Title: Method for continuously producing plastic tubes by biaxial drawing and a production line for carrying out said method
Inventor: PREVOTAT BERNARD
IPC: B29C48/32
Filed: 2004-03-03
Abstract: Method for continuous production of tubes of plastic material by biaxial drawing. Method for continuous production of tubes of plastic material by biaxial drawing comprises: (1) forming a rough shape (E) by extrusion; (2) adjusting (E) to the temperature of molecular orientation; (3) subjecting it to radial expansion by applying an internal fluid pressure (P), through two axially spaced shutters; and (4) ensuring calibration and cooling, while exerting an axial traction on the tube. The new feature is that a pressure (P1), opposing (P), is applied externally against the wall of (E) in at least one zone that is subjected to radial expansion. P1 is smaller than P, so does not prevent expansion, but is sufficient to ensure a controlled expansion so that material thickness is constant over a given circumference. An independent claim is also included for a production line for performing the new method.
Patent CA-2519588-A1 (CA)
Title: Error-correcting code interleaver
Inventor: HUBRIS ALEXANDER
IPC: H03M13/27
Filed: 2004-03-15
Abstract: Memory may be partitioned into ever-sliding FIFOs. Each of the FIFOs may be stacked end-to-end in memory with the oldest data at the base offset and the newest at the end (or viceversa). Each symbol, the pointer may be incremented (modulo the set size) by an appropriate amount (typically J more than for the previous symbol). After each set, the pointers may be incremented by J more than the previous increment and the process starts over, wrapping around the memory if the end of the memory is reached. After a preset number of symbols, the process may restart from an increment of J. Alternatively, the pointers may be decremented rather than incremented. Thus, the newest symbol cannibalizes the memory position vacated by the oldest symbol in the current FIFO, causing the FIFOs to "slide", providing for a very efficient and reliable use of memory for error-correcting code interleaving.

The first player to mark each symbol in the players respective set is the winner. Additional cards are also provided to direct movement of tokens, one for each player, on spaces on the game board, inscribed thereupon as a partial piano keyboard. A player may become a conductor by marking instruments inscribed on the board with the markers. A conductor has increased opportunities to mark symbols in the respective player set and thus of winning the game.

Title: High concentration topical insecticides containing pyrethroids
Inventor: COTTRELL IAN
IPC: A01N53/00
Filed: 2004-08-03
Abstract: A topical insecticide preparation is provided which can be safe to use and avoids nany common deleterious side effects of conventional topical insecticides. The topical nsecticide contains a combination of a first pyrethroid insecticide effective for killing fleas, a second pyrethroid insecticide effective for killing ticks, and an insect growth regulator (IGR).  The topical insecticide preparation can be packaged together or packaged so that the first and second pyrethroid insecticides are stored separately prior to administration of the insecticide preparation to the animal. The combination of the first and second pyrethroid insecticides with an insect growth regulator results in an insecticide preparation formulated to have enhanced insecticidal activity against fleas and ticks compared to the effectiveness of the first and second insecticides used alone. Further, the combination of the first and second pyrethroid insecticides with an insect growth regulator produces an insecticide preparation having enhanced insecticidal activity against fleas and ticks while advantageously minimizing the total amount of insecticide needed for its effectiveness.

Title: Multiple bit chalcogenide storage device
Inventor: OVSHINSKY STANFORD R
IPC: H01L45/00
Filed: 2004-08-11
Abstract: Multi-terminal chalcogenide memory cells having multiple binary or non-binary bit storage capacity and methods of programming same. The memory cells include a pore region (210) containing a chalcogenide material along with three or more electrical terminals (240, 250 and 260) in electrical communication therewith. The configuration of terminals delineates spatially distinct regions of chalcogenide material that may be selectively and independently programmed to provide multibit storage. The application of an electrical signal (e.g. electrical current or voltage pulse) between a pair of terminals effects a structural transformation in one of the spatially distinct portions of chalcogenide material. Application of electrical signals to different pairs of terminals within a chalcogenide device effects structural transformations in different portions of the chalcogenide material. The structural states produced by the structural transformations may be used for storage of information values in a binary or non-binary (e.g. multilevel) system.

Title: Method for determination of the direction to an object for surveying
Inventor: GRAF ROLAND
IPC: G01C1/04
Filed: 2004-09-10
Abstract: According to the invention, an image (4) with a form (6) of the object is recorded, for the purpose of measuring the direction to said object, the further surveying of which will follow. In order to achieve an optimum stability for the above for rapid changes to the object position, the capabilities of modern image sensors are used to analyse or download only a part of the available pixels. A selection of analysed image information, as above, uses information about the required measurement accuracy and the time performance of the image sensor. According to the invention, such a limitation to the downloaded information can be achieved by the selection of a partial region (7b) of the image (4) by the combination of a sub-sampling with a sub-windowing. A selection of image points for downloading within the partial region (7a) of the image (4) can thus be achieved by means of targeted omission.

Title: System for identifying and sorting orders
Inventor: JORDAN MICHAEL L
IPC: G16H20/13
Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: A method for discriminating between orders is comprised of evaluating a queue of orders based on whether each prescription within each order can be filled in an automated or non-automated manner. A set of workstations for each prescription is then determined based on the evaluating. For those orders that can be filled entirely in an automated manner, the set of workstations for each prescription excludes a pharmacist review workstation. Another aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method of operating a prescription filling facility of the type having automated equipment and non-automated equipment for filling orders, the improvement comprising identifying an order that can be filled with automated equipment and routing at least one container to be filled for the order in a manner that eliminates a review of the order by a pharmacist. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be relied upon in construing the claims.

Title: Tool blade
Inventor: HARPELL WILLIAM
IPC: B66F19/00
Filed: 2006-09-05
Abstract: A blade for a lifting tool, the tool used to remove material off a support surface. The blade has a generally quadratic shape with front and rear edges joined by sides, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The bottom surface has a front section and a rear section, the front section extending rearwardly from the front edge of the blade while angling slightly away from the top surface, and the rear section extending forwardly from the back edge of the blade while angling slightly away from the top surface. The front and rear sections join to define a ridge located generally midway between the front and back edges of the blade, the ridge extending across the blade and parallel to the front edge. The blade can be rocked about the ridge to rest on either of the back or front bottom sections. When rocked forward to rest on its front bottom section, it can easily be slid under material on a support surface. Then, when rocked back to rest on its back section, it can slightly lever up the material, breaking it away from the support surface. The blade can then be pivoted about either edge to complete removal of the material. Fastener receiving slots can extend inwardly from the front edge.
