Patent CA-2482969-C (CA)
Inventor: BARTHEL JAMES S
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2003-04-11
Granted: 2011-09-27
Abstract: The dilation balloon of the subject invention preferably comprises a balloon portion mounted about a shaft that, when inflated, produces a configuration comprising a tapered distal end and a proximal end or butt that is substantially flat (preferably truncated) and is adapted to generally conform with the outer contours of an endoscope through which it is introduced when the balloon is pulled back against the endoscope face. The close engagement of the subject balloon catheter and endoscope, when forming a balloon-scope train, enables the scope to more readily navigate strictures and tortuous body lumen, as well as allows the balloon to act as a lens for viewing anatomical structure within the body lumen, such as tumors, strictures, and the inner luminal wall surface itself.

Title: Pet food product and method of producing same
Inventor: RAYNER MICHAEL G
IPC: A23K1/18
Filed: 2003-09-11
Granted: 2009-06-30
Abstract: A pet food product is produced having a coloured exterior that simulates the appearance of real meat that has been imparted a marinated or grilled appearance. The product may be manufactured using a vegetarian (meat free) formulation or a formulation combining meat with dry proteinaceous materials.  The ingredients are processed to form an emulsion-like mixture, which is rapidly heated in a confined zone to allow the protein to coagulate. An injector/shredder assembly is positioned in the zone to disrupt and shred the coagulated product mass and inject a colourant. The colourant adheres to some of the exterior surfaces of the final product to create a simulated grilled or roasted appearance.

Filed: 2004-03-18
Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining charges in real time for value-added services in a telecommunication network having an intelligent network structure. According to said method, a caller selects a value-added service by dialling an associated destination directory number. Said destination directory number is detected in an intelligent network element of the telecommunication network and is converted into a special access call number for the value-added service. A connection is then created between the intelligent network element and the value-added service provider, using said access call number, the value-added service provider transmitting the valid tariff for using the requested value-added service to the mobile radio network operator in the form of a new destination directory number for the requested value-added service. The new destination directory number is evaluated in the intelligent network element, and a connection is created between the caller and the value-added service by means of the new destination directory number, applying the stated tariff.

Title: Receiver spatial processing for eigenmode transmission in a mimo system
Inventor: KETCHUM JOHN W
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2004-09-29
Granted: 2012-03-13
Abstract: For eigenmode transmission with minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver spatial processing, a transmitter performs spatial processing on NS data symbol streams with steering vectors to transmit the streams on NSspatial channels of a MIMO channel. The steering vectors are estimates of transmitter steering vectors required to orthogonalize the spatial channels. A receiver derives a spatial filter based on an MMSE criterion and with an estimate of the MIMO channel response and the steering vectors. The receiver (1) obtains NR received symbol streams from NR receive antennas, (2) performs spatial processing on the received symbol streams with the spatial filter to obtain NS  filtered symbol streams, (3) performs signal scaling on the filtered symbol streams with a scaling matrix to obtain NS recovered symbol streams, and (4) processes the NS recovered symbol streams to obtain NS decoded data streams for the NS data streams sent by the transmitter.
