Patent CA-2239358-A1 (CA)
Title: System for automated patient discharge planning
Inventor: HELMINK JAMES E
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: A system and method for automated patient discharge planning is disclosed.  Using the present invention, a primary care facility discharge planner may use an automated procedure to place a patient in a secondary care facility anywhere in the United States regardless of the target location. The system comprises computers (10, 12), local and wide area network connections (14, 18), and application programs for accessing local and national databases (16, 20) containing information regarding secondary care facilities located throughout the United States. The method comprises the steps of entering a target location (30), determining whether a local or national database is to be searched (32), locating candidate secondary facility records (34) and transmitting patient information to select candidate facilities (38, 42).  Reduced reliance on manual placement procedures results in significant cost savings due to a reduction in the patient's length of stay in the primary care facility.

Light emitted from the chemiluminescent composition (22) induces the curing of the impression material (18) in a uniform manner along the length of the channel (16, 16b, 16c).
Patent CA-2247683-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of an apparatus for virtual link management
Inventor: FISHER DAVID ANTHONY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-09-17
Abstract: Novel traffic management schemes of a telecommunications network using the concept of virtual links is disclosed. As an example, if a switch connects via a high bandwidth link to an access mux that drives lower bandwidth links. The mux is a potential congestion point in the downstream direction (from high to low bandwidth links) because traffic can arrive at a greater rate over the high bandwidth link than it can exit through the lower bandwidth link. If all of the traffic destined for a particular low bandwidth link can be organized into a unique virtual link. This virtual link can be scheduled at a maximum rate not exceeding the bandwidth of the low bandwidth link, thus preventing the mux from ever becoming a congestion point. Therefore, the amount of mux buffering can be reduced to a very small amount (for jitter absorption). One advantage of this scheme in this example is potentially large cost reductions in the high volume access mux at the lesser expense of a more complex low volume switch.

Title: Chromosomal rearrangement by insertion of two recombination substrates
Inventor: SU HONG
IPC: C12N15/90
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: The present invention involves the creation of defined chromosomal deficiencies, inversions and duplications using Cre recombinase in ES cells transmitted into the mouse germ line. These chromosomal reconstructions can extend up to 3-4 cM. Chromosomal rearrangements are the major cause of inherited human disease and fetal loss. Additionally, translocations and deletions are recognized as major genetic changes that are causally involved in neoplasia. Chromosomal variants such as deletions and inversions are exploited commonly as genetic tools in organisms such as Drosophila. Mice with defined regions of segmental haploidy are useful for genetic screening and allow accurate models of human chromosomal diseases to be generated.

Patent CA-2269969-A1 (CA)
Title: Hot-fill bottle with reinforced hoops
Inventor: AHERN MARTIN E
IPC: B65D1/02
Filed: 1999-04-26
Abstract: The invention provides a novel hot fill plastic container with reinforced bands above and below the vacuum panels to prevent panelling (or crease formation under vacuum after cooling) in the label supporting band area. The container has a substantially cylindrical recessed label supporting portion with multiple circumferentially spaced apart vacuum panels. Each panel includes a flat radially recessed central panel face which collapses radially inwardly under vacuum to reduce the volume of the container during cooling of the contents. A like multiple number of elongate posts are defined between the panels and generally reinforce the panel area, however, the top and bottom ends of the posts must be supported or else creases will form in these areas under vacuum. Accordingly, the invention provides for top and bottom cylindrical bands defining the axial upper and lower extent of the panels and posts. The bands include two or more axially spaced apart circumferential hoop ribs, and each rib is composed of recessed rib sections to interrupt the circumferential hoop rib. Each section in axial progression overlaps the adjacent sections of adjacent ribs to prevent crease formation and propagation between rib sections in the otherwise cylindrical band.  Preferably, two or more ribs are distributed to substantially cover each band. Immediately adjacent the posts and panels, rib sections are disposed above and below each post since it has been found by experiment that the area of the bands most likely to develop creases are immediately above and below the posts.

Title: Laminated shingle
Inventor: QUARANTA JOSEPH
IPC: E04D1/26
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: This invention is directed to a multi-layer laminated shingle, wherein each shingle layer comprises granule and bituminous coated web, with the layers laminated together and with the butt zone of the base layer disposed against a bottom surface of the tab zone of the secondary layer and with the tab zone of the base layer disposed against the bottom surface of the butt zone of the secondary layer. The shingle lends itself to having tabs spaced by voids. Because the tabs in the base layer are inverted, the base layer's butt zone is visible through voids in the tabs of the secondary layer.        The method of making the shingle lends itself to complementally cutting out the tabs of two side-by-side shingles from a given line. Enhanced nailing area is provided, and stacking of shingles for packaging is facilitated.

Title: Heater coil mounting arrangement
Inventor: ST LOUIS ROBERT MAURICE
IPC: H05B3/16
Filed: 1999-05-27
Abstract: There is disclosed an arrangement for mounting a heating coil relative to a supporting wall of a clothes dryer heater housing. An insulator has a main body portion adapted to secure the heating coil relative thereto and a base portion adapted to be seated in fixed relation to the supporting wall. The base portion has first and second flanges which curve downwardly and outwardly from the insulator. The support wall has two raised tab members which are adapted to define between these tab members and the supporting wall a recessed channel for receiving the first flange of the insulator. The supporting wall further has two spaced apart guide members for engagement with opposite sides of the second flange of the base member to prevent relative lateral movement of the insulator. The supporting wall has a pivotably movable locking flange which is pivotable about a crease located between the two guide members. The locking flange has a hook adapted to move into engagement with the second flange of the insulator to prevent the insulator from being pulled away from the supporting wall surface.
