Patent CA-2456339-A1 (CA)
Title: Declarative sequenced report parameterization
Inventor: WELCKER BRIAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-01-28
Abstract: User values and selections are collected and provided to a report server that customizes a generically defined report pursuant to the user values and selections. An ordered set of report parameters is declared in the definition of a report and then this parameter definition is used to drive user prompting and execution of the report. As parameter values are collected in sequence order, a value retrieved or specified by the user for one parameter may be used to generate the set of the allowed values or default value of a parameter later in the sequence.  Parameters are dynamically presented to the user. After values for all parameters been retrieved or specified, a report is generated by the report server.

Patent CA-2459179-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JENSEN LARRY R
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2002-03-13
Abstract: There is provided a method for attempting to reset a host or hub connected via a USB bus to a remote device. A routine in the firmware of the remote device monitors the USB bus to detect an unannounced and unanticipated SUSPEND state on the bus. When such a SUSPEND state is detected, a firmware routine forces a disconnect of the peripheral device from the USB bus by dropping the D+  signal. After a predetermined time, D+ is again presented to the bus and the host reconnects the remote device and reestablishes communication with the device. Such an unintended SUSPEND state may be caused by problems such as noise on the bus. Because typically no permanent hardware failure has taken place, the re-attachment process initiated by the remote device again presenting D+ usually resets the host or hub.

Inventor: KAISER HERBERT J
IPC: C11D3/04
Filed: 2002-10-04
Abstract: A surface which carries a material which is infected with prions is cleaned with an alkaline cleaning solution to remove as much proteinaceous material as possible from the surface. The solution contains an alkaline cleaning agent which attacks prions remaining on the surface and which attacks prions removed from the surface during the cleaning step. After the cleaning step, the surface is exposed to a strong gaseous oxidant, preferably hydrogen peroxide vapor. The hydrogen peroxide or other strong oxidant attacks the prions, particularly the unclumped prion strands, deactivating the prions.

Abstract: A mobile pavement marking removal apparatus comprises a housing with a hollow interior and a bottom opening for permitting an abrasive media to be impacted onto a surface. The housing is mounted onto the vehicle such that the open bottom of the housing is adjacent the surface. A nozzle holder on the housing holds two nozzles aimed at the bottom opening of the housing to cause a blast of abrasive media to pass through the bottom opening and impact on the surface. The nozzles are connected in fluid communication by a supply hose to a source of abrasive media delivered by a stream of compressed air. An outlet in the housing permits recovery of the abrasive media and removed paint from the interior of the housing after the abrasive media has impacted the surface. A return hose carries the abrasive media and removed paint to a storage receptacle on the vehicle.

Patent CA-2483175-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITE BARTON J
IPC: B65H29/66
Filed: 2004-09-30
Abstract: A mechanism for offsetting or overlapping successive sheets of material in an interfolding machine includes a bed roll rotating at a first speed and a retard roll rotating at a slower, second speed and positioned adjacent the bed roll. As successive sheets are transferred from the bed roll to the retard roll, the sheets are engaged by a nip roller assembly positioned adjacent the retard roll and forming a nip through which the sheets pass. The retard roller forms a deflection or bubble in the individual sheet passing through the nip, which enables a successive sheet to be positioned beneath the previous sheet, thereby forming the overlap of the successive sheet with the previous sheet.

Title: Searching structured, semi-structured, and unstructured content
Inventor: SUBBAROYAN RAM
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-05-14
Abstract: A search and retrieval permits a user to search free text within sections of schema independent documents. The documents, which may include structured (Fig. 1, item 120), semi-structured (Fig. 1, item 130), and unstructured documents (Fig. 1, item 140), contain text organized into a plurality of sections, such as XML tags (Fig. 3a). The repository of documents is schema independent, such that the search system does not require pre-defined fields for the sections. To execute a search, the search system receives a query that specifies at least one section and at least one free text query construct for text within the section (Fig. 5, item 1210-1290). In general, the free text query construct specifies at least one free search condition. The search system identifies sections in the repository of documents as specified in the query, and evaluates the free text query construct for the text within sections to determine whether the free text search condition is met.

Title: Communication system, data processing control method, server, and data processing control program
Inventor: TAKAHARA KOUICHI
IPC: H04W4/16
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: The objective is to offer increased flexibility in allocation of telephone numbers and achieve liberation from the restrictions on the total number of dial-in numbers. When at a server a receiver receives request information from a cellular phone as a requestor (S01), a subaddress recognizer recognizes a subaddress included in the received request information (S02) and an address converter converts the recognized subaddress to an IP address on the basis of predetermined conversion correspondence information (S03). Then a data retriever retrieves content data correlated with the IP address obtained by the conversion, from a service DB (S04) and a data output part outputs the content data to the requestor cellular phone (S05). The use of subaddresses attached to telephone numbers increases the number of numbers that can be allocated, and thereby achieves the liberation from the restrictions on the total number of dial-in numbers, and a service provider is allowed to allocate subaddresses at the discretion thereof, which offers increased flexibility in allocation of numbers.
