Patent CA-2349083-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YUEN SIU CHUNG
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2001-05-30
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention separates raw server configuration data (data describing how the server is to operate - e.g., network port number, security settings, software drivers, etc.) from server instance data (data which describes where to run a server and how to process user code - e.g., which directories to access, where the user code is located, etc.). Embodiments of the present invention may have raw server configuration data and server instance data stored as, for example, text files. A file embodying raw server configuration data may be copied and reused on multiple computer systems. Similarly, a file embodying server instance data may also be copied and reused on multiple computer systems.  Embodiments of the present invention process the raw server configuration data file and the server instance file to generate an overall server configuration file which configures a server to operate in the desired manner so that user code can be successfully deployed on the configured server. The overall configuration file created may include server environment parameters that are required to initialize or start a server.

Title: Joint structure as reinforced rib to injecting frame of door leaf with glass
Inventor: WANG CHEN KUEI-YUNG
IPC: E06B3/58
Filed: 2001-11-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to the improvement on the assembly structure of door leaf with glass, and more particularly relates to the halving structure of two halving injected frames (having the same structure) with glass. The back-side circumferences of the halving injected frames with glass have a plurality of male tenons and female tenons which are disposed correspondingly each other top-to-bottom and left-to-right. By using the structures of male tenon and female tenon and the design of integrally surrounding reinforcing rib, the halving injected frame with glass has U-shape male tenon reinforcing rib and U-shape female tenon reinforcing rib to strengthen the strength of the having injected frame with glass;  therefore, two halving injected frames (having the same structure) with glass joint each other by male tenons and female tenons to fix a multiple-layer glass, which is then held on a door leaf to quickly assemble a door leaf with glass without the need of joint members such as screws. While the two halving injected frames (having the same structure) with glass joint each other to assemble and compose a door leaf with glass, each tenon rib of male tenons is tenoned into the tenon groove of a female tenon respectively to reach the first positioning effect; by a successive and further tenoning, the female tenon head of the female tenon is tenoned into the positioning groove of male tenon and the tenon nose of the male tenon is tenoned into the positioning groove of the female tenon to accomplish the second positioning and tenoning fix effect. Therefore, the male tenon and the female tenon of the halving injected frame with glass designed by the present invention not only have novelty in structure, but also have a duplex positioning effect.

Title: Flexible insert with stop limits for brush broom handles
Inventor: CASSAR SIMON R
IPC: A46B5/00
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: An attachment in which the flexible member is rectangular in shape and has limit stops which are affixed at a location between the handle and the head of a brush broom to provide a controlled flexible member at the junction where the handle is attached to the head. Through the use of the controlled flexible member being rectangular in shape, the handle maintains rigidity in the direction in which the brush broom head is moved but is flexible in the lateral direction and therefore can be bent at controlled angles relative to the head. Therefore, when the brush broom head comes in contact with a stationary object such as the leg of a table, the brush broom head will flex or flow around the object without damage to the broom head or object.

Abstract: A squeezable tube-shaped plastic container (10, 100) having a one-piece construction formed by extrusion blow-molding techniques. The container (10, 100) has a retractable end wall (26, 126), which is positionable into an outwardly projecting position and an inverted position. The end wall (26, 126), as blown, is in the outwardly projecting position and is thereafter inverted so that a tamper indicating covering (28, 128) can be attached to the end (14, 114) of the container (10, 100) thereby sealing the end wall (26, 126). The inverted end wall (26, 126) permits the container (10, 100) to be free standing on the standing ring (20, 120). In use, the flexible sidewall (12, 112) of the container (10, 100) is squeezed to snap the end wall (26, 126) from the inverted position to an outwardly projecting position to enable ready access to a dispensing opening (32, 132) on the end wall (26, 126). An efficient and cost effective method for forming the container (10, 100) and an intermediate article (44) formed during the method are also disclosed.

Title: Pose estimation method and apparatus
Inventor: ISHIYAMA RUI
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2002-08-09
Abstract: A three-dimensional image data is formulated and saved in a memory for indicating a three-dimensional shape of an object and reflectivity or color at every point of the object. For each of multiple pose candidates, an image space is created for representing brightness values of a set of two-dimensional images of the object which is placed in the same position and orientation as the each pose candidate. The brightness values are those which would be obtained if the object is illuminated under varying lighting conditions. For each pose candidate, an image candidate is detected within the image space using the 3D model data and a distance from the image candidate to an input image is determined. Corresponding to the image candidate whose distance is smallest, one of the pose candidates is selected. The image space is preferably created from each of a set of pose variants of each pose candidate.
