Patent CA-2302901-A1 (CA)
Title: A network image communication system
Inventor: CHAO KUO-JEN
IPC: H04N1/41
Filed: 2000-03-29
Abstract: A server computer is connected to a destination computer via a network. The server computer has at least a web page and an image reduction program. The image reduction program is used to shrink a digital image file. When the destination computer requests the web page from the server, the server will instead send a related web page which has the references to graphics files changed to new references. These new references point to reductions of the original graphics files, the reductions being made by the image reduction program. Additionally, these reductions will have hyperlinks associated with them so that the user can click on the reduced image to view the original image.

Title: Self-cohering, continuous filament non-woven webs
Inventor: HAYES BYRON K
IPC: D04H3/14
Filed: 1998-09-29
Abstract: A web of continuous filaments which are made of at least one semi-crystalline polymeric component covalently bonded as a linear block copolymer with or blended with one or more semi-crystalline or amorphous polymeric components. The filaments are intermingled together to form a porous web of filaments, the filaments having multiple contact points with each other within the web. The filaments are bonded at the contact points without requisite for added adhesive binders, adjuncts or post extrusion melt processing. The web may be bioresorbable.      The web may also be provided in forms with relatively high cohesive shear strength. The polymeric components of the filaments exist, at least temporarily, in a homogenous substantially phase miscible uncrystallized state. If preserved in the homogenous substantially phase miscible uncrystallized state, the object can then be manipulated into a distinct desirable molded shape and then subsequently set or crystallized to retain the desired form particularly suitable for a specific use or application.

Abstract: An improved securement device aligns adjacent printed circuit boards ("PCBs") while simultaneously connecting all external hardware so as to prevent overcompression of elastomeric contacts positioned therebetween during assembly. The device supports a connector between a pair of PCBs in spaced parallel relation, wherein the connector itself supports a plurality of elastomeric contacts thereon for establishing electrical engagement between the PCBs. The PCBs and the connector each include aligned securement openings. The device includes an elongate fastener having a substantially cylindrical section positioned in the connector opening. The cylindrical section defines a pair of opposed, substantially planar spaced apart component landings for support of a similarly planar component thereupon. The landings are spaced apart a distance sufficient to place the PCBs in communication with the connector without overcompressing the elastomeric contacts therebetween. A substantially annular shoulder is concentrically defined on each of the landings and extends longitudinally therefrom. Such shoulder has an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of said cylindrical section. Further, a fastening element extends longitudinally from at least one of said top and bottom shoulders for fastening of the securement element to a housing member accommodating the PCBs and connector therein. In a preferred embodiment, a diametrical slotted cavity is defined in one landing and shoulder, which accommodates a torquing element therein.  The slotted cavity provides access to an internally threaded bore which is defined along the length of the slot and can be defined along the longitudinal extent of the cylindrical section itself.

Title: An autopoietic network system endowed with distributed artificial intelligence for the supply of high volume high-speed multimedia telesthesia, telemetry, telekinesis, telepresence, telemanagement, telecommunications, and data processing services
Inventor: MCGREGOR ANDREW DRUMMOND
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: An autopoietic network is described. The invention is implemented by means of a non-hierarchical network having a fractal structure. The system and its constituent networks are structurally coupled with their environment through hermeneutic processes. The system includes a number of cybernetic devices which are adapted to function as both the infrastructure of the network and the means by which the network services are delivered to network users.  These cybernetic devices communicate with other cybernetic devices in such a manner so that the network is in the form of a fractal, non-hierarchical mesh which is self-similar. The cybernetic devices may be particularly adapted to supervise or "mind" one or more other cybernetic devices functioning at a lower level of aggregation or complexity. The supervised cybernetic devices may be clustered or distributed in space and be associated with machines, systems or people.
Patent CA-2334051-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and sensor arrangement for measuring temperature and strain using an optical fiber embedded in a cover layer on a substrate
Inventor: GLEINE WOLFGANG
IPC: G02B6/024
Filed: 2001-02-02
Abstract: In a sensor arrangement for sensing temperature and strain, an optical fiber with a Bragg grating therein is arranged on a substrate and embedded in a cover layer. The fiber is initially adhered onto an adhesive carrier, which then positions and ap-plies the fiber onto the substrate. The fiber is point-wise fixed onto the substrate by a binder applied through holes in the adhesive carrier. Next, the carrier is stripped off to leave the fiber on the substrate. A cover layer is applied over the fiber and the substrate. Temperature and strain variations are trans-mitted from the cover layer into the fiber as non-circularly-symmetrical strains. The strain and temperature can be independ-ently determined using this single sensor, by feeding quasi-depolarized light into the fiber and measuring the overlapping birefringent reflections from the Bragg grating. The full width at half maximum value indicates the temperature, while the Bragg wavelengths indicate the strain and the temperature.

Title: Ink-receptive coatings and recording medium prepared therefrom
Inventor: CHAPMAN DAVID MONROE
IPC: C08L89/04
Filed: 1999-07-08
Abstract: The coating composition comprises inorganic oxide, e.g., silica, in combination with a binder system comprising a mixture of a water soluble polymer and a non-ionic latex polymer. The composition may contain optional dye mordant (e.g., cationic polymer). It is found that the combinations of these components result in relatively high solids formulations (e.g., greater than 20 % by weight) with relatively low viscosity (less than 5000 centipoise), do not exhibit coating dusting, and give exceptional ink-jet printability. These formulations are especially suitable for preparing on-line formulations because they can be formulated to have a viscosity less than 2000 centipoise.  Preferable embodiments for on-line coatings have a viscosity less than 1000 centipoise.

Abstract: An angled optical connector optically couples received first and second optical blocks, each of which has an optical fiber embedded therein which terminates at an optical block end face. The connector has corresponding first and second ports and a reflecting surface. In one embodiment, each port has a port optical block which includes an optical fiber embedded therein which extends between and terminates at first and second port optical block end faces.

A lens aligns with each port optical block optical fiber as terminating at the second end face of such port optical block for collimating light exiting or entering such optical fiber. The reflecting surface is aligned to reflect collimated light from the port optical block optical fiber of the first port to the port optical block optical fiber of the second port. In another embodiment, each lens aligns directly with the optical fiber of the corresponding received optical block. In a further embodiment, each lens is dispensed with such that light reflects directly from the first port optical block to the second port optical block.
