Title: News retriever and relevance tracker
Inventor: DEGTIAREV OLEG
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-07-04
Abstract: For people using Internet as a news research tool, sorting out the results of a search is the most time-consuming problem. The existing methods of searching the Internet resources do not provide enough accuracy and intelligence and are not user-friendly as usually, they require spending significant amount of time on "digging" through the search results in order to select the closest match. The conventional methods are also not able to separate the news proper from non-news information that got into the search results. The proprietary technology allows to simplify the process of searching for a particular news set by automatically retrieving all new information from all related media sources that have outlets on the Internet. This also suggests filtering represented media organizations by location and sorting outcoming data flow by standard indexes and proprietary parameters.  Other factors relevant to the researcher may be applied as well in order to provide better search results. The suggested solution automatically rates every news event according to its importance and relevance based on a proprietary methodology. A special sorting method is applied against the incoming news event stream, in order to break it down to essential and non-essential information. User profiles are used as baseline for this process. The reports are produced in pseudo-real time. 24x7 listener is watching new events and updates the input stream constantly. User will be able to order customized reports that may include research made on the data warehouse of news accumulated since the date of the site going live. The technology allows user to receive rapidly high-quality news reports on any given subject giving immediate importance rating on every news event. The importance rate is automatically assigned to an event and based on the intensity and scale of coverage by the media outlets on the Internet. Rating weights will be displayed immediately next to headlines. People responsible for decision-making will embrace the technology because of its precision and ease in use. The service will be extremely useful for analysts, governmental organizations and professional associations as well as for regular Internet users, corporate or individuals. The tool has an incredible potential in reducing cost and time wasted for numerous media-monitoring and clipping services, and it will certainly become popular rapidly.

Patent CA-2324411-A1 (CA)
Title: A tyre pressure sensor and related alarm system
Inventor: SMITH TIMOTHY PHILIP
IPC: B60C23/04
Filed: 1999-02-23
Abstract: A tyre pressure sensor and related alarm system uses a sensor (100) which has a threaded collar (106) and is adapted to be connected to a valve of a tyre.  The sensor (100) includes a transducer (12) and a transmitter (9) hermetically sealed in a body. A depressor (104) located on the body, urges against a valve to open it. The body of the sensor (100) may be connected to the threaded collar (106) by way of a shearable collar (120). In use, when first connected to a tyre, the sensor (100) obtains an initial value of the tyre's pressure and stores this initial value. If the pressure of the tyre deviates by more than a predetermined amount from the initial value, for example ~ 15 %, then an alarm signal is transmitted to a receiver which is inside the vehicle. The alarm signal comprises a coded portion and an "id" portion. A (12) bit code is preferably used to ensure sufficient security and this provides approximately 65000 different "id" codes. The invention overcomes problems associated with existing systems, in that the sensor is mounted directly to a valve and it does not require calibrating.

Title: Composition and method of preparing microparticles of water-insoluble substances
Inventor: PACE GARY W
IPC: A61K9/14
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: Compositions and procedures that yield sub-micron and micron-size stable particles of water-insoluble or poorly soluble drugs or other industrially useful insoluble compounds are prepared using combinations of natural or synthetic phospholipids, a charged surface modifier such as a highly purified charged phospholipid and a block copolymer coated or adhered onto the surfaces of the water insoluble-compound particles. The combination of charged surface modifier and block copolymer allows the formation and stabilization of the sub-micron and micron size compound particles - stabilized by the charged phospholipid to provide electrostatic stabilization and the block copolymer to provide steric stabilization - and therefore prevents these particles from particle growth, aggregation or flocculation.

Patent CA-2342391-A1 (CA)
Title: Partial back pressure (pbp) transmission technique for atm-pon
Inventor: KIM KYEONG-SOO
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-03-28
Abstract: Efficient transmission and fairness guarantees for upstream traffic in ATM-PONs are achieved using a partial back pressure (PBP) technique for traffic generated from user network interface (UNI) cards, e.g. Ethernet UNI cards or other network interface cards for non-constant bit rate sources. The PBP technique utilizes a feedback flow control mechanism between priority queues and UNI cards in a customer-side interface device, e.g. an Optical Network Termination unit, to achieve improved transmission efficiency and fairness guarantees of incoming traffic. The peak upstream rate of the UNI cards is dynamically controlled based on feedback information from the interface device where a queue status monitor observes the traffic level in the priority queue. Upon reaching a designated threshold level in the priority queue, the status monitor triggers activation of rate controllers in the upstream output of the UNI cards. The rate controllers reduce the peak output of the UNI cards to a controlled peak rate.  Once the queue level is reduced beyond a second threshold level, the status monitor deactivates the rate controllers.
