Title: Method and apparatus for generating personal identification numbers for use in consumer promotions
Inventor: BEACH KIRK W
IPC: G06Q20/38
Filed: 1997-02-14
Abstract: A system for generating authorization codes, such as personal identification numbers, at the point of distribution of certificates of value on which the authorization codes are to be printed or otherwise encoded. Because the authorization codes are generated in real time, there is no need to store and safeguard an inventory of preprinted certificates, or even an inventory of activated authorization codes. The principles of the invention apply both to systems for generating incentive award certificates and to systems for generating purchased certificates of value. The incentive awards or certificates of value are tokens of prepayment for a service, such as long-distance telephone service or other service. The authorization codes generated for inclusion with the value certificates are unique and seemingly random. They are generated by taking a non-random unique code, such as a sequence code, and encrypting it to obtain seemingly random, but unique, authorization codes. Because each authorization code is not generated until immediately prior to distribution of the certificate with which the code is associated, security and other problems pertaining to preprinted certificates and cards are eliminated.

Title: Method for detecting poor meat quality in groups of live animals
Inventor: TONG ALAN KWAI-WAH
IPC: A01K29/00
Filed: 1996-10-16
Abstract: The invention provides methods of detecting poor meat quality in live animals using infrared thermography. Animals from a group of live domestic animals such as cattle or swine are scanned to produce thermographic images. The images are then statistically analyzed to determine a measure of central tendency such as the mean temperature for each animal's image and for all of the images in the group. A measure of dispersion from the measure of central tendency, such as standard deviation is determined. Then, animals are rejected as having a high probability of producing poor meat quality if the measure of central tendency for that animal's temperature differs from the measure of central tendency for the group by more than 0.9 standard deviations. Alternatively a set percent of animals are rejected, preferably up to 20 %, these being animals whose measures of central tendency differ the most from the measure of central tendency for the group. When mean temperature is used as a measure of central tendency, the method is preferably practised by rejecting animals whose mean temperature differs from the group mean temperature by more than 1.28 times the standard deviation for the group. The method is particularly useful in detecting high probability of poor meat quality in groups of animals in an antemortem environment which have mean temperatures significantly above or below the normal surface temperatures for unstressed animals.

Patent CA-2240543-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and device for checking a sensor
Inventor: BROCH WALTER
IPC: G01D18/00
Filed: 1996-12-12
Abstract: The invention concerns a method of checking a sensor which generates an electrical measuring signal on the basis of a non-electrical physical value. To that end, a test valuator device is used which, when an electrical checking signal is applied, generates a non-electrical physical value which is of the same type as the physical value to be measured by the sensor. The test valuator device and the sensor are coupled to one another with respect to the physical value. The electrical checking signal and the electrical test signal are compared with each other. The test valuator device thus simulates a measuring operation of the sensor and the sensor is checked on the basis of its own physical measuring operation, which can be carried out over its entire measuring range.

Title: Hydrocarbon separation
Inventor: PERRY GRAHAM MICHAEL
IPC: C10G70/04
Filed: 1997-01-15
Abstract: A process for the separation of propylene from an input stream of C3 hydrocarbons containing propylene, possibly C4 and/or higher hydrocarbons, and MAPD (methyl acetylene and/or propadiene), comprises subjecting said input steam to fractional distillation to separate the propylene as an overhead stream leaving a bottoms stream containing said MAPD and any C4 and/or higher hydrocarbons. In order to avoid the need to slip substantial amounts of valuable propylene into the bottoms stream to maintain the concentration of MAPD in the bottoms stream at a safe level, a propane-containing stream is added to the input stream of C3 hydrocarbons so that the bottoms stream contains a substantial amount of propane. So that the propylene content of the bottoms stream can be maintained at below 10% by weight, the amount of propane added to the input stream is such that the weight of propane, plus any propylene and C4 and/or higher hydrocarbons, in said bottoms stream is greater than the total weight of MAPD in said bottoms stream.
