Patent CA-2423967-C (CA)
Title: Methods and arrangements for realising betting with off-line terminals
Inventor: HAMALAINEN TIMO D
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2001-09-28
Granted: 2007-12-04
Abstract: Methods and arrangements are provided for handling, within a communications system comprising a distributed domain (301) and a central domain (303), electronic records that contain predictions of the outcome of a certain incident. Within the distributed domain (301) there is generated (304), before the outcome of the incident is known, a multitude of electronic records that contain predictions of the outcome of the incident. The electronic records are conveyed (305) from the distributed domain (301) to the central domain (303). After the outcome of the incident is known, the central domain (303) finds out (306) which of the electronic records, if any, contain correct predictions of the outcome of the incident. Each of the electronic records is furnished (304, 401, 502, 902, 1202, 1911), within the distributed domain (301), with a cryptographically protected proof of a certain moment of time associated with the generation of the electronic record. The central domain (303) accepts (306, 1430, 2011) only those of the electronic records conveyed thereto as valid for which the cryptographically protected proof of a certain moment of time associated with the generation of the electronic record shows that said certain moment of time was not later in time than a certain time limit.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un robinet pourvu d'une poignée intelligente comportant un module de mémoire destiné à enregistrer des données pertinentes. Un capteur disposé sur cette poignée détecte l'ouverture du robinet, ce qui déclenche le démarrage de compteurs de temps et l'enregistrement de l'événement <= ouvert >= dans un journal du module de mémoire. Lorsque le robinet est fermé, le capteur déclenche l'arrêt des compteurs de temps et l'enregistrement de l'événement <= fermé >= dans le journal. Les informations des compteurs de temps sont utilisées pour calculer la durée de l'événement <= ouvert >=. Cette durée, ainsi que les date et heure réelles de l'ouverture et de la fermeture du robinet sont ensuite enregistrées dans le journal. D'autres informations pertinentes, telles que la date de remplissage de la bouteille, le numéro d'identification de la bouteille, le numéro de lot et le nom ou numéro de compte du patient, peuvent également être enregistrées dans le module de mémoire.

Title: Optical transillumination and reflectance spectroscopy to quantify disease risk
Inventor: WILSON BRIAN C
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2002-11-20
Granted: 2012-09-25
Abstract: The present invention uses spectroscopic tissue volume measurements using non-ionizing radiation to detect pre-disease transformations in the tissue, which increase the risk for this disease in mammals. The method illuminating a volume of selected tissue of a mammal with light having wavelengths covering a pre-selected spectral range, detecting light transmitted through, or reflected from, volume of selected tissue, and obtaining a spectrum of the detected light. The spectrum of detected light is then represented by one or more basis spectral components, an error term, and an associated scalar coefficient for each of the basis spectral components. The associated scalar coefficient is calculated by minimizing the error term. The associated scalar coefficient of the each of the basis spectral components is correlated with a pre-selected property of the selected tissue known to be indicative of susceptibility of the tissue for the pre-selected disease to obtain the susceptibility for the mammal to developing the pre-selected disease.

Abstract: A method for quantifying droplet fluxes of a water mist spray uses different measuring apparatuses and compares the measurements of the two apparatuses with one another. One of the measuring apparatuses is an iso-kinetic sampling probe in which the air velocity of the portion of the water spray mist entering the probe is made equal to the air velocity of the water mist spray around the probe by connecting a source of vacuum to the probe. The drops of the spray entering the probe are prevented from passing out of the probe. The air velocity of the spray entering the probe is measured by an anemometer, the drops of the entering spray are collected in a reservoir, and the depth of water in the reservoir is measured by a differential pressure transducer. The output of the pressure transducer is sent to a computer that calculates the water collection rate based on the sectional area of the probe opening and the water collection rate in the reservoir.
