Title: Methods and apparatus for submitting information to an automated lending system
Inventor: STEYER FERDINAND
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for submitting reports to an automated lending system are described. At a lowest level interface, a user manually submits information via a browser, and at a highest level interface, information is submitted via a print driver. Although the broadest spectrum of client base is addressed by having the loosest coupling to the accounting system, i.e., the lowest level interface, the loosest coupling requires the most user interaction. As the interface level increases, the accounting system has a tighter coupling with the system, which provides increased functionality at the expense of restricting the variety of client types that may be supported (e.g., platform and operating system specific).

IPC: A24D1/00
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: A cigarette sidestream smoke treatment material made from a sheet of non-combustible active components provides a porous structure capable of treating sidestream smoke. The treatment material, as used in combination with a cigarette, provides a low sidestream smoke emitting cigarette unit. The material has a porosity which encourages a conventional free-burn rate of a conventional cigarette. The material may comprise a sorbent capable of sorbing components of the sidestream smoke, and an oxygen storage component which releases oxygen at free-burn rate temperatures to ensure that conventional free-burn rate is maintained and to enhance the oxidation treatment of the adsorbed non-aqueous components. Preferably, an oxidation catalyst is included in the material and most desirably the oxygen storage component may also function as the oxidation catalyst. Particularly preferred materials which perform the dual function are oxides of cerium.

Title: Wire puller
Inventor: RAY BRIAN N
IPC: B65H51/06
Filed: 1999-05-17
Abstract: The present invention is a wire puller, which pulls line through conduit, by employing the motor force of a standard right-angle power drill, and an operator to keep the line frictionally coupled to a spool on the wire puller.

Title: Method for determining dialysance and an apparatus for this method
Inventor: STEIL HELMUT
IPC: A61M1/16
Filed: 1999-07-06
Abstract: According to the inventive method for determining the dialysance of a dialysis machine during an extracorporeal blood treatment, the concentration of a par-ticular substance in the dialysis liquid is altered in the channel of the dialysis liquid, upstream of the dialysis machine. The concentration of said substance is al-tered based on a predetermined starting value and then restored to the starting value. The concentration of the substance in the dialysis liquid is measured with a mea-suring device (17, 18) located upstream or downstream of the dialysis machine. The quotient from the integral of the difference between the outgoing concentration in the dialysis liquid cdo(t) and the predetermined starting value cdol over time and the integral of the difference between the incoming concentration in the dialysis liq-uid cdi(t) and the starting value cdil over time is cal-culated in an evaluation and arithmetic unit (23) and the dialysance is then determined based on the quotient calculated and the flow rate Qd of the dialysis liquid in the channel of the dialysis liquid.

Title: Air priority valve for a compressed air system
Inventor: LOUCHART THEOPHILE HENRY III
IPC: F15B11/16
Filed: 2000-05-22
Abstract: A priority valve (50) for a compressed air system (10) in a tire retreading plant includes a solenoid controlled, diaphragm operated valve (52) connected at an inlet to an autoclave (40). A solenoid (54) controls whether the valve is opened or closed. A switch (70) has a pressure sensor connected to an inlet side. If the pressure falls below a low pressure limit, the switch (70) activates the solenoid to close the valve, thus shutting off the air supply to the autoclave (40). With the inlet to the autoclave closed, the air compressor (20) is able relatively quickly and easily to raise the pressure in the system above the low pressure limit. The valve (54) remains closed until the sensed pressure rises to a value sufficient to supply both the other equipment (28, 30) and the autoclave.

Patent CA-2343122-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARTIN RUSSEL A
IPC: H04N21/437
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: Digital pixel data is transferred from a computer system to video display hardware in a forward direction. However, there are many reasons for digital pixel data to be transferred in both directions along a cable connecting a computer and a monitor. This invention describes a method of sending digital data from a monitor back to the computer in a reverse direction. In transmission of digital pixel data in a forward direction, there are horizontal and vertical blanking periods during which special characters are transmitted in order to resynchronize the digital pixel data to a clock signal. In such a system the transmission of these special characters only requires a portion of the blanking periods. During the remainder to the blanking period, some of or all of the data paths can be used in order to transmit digital data in a reverse direction. Where all data paths are used, the beginning and end of the usable portion of the blanking periods may last for a fixed number of clock cycles. Alternatively, the beginning and end of the usable portion of the blanking periods may be indicated by signals transmitted in a forward direction over one of the data paths, where all data paths are not used in a reverse direction.
Patent CA-2343815-A1 (CA)
Title: Floorboard with compression nub
Inventor: NIESE MICHAEL
IPC: E04F15/04
Filed: 1999-09-10
Abstract: A wood floor system comprises a plurality of parallel rows (10a, 10b...10z) of floorboards (10) laid end-to-end, and each of the floorboards (10) includes a compression nub (20) extending along a side surface (13) thereof, adjacent the top surface (11). These compression nubs (20) affirmatively engage an opposing side surface (14) of an adjacent floorboard row (10a), thereby sealing, or isolating, the top surface of the floor from the side surfaces (13, 14) of the floorboard rows (10a, 10b...10z). This uniformly distributes expansion and contraction forces throughout the floor, due to uniform spacing between the floorboard rows (10a, 10b...10z). The isolation of the floorboard upper surface from the side surfaces (13, 14) also prevents undesired downward migration or flow of liquid finishing solution (28), which can have serious adverse affects for a wood floor. The invention reduces the total volume of finishing solution necessary for finishing the floor.
