Title: Policy representations and mechanisms for the control of software
Inventor: GRAY TOM
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: According to the present invention, an architecture of multiple agents is provided for setting up and enforcing policies within each site of a virtual  network. A policy server represents the global policies of the site and each agent manages its own policies. Policies are dynamically downloaded from the policy server into agents that carry the responsibility to enforce them. Agents propagate their policies to  the policy server to detect any conflict that may rise between agents during dynamic mapping and resource reservation. A negotiation mechanism is provided to resolve suc h conflicts. An authorization-based mechanism is also provided such that agent s must request authorization before performing any action, in response to which a ticket is delivered to the requesting agent for accountability and security reasons.</ SDOAB>

Patent CA-2322813-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ECKEL DAVID P
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: An apparatus for a method of inhibiting and overriding the normal operating mode of one or more input devices connected to a communications network (14).  The present invention functions within an electrical network made up of a plurality of input devices wherein a group of input devices is capable of commanding an electrical control device (18) to apply and remove electrical power from an electrical load connected thereto. The input devices or nodes communicate with the electrical control device over a communications network.  When one of the input devices is turned off, the normal operating mode of all the other input sensors (16) are inhibited. The electrical control device remains inhibited until the input devices are no longer in the off position.  Thus, electrical power to the load (22) controlled by the electrical control device remains disconnected until all input devices are in the on position.  Local and remote signaling, control and indication diagnostic and monitoring functions are also provided.

Patent CA-2330711-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN ROBERT A
IPC: B07B1/14
Filed: 2001-01-11
Abstract: A cherry sizing process and apparatus in which cherries are sized in stages, with each stage including substantially parallel rollers and with each stage having a gap different than the other stages. Preferably, the larger size cherries are removed before the final sizing stage. In addition, the larger cherries are preferably removed as an overs product, i.e., as the cherries which do not pass through the gap between rollers at the stage at which the larger cherries are removed. The different gap settings can be set based upon recommended ranges which have been determined based upon the recognition that a particular gap will have a predictable removal efficiency for each of various cherry sizes. In addition, the gap can be selected utilizing a simulator which determines the result of each sizing stage based upon statistical information concerning the size distribution of cherries to be sized and the removal efficiencies of each stage for each cherry size. Based upon the results predicted by the simulator, the gap or other sizing conditions (such as the speed of the roller) can be refined.

Patent CA-2338841-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHELLEY ROBERT JOHN R J S
IPC: B60J3/00
Filed: 2001-02-16
Abstract: The following is a summary description of the DASH VISOR. The visor was thought up and designed to limit the adverse effect of reflective lights that get to an automobile driver or passenger from a reflection off the hood of a vehicle. The visor is rectangle shaped, although the overall shape and size will be unique to the dashboard design and the hood configuration of a specific make and model of vehicle. The visor will be situated on the dashboard to cover the hood area where reflective light is predominant for the driver and passenger (In Canada that would be the left to center of the vehicle). There will be a separate visor for the driver and the passenger. The visor is made of rigid material like cardboard, plastic or metal and is covered in the same material as the dashboard. The visor is set into the top of the dashboard so the dashboard is level when the visor is down. The visor will hinge upward from the top of an automobile's dashboard. The hinge is rigid enough to allow the visor to stay in place and not self adjust. It will take a human hand to adjust the visor. The visor is therefore adjustable to how a driver or passenger sits in the vehicle.
