Title: Auto-illumination des diamants et des pierres precieuses
Inventor: EL-HARRACHE OMAR
IPC: F21V33/00
Filed: 2004-03-22
Abstract: Les joailliers, qui réalisent les bijoux, et les lapidaires, qui taillent les diamants et les pierres précieuses, conçoivent leurs modèles de manière à faire passer le plus possible la lumière à travers ces diamants et ces pierres précieuses. En effet, la lumière permet de faire briller les diamants et les pierres précieuses et rend les bijoux plus éblouissants et plus jolis. D'ailleurs, c'est pour cela que les concepteurs prévoient une ou plusieurs ouvertures du côté inférieur des bijoux afin d'y faire passer la lumière à travers (figure I).

Patent CA-2468622-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for registering and enabling pki functionalities
Inventor: SANDBERG LEIF
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2002-11-26
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of registering and activation of PK I functionalities in SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards by preprinting a number of sealed envelopes each containing an activation code hidden when unopened and a reference number or code visibly printed on the envelope. The reference number or code and the associated activation code of each envelope are stored in a table in a security server being integrated in or connected to the PKI. The user is provided one of the sealed envelopes together with an application form. The user is requested to fill in the reference code or number on the application form together with personal data, and this is transferred to the PKI and the security server. When the registration is approved by the PKI, approval information is transmitted to the user, requesting him to enter the activation code in his terminal. Simultaneously, the activation code associated with the reference code or number in the tabl e and a Smart Card identity corresponding to the Smart Card of the user, are provided to an Activation Module in the PKI. Upon entering of the activation code in the terminal, the activation code together with the Smart Card identity is transmitted from the terminal to the Activation Module. Upon receipt of the activation code and the Smart Card identity, the Activation Module determines if the received activation code and Smart Card identity match those previously provided by the security server, and if so, the Activation Module executes the necessary procedure for enabling the PKI part of the Smart Card.

Title: Automated security management
Inventor: YOUNG CARL
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2003-02-10
Abstract: A computerized method and system for managing security risk, where risk associated with a breach of security is analyzed and quantified according to weighted risk variables. The analysis is accomplished by a computerized security risk management system (104) that receives information relating to physical, informational(108), communication and surveillance risk, and structures the information such that it can be related to risk variables and a security risk level can be calculated according to a relevance of associated risk variables. The security risk level(105) can be indicative of a likelihood that a breach of security may occur relating to a particular transaction (101) or facility. Similarly, a security confidence level can be indicative of how secure a particular facility or practice is and a security maintenance level can be indicative of a level of security (105) that should be maintained in relation to an analyzed subject.

Patent CA-2477457-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SATER NEIL D
IPC: G10L13/02
Filed: 2003-02-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (100) and method for customizing media (e.g., songs, text, books, stories, video, audio...) via a computer network, such as the Internet. A system (100) in accordance with the invention includes a component (110) that provides for a user to search for and select media (132) to be customized. A customization component receives data relating to modifying the selected media and generates a customized version of the media incorporating the received modification data. A distribution component delivers the customized media to the user. The present invention solves a unique problem in the current art by enabling a user to alter media (132) in order to customize the media (132) for a particular subject or recipient. This is advantageous in that the user need not have any singing ability for example and is not required to purchase any additional peripheral computer accessories to utilize the present invention. Thus, customization of media (132) can occur for example via recording an audio track of customized lyrics or by textually manipulation of the lyrics and/or graphics. In achieving this goal, the present invention utilizes client/server architecture such as is commonly used for transmitting information over a computer network such as the Internet.

Filed: 2003-05-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de génération efficace de couleurs. Dans un mode de réalisation, on peut recevoir un signal de départ d'un sous-cycle de couleur principale. Une source lumineuse principale utilisée pour conduire la couleur principale peut être activée si le tampon de la couleur principale contient des données. La principale source lumineuse peut être désactivée pendant le sous-cycle de couleur principale en l'absence de données dans le tampon de la couleur principale. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un signal de grande amplitude d'une des couleurs principales peut être normalisé. On peut ajuster l'intensité d'une source lumineuse de commande au pourcentage d'une intensité maximale, où le pourcentage correspond à un contenu de la couleur principale normalisée dans une trame. L'amplitude de toutes les couleurs principales sauf des couleurs normalisées peut être ajustée proportionnellement. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, une intensité maximale de l'intensité de la source lumineuse peut être réglée à une première valeur. Une intensité pixel maximale de chacun des pixels peut être réglée à une deuxième valeur. L'intensité maximale de l'intensité de la source lumineuse peut être ajustée par la première valeur divisée par la deuxième valeur. Une amplitude de chaque pixel peut être ajustée par la deuxième valeur divisée par la première valeur.

Title: Mobile slurrying and cleaning system for residual oil contaminated sand
Inventor: SAIK LARRY
IPC: B03B9/02
Filed: 2004-11-23
Abstract: A mobile chemical mixing and injection unit adapted for use during the extraction of an oil/water sand slurry from an oil field storage tank wherein said tank has a body of accumulated sand therein. The unit comprises a motorized truck body having a flat bed with a water storage tank and two mixing tanks mounted thereto. A high pressure injection pump pumps water from the water storage tank to the oil field storage tank and creates a slurry. The slurry is pumped to an adjacent settlement tank hopper where the oil, water and sand will stratify. An effective amount of a flocculating agent, coagulating and surfactant are mixed in each of the water filled mixing tanks and then pumped into the slurry to facilitate separation of oil, sand and water. The high pressure injection water and the water for the mixing tanks are replenished by pumping water from the settlement tank hopper thereby ensuring a continuous process until the field storage tank is cleaned.
