   With the proper use of this invention, the problems of unclear distinction of a motor vehicle that is in the process of slowing down and/or stopping, are minimized. This invention, which is a "coloured light" other than the standard "red light" (and including any resemblance of) motor vehicle safety brake light system, will enable the clear distinction of a motor vehicle that is in the slowing down and/or stopping process. As a motor vehicle operator applies pressure to the brake pedal, the new "coloured light" motor vehicle safety brake light system is activated. Once activated, the coloured light that is located on the rear face of the motor vehicle illuminates allowing all within visible range to be distinctly aware of the slowing down and/or stopping action of that particular motor vehicle. In summary this new invention will act as a great contributor to the prevention of many accidents in which damage to private and public property occurs. as well it will contribute to the prevention of many accidents in which human injuries and deaths occur.
