Patent CA-2443173-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BERBA MARIA LUISA
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2003-09-29
Abstract: A sanitary napkin for placement in a crotch portion of an undergarment of a wearer having a longitudinal axis and being further characterized by having a preferential bending zone extending obliquely in relation to the longitudinal axis, each preferential bending zone being located solely in an end region and does not extend Into a central region of the napkin, The preferential bending zone may be created by mechanically embossing the surface of the sanitary napkin to locally densify the absorbing materials of the article. The preferential bending zone causes the end regions of the sanitar y napkin to resist lateral compression forces exerted by the thighs of the wearer and thereby prevents bunching of the article an the undergarment. The centra l region 70 of the sanitary napkin conforms to the wearer's body providing greater comfort for the wearer of the napkin.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de diagnostic empirique de l'état d'un système surveillé. Des estimations de paramètres surveillés, effectuées à partir d'un modèle du système, permettent d'obtenir des valeurs résiduelles qui peuvent être analysées pour permettre la reconnaissance de signature d'un mode de défaillance. Des valeurs résiduelles peuvent également être testées pour permettre de déterminer des états d'alerte ( 0) et des configurations d'alertes ainsi générées sont analysées pour permettre de détecter des configurations de signature de mode de défaillance. Ce système utilise un opérateur de similitude pour reconnaître une signature et estimer des paramètres. Des modes de défaillance sont déterminés de façon empirique et des données de prévision sont automatiquement analysées afin de permettre de déterminer des signatures différenciables pour les modes de défaillance.

Abstract: A method of synchronizing wireless communication between computer (16) having a transmitter (24) and a peripheral device (50) having an amplitude modulated (AM) receiver (54) and at least one frequency modulated (FM) receiver (56) which communicates via radio frequency signals. The computer (16) partitions the data (28) into a plurality of data blocks (30), spreads the data blocks (30) over a plurality of frequency channels (38) within a predetermined range (70), and selects one of the channels (32) for transmitting the signal (40).  The resulting signal (40) has increased and decreased frequency corresponding to the data block (30). The periferal device (50) detects the signal (40) as being present and beings measuring a time period (64) with the AM receiver (54). The method is characterized by scanning the plurality of frequency channels (38) with the FM receiver (56) during the measured time period (64).  Additionally, the FM receiver (56) produces an output voltage (66) indicative of the radio frequency channel (32) in response to detecting the signal (40).  The periferal device (50) utilizes the output voltage (66) to select a narrow range of frequency channels (74) during the time period (64) to detect the signal (40) from the computer (16).

Title: System and method for enterprise-wide business process management
Inventor: SORRELL BEN
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2003-02-07
Abstract: Implementing a business process management system across an entire enterprise.  An exemplary computer-based system for implementing business processes can access data existing on one or more of the computer platforms of an enterprise to implement workflows by a workflow engine. A business process can be broken into business rules (520) that define the process. These business rules can then be categorized into work elements (530). Data for supporting the workflow can be identified, including sources of that data within the enterprise.  Delegates can be designed to implement each individual workflow element (540).  For example, a delegate can be designed to support the retrieval of data from a computer platform other than the platform hosting a workflow engine. These delegates, which typically comprise XML documents, can be assembled and operated as workflow elements to form the workflow processed by the workflow engine.
