Title: Article et indicateur de blanchissage pour empecher le transfert des colorants
Inventor: VAN BUSKIRK GREGORY
IPC: D06M13/00
Filed: 1996-02-22
Granted: 2003-06-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système qui, dans les applications de blanchissage, permet de supprimer le phénomène de libre circulation aléatoire et extérieure des colorants. On utilise un nouvel article à dosage unitaire qui peut circuler librement entre les articles à nettoyer. Cet article comporte un agent absorbant de colorants et un agent inhibiteur de transfert des colorants, que l'on introduit dans une liqueur de lavage au moyen d'une matrice support. L'agent absorbant reste associé à la matrice dans la liqueur d e lavage, tandis que l'agent inhibiteur passe de la matrice à la liqueur de lavage, dans laquelle il peut se répartir de manière uniforme. L'article selon l'invention permet à la fois d'empêcher que des colorants en circulation extérieure ne se redéposent sur d'autres articles en cours de lavage et d'indiquer que le processus de neutralisation en question a été engagé.
Patent CA-2212690-C (CA)
Title: Transfer port system
Inventor: KENDALL JOHN S
IPC: B65G49/00
Filed: 1997-08-11
Granted: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A transfer port system to allow material to transfer between two dockable sterile environments. Two doors provide access to the sterile environments. A peripheral flange frames one of the doors while another peripheral flange forms the opening to the other sterile environment. Doors connect to one another, when the sterile environments are docked, and then move as a unit into the one sterile environment in order to allow the material transfer. Outer and inner gaskets seal the sterile environments and with the peripheral flanges form an interface between the sterile environments during material transfer. The portions of the gaskets and peripheral flanges that were exposed to the unsterile ambient prior to docking are actively heated in order to maintain sterility during the time when the sterile environments are docked and prior to the time that the doors are moved to the open position. The doors can be connected to one another prior to their opening by vacuum. The vacuum has an added benefit of drawing contaminants from between the doors.

Abstract: A packet data communication system includes a control station and a plurality of mobile terminals that communicate on demand with the control station over a wireless link. The control station has a data port for receiving data packets destined for the terminals, an arrangement for generating a plurality of data channels for carrying the data packets, and an arrangement for assigning the data packets destined for a particular terminal to one or more of the data channels. A control channel carries control information pertaining to the data channels. The channels are transmitted to the mobile terminals as an r.f. signal. The terminals have a receiver for receiving the r.f. signal, an analog-to-digital converter for digitizing the received signal, and a buffer for storing the digitized received signal. The terminals continually monitor the control channel to extract control information. The stored signal is processed to extract packet data destined for the terminal from one or more of the data channels in response to control information received on the control channel.

Title: Concurrent patch to logical partition manager of a logically partitioned system
Inventor: KUBALA JEFFREY P
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1998-05-14
Granted: 2002-03-26
Abstract: A method of replacing a current version of a program module with a replacement version of the module concurrently with the execution of the program on a computer system.  While execution of  the  program  is  suspended,  each  address  reference  in  the program to an entry point within the current version of  the module is replaced with an address reference to the corresponding entry point within the replacement version of the module.  After the address references have been replaced and before execution is resumed,  a patch initialization routine is invoked to perform initialization  functions  such  as  storage  allocation,  table initialization and feature detection that are performed before execution of the concurrently applied patch.   Execution of the program is resumed when each address reference to the current module has been replaced with one to the replacement module and the patch  initialization routine  has  been performed.   A bit vector is used to ensure that each initialization function is performed  only  once  per  instantiation  of  the  program  being patched.   An available   storage value indicates the amount of initially allocated storage remaining available after performing an initialization function involving storage allocation.

Title: Multi-cycle loop injection for trace analysis by ion chromatography apparatus and method
Inventor: REY MARIA A
IPC: G01N30/96
Filed: 1996-12-17
Granted: 2002-11-19
Abstract: An ion chromatographic apparatus and method for on-column preconcentration of trace ionic contaminants for quantitative trace analysis by ion chromatography. The method includes the multi-cycle, sequential steps of loading and purging of sample solution into and out of a sample injection loop (26) to cumulatively pre-concentrate a separator column (30) with a cumulative amount of sample. Each purging step includes directing pressurized liquid, at a substantially constant rate and for a predetermined period of time to the sample injection loop (26), to drive up to about 98 %  of the known volume of the sample solution from the sample injection loop (26). In turn, this flushed volume of sample solution passes through an ion exchange resin column (30) for concentration of the trace ionic contaminants in the resin.

Patent CA-2291293-C (CA)

IPC: H01R12/55

Granted: 2004-06-29
Abstract: An improved modular telephone-style jack featuring a guidance system positioned on the lower outer wall so that the guidance system maintains the position of the surface mount solder tails of the contacts of the jack in a controlled fashion. The guidance system consis ts of a series of substantially linear, parallel ridges which extend outward from the outer wa ll so that the peak of each ridge is in contact with or immediately adjacent the upper surface of a printed circuit board. The peak of each ridge extends along the upper surface of the printed circui t board for a length that is greater than the length of the solder tail to provide alignment of each solder tail with its corresponding solder paste connection area. Each ridge prevents any solder tail from pivoting such that it could accidentally make contact with either neighboring solder tail. Each ridge further prevents the distance separating neighboring contacts from being reduced to such a small distance that solder could bridge across both contacts. This substantially reduces the risk of an electrical short between two separate signal paths which would render the soldered board unusable with a resultant high scrap cost with the loss of all soldered components. The peak of each ridge further serves to prevent migration and wicking of th e solder paste for two separate circuits from joining to each other, thereby shorting the electrical connection between the two separate signal paths. This condition would also render the board unusable. The combination of features of the guidance system allows the solder tails t o be formed so that no portion of the solder tail extends beyond the rear wall of the jack. This reverse gull wing configuration of the solder tail provides significant protection of the sold er tails as a result of being located entirety under the lower wall of the jack so that the solder tails are not exposed to bending or twisting as normally occurs with j type or gull wing type solder tails or with other solder tail types which extend beyond the main rear wall of the jack.</SDOAB >
