Abstract: A method of remotely accessing a postage security account at a data center from a remote user device begins with a remote user assigning a password to the user's postage security account at a data center. A cryptographic key corresponding to the user's postage security account is provided to the remote user device and is stored at the data center. The password and the cryptographic key are combined at the remote user device and the data center respectively to obtain a user authentication key. An authentication algorithm is performed using the user authentication key to obtain a remote access message. The remote access message is sent to the data center to initiate request for access to the postage security account b y the remote user device. The remote user device is authenticated for accessing the postage security account when the data center verifies the remote access message.
Patent CA-2264448-C (CA)

Granted: 2008-10-28
Abstract: Assays where harsh sample pretreatment for releasing an analyte is required are routinely performed in two separate vessels or on two physically separate surfaces. The present invention provides for the preparation of a surface suitable for performing assays where sample pretreatment is necessary. The appropriate surface is coated with a molecule coupled to biotin wherein the resulting surface is resistant to the analyte releasing step. It can then be overcoated with avidin. Treatment of samples with strong alkali and reducing agents to release complexed or bound analyte molecules prior to assay can be carried out in the presence of the coated surface without significantly reducing its binding activity. In this way, pretreatment and assay can be accomplished on the same surface or in the same reaction vessel.

Title: Flavor-injected blending apparatus
Inventor: MILLER ERIC R
IPC: B01F7/16
Filed: 1997-05-09
Granted: 2005-06-28
Abstract: A flavored shake drink is prepared from a prepackaged neutral flavored mix stored within a serving cup (300). A flavored syrup is selected and dispensed through a dedicated nozzle carried by a housing (110). Each of a plurality of nozzles (128) is in fluid communication with a corresponding solenoid control valve (126) which controls the flow of the selected syrup pumped from a bag-in-the box styled reservoir (210). One reservoir is provided for each of the selected flavors. A manually activated programmable timer controls the length of time that the solenoid activated valve remains opened thus providing a preselected amount of syrup into the cup. Switches are provided for doubling and halving the amount of the preselected quantity of syrup when creating varying single flavored and combination flavored shakes.      In addition to shielding (113) provided around the blender spindle (114) carried by the housing for maintaining the surrounding area in a clean condition, a protective sleeve (31b) is placed within the cup for limiting the amount of mix splashed from the cup during blending of the selected syrup and neutral flavored mix. Prior to adding a selected syrup, the cup of unflavored mix is stored in a tempering freezer (400) where it is maintained at a preselected temperature suitable for providing desirable blending of the syrups with the mix.

Abstract: Transmission method in which angle-modulated pulses with temporally opposite angle modulation are generated in the receiver during the duration of the pulse, which pulses are superimposed by means of a first superimposing element (8, 9), in each case in pairs, into a folded pulse, whereby the folded pulses transmitted to the receiver, after a modulation process, carry information impressed upon them, and these folded pulses are filtered at the receiver through two parallel-connected, complementary dispersion filters with frequency-dependent group delay characteristics, whereby the frequency-dependent group delay characteristics of the two dispersion filters are matched to the angle-modulation, in each case, of one of the two pulses forming in their superposition the folded pulse, in such a way that at the output of the dispersion filter, in each case, a combined signal appears that consists of one compressed pulse with increased amplitude and one expanded pulse with decreased amplitude, whereby the signals at the outputs of both dispersion filters at the receiver are combined by means of a second superimposing element.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de formation de carbonate de calcium. Ce procédé consiste à faire réagir de l'oxyde de calcium avec des ions carbonate en présence d'eau, de manière à obtenir du carbonate de calcium. Selon l'invention, le carbonate de calcium est obtenu directement à partir de l'oxyde de calcium, sans étape intermédiaire, dans une précipitation à trois phases. On effectue successivement l'hydratation de l'oxyde de calcium pour le transformer en hydroxyde de calcium et la carbonatation de la partie hydratée après les avoir si fortement agités pour que les éléments de carbonate de calcium ainsi formés se détachent de la surface de l'hydroxyde de calcium. On effectue le mélange de préférence dans un milieu fluide dans lequel la quantité de phase gazeuse représente au moins 20 parties en volume et la quantité de phase liquide est comprise entre 0,5 et 1 partie pour une partie en volume de matière solide de la suspension. Selon le procédé, le produit voulu obtenu, à savoir le PCC, peut être préparé en un temps de séjour très court et en un minimum d'opérations.
