Patent CA-2383435-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CLARK LELAND C JR
IPC: G01N33/483
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: La sensibilité d'électrodes polarographiques, à base d'enzyme, à une concentration d'oxygène peut être significativement réduite et éliminée par fourniture d'un réservoir d'oxygène en contact intime avec une enzyme oxydative. On obtient ce résultat en réalisant une émulsion stabilisée entre l'enzyme et un composé dans lequel l'oxygène est extrêmement soluble. Une solution aqueuse d'oxydase de glucose est émulsionnée à l'aide d'un liquide perfluorocarboné, et l'émulsion résultante est stabilisée par réticulation chimique du mélange de façon à former un gel. On fabrique les couches minces de l'émulsion en étalant une couche d'émulsion liquide avant que la gélification se produise. Des protéines de support supplémentaires, telles que l'albumine, peuvent être ajoutées à l'enzyme avant la réticulation, de façon à protéger l'activité enzymatique et à améliorer la résistance du gel. Des composés électroniques de transport supplémentaires peuvent être ajoutés de façon à réduire ultérieurement la sensibilité à une concentration d'oxygène.

Title: Local network based multiple sensor device with electrical load control means and with temperature sensor and heat detector that is exposed to ambient air by diffusion
Inventor: PORTER JAMES A
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: A multifunction sensor device acts as a heat detector and performs various transducer functions for temperature sensing, ambient light sensing, motion detection, switching functions, and a mechanism to put the device in an on, off or auto mode. The device operates in diverse environments in which sensors are utilized for energy monitoring and control, end user convenience or HVAC control. Key elements include overcoming the difficulty of mounting diverse sensors or transducers within the same device or housing; permitting these various sensors to exist in a single package mounted to a wall; and eliminating the requirement of an air flow channel, thus minimizing any adverse effects on the motion detecting element or sensor as well as providing built in partial hysteresis. A temperature sensor is exposed neither to the flow of air in a room or area nor in an airflow channel where a chimney effect may occur.

Title: Methode de regulation des transmissions a l'interieur d'un reseau de communication utilisant des facteurs de reduction de puissance
Inventor: HOLTZMAN JACK
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2001-03-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne, selon certains aspects, un système de communications dans lequel chaque cellule peut être conçue pour fonctionner conformément à ensemble de facteurs de réduction de puissance qui identifient les réductions maximales de niveaux de puissance de transmission pour les canaux associés auxdits facteurs. Ces derniers sont conçus pour fournir la puissance nécessaire à un pourcentage important des utilisateurs tout en réduisant la quantité d'interférence. Selon d'autres aspects, les cellules fonctionnent au moyen d'un schéma adaptatif de réutilisation qui permet aux cellules d'affecter et de réaffecter efficacement les ressources du système pour refléter les modifications du système. Un schéma de réutilisation est initialement défini et des ressources sont affectées aux cellules. En cours de fonctionnement, les modifications des conditions d'exploitation du système sont détectées et le schéma de réutilisation est jugé nécessaire, sur la base des modifications détectées. Par exemple, les conditions de chargement des cellules peuvent être détectées, et les ressources peuvent être réaffectées et/ou le schéma de réutilisation peut être redéfini. Selon d'autres aspects encore, des techniques permettent d'ordonnancer efficacement des transmissions de données et d'affecter des canaux à des utilisateurs. Les transmissions de données peuvent être ordonnancées sur la base des priorités des utilisateurs, certains critères d'égalité, des exigences du système, et d'autres facteurs. Les utilisateurs sont affectés à des canaux disponibles sur la base de plusieurs schémas d'affectation de canaux. Des mesures des canaux peuvent en outre être utilisées pour la priorisation des utilisateurs et l'affectation des canaux.

IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2001-04-05
Abstract: Pages of a web site can be selectively altered or added by remote users, by e-mailing updates to a computer configuration that supports the site. The web site comprises hypermedia produced from data organised in a hierarchical file structure with hyperlinks corresponding to the hierarchy of the file structure. An electronic mail message is constructed, addressed to a computer configuration, by clicking on a hyperlink in the web site. The e-mail automatically is provided with the address of the computer configuration together with file location data for placing the web page data into a predetermined position in the hierarchical file structure. The user places web page data corresponding to an update to be included in the web site, into the e-mail. The e-mail is then mailed to the computer configuration where the web page data is included in said hierarchical file structure according to the file location data. A conversion program module then converts the data in the hierarchical file structure, including the newly added web page data, into hypermedia for the web site with hyperlinks corresponding to the hierarchy of the file structure, thereby updating the web site with the mailed web page data.

Patent CA-2412318-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for efficient management of xml documents
Inventor: RICHARDSON RANSOM L
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 2001-06-01
Abstract: An in-memory storage manager represents XML-compliant documents as a collection of objects in memory. The collection of objects allows the storage manager to manipulate the document, or parts of the document with a consistent interface and to provide for features that are not available in conventional XML documents, such as element attributes with types other than text and documents that contain binary rather than text information. In addition, in the storage manager, the XML-compliant document is associated with a schema document which defines the arrangement of the document elements and attributes. The schema data associated with a document can contain a mapping between document elements and program code to be associated with each element. The storage manager further has methods for retrieving the code from the element tag. The retrieved code can then be invoked using attributes and content from the associated element and the element then acts like a conventional object. Further, the storage manager allows real-time access by separate process operating in different contexts. The objects that are used to represent the document are constructed from common code found locally in each process. In addition, the data in the objects is also stored in memory local to each process.  The local memories are synchronized by means of a distributed memory system that continually equates the data copies of the same element in different processes. Client-specified collections are managed by a separate collection manager. The collection manager maintains a data structure called a "waffle"  that represents the XML data structures in tabular form. A record set engine that is driven by user commands propagates a set of updates for a collection to the collection manager. Based on those updates, the collection manager updates index structures and may notify waffle users via the notification system.
