Patent CA-2488673-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NABEL JEFFREY
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2003-06-09
Abstract: The present invention is an electronic, Internet-based system, and method for practicing same, which provides a potential buyer of an automobile the ability to search for, compare, identify and make an offer to purchase an automobile, which offer is transmitted to an automobile dealer. In the inventive electronic, Internet-based system, a potential buyer accesses a first user interface through a hyper-link directly from a participating automobile dealer's Internet site or from an advertisement tied to an automobile dealer (100). The act of accessing a first user interface through either form of hyper-link designates said automobile dealer as a target automobile dealer for the current potential buyer (110). By accessing the first user interface, a potential buyer may: i) configure the characteristics and options available for a desired automobile (120); ii) view available pricing information on the selected automobile configuration (130); and iii) make an offer to the target automobile dealer for the purchase of the selected automobile having the selected configuration (140), generating an offer transmittal to be sent to the target automobile dealer (150). After the target automobile dealer receives the offer transmittal (160-170), the target automobile dealer may contact the potential buyer directly to discuss the offer for the configured automobile (180). During such direct contact, the potential buyer is in a bargaining position which provides more comfort, advantages, and bargaining power to the potential buyer.

Inventor: SMITH LAWRENCE A JR
IPC: C10G35/00
Filed: 2003-08-11
Abstract: A method of operating a multi-phase downflow reactor so as to induce a pulsing flow regime is disclosed. The pulse may be induced by increasing the gas rate (12) while maintaining the Liquid rate until a pressure drop sufficient to induce the pulse flow is achieved.

Title: Arrays identifying genomic and proteomic biomarkers for cystic fibrosis
Inventor: POLLARD HARVEY B
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-05-29
Abstract: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal autosomal recessive disease in the U.S. and is principally caused by the DF508 mutation in the CFTR gene. The principal site of morbidity and mortality for this disease is the lung. We have used genomic and proteomic methods to identify ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolase-1 (UCHL1) as a biomarker for cystic fibrosis. Both gene expression and cognate protein expression are massively upregulated in CF lung epithelial cells. We suggest that this gene can be useful in the assembly of a diagnostic or prognostic chip for CF, or as a target for therapeutic intervention.
Patent CA-2494633-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YUI GEORGE
IPC: F24H9/12
Filed: 2005-01-24
Abstract: A tank for retaining and heating water is defined by tank walls, including a bottom wall portion comprised of stainless steel. The tank has a water inlet and a water outlet for dispensing hot water. An aluminium intermediate plate is brazed to the lower surface of the bottom wall portion. A heating element secured within a heat conductive sheath, is brazed to the intermediate plate. A baffle is positioned within the walls of the tank, dividing the tank into an upper water reservoir and a lower preheating chamber, the baffle having at least one open portion defined therethrough. A thermostat which activates the heating element to provide heat to the tank when the thermostat reads a temperature at or below a preset temperature is positioned on the tank wall below the midway point between the top and bottom wall of the tank and where a baffle is present in the tank, below the position of the baffle. The brazing of the heating element embedded in a heat conductive material to the intermediate heat plate and the intermediate plate to the tank walls increases the surface area and the thermal conductivity of the junction between the heat element and heating plate and tank walls thereby improving efficiency of heat transfer. The presence of a baffle within the tank creates a preheat chamber which allows more rapid heating of water.

Title: System and method for secure communications
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: Like Microsoft's call for trustworthy computing, there are similarly a few inherent problems in communications between computers and/or between other electronic devices (such as for example Fax machines), which can initiate a similar call for trustworthy communications. These problems are caused mainly by various limitations in the currently employed communication protocols, for example over the Internet, or in Fax transmissions. The two main problems are: Verification by the sender that the user indeed received the message, and verification by the receiver that the purported sender indeed is the one who initiated the message. Both of these features are currently lacking for example in normal Fax communications and in normal email communications. In electronic communications over the Internet for example normal email communications allow users very easily to falsify the sender's email address, as happens for example many times when spam (unsolicited junk mail) is sent, or when various viruses, such as for example the Klez worm, spread themselves. A deeper issue in preventing the faking of email addresses is preventing the faking of IP addresses, since, clearly, making sure that the IP  address is not forged can help considerably for verifying also the email address.  Similarly, when sending normal email messages, the user cannot be sure that the receiver indeed received the message and/or if he/she opened it or read it. Although there are already some solutions to this 2 nd problem, these solutions still have various remaining problems, so the problem has not been completely solved yet. The present invention solves the above problems by providing various solutions that preferably include improvement of the protocols and preferably include also methods for preventing theft of digital signatures.

Patent CA-2515332-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHERER RONALD J
IPC: B28B7/10
Filed: 2004-01-29
Abstract: Molds and processes that permit high-speed, mass production of retaining wall blocks having patterned or other processed front faces, as well as retaining wall blocks formed by such processes. The invention permits the front face of the block to be impressed with a pattern or otherwise directly processed, to allow the formation of pre-determined block front faces, while at the same time facilitating high-speed, high-volume production of blocks. A mirror image of the desired pattern can be created on a stripper shoe by selecting a desired three-dimensional surface from a naturally occurring or man made object and digitally scanning the selected three-dimensional pattern to create scanned data. The scanned data can then be used to machine a face of the stripper shoe that is the mirror image of the selected pattern.

Patent CA-2529714-A1 (CA)
Title: Connector
Inventor: STONE ROGER
IPC: F16B5/02
Filed: 2004-05-26
Abstract: A connector comprising an adapter (600) having a threaded bore (608) and a bushing (101) having an external thread (104) and an internal thread (102).  The adapter has a stop (605) on an outer surface to prevent rotation. The bushing is threaded into the adapter bore. A bolt (200) is threaded into a bushing bore (103) using the internal threads. As the bolt is turned the internal threads cause an interference fit between the bolt shank and the threads, temporarily preventing further insertion of the bolt. The bolt is then turned further causing the bushing to unscrew from the adapter toward the mounting surface (M) until the bushing bears upon the mounting surface. The adapter engages with part (P) thereby completely compensating for a gap between the part and a mounting surface. The adapter does not turn through engagement of the stop (65) with an immoveable part. As the bolt is turned further, the sacrificial internal threads are stripped to allow the bolt to be fully torqued into a mounting surface hole (MH).
