Patent CA-2664872-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FINN DAVID
IPC: G06K19/077
Filed: 2007-09-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for making radio frequency (RF) inlays. The RF inlays include an integrated circuit and an antenna affixed to a substrate material carrying the integrated circuit. During processing, portions of the wire forming the antenna are located adjacent to, but not directly over the integrated circuit such that the wire may be subject to further processing, such as removing insulation without potentially damaging the integrated circuit. In the subsequent processing step, the wire ends are placed in contact with and secured to the integrated circuit terminal areas. Methods of the invention include forming loops with the wire ends wherein the loops extend above a plane of the substrate, and in another processing step, the loops are displaced to be electrically connected to the terminal areas. Methods also include repositioning the wire and using a brush or comb device.

Patent CA-2673372-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOWERY ARTHUR JAMES
IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 2007-12-20
Abstract: A method of transmitting information over a non-linear optical channel includes the step (152) of generating an information-bearing signal, preferably an OFDM signal, which includes a plurality of closely-spaced sub-carriers in the frequency domain. A time-varying phase modulation is determined (154), which is a first function, and preferably a linear function, of the transmitted optical power corresponding with the information-bearing signal. The information-bearing signal and the time-varying phase modulation are applied (156) to an optical source in order to generate a corresponding transmitted optical signal having substantially the stated transmitted optical power characteristic. The first function of transmitted optical power is selected so as to mitigate the effect of the non-linearity of the optical channel upon the transmitted optical signal. In alternative arrangements, a time-varying phase modulation, being a second function of optical power, is computed (162) and applied (164) to a signal received following transmission through a non-linear optical channel. The two alternative arrangements provide, respectively, for pre-compensation and post- compensation of non-linear propagation effects that may be carried out entirely within the electrical domain, for example using digital signal processing techniques.

Filed: 2008-06-21
Abstract: A wire guiding device (1 ) includes a base (3) and a guide portion (10) for streamlining the flow of coiled wire (17) from a storage container (15). Side walls (22) may be included to bridge the distance between the device and the storage container to prevent wire from rising upward around the outside of the wire guiding device. As the amount of wire in the bin decreases, the wire guiding device will float downward maintaining constant downward pressure on the coil of wire. Wire in the storage container will therefore be drawn out in a smooth manner limiting or substantially preventing tangles.

Abstract: A data driven and forward looking risk and reward appetite methodology for consumer and small business is described. The methodology includes customer segmentation to create pools of homogeneous assets in terms of revenue and loss characteristics, forward looking simulation to forecast expected values and volatilities of revenue and loss, and risk and reward optimization of the portfolio. One methodology used for modeling revenue and loss is a generalized additive effect decomposition model to fit historical data. Based on the model, a segmentation procedure is performed, which allows for creation of groups of customers with similar revenue and loss characteristics. An estimation procedure for the model is developed and a simulation strategy to forecast and simulate revenue and loss volatility is developed.  Efficient frontier curves of risk (e.g., return volatility) and reward (e.g., expected return) are created for the current portfolio under various economic scenarios.

Title: Lacrimal implants and their use in the treatment of eye disorders
Inventor: JAIN RACHNA
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 2009-02-17
Abstract: Lacrimal implants (300) providing secure retention within the lacrimal punctum of an eye are described. The lacrimal implants can comprise a implant body (302) configured for at least partial insertion through the lacrimal punctum and into a lacrimal canaliculus. The implant body can include a deformable retention structure (308) that can be configured to substantially encapsulate an expandable retention element. In some examples, the expandable retention element can include a fluid absorbing material, which can be exposed to fluid such as via a fluid permeable retainer or a fluid permeable aperture (320). As the fluid absorbing material retains fluid (i.e., upon acceptance of fluid into the retention structure), its size increases and its shape can change to urge one or more portions of the retention structure outward, such as against a wall of the lacrimal canaliculus, thereby securely retaining the lacrimal implant within the punctum.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for determining an amount of blood in a blood culture are provided where an initial biological state and then periodic measurements of the biological state of the culture are taken. For each respective measurement, a normalization relative value between the respective measurement and the initial measurement is made thereby forming normalization relative values. For each interval of time points represented by the normalization relative values, a first derivative of the normalization relative values in the interval is made thereby forming a plurality of rate transformation values. For each set of rate transformation values in the plurality of rate transformation values, an average relative transformation value is computed, thereby forming average relative transformation values. A lookup table that matches a measure of central tendency of the average relative transformation values to a blood amount is used to determine the amount of blood in the culture.
