Title: Sandwich wrap and method of unwrapping a sandwich
Inventor: WHITMORE REBECCA E
IPC: B65D75/58
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: A sandwich wrap includes a base strip to which a sheet wrap is affixed, the sheet wrap extending beyond two opposing edges of the base strip. To wrap a sandwich, the sheet wrap is wrapped around the sandwich and the base strip is folded around the sheet wrap. The ends of the base strip are secured together either permanently or removably. To gain access to the sandwich, the consumer either disconnects the ends of the base strip and unfolds the sheet wrap, or the consumer removes a tear strip which divides the base strip into half-sections, whereby the user may discard one of the half sections and grip the other half section to hold the sandwich.

Title: Bis-beta-hydroxyethyl terephthalate production process and purification process
Inventor: SATO KIKUCHI
IPC: C07C67/56
Filed: 1999-12-24
Abstract: An aromatic polyester is pre-decomposed by heating together with bis- .beta.-hydroxyethyl terephthalate and/or a low condensate thereof and then, reacted with ethylene glycol to convert the terephthalic acid component of the pre-decomposed product into bis- .beta.-hydroxyethyl terephthalate and/or a low condensate thereof.      The thus obtained solution composition, that is, bis- .beta.-hydroxyethyl terephthalate solution composition containing ethylene glycol, bis- .beta.-hydroxyethyl terephthalate and cations and/or anions as impurities is brought into contact with a cation exchanger and/or an anion exchanger to remove rations and anions as impurities to produce bis- .beta.-hydroxyethyl terephthalate having a small content of ions.      The bis- .beta.-hydroxyethyl terephthalate-containing mixture having a small content of ions is subjected to preliminary evaporation or distillation to distill off a compound having a boiling point lower than that of bis- .beta.-hydroxyethyl terephthalate and then, to evaporation or distillation under reduced pressure to give purified bis-(3-hydroxyethyl terephthalate.        Thus, purified bis- .beta.-hydroxyethyl terephthalate having a ration and anion total content of 15 ppm or less is obtained.
Patent CA-2318926-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALBECK ALAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: A universal gateway (104) that allows data to be transferred between one or more network protocols and one or more control protocols is described. The various protocols can coexist on the same physical network medium (100) or on separate networks (100, 130). By using the gateway (104), end-users can mesh together traditionally standalone, incompatible networks into a universally accessible, centrally administered, "super-network". The gateway (104) provides a centralized node database, support for legacy protocols, a rules engine, and an object-oriented class library interface. High reliability access to the centralized node database is enhanced by the system fault tolerance provided by standby server nodes. In addition, the gateway (104) provides the ability to distribute various types of data streams over a power line. Routing handlers provided by the gateway (104) allow virtually any of the legacy data networking services, such as TCP/IP, to be routed over the power line.
Patent CA-2319420-A1 (CA)
Title: Integrated optical apparatus providing separated beams on a detector and associated methods
Inventor: FELDMAN MICHAEL R
IPC: G11B7/12
Filed: 1999-02-01
Abstract: An integrated optical apparatus includes an optically transparent substrate (21) with a light source (15) and a detector (17) mounted adjacent thereto.  The substrate includes an optical element in a transmit path from the light source to a remote target. The optical element splits the light into more than one beam. A detector receives beams reflected by the target. All optical elements needed to create the more than one beam, direct the more than one beam onto the target and direct the more than one beam from the target to the detector are on the substrate and/or any structure bonded to the substrate.  Preferably, the optical element provides sufficient separation between the more than one beam such that each beam is delivered to a unique respective light detecting element of the detector. The return path from the remote target to the detector may include an optical element for each beam or no optical elements. An additional substrate (11) may be included and bonded to the substrate. The active elements may be bonded to a bottom surface of the substrate, either directly or via spacer blocks, or may be provided on a support substrate, which is then bonded, either directly or via spacer blocks, to the substrate.

Patent CA-2334620-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FORD STUART J
IPC: A61B5/117
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: A device generating images described by contact, in which the contact itself closes an open circuit to generate radiation in a pattern corresponding to the contact. The resulting irradiated image corresponds directly to the contact pattern energizing the radiation. In a preferred embodiment enabled by an electroluminescent system without a back electrode, a fingerprint is disposed to close the open circuit by making contact and thereby serving as a "temporary" back electrode. The electroluminescent then energizes in a pattern corresponding to the contact (i.e. the fingerprint) to emit a high-resolution image of visible light with high fidelity to the contact. This visible light image may then be directed on to a photosensitive array standard in the art suitable for pixelation and conversion into an electrical signal representative of the image. This signal is available for computerized storage, analysis, processing and comparison.

Title: Consumer profiling and advertisement selection system
Inventor: ELDERING CHARLES A
IPC: H04N21/258
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: A consumer profiling and advertisement selection system (500) is presented in which consumers (100) can be characterized based on their purchase or viewing habits. The result of this process is a consumer characterization vector (562) describing the probabilistic demographics and product preferences of the subscriber or viewer (100). Advertisement characterization vectors (548) describing an actual or hypothetical market for a product or desired viewing audience can be determined. The ad characteristics including an ad demographic vector (548), an ad product category (552) and an ad product preference vector (554) is transmitted along with a consumer ID (512). The consumer ID (512) is used to retrieve a consumer characterization vector (562) which is correlated with the ad characterization vector (548) to determine the suitability of the advertisement to the consumer (100). A price for displaying the advertisement can be determined based on the results of the correlation of the ad characteristics with the consumer characterisation vector (562). The system can be used to both increase the effectiveness and cost efficiency of advertisements, as well as for determining the price for transmitting or viewing an advertisement, based on the collection of the ad with the consumer profile.
