Title: Method and apparatus for permanent hair removal
Inventor: QUON WANDA A
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 1998-12-10
Abstract: A permanent hair removal method includes the steps of preparing the surface of the skin, including the removal of excess hair and the application of suitable cleansers and degreasers. Alkaline ions, in a gel, cream, ointment or solution containing a buffered solution of potassium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate are applied to the clean, prepared surface, Apparatus using massage, ultrasound or other treatment modalities, promotes the penetration of the alkaline ions into the skin and hair follicles. The alkaline ions are then heated in situ through the use of a radiant energy source apparatus such as, for example, a laser, an infrared lamp or other high intensity light source. Radiant energy can also be provided by microwave or diathermy sources. The heated alkaline ions will then destroy all hair cells that are encountered.

Patent CA-2324837-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILFONG GORDON THOMAS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: Routing information is exchanged between edge routers in different autonomous systems that independently define their routing policies. A Simple Path Vector Protocol extends the prior art Border Gateway Protocol in a manner that is guaranteed to converge by adding a new attribute to the routing messages sent by an edge router to its peers in the different systems. This attribute is a path history, which is dynamically computed at each router as the routing path to a particular destination is changed. The path history attribute is sent in a routing message by a router to its peers together with the sending router's path to that destination. By observing the dynamic path history that is computed at a router as a received routing message from a peer router that contains a history attribute is processed, a cycle can be identified in the newly computed history and associated with a policy conflict at that receiving router's associated autonomous system. A path whose history contains a cycle is automatically suppressed as a permitted path to that destination.

Abstract: Computer-assisted auscultation of knee joints by auditory display of vibroarthrographic signals emitted during active movement of the leg include audification and sonification. In audification, the vibroarthrographic signals are scaled in time and frequency using a time-frequency distribution to facilitate aural analysis. In sonification, the instantaneous mean frequency and envelope of the vibroarthrographic signals are derived and used to synthesize sounds that may facilitate more accurate diagnosis than the original signals by improving their aural quality.

Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: An operation and maintenance control point (OMCP) (31) operates at an intermediate level in a telecommunications network between the network elements (32) and the network management system (NMS) (21). The OMCP reduces the processing load on the NMS, and rather than reporting symptoms, provides the NMS with suggested corrective (49) actions to correct reported problems.  The NMS executes the suggested corrective actions and compares the actual results (52) in the network with predicted results. Feedback on the results is then provided to the OMCP to improve its analysis and provide more effective corrective actions are suggested if the problem recurs. By automatically interfacing with the NMS, which analyzes and executes the suggested corrective actions, the OMCP creates a self-engineering telecommunications network.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making flavorful, organoleptically pleasing natural cheese containing a significant level of a calcium supplement. More specifically, the calcium supplement is a mixture of calcium sulfate and tricalcium phosphate. By using a mixture of calcium sulfate and tricalcium phosphate the bitterness normally associated with calcium sulfate and the graininess normally associated with tricalcium phosphate are surprisingly essentially eliminated. The use of these particular calcium sources allows for significant levels of calcium to be incorporated without requiring excessive levels of the calcium compounds. The calcium supplements of the present invention can be used in, for example, cottage cheese, process cheese, and natural cheeses such as, for example, Cheddar cheese, Colby cheese, Monterey Jack, Havarti cheese, Muenster cheese, Brick cheese, Gouda cheese, Mozzarella cheese, and mixtures thereof.
