Patent CA-2364058-A1 (CA)
Title: Automatic weapon user identification and safety module
Inventor: MILLER RODNEY
IPC: F41A17/06
Filed: 2001-11-30
Abstract: An automatic weapon safety system where power consumption is reduced and safety is increased is disclosed. The system includes a movement detector operatively associated with the handgrip of a weapon for detecting the presence of a hand on the handgrip. The system also has a transceiver operatively associated with the movement detector for sending a coded signal when the weapon has been gripped. The coded signal is received by at least one remote token which receives the coded signal and transmits a coded acknowledgement signal upon receipt of the coded signal. A system is provided for enabling and disabling the weapon, operatively connected to the transceiver for allowing operation of the weapon when the coded acknowledgement signal has been received. The system may include two tokens, which are worn by the authorized user. In this case, the transceiver further includes an anti-collision module to discriminate between the different tokens and select which one will be permitted to issue the coded acknowledgement signal. Also preferably, the transceiver includes an anti-jamming module. Verification of the token can be done every time the trigger is depressed. Alternately, verification can be done only once, when the weapon is first gripped, and authorization remains until the handgrip is let go.  Furthermore, since bi-directional RF communication is effected only when the trigger is depressed, power consumption is reduced.

Title: Method and apparatus for data compression
Inventor: BOOTH ROBERT CHARLES
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-04-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing Internet protocol messages, such as HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) messages. Codewords (225) are provided for commonly occurring HTTP data elements, such as request lines, header lines, status lines, or portions thereof, such as method fields, URL fields, version fields, and status codes or messages. The codewords are used to provide a compressed HTTP message with a reduced amount of data relative to ASCII coding. If other data is included with the message, such as an entity body (e.g., a requested object such as an HTML  page), the other data can be coded separately (215) and recombined (230) with the codewords for the HTTP data elements. The codewords may have reserved bits for providing specific information about the message. The amount of data that must be communicated, e.g., to or from a subscriber terminal (150), is thereby reduced. A message handler (340) decodes and processes the codewords.  A compressed message handler (410) can be provided that processes/renders the compressed HTTP data (e.g., codewords) directly without decompressing them. The system is compatible with other compression techniques to provide even greater compression.

Patent CA-2376542-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARRIS DAVID A
IPC: F16B39/24
Filed: 2002-03-12
Abstract: A locking fastener assembly comprising a nut and a washer. The nut and washer each have opposed load bearing surfaces which include a series of annularly extending, slightly inclined faces forming shallow undulations around each surface. The load bearing surface on the nut is generally spherically convex and the load bearing surface on the washer is generally spherically concave. The nut rotates as it is installed while the washer is prevented from rotating so that the undulating bearing surface on the nut slides over the undulating bearing surface on the washer against ever increasing resistance until the assembly is properly seated and the nut is effectively prevented from counter-rotating by interference between opposed, inclined faces. A concave clamping surface is formed on the outer end of the washer on a radially extending flange. The flange flexes when the assembly is installed and resiliently urges the washer against the nut.
Patent CA-2377162-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HORWITZ LARRY S
IPC: A61B3/113
Filed: 1999-07-27
Abstract: An ocular biometer utilizing a light emitting source (7) and corresponding optics to illuminate areas of the eye in order to analyze the wavefront of the reflected light. Aperture sharing elements, such as "hot mirrors" (4) are used to allow the eyes (1) to view the world, as the ocular biometer measures various characteristics of the eye such as the refractive (i.e., accommodative) state, the gaze angle and the pupil diameter at any instant of time and continuously. Optical wavefront conditioning and wavefront sensing techniques are used to determine the refractive power of the eye and the instantaneous accommodative state. Reflected light is projected through a reticle (26) or plurality of reticles (26, 28). Spatial characteristics of the resulting shadow pattern uniquely determine the characteristics of the eye.  These shadow patterns can be measured directly or by causing a modulation of the lines with a second identical reticle placed appropriately between the first and the imaging plane. The bright pupil and a Purkinje image may be used to compute the gaze angle (or, line-of-sight). A bright pupil on a dark background will provide the pupil diameter measurement. The ocular biometer can be configured in a binocular manner so that both eyes can be investigated simultaneously for strabismus, stereopsis and convergence measurements. The depth of modulation of the modulated shadow pattern provides an indication of the acuity of the ocular media and the retinal surface thus providing a means for screening such medical anomalies as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts.

These proteins or peptides are useful in agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
