Title: Portable, solenoid driven, medicament crusher
Inventor: BASWICK GLORIA
IPC: B02C2/00
Filed: 2002-09-09
Granted: 2007-07-10
Abstract: A solid medicine crushing apparatus comprises: a solenoid mounted within an enclosure wherein the solenoid engages a crushing ram in an attitude for moving vertically downward when the solenoid is energized. A return spring engaged with the ram moves the ram to a starting position when the solenoid is deenergized. A cup assembly is used for holding a medicine to be crushed. The cup assembly includes an outer cup and an inner cup, where the outer and the inner cups are joined with a living hinge such that the inner cup is able to be rotated from a side- by-side position with the outer cup, to a position within the outer cup. A medicine is placed in the outer cup, the inner cup is then rotated into the outer cup to sandwich the medicine between the outer cup and the inner cup. The cups with the medicine are placed into the enclosure which is sealed by closing an interlocked door of the enclosure. The solenoid is then energized to bring the crushing ram into contact with the inner cup to crush the medicine.

Abstract: A transaction control system (1) generates presentation objects (19-22) which reside on front-end terminals. The control system (1) also comprises a business rules layer (16), a transaction layer (17), and an external interface layer (18). A transaction processing module (M1-M4) is created by a control system generating a presentation object and transferring it to a relevant front-end terminal and also instantiating a business object (23-25), a transaction object (27-29), and an external interface object (30-32).  Development of transaction processing modules is therefore very simple and the module is versatile and may be easily modified.

Title: Method of schematic-level ams topology optimization using direct representations
Inventor: MCCONAGHY TRENT LORNE
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2003-01-07
Granted: 2013-04-02
Abstract: A method of designing AMS circuits comprises representing circuit design candidates using direct representations such as hyper graphs and storing the direct representations in a database. An optimizer operates on the database of circuit design candidates using an application programming interface to identify optimal circuit design candidates. Views of the circuits, such as schematic or layout views, are provided to a designer. An interface such as a graphical user interface, allows the designer to manipulate the circuit design candidates with corresponding updates to the database during the optimization process so that further optimization steps are based on the updated direct representations in the database that result from the designer's manipulations of the displayed circuit design candidates.

Abstract: A method for enabling the use of heavy oil residuum by conversion to a useful product. The method, in one embodiment, involves the use of a heavy oil residuum which is substantially non flowable. The viscosity of the residuum is reduced by heat or a combination of heat and a diluent and subsequently mixed with water such that the mixing is high shear mixing. This results in the formation of an emulsion of predispersed residuum in an aqueous matrix. The emulsion is formed such that the aqueous matrix is in a size distribution suitable for use as a combustible fuel.

Title: Methods and apparatus for continuous control and protection of media content
Inventor: HILL RALPH D
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 1999-03-16
Granted: 2006-05-23
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus for protection of streamed media content is disclosed. The apparatus includes control means for governance of content streams or objects, decryption means for decrypting content streams or objects under control of the control means, and feedback means for tracking actual use of content streams or objects. The control means may operate in accordance with rules received as part of the streamed content, or through a side-band channel. The rules may specify allowed uses of the content, including whether or not the content can be copied or transferred, and whether and under what circumstances received content may be "checked out" of one device and used in a second device. The rules may also include or specify budgets, and a requirement that audit information be collected and/or transmitted to an external server. The apparatus may include a media player designed to call plugins to assist in rendering content. A "trust plugin" and its use are disclosed so that a media player designed for use with unprotected content may render protected content without the necessity of requiring any changes to the media player. The streamed content may be in a number of different formats, including MPEG-4, MP3, and the RMFF format.

Abstract: Un procédé de récupération du méthane présent dans une couche de houille et/ou de séquestration d'un fluide plus absorbant que le méthane ( 'SAG ') dans une couche de houille consiste à fracturer un puits d'injection et à injecter cycliquement du fluide SAG avec des phases d'attente intermédiaires. Même si la perméabilité absolue de la couche de houille diminue en même temps que la sorption continue du fluide SAG, l'injectivité du fluide SAG, augmente de manière surprenante et inattendue, alors que le fluide SAG est injecté à des pressions supérieures à la pression du réservoir, mais cependant inférieures à la pression de fracturation ou à la pression de propagation de la fracturation. On pense que l'injectivité accrue est due à une réduction de la résistance de l'écoulement à proximité du puits.
