Patent CA-2536593-A1 (CA)
Title: Retainer arrangement for engagement with the end of an elongated article, such as a firearm or related accessory
Inventor: PUNZEL WILLIAM H
IPC: A47B81/00
Filed: 2006-02-15
Abstract: A retainer arrangement for selectively engaging the end of an article includes a cradle member having an open recess configured to receive the article at a location adjacent the end of the article, and a retainer member that is movable between an open position in which the retainer member allows the article to be placed into or removed from the recess, and a closed position in which the retainer member maintains the article within the recess. The retainer member is releasably engaged with the cradle member when in the closed position, and engages the article to prevent outward movement of the article from the recess. The member has a pair of arms that define the recess, and also includes an upper wall above the pair of arms. The retainer member is pivotably mounted to the upper wall of the cradle member for movement between the open and closed positions, and is formed of a resilient material to enable the retainer member to stretch when moved to its closed position, to enable the retainer member to be moved into engagement with a latching arrangement carried by the cradle member.

Title: Method and apparatus for handling calls in a packet network
Inventor: ESLAMBOLCHI HOSSEIN
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 2006-04-07
Abstract: Method and apparatus for handling calls in a packet network is described. In one example, call requests are received at a network element. For each call request of the call requests: A dialed number associated with the call request is identified. A current number of calls established by the packet network for the dialed number is determined. The current number of established calls is compared to a threshold number of calls for the dialed number (e.g., a threshold call volume). The network element responds to the call request with a busy tone in response to the current number of calls exceeding the threshold. The call request is forwarded from the network element in response to the current number of calls satisfying the threshold.

Title: Motion detecting system for alarm device
Inventor: BILODEAU MICHEL
IPC: G01P13/00
Filed: 2006-05-25
Abstract: A motion detecting system is attachable to an object for enabling and disabling an alarm flow of electrical current from a power source for actuating an alarm device. The system has a back plate with a substantially flat surface and a magnet freely pivotally mounted thereupon for generating a pivoting magnetic field that pivots with magnet in response to a motion of the object or of the system itself. System is set in an armed state by an electric pulse which causes at least one electrical contact is engaged by magnetic field in a first state to be set as an armed contact. When motion occurs, magnetic field pivots with magnet and armed contact in first state enters second state in which alarm flow is enabled for actuating alarm device. Contacts are spaced such that at least one contact is always engageable in first state.

Title: Method and system for mitigating threats and hoaxes perpetrated through a mail system
Inventor: QUINE DOUGLAS B
IPC: G01N21/65
Filed: 2006-07-05
Abstract: A method is provided for identifying mail pieces which may contain a suspicious (biohazardous/chemical agents or hoax materials). The method includes the steps of (i) causing particulate material to collect in a first region of the mail piece; (ii) producing a first content profile indicative of the internal contents of the mail piece; (iii) comparing the first content profile to a predefined baseline profile for determining whether the first content profile indicates the presence of a particulate material in the first region of the mail piece; and out-sorting a mail piece in response to the indicator. To ensure that other mail piece print, or physical characteristics, are not mistakenly identified as particulate material, steps (i) - (iii) may be repeated with certain modifications. These changes are directed to causing particulate material to collect in a second region of the mail piece envelope and comparing a newly developed second content profile with the first content profile to ascertain whether the particulate material is capable of movement, i.e., from the first to the second regions. In yet another embodiment of the inventive method and system, other detection schemes are employed which combine at least two non-specific triggering mechanisms to mitigate the instances of "false positive" indications. That is, by combining at least two such detection schemes, the probability of an accurate/valid assessment is dramatically increased.

Title: Wireless node location mechanism responsive to observed propagation characteristics of wireless network infrastructure signals
Inventor: DAVI GREGG SCOTT
IPC: G01S3/02
Filed: 2005-02-28
Abstract: A wireless node location mechanism that dynamically adapts to changes to a surrounding physical environment that affect the propagation of radio signals.  The wireless node location mechanism assesses radio signals from transmitters associated with a wireless node location infrastructure to adjust one or more parameters used to estimate location of a wireless node. In one implementation, path loss exponents are re-computed based on the signals transmitted between infrastructure radio transceivers. These path loss exponents are used, in one implementation, to compute the distance between a wireless node and a given infrastructure radio transceiver and, ultimately, to determine the location of the wireless node based on triangulation. In one implementation, path loss exponents are computed on demand based on the signals observed between infrastructure radios that detect the wireless node whose location is to be estimated.
Patent CA-2563408-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FROSTEGARD JOHAN
IPC: A61K39/395
Filed: 2005-04-15
Abstract: Atherosclerosis can be viewed as a response to injury and it is not atherosclerosis per se that is serious but instead factors leading to rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. In the present invention we have identified such factors. A decreased binding of Annexing V to the endothelium was seen in patients with a history of atherothrombosis. The use of native Annexin V or an N-terminal fragment as an active component or a subfraction of immunoglobulins to manufacture a pharmaceutical composition is proposed to improve said binding. The use of Annexin V, N-terminal fragments or immunoglobulins to increase the Annexin V-binding to carotid plaque represents novel mechanism for preventing atherothrombosis.

Abstract: A sender-side process directed to processing an electronic message destined for a recipient, comprising solving a computational problem involving at least a portion of the message, thereby to produce a solution to the problem. Optionally, a degree of effort associated with solving the problem may be assessed and the message is further processed in accordance with the assessed degree of effort. Further processing refers to determining whether the degree of effort was within a range set by the sender or the recipient and if not, the computational problem is adjusted and solved again. The message is then transmitted to a recipient, who is informed of both the solution to the problem and the problem itself. The recipient executes a recipient-side process, which includes, upon receipt of the message: assessing the degree of effort associated with generation of the message using its knowledge of the problem and the solution; and further processing the message in accordance with the assessed degree of effort.  High and low degrees of effort, respectively, will point to electronic messages having high and low legitimacy, respectively.
