Patent CA-2409925-A1 (CA)
Title: Storage network cabling verification system
Inventor: SAWDY DON
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2001-04-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the proper cabling and identical device locations between two controllers (210, 212) in a RAID system. Each controller first obtains the port names to which it is attached. The list is then reviewed to determine that there are no duplicate entries. Once this step is completed, the controllers exchange their port name lists. The lists are compared to make sure they exactly match. Finally, the controllers exchange a map of the devices themselves present on two channels. The exchange device maps are compared and must be equal. The two device maps being equal indicate that each storage device is logged on to the network through both I/O ports and is available to each controller.

IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2002-11-05
Abstract: A system and method for analyzing and providing exception- based reports for machine data. The machine data is relayed to a remote syst em for automated analysis based on tests and parameters defined by an owner. If  any exceptions are detected in the data based on the operator-defined input, output is generated. The output may take the form of exception-based printed or electronic reports, or the exception information may be relayed to a hand held device, preferably maintained by service personnel at the work site.

Title: Undershot overflow filter
Inventor: WALLACE ALLAN K
IPC: B01D29/31
Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: A filter (10) for concentrating a fluid stream (72-74) containing particulate matter (74-76) or for filtering from a fluid stream certain material is described. The filter consists of a plurality of solid elements (a, b, c, d) in an array having gaps (g) between adjacent solid elements through which spill flow of the fluid passes. The fluid stream (72-74) and filter (10) are orientated with respect to each other such that the spill flow of fluid through adjacent gaps is bounded by a dividing streamline that terminates on a solid element intermediate adjacent gaps (g). The stream and filter elements are also arranged so that the incidence of the dividing stream line to the plane of the array is such that particulate matter larger than the gaps are deflected out of the spill flow between the gaps. To optimally maintain the incidence at least two chambers are located on the spill flow side of the filter. To further optimise the operation of the filter the one or ore chambers each have spill flow controls sized and positioned to allow spill flow to exit each chamber so as to maintain the incidence. An example of the use for the filter is given in concentrating sewage at locations where sewage overflow would otherwise occur.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un actionneur thermique vertical à un seul étage et de taille micrométrique avec courbure commandée, qui peut effectuer le mouvement rapide et répétable d'un dispositif optique de taille micrométrique décollé de la surface d'un substrat. Cet actionneur thermique vertical est monté sur la surface d'un substrat. Au moins un bras chaud possède une première extrémité ancrée sur cette surface et une extrémité libre située au dessus de cette surface. Un bras froid possède une première extrémité ancrée sur cette surface et une extrémité libre. Ce bras froid est situé au dessus du bras chaud par rapport à la surface.

Un élément couple mécaniquement et électriquement les extrémités libres des bras froid et chaud de façon que l'actionneur s'incurve généralement au niveau de la courbure de sorte que cet élément s'écarte du substrat lorsqu'on applique un courant sur le bras chaud au moins.
Patent CA-2419757-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OCHITWA CORY W
IPC: A01B73/04
Filed: 2003-02-25
Abstract: In a preferred embodiment of the invention an extension section of a frame is held down in its locked position by the same mechanism that folds and unfolds the frame extension. When the frame extension is in its locked down position, it bears against a limit stop that precludes further movement in an unfolding direction. An operating link that is pushed and pulled by a hydraulic cylinder to manipulate the frame extension is controlled in such a way by a guide member that the line of action of the link is directed transversely toward a guide surface of the guide when the frame extension is in its unfolded position. Thus, only a small amount of force is required from the hydraulic cylinder at that time to maintain the link in its locked position, since most of the load from the link is born by the guide surface at this time. In a preferred embodiment, the line of action of the link is approximately perpendicular to the guide surface.

Abstract: A pressure responsive relief valve is disposed in the tank vapor line to the engine inlet manifold and upstream of an electric flow control valve. The pressure responsive valve has a bleed orifice for providing limited flow for leak testing when the relief valve is closed; and, the relief valve is set for opening at a selected pressure differential to provide adequate vapor canister purge flow during engine operation. A differential pressure sensor is employed to read the pressure drop across the bleed orifice during leak testing and the flow determined from a lookup table for comparison with a threshold value to determine if leakage is present in the system.

Patent CA-2430307-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PAPPAS MICHAEL J
IPC: A61F2/28
Filed: 1995-10-10
Abstract: A tibia fixturing device comprises a metal tray formed with annularly spaced recesses in its underside at a depth of at least about 1.5 mm and from which a stem depends for axial insertion into a tibia conical cavity. The stem has a circular cylindrical portion proximal the tray and a conical portion distal the tray. Fins radially extend from the stem cylindrical portion and penetrate the tibia to provide some torsional resistance. Axially extending channels are formed about the stem periphery which channels have bottom surfaces parallel to the stem axis to provide further torsional resistance. The channels are arranged to not interlock with the cement in the axial direction to permit the cement to separate first from the device during axial removal of the device from the bone. The fins have inclined edges distal the tray and inclined radial outer edges to align and center the stem to the bone cavity edge. Cement in the tray recesses bends the tray to a tibia resected surface to provide major torsional resistance of the tray about the cavity longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Afin de mieux comprendre l'angiogenèse des tumeurs, on a mis au point de nouvelles techniques pour isoler les cellules endothéliales (EC) et évaluer les motifs d'expression des gènes. Lorsque l'on a comparé les transcrits provenant des EC dérivés des tissus colorectaux normaux et malins aux transcrits provenant des cellules non endothéliales, on a identifié plus de 170 gènes exprimés de façon prédominante dans l'endothélium. La comparaison entre l'endothélium normal et celui dérivé des tumeurs a montré 79 gènes exprimés de façon différentielle, y compris 46 qui ont été spécifiquement élevés dans l'endothélium associé à la tumeur. Des expériences avec des gènes représentatifs de ce groupe ont montré que la plupart ont été exprimés de façon similaire dans l'endothélium du cancer primaire du poumon, du sein, du cerveau ainsi que dans des lésions métastasiques du foie. Les résultats ont montré que chez les humains l'endothélium néoplasique et celui normal se distinguent au niveau moléculaire, ce qui peut avoir une influence importante sur le développement des thérapies anti-angiogéniques de l'avenir.
