Patent CA-2358182-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONGSMA KENNETH R
IPC: B64D45/00
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: A display for presenting to a viewer the combined information outputs of a passive Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Mode-S  transponder messages without the TCAS  computer having to interrogate the transponders of the respective aircraft flying in formation (i.e., a passive TCAS). The display presents resolution advisories, traffic advisories, and other information for use by the flight crew. A TCAS computer and Mode-S transponder are used to provide distributed intra-formation control among multiple cells of aircraft flying in formation or close-in. The Mode-S transponder provides ADS-B Global Positioning System (GPS) squitter data to the TCAS computer;  the TCAS computer receives and processes the data without having to interrogate the transponders of the multiple cells of aircraft. The display indicates the relative velocity of the other aircraft in addition to other types of information. Symbology is used to indicate the other aircraft flying in formation and relative information to allow the host aircraft to respond accordingly.

Title: Vehicle occupant protection apparatus
Inventor: KAMEI TAKAHIRO
IPC: B60R21/02
Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: A lock plate and a movable plate are provided to fix a seat at an optional position, and an actuator is provided between the seat and the movable plate . The seat is moved to the rear of a vehicle body in an initial stage of impact by the actuator. Acceleration is generated in the seat through impact abutment of a collapsible tube in the actuator against a piston head in an intermediate stage of impact. In a final stage of the impact, the seat is made integral with the vehicle body. The deceleration of a vehicle body and a seat and the deceleration of an occupant can be made equal to each other at an earlier timing. The apparatus can be installed by making use of a space under the seat, whereby the necessity of securing a special vacant space for installation of the apparatus can be obviated.

Patent CA-2364570-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALBERSTADT CRAIG
IPC: C08J9/30
Filed: 2000-04-10
Abstract: This invention is directed to a new approach to form porous hydrogel materials by first creating gas pockets in the gel and then removing this gas. The removal of the gas creates a porous material, and the initial incorporation of sufficient gas allows one to create a material with an open, interconnected pore structure. Advantageous features of the resulting materials, in addition to their interconnected pore structure, may include that the pore structure is maintained over extended time periods and that the gels maintain a high mechanical integrity that allows seeding with cells and implantation without destruction or compression of the material.

Inventor: LEHMIKANGAS KEIJO
IPC: G01N21/57
Filed: 2000-05-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a measuring arrangement for determining roughness of paper of paperboard. The paper or paperboard (11) surface is illuminated with collimated light substantially parallel with the normal of the paper or paperboard (11) surface. An image is produced from the paper or paperboard (11) surface by means of reflected optical radiation. The reflected optical radiation is used for producing an image of the paper or paperboard surface onto the pixels of the camera's (22) detector surface, each of the pixels imaging an area in the order of micrometers of the paper or paperboard surface. An aperture (20, 30) provided in front of the camera (22) is used for adjusting the depth of focus of the image, which affects the measurement of roughness. Roughness of paper or paperboard is measured on the basis of the intensity of the pixels on the camera's (22) detector surface.

Title: Systems and methods for identifying user types using multi-modal clustering and information scent
Inventor: CHI ED H
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-03-25
Abstract: Techniques for determining user types based on multi-modal clustering are provided. The topology, content and usage of a document collection or web site is determined. The user paths are identified using longest repeating subsequence techniques and a multi-modal information need vector is determined for each significant user path. Multi-modal vectors for each document in the significant path, content, uniform resource locators, inlink and outlink multi-modal vectors are determined and combined based on path position and access frequency. Multi-modal clustering is performed based on a mufti-modal similarity function and a specified measure of similarity using a type of multi-modal clustering such as K-means or wavefront clustering. The identified clusters may be further analyzed based on changes to the weighting of the corresponding content, url, inlinks and outlinks multi-modal feature vectors.
Patent CA-2379348-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PODREBARAC GARY G
IPC: C07C11/09
Filed: 2000-05-11
Abstract: A process for the separation of isobutene, otherwise inseparable from butene-1 by fractionation, in high purity from butenes contained in a mixed hydrocarbon stream containing butene-1, butene-2 and small amounts of butadiene in which the mixed hydrocarbon stream (107) is fed to distillation column reactor (40) containing an alumina supported palladium oxide catalyst. The column is operated to tend to exclude butene-2 from contact with the catalyst and to maintain butene-1 in contact with the catalyst to isomerize the butene-1 to butene-2. As butene-2 is produced it is distilled away from the catalyst, upsetting the equilibrium and allowing for a greater than equilibrium amount of butene-2. The isobutene and isobutane are concurrently separated from butene-2.  Additionally, any butadiene in the feed is hydrogenated to butenes. The bottoms (108) is rich in butene-2.
Patent CA-2386272-A1 (CA)
Title: Collaborative design
Inventor: CHARTIER VALENTIN
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for use in computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management.       An efficient, non-centralized communications framework makes "synchronous" collaborative design possible. Users are resident at workstations that are connected in a peer-to-peer arrangement. In a collaborative design session, the model is resident in memory at each workstation. Modifications are made at any workstation, and commands, which are interpreted at each workstation to effect the modifications, are transmitted over the network. In addition, cell descriptors may be used to identify one or more geometric cells of a model. The cell descriptors are in the form of scripts specifying constraints or filters for identifying cells. The constraints are based on characteristics of items in the model, or associations between items in a model, that are readily discernable to the user, and are therefore easily written and susceptible to easy distribution to other systems.

IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2002-10-22
Abstract: A user of a personal information manager (PIM) may conveniently input an appointment time in the PIM according to a time zone (e.g., Eastern time zone) different from the default time zone (e.g., Pacific time zone) on which the PIM operates. When the appointment data including the appointment time is synchronized into a database, in accordance with an inventive time-shift approach, the appointment time is initially accepted into the database, and then corrected based on a time range specified by the user, appointments within which are time-shifted from the default time zone to another time zone also specified by the user. In accordance with a second, inventive time-zone qualifier approach, the user when entering the appointment time in the PIM also provides a time-zone qualifier specifying a time zone different from the default time zone.      Based on such a qualifier, in a data synchronization, an administrator of the database corrects the appointment time in the PIM to reflect the specified time zone before it incorporates the appointment time into the database.
