Title: Method and system for creating a virtual team environment
Inventor: GROSSNER CLIFFORD P
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2001-10-05
Abstract: A collaboration services suite is adapted to support a plurality of integrated telecommunications services accessed by geographically dispersed team members using a virtual team environment (VTE) client that generates a graphical user interface (GUI) for each of the respective team members. Communications sessions are automatically set up by the collaboration services suite in response to request messages generated by the VTE client when a team member initiates a communications session request using the GUI. Team members require no knowledge of another team member's communications device address in order to initiate a communications session. The collaboration services suite includes a VTE server that communicates with the VTE clients, a presence engine that collects and maintains a status of communications devices specified in a current profile of the team member; and, a call server for handling setup and control of a voice component of each communications session completed.

Abstract: A method for delivering electronic services in a personal area network (PAN) can include providing a kiosk in a publicly traversable area. The kiosk can be configured to deliver electronic services over short-range radio communications links to wireless devices in a personal area network (PAN). The kiosk also can be configured to communicate over an existing physical communications link medium. A PAN can be established in the publicly traversable area.  Electronic services can be selectably retrieved through the existing physical communications link medium into the kiosk. Finally, the retrieved selected electronic services can be delivered to wireless devices in the PAN over the short-range radio communications link. Notably, the step of establishing a PAN in the publicly traversable area can include establishing a BLUETOOTH-based PAN with wireless devices in the publicly traversable area. In addition, the step of providing a kiosk first can include retrofitting an existing kiosk both with a short-range radio frequency communications system; and with a host computing device for selectively retrieving electronic services over the existing physical communications link medium, and for delivering selected electronic services to the wireless devices in the PAN. Second, the retrofitted kiosk can be activated in the publicly traversable area.

Title: Composition and method for the production of planar structures, especially structures made of paper or cardboard
Inventor: LOKIETEK BRUNO
IPC: D21H11/14
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a novel composition for the production of planar structures, whereby said composition is based on a cationic amylaceous material and a sulphonated amylaceous material such as sulphocarboxylate. The composition can exist in the form of a pulverulent solid mixture or an aqueous suspension in which both amylaceous materials take the form of granules which are swollen or unswollen. Said composition can also exist in the form of an adhesive which can or cannot contain granular structures which are swollen or unswollen and/or complexes which associate both amylaceous materials. Said complexes flocculate and precipitate generally during the solubilization stage which can advantageously consist of a continuous or discontinuous curing stage. The use of said compositions and flocculated/precipitated complexes that they can contain allows planar structures, especially structures made of paper, cardboard or films, to be provided with physical characteristics that meet the needs of current usage in every way. Said compositions can be introduced into a fibrous mass either on one occasion or on a number of occasions at a rate of 2-12 wt. % (sec/sec) for internal treatment of paper.

Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un bloc-batterie plomb-acide pourvu d'un commutateur de fonctionnement commandé électroniquement monté en série sur la batterie. Un régulateur/contrôleur de tension est monté en série avec un commutateur marche/arrêt normalement ouvert aux bornes de la batterie, le régulateur commandant un modulateur d'impulsion progressif qui fournit un signal de commande de commutation au commutateur de fonctionnement. Le régulateur est commandé par programme de façon qu'une fraction de seconde après fermeture du commutateur marche/arrêt, le modulateur vienne fournir signal de commande de niveau de courant continu constant au commutateur de fonctionnement. Si la tension de la batterie vient à chuter en dessous d'un premier niveau pendant quelques secondes, le modulateur vient produire un signal de commande de commutation en modulation d'impulsions en durée modulation dont la largeur d'impulsion et le cycle de service décroissent progressivement jusqu'à l'ouverture permanente du commutateur de fonctionnement. Cette décroissance progressive de l'électricité fournie par la batterie se produit immédiatement après que la tension de la batterie soit passée en dessous d'un second niveau inférieur au premier niveau.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés permettant de régénérer, à l'intention d'un utilisateur, un secret fort à partir de la saisie d'un secret faible, tel qu'un mot de passe, grâce à des échanges de communication avec un groupe de serveurs indépendants. Chaque serveur détient une valeur de secret distincte (par exemple, des données serveur secrètes). Le secret fort est une fonction du secret faible de l'utilisateur et des données serveur secrètes, et un agresseur potentiel ne peut calculer le secret fort sans accéder et au secret faible de l'utilisateur, et aux données serveur secrètes. L'agresseur éventuel n'a qu'une mince possibilité de deviner le secret faible, même s'il a accès à tous les messages transmis au cours des processus de génération et de régénération plus à un sous-groupe (mais pas à tous) des données serveur secrètes. .

Title: Process for on-line monitoring of oxidation or degradation and processability of oil sand ore
Inventor: MIKULA RANDY
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2002-07-18
Abstract: The degree of degradation or oxidation of an oil sand ore feedstock is monitored by near infrared spectroscopy. A beam of near infrared radiation is directed onto the surface of oil sand ore, e.g. on a conveyor belt, to produce reflected radiation and distinctive spectral features are measured indicative of the degree of degradation or oxidation of the oil sand ore. These distinctive spectral features are selected from (a) recording a baseline spectrum shift with decreasing spectral intensity indicating increasing degradation or oxidation, (b) recording spectral peaks in the range 1150 to 1250 nm with said spectral peaks increasing with increasing degradation or oxidation, (c) recording spectral peaks in the range 1700 to 1800 nm with said spectral peaks decreasing with increasing degradation or oxidation and (d) recording spectral peaks in the range 1900 to 2000 nm with said spectral peaks increasing with increasing degradation or oxidation. The recorded spectral values are mathematically converted into signals for controlling operating conditions in an oil sand processing plant.

Title: Process of bulk filling
Inventor: XIA FRANK ZHISHI
IPC: B65B3/10
Filed: 2001-10-18
Abstract: A process of bulk filling containers which includes the steps of arranging a number of containers upside down in a tray (24) that has a raised peripheral lip (26).      This tray full of containers is then placed in a vacuum chamber (28) which is then evacuated to a predetermined level below atmospheric pressure. Liquid (36) is then introduced into the tray through a reservoir (38) and conduit (40) which penetrates the wall of the vacuum chamber and the vacuum within the chamber is gradually released at a rate that draws the liquid into the containers. At this point in the process unwanted liquid is rinsed away and the tray is removed from the chamber and turned right side up. The final step is to seal the top of the containers with an appropriate cap, barrier, tip or connection. A second embodiment adds a step to the process by positioning the containers upside down in a rack (74) and positioning the rack directly above the tray containing the liquid. The rack is then lowered until the container necks are immersed in the liquid. The level of liquid is maintained as above and the balance of the process is conducted the same as the preferred embodiment.
