Patent CA-2296607-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for determining commission
Inventor: TELLEFSEN JENS
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 1999-03-31
Abstract: The invention provides for a method and apparatus for determining the commission to be paid to a sales representative or sales teams. Based on a set of Allocation Rules (210) that specify the credit an individual is to receive from a Transaction (200), the Transactions are converted into several Allocations (202) for individual Sales Representatives or Sales Teams. One or more Quotas (212) specify a target of goal that must be reached to earn commission for each Sales Team. A Quota State (206) indicates the current performance of a Sales Representative with respect to a particular Quota within a particular time frame. The Quotas are used to convert the Allocations/Transactions into Quota Details (204) that specify how to increment or decrement the Quota State (206). A Promotion (216) specifies the reward or commission that is received upon attaining a desired level of performance. Once a Quota State reaches a level necessary to receive a commission or reward as set by a specific Promotion, a Ledger Item (208) indicating the amount to be paid to particular Sales Team is created.

Title: Section fixable to an anchoring base
Inventor: HERTWECK THEO
IPC: E04B9/18
Filed: 2000-01-31
Abstract: A section fixable in a mounted position to an anchoring base by means of fastening screws has at least one fastening segment extending in the mounted position substantially parallel to the anchoring base for levelling panels relative to the anchoring base. A safety tab protrudes from the fastening segment at least within the area of the screw hole. When the section is in its mounted position and after the fastening screw has been driven in, the safety tab can be deformed by bending or folding it into its safety. In this position, the tab grips over the edge of the screw head of the fastening screw and leaves free a surface to be engaged by a screwdriver. In an alternative embodiment, a spring-elastic safety arrest is used and as a fastening screw is being driven in, the safety arrest is pushed away sideways by the head of the screw and, after the fastening screw has been completely driven in, the safety arrest snaps into a safety position in which it grips over the edge of the head of the fastening screw.

Patent CA-2312806-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOUGLAS DONALD J
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: A method of analyzing ions is carried out in a mass spectrometer apparatus comprising an ion source, a linear RF quadrupole and a time of flight mass spectrometer. Ions are generated from the ion source and passed into the linear RF quadrupole. To retain ions within the linear RF quadrupole, potentials are applied to either end of it and it is then operated as an ion trap. Ions of interest are selected in the linear RF quadrupole and unwanted ions are caused to be ejected. Selected ions are then excited and caused to collide with a neutral gas, to cause collision induced dissociation thereof, thereby forming fragment ions for analysis in the time of flight mass spectrometer. The potential of one end of the linear RF quadrupole is then adjusted to pass selected and fragment ions through to the time of flight mass spectrometer. This enables a spectrum of the selected and the fragment ions to be obtained from the time of flight mass spectrometer.

Title: Process for preparing (bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl)-acetic acids and alkyl esters thereof and dialkyl (bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl)-malonates
Inventor: MARHOLD ALBRECHT
IPC: C07B61/00
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: [Bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-acetic acids are obtained in an advantageous manner by reacting an appropriate bromo- or iodo-bis-{trifluoromethyl)-benzene with a di-C1-C4-alkyl malonate in the presence of a deprotonating agent and a copper salt and hydrolysing and decarboxylating the reaction product in basic medium. It is possible to obtain a mixture of alkyl [bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-acetate and alkyl [bis-(tri-fluoromethyl)-phenyl]-malonate by admixing the reaction mixture which is present before hydrolysis and complete decarboxylation with water and acid and heating. From the mixture, it is possible to obtain alkyl [bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-acetate by distillation under reduced pressure and dialkyl [bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-malonate by work-up by column chromatography, fractional distillation or film distillation. [Bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-malonic esters are novel compounds.

Title: Dvd-authoring system and method
Inventor: BRODERSEN RAINER
IPC: G11B27/034
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: A DVD authoring system in a processor-based system removes an author from consideration of the DVD Specification during authoring. According to a preferred embodiment, the authoring system provides an authoring engine having an interactive graphical authoring interface, a data management engine, an emulator, a compiler, a multiplexer and a simulator. Using summary authoring data, the compiler builds a skeleton-form PGC layout structure comprising control PGC abstractions and router PGC abstractions. The compiler then resolves the PGC abstractions according to source-target connections.  During playback on a DVD player, the PGC abstractions form elements in a connection-switching abstraction superstructure. Accordingly, in response to DVD-consumer and other control events, a source PGC preferably determines target PGC information and then transfers control, via virtual connections through necessary router PGC abstractions, to a target PGC abstraction. The target PGC abstraction then correspondingly initiates playback of a movie chapter or displays a menu.

Ce composé à base de métal de transition est soit un chlorure métallique soit un chloroalcoxyde de métal. Le métal de transition appartient au groupe des titane, vanadium et zirconium. L'alcoxyde d'alkylmagnésium appartient au groupe des butoxyde de butylétylmagnésium, 2-éthyléxoxyde de butylétylmagnésium, éthoxyde de butyloctylmagnésium et propoxyde de butylmagnésium.
