Patent CA-2297738-A1 (CA)
Title: Solid-state energy storage module employing integrated interconnect board
Inventor: TURGEON THOMAS A
IPC: H01M50/583
Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved electrochemical energy storage device. The electrochemical energy storage device includes a number of solid-state, thin-film electrochemical cells which are selectively interconnected in series or parallel through use of an integrated interconnect board. The interconnect board is typically disposed within a sealed housing which also houses the electrochemical cells, and includes a first contact and a second contact respectively coupled to first and second power terminals of the energy storage device. The interconnect board advantageously provides for selective series or parallel connectivity with the electrochemical cells, irrespective of electrochemical cell position within the housing. In one embodiment, a sheet of conductive material is processed by employing a known milling, stamping, or chemical etching technique to include a connection pattern which provides for flexible and selective interconnecting of individual electrochemical cells within the housing, which may be a hermetically sealed housing. Fuses and various electrical and electro-mechanical devices, such as bypass, equalization, and communication devices for example, may also be mounted to the interconnect board and selectively connected to the electrochemical cells.

Patent CA-2301352-A1 (CA)
IPC: F16B13/06
Filed: 2000-03-20
Abstract: A sleeve bolt for insertion in a hole delimited by a wall comprises a threaded fastener and an expansion member. The threaded fastener has a stem that includes a proximal cylindrical shank and a distal threaded section. The shank has substantially the diameter of the hole defines at a distal end thereof a conical expander portion. The expansion member comprises a distal threaded member and a proximal expansion wedge, the threaded member being threadably engaged to the threaded section of the stem. The expansion wedge has a proximal end adapted, upon axial displacement of the expansion member towards the shank resulting from a rotation of the stem, to engage the conical expander portion such as to expand the proximal end of the expansion wedge outwardly into engagement with the wall. The expansion wedge fractionally engages the wall upon introduction of the stem in the hole, whereas the threaded member is spaced from the wall. The threaded member comprises a distal conical section which tapers towards the expansion wedge and which is adapted to displace towards and relative to both the expander portion and the expansion wedge such that the conical section causes a distal end of the expansion wedge to expand outwardly into engagement with the wall.

Patent CA-2306946-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved query execution in query processing systems
Inventor: ZILIO DANIEL C
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: A query processing system having a data manager, and a query manager also includes a buffer. The query manager calls the data manager to access data based on a query. Where there is no predicate check or consumption operation on the record accessed, the data manager will notionally return the record to the query manager. However, the data manager accomplishes the return by writing the relevant portions of the record to a buffer. The data manager maintains stabilization of the page containing the record while the buffer is being written to. The data manager continues to access records on the stabilized page and to write such records to the buffer where appropriate. The query manager retrieves the records from the buffer after the data manager has completed its operation resulting from the query manager call.

Title: Internet protocol telephony
Inventor: LEE CHINMEI CHEN
IPC: H04W8/10
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a connection to a customer telecommunications station, having Internet service, but not currently connected to the Internet. In response to receipt by the Internet of a call to that station, the station is located for the purpose of notifying the station of the call. If the called station is a wireless station, the paging message includes an indication that the page is for an Internet Protocol, (IP) telephone call. For wireline stations, other alerting techniques are used to indicate that a station is being called on an Internet call. In response to receiving the notification, the called station automatically logs on to the Internet, and is assigned a temporary Inter-net Protocol address, (IPA). A connection is then established between the access point of the caller on the Internet, and the access point of the called customer. Advantageously, an Internet subscriber need not be presently connected to the Internet to receive IP telephone calls.
Patent CA-2311768-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FRIEDLER ASSAF
IPC: C07K7/06
Filed: 1998-11-26
Abstract: L'invention porte sur la conception et la synthèse d'analogues peptidiques cycliques de squelette qui imitent de manière fonctionnelle la région du signal de localisation (RSL) nucléaire des macromolécules. Les principes de cette invention sont illustrés par des séquences RSL des protéines MA du virus de l'immunodéficience humaine de type 1, des séquences de type Vpr, Tat, RSL de la protéine Vif du VIH-1. L'invention porte également sur la découverte d'un nouveau peptide cyclique de squelette, extrêmement puissant, appelé BCvir, qui inhibe le transfert nucléaire avec une valeur IC¿50? de 35 nM. Cette capacité inhibitrice est à comparer à 12 µM présenté par le peptide RSL MA VIH-1 parent linéaire. Il s'est avéré que BCvir réduisait également la propagation du VIH-1 de 75 % dans des lymphocytes T de culture, ne présentant pas de division, infectés, et qu'il était relativement résistant à la digestion trypsique. Ces propriétés permettent d'utiliser ces analogues peptidiques cycliques de squelette de RSL ou ces séquences de type RSL comme candidats pour de nouveaux médicaments à partir du transfert nucléaire bloquant des génomes viraux.

Abstract: A rock breaking cartridge 10 holds liquid 42 in s fore tube 40 plugged by a plug 46 held by a pin 52. A rear tube 16 holds a propellant 18 behind a cap 30 checked by a pin 34. A gland 20, having an elongate passage and a diametrical hole, closes a rear of the tube 16. An initiator assembly 58 has a fore plug body 24 and an initiator mounted behind the plug body. A pin 26.1 in the diametrical hole checks the plug body and separates the initiator from the propellant. The pins 26.1, 34 and 52 are removed and the cartridge is inserted in a hole in rock to be broken. The initiator is pushed into proximity to the propellent and the cartridge is forced down the hole. The liquid is forced out to surround the tube 16. The initiator is triggered electrically to initiate the propellant which breaks the rock by sound waves propagated by the liquid. Prior to use, the plug body checked in the gland renders the cartridge safe.
