Patent CA-2375103-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HANSEN DAVID R
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for providing production printing instructions for a printed end document to a job preparation station. The printed end document is made up of a plurality of other documents received from the customer which are to be inserted in a predefined order and in a predefined format. The job submission station includes a computer and a receiver which receives the plurality of documents in electronic format. An input device, such as a keyboard or a mouse, is used to provide the job submission station operator with the ability to provide input instructions to the computer. The operator uses the input device to arrange all of the documents into an electronic folder, such as a directory, and to arrange the documents in the order in which the documents are to be printed to compose the end document. The computer is programmed to automatically convert the document into a ready for printer format file and merge the plurality of documents together to create a single document. The computer also generates an electronic job ticket that provides global attributes for the printed end product.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for conducting secure transactions via postal authority (10) cryptographic transformations. In particular, value is  issued in the form of a value message (14) including a cryptographic transformation (220) enabling a recipient (16) to determine the authenticity  (312) of the value message (14). The recipient (16) applies additional cryptographic transformation information (314) to endorse the value message (17). The postal authority (10), receives the endorsed value message (17), cryptographically transforms (400, 402, 404, 410, 412) the endorsed value message (17), and registers the transfer of value from the payor to the paye e (416, 418). Similarly, the cryptographic transformations can be used to protect the identity of the mail order customer (500) while ensuring the authenticity if the purchase order and payment by the customer to the mail order merchant (502). In yet another application, the cryptographic transformations facilitate payment of bills via submission of "endorsed" postcards to the postal authority (10).

Abstract: A method and system to facilitate image guided surgery by projecting onto th e patient an image corresponding to markings made on pre-acquired images of th e patient is disclosed. The image is projected by an imaging projecting device  such as a laser which emits coherent visible light. The position of the patient and the image are determined in the same frame of reference. The markings made on the pre-acquired images are then mapped onto the corresponding locations of the patient. The image projecting device then projects images onto the patient corresponding to the markings made on the p re- acquired images. The images projected by the image projecting device can be temporarily or permanently marked onto the patient so that they are visible after the image projecting device stops emitting radiation. Use of aphotodynamic substance can also be used in conjunction with the light emitt ed from the laser to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the patient.</SDOA B>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé, de préférence un procédé en continu, de revêtement d'un substrat permettant la perméation de la vapeur d'eau, et de préférence de l'air, au travers d'un revêtement hydrophobe. Le procédé utilise, de préférence, une opération de condensation sous vide à couche mince pour créer un revêtement monomère qui est traité in situ après l'étape de revêtement. Ledit procédé présente l'avantage de permettre un traitement en continu et de constituer une alternative aux procédés existants de revêtement hydrophobe. Les substrats sont revêtus de manière que les sites de perméation à la vapeur d'eau ne soient pas bloqués par le revêtement afin que la respirabilité voulue soit maintenue. L'angle statique de contact avec l'eau à la surface de ce type de substrats est supérieur à 95·. Ces substrats sont utilisés, de préférence, soit dans des articles absorbants, notamment les couches, les produits d'incontinence, les tampons d'absorption de la transpiration des aisselles, les serviettes hygiéniques, les garnitures périodiques, les protège-slips, les compresse mammaires, les semelles intérieures ou les bandages pour chaussures, soit dans des vêtements de protection comme les gants ou les imperméables, vêtements pour lesquels la transmission de la vapeur d'eau, notamment de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, est particulièrement souhaitable.

Abstract: The present invention contemplates a system whereby a service provider can service a large number of customers (millions) and connect them to their rented PC from millions of locations around the world. Many customers (10 to  100 thousand) can be connected simultaneously. The service provider is responsible for maintaining the latest PC Hardware and Software configuratio ns available on the market instead of the customer. The rented PC operates in essentially the same manner as if one purchased and maintained their PC at home or office. Access to the individuals rented PC can be obtained from any  existing PC, office network computer, a Web TV computer or other customer interface computer which has been authorized by the service provider. The current invention will greatly improve existing Client/Server systems being used to service large global offices. However, the greatest improvement is t o make the PC much more convenient and easier for the individual to use in the  future and shift the PC hardware and software update burden to the service provider.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for extruding material, the material being extruded with an apparatus comprising at least one rotatable rotor and at least one stator, the rotor and the stator comprising grooves, whereby the grooves make the material move through the apparatus when the rotor is rotated. The rotor and stator surfaces facing each other have a wavelike cross-section, and the grooves are so arranged that at the ridge of a wave the depth of a groove reaches its maximum, and at the bottom of a wave the depth reaches its minimum. The bottom of the wave in the rotor is at the ridge of the wave in the stator and vice versa. This makes the material move alternately from a rotor groove to a stator groove, and back.

Abstract: In a first standby state, the reception quality of a signal from a system which has established synchronization is detected. If the detected reception quality deteriorates to be less than a threshold value, the destination of synchronization establishment is changed from a first system to a second system. In a second standby state after this system change, the reception quality of a system having a higher priority order of selection than the second system which has established synchronization is detected. If a third system whose detected reception quality exceeds the threshold value is found, the destination of synchronization establishment is changed to this third system again. After that, the first standby state is returned.
