Title: Laser cutting system
Inventor: TAIJONLAHTI JORMA
IPC: B23K26/10
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A laser cutting system has a specially designed frame that allows the laser cutting head to be mounted to the underside of a cross beam for a more efficient movement.  The frame is further designed so as to allow the accessing of the work area of the laser cutting system along three different directions. The movement of the laser cutting head for working a sheet placed in the work area of the laser cutting system is effected by a process that takes into consideration a number of parameters and determined data all of which are interpolated for generating optimal movements to further enhance the operating efficiency of the laser cutting system. The laser resonator of the laser cutting system of the instant invention is configured to have a telescopic system that maintains the density and power of the laser beam by auto focusing the same so that optimum cuts can be effected irrespective of whichever area of the worksheet is to be worked on. A special design worktable in the working area of the laser cutting system provides support for the worksheet.

Patent CA-2386154-A1 (CA)
Title: Device and method for application of radiation
Inventor: QUADE MICHAEL
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2000-09-28
Abstract: A photonic scanning and delivery system capable of controllable transmission of light energy to an irregularly shaped treatment area is disclosed. The desired uniformity (controllability) of light energy application is ensured by a tracking device, which monitors the position of the radiation applicator and thereby prevents over- or under-radiation. The system employs a light energy delivery hand-piece. By these means, structures in the lower dermis are irradiated. Because of the large size of the treatment area, damage to surface tissue is avoided. The hand-piece can operate while in contact with the treatment surface. Treatment surfaces include non-medical work sites.  Alternatively, the hand-piece can operate in a non-contact mode. The system can also be used in non-medical applications such as UV curing.

Title: Revetements pour airbags offrant une resistance thermique amelioree
Inventor: KOZLOWSKI DEREK S
IPC: B60R21/235
Filed: 2000-11-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des compositions de revêtement pour airbags comprenant des microsphères thermiquement dilatables conférant une isolation efficace à un tissu d'airbag cible lors d'un gonflement exothermique. Les tissus d'airbag de l'invention sont précalandrés avant l'application de cette composition ou revêtus au moyen d'un procédé faisant intervenir une râcle en l'air avec ces compositions contenant des microsphères à dilatation thermique. Les tissus et les coussins d'airbag revêtus peuvent alors être chauffés, d'où la dilatation des constituants microsphériques de ces compositions de revêtement à la fois dans les interstices séparant les fils individuels du tissu et sur les fils dressés dudit tissu. Par conséquent, ce système de revêtement offre une excellente protection contre l'exposition thermique, d'où l'intégrité structurale du coussin d'airbag cible, et permet de protéger un coussin destiné au passager d'un véhicule contre les températures de gonflement élevées lors d'un gonflement hautement exothermique de ce type. L'invention concerne également un procédé de formation de systèmes spécifiques de revêtement d'airbag sur des tissus d'airbag.

Title: Wet wipes container with improved closure
Inventor: STUDEE STEPHEN BERNARD
IPC: B65D83/08
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: A wet wipe container (20) having improved opening and improved tear resistan ce between the lid (24) and the base (22) among other features. The container includes a container base and a container lid that is connected to the container base. In one embodiment, the container lid has a guide ridge (50) that extends downward into the interior of the container. The guide ridge permits the container lid to be in a partially open position and provides better alignment between the container lid and the container base during closing of the container. In another embodiment, the container includes a closure that has an upwardly extending tongue projection (58), a flattened grip area (74) and an assistive region (78) to increase the ease with which the container can be opened. The invention also relates to a container havin g a more tear resistant container lid. The container lid has a hinge channel (64) of a primary thickness (67). The hinge channel has two end regions that  are of a secondary thickness (65) that is greater than the primary thickness . The increased thickness of the end regions resists the tearing that can occu r in the lid after repeated opening and closing of the container.

IPC: D06M13/00
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for making a viscous reaction product and making this into a solid or suspendable component, so that it can be incorporated in solid and liquid compositions such as cleaning compositions or for example fabric care compositions. The process comprises the steps of: a) reacting at least two compounds with one another to form a first active material to form a viscous mixed product which has a viscosity of at least 500 cps or even at least 1000 cps at 20 °C, thereby preferably mixing this with a second active material; b) mixing the product of step a) with a liquid carrier material, (which can then be suspended in a liquid composition); or if slid components are required, step b) being followed by: c) mixing the mixture of step b) with a solid granulation agent to form a solid component; d) optionally forming the solid component of step c) into granules. In particular, the process is for the production of fabric care components such as perfume components, or antimicrobial components.
Patent CA-2392654-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for extending calls to internal switch extensions out to external network endpoints
Inventor: MILTON STEPHEN M
IPC: H04M5/12
Filed: 2002-07-08
Abstract: A private branch exchange (PBX) or other communication system switch processes a call to determine if an identifier associated with the call has a corresponding entry in a stored list of external endpoints registered with the switch. The switch directs the call to an external port of the switch for delivery to a given one of the external endpoints if the identifier associated with the call has a corresponding entry in the stored list of external endpoints registered with the switch. The given external endpoint does not have a fixed external port assignment in the switch. Instead, the switch dynamically selects from a set of external ports an available external port over which the call is directed to the given external endpoint. The dynamic selection of the available external port may be implemented using an automatic route selection (ARS) algorithm. The switch in an illustrative embodiment directs the call to an external port of the switch via a loop-back arrangement implemented between port cards of the switch, e.g., a loop-back trunk between an output port associated with a first port card of the switch and an input port associated with a second port card of the switch. Advantageously, the registered external endpoint is treated by the switch as if it were an internal extension serviced by the switch, such that desirable switch features may thereby be made available to the external endpoint.

Title: Method for testing a communication channel
Inventor: MILLER WILLIAM LEE
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2001-03-28
Abstract: A method of evaluating the characteristics of a subscriber loop associated with a customer modem comprises the steps of receiving line probing data from the modem and analyzing the line probing data to determine the circuit characteristics of the subscriber loop which relate to communication rate performance. The method generates a gain slope value (32) as a function of the line probing data which is indicative of the length of the subscriber loop.  The method also generates a loaded slope value (34) as a function of the line probing data which is indicative of an inductive load on the subscriber loop.  The method also generates an A/D value (36) as a function of the line probing data which is indicative of an analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion on the subscriber loop. The method then outputs an expected communication rate for the subscriber loop as a function of the gain slope, loaded slope, and A/D values, thereby providing a circuit analysis of the customer subscriber loop.
