Patent CA-2580626-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOYER LEMOYNE
IPC: F04B17/00
Filed: 2005-09-16
Abstract: Rod Float Mitigation (RFM) methods for rod-pumped oil wells having a variable frequency drive which controls the speed of the motor for the pump. Each method monitors rod loads or a similar condition and takes action only when rod load drops below a predefined minimum load. A first method reduces the speed of the motor to a preset level. A second method fixes the torque level on the pump downstroke by adjusting motor speed based on a calculated gearbox torque compared to a programmed fixed limit. Another method includes a program in the variable frequency drive which includes a preferred RFM Torque Curve for the pump to follow on its downstroke. When rod float occurs, the program monitors gearbox torque and adjusts the speed to follow the predetermined RFM  Torque Curve thereby mitigating rod float with minimum decrease in production.

Title: Delivery of data including preloaded advertising data
Inventor: DIMITRIADIS DIMITRI
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 1995-09-14
Abstract: Advertising information (28) is preloaded (22, 26) into a collection of remote receiving (42) and presentation devices (40).  A presentation command delivered to the device then causes presentation of the stored advertisement. Each stored advertisement is also associated with one or more presentation conditions causing, when detected, automatic presentation. Such presentation conditions include proximity to a given location (14, 52), scheduled periodic presentation, time of day presentation, and a variety of other conditions detectable at the remote presentation device.  The illustrated method and apparatus for advertising presentation requires but a single broadcast signal transmission (20) of a given advertisement, but provides multiple presentations of such advertisement at the presenting devices. In this manner, the presenter enjoys efficient use of broadcast signal transmission time.

Title: System and method for detecting ingress in a signal transmission system
Inventor: WALL WILLIAM E
IPC: H04H20/76
Filed: 2005-06-22
Abstract: A system and method for detecting ingress on shared media is presented. In one embodiment, among others, an input signal is selectively attenuated at each source site using a pseudo-random pattern, thereby amplitude modulating at low level the signal in a pseudo-random manner. Each encoded signal from each of the source sites is combined on shared media connected to a headend. The headend receives a composite signal comprising all of the individual source site signals and extracts the source site information using the pseudo-random pattern, thereby determining which of the source sites is the source of ingress.

Patent CA-2599323-A1 (CA)
Title: Envelope gum detection
Inventor: CLARK VERNER F JR
IPC: B31B70/00
Filed: 2007-08-29
Abstract: Two sensors and an Operator Interface are mounted on an envelope machine inline after the side seam gumming system. As the envelope under the sensors, they measure the luminance / reflectivity of a certain spot on the envelope where the side seam gum should be located. The reflectivity of the side seam gum will be different than that of the envelope paper. If the reflectivity measurement at that position is within the preset values in the device, the envelope is within the specification and nothing happens; the envelope continues through the machine. If the measurement does not meet the values in the device, the envelope is out of specification, and an output signal is returned. That output signal may be used for any purpose, but most commonly activates a red light, or marks the envelopes as defective.

Title: Rights management system for streamed multimedia content
Inventor: CHENG DAVID J
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2006-03-16
Abstract: To communicate requirements for a digital license from a receiver of corresponding digital content to a computing device upon which the digital content is to be rendered, the receiver tunes the content and locates within the content information relating to the requirements for the license, constructs the requirements from the located information, and sends such constructed requirements to the computing device. The computing device upon receiving the sent requirements constructs the license based on such received requirements, stores such constructed license in a license store of such computing device, and thereafter renders the content only in accordance with the license. Thus, the receiver need not communicate the license itself to the computing device.

Title: Imitation candle
Inventor: MCCAVIT KIM I
IPC: F21V3/00
Filed: 2002-08-09
Abstract: An imitation candle (10) is made from a translucent material (22) having light transmissive properties similar to paraffin. The translucent material (22) is shaped to appear reduced by burning. An LED (24), or similar high intensity light source, is set in a cavity (26) enclosed within translucent material (22). An amber colored LED (24) produces a light similar in color to candle light. The material (22) diffuses the light emitted from the LED (24) to create a warm, natural looking glow. A randomizing energization circuit (46) varies light emission levels from the LED (24) in a pseudo-random manner to simulate the flicker of candle light.

Abstract: The invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates displaying content-targeted advertisements within applications running on an end-user or client computer. To mitigate privacy concerns, one or more advertisements can be stored on a client computer. At least one advertisement can be displayed on the client based at least in part on the context relating to the user's interaction with the client. By doing so, the user's private data is not passed to the server - meanwhile content-targeted advertising processing can be run on the user's content to determine which advertisements to display.  Different forms of advertisements can be displayed to the user when the client is offline or online to facilitate optimizing use interaction with the advertisements and billing capabilities. To ensure that advertisements are displayed when content is displayed on a client, various encryption and decryption techniques can be employed to mitigate tampering of advertisement display code.
