Title: Internet on hold
Inventor: GOLDMAN STEVEN HOWARD
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1997-03-03
Abstract: A user connected to the Internet (102), over his or her telephone line (105), through an Internet Access Provider (IAP) (104) can place the Internet connection on hold to take an incoming telephone call from a calling party at a telephone set (110).

This information is then transmitted by the IAP to the user's terminal (101). Upon an affirmative decision to take the call, indicated to the IAP by means of a "click" on the screen of the user's terminal, the call to the IAP  is placed on hold and the incoming call is connected to the user's telephone set (111).

Title: Anode installation apparatus and method
Inventor: TRUDEAU ADRIEN R
IPC: C23F13/06
Filed: 1998-11-06
Abstract: An anode installation apparatus has an pilot auger to which an anode may be attached, plus a cylindrical drive tube which engages the pilot auger when rotated in one direction, such that the drive tube is drawn downward into the ground along with the pilot auger. When the pilot auger has been augered to a desired depth below ground, carbonaceous material may be introduced into the drive tube so as to surround the anode. The drive tube is then rotated in the opposite direction, whereupon it will disengage from the pilot auger and may be pulled out of the ground, and the cavity thus formed in the ground may be backfilled. The drive shaft may be re-used for installation of additional anodes.

Patent CA-2275093-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COHEN BERI
IPC: G01N29/44
Filed: 1999-06-16
Abstract: A profile of a rack, that may have zero, one, or a plurality of containers may be obtained using an ultrasonic sensor. The sensor emits a plurality of ultrasonic bursts and the rack is transported under the sensor at a slew speed that allows the sensor to detect at least first and second echoes from each of the bursts. Data points, corresponding to each of the first and second echoes, are generated and the data points are captured in a memory device. The data points, generally reflecting the levels of the rack and any containers, are processed to dynamically and non-invasively (i.e., without physically contacting the liquid with a probe) determine information about the container types, whether any container is capped, and, if one or more containers are uncapped, the liquid level in the uncapped containers. This profiling may be used in a variety of devices and is particularly useful in a sample handler in an automated analytical instrument, where the ultrasonic sensor may be positioned above a rack transport mechanism.

Title: Up-sampling filter for a down conversion system
Inventor: PHILLIPS LARRY
IPC: G06T5/20
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: An HDTV down conversion system including apparatus for forming a set of low resolution down-sampled pixel values corresponding to a current frame of a video signal from a set of low resolution pixel values corresponding to a residual image of a current frame of the video signal and from a set of down-sampled low resolution pixel values corresponding to reference frames of the video signal.  The apparatus includes a memory for storing the set of down-sampled low resolution pixel values. An up-sampling processor receives from the memory and uses Lagrangian interpolation to convert the set of down-sampled low resolution pixel values corresponding to the reference frame of the video signal into a set of up-sampled low resolution pixel values corresponding to the reference frame of the video signal. A summing processor adds the set of low resolution pixel values corresponding to the residual image of the current frame of the video signal to the set of up-sampled low resolution pixel values corresponding to the reference frame of the video signal to form a set of low resolution pixel values corresponding to the current frame of the video signal. A decimating processor deletes selected ones of the set of low resolution pixel values corresponding to the current frame to generate the set of low resolution down-sampled pixel values corresponding to the current frame of the video signal.

Title: Method for using an elevator installation
Inventor: FRIEDLI PAUL
IPC: B66B1/46
Filed: 2000-01-25
Abstract: This device allows an implicit or explicit input of destination calls on elevator installations. After a corresponding inquiry by a detector (5), an information transmitter (1) transmits data (6). This data (6) can contain direct information about the desired destination floor and/or serve as identification of the elevator user and thereby enable access to information about the destination floor which is stored in a memory (8). The memory (8) is contained in a processing unit (9) of an elevator control (10). Communication between the detector (5) and the information transmitter (1) takes place, for example, without contact. Using the received data (6) the destination floor is evaluated in the processing unit (9) and communicated to the elevator control (10). The assignment is communicated to the passenger on a display (18). The process of inputting a call takes place automatically and independent of the orientation of the information transmitter (1). To change the floor proposed by the processing unit (9) an input device (19) is provided which can also be used to choose the type of preselection of the destination floor.

Patent CA-2302516-A1 (CA)
Title: Child resistant lighter
Inventor: FRIGIERE RENE
IPC: F23Q2/34
Filed: 1998-09-01
Abstract: A lighter (10) of the disposable type, ignition of which requires depression of an actuator (16) that is resistant to the manipulations of unintended users. The lighter (10) is normally maintained in a position (figure 2) that prevents depression of the actuator (10) through the incorporation of a mechanism ( 18, 20, 52, 56) that increases the difficulty of operation. The safety mechanism (18, 20, 52, 56) requires displacement in two directions in order to allow full depression of the actuator and activation of an ignition means (22). When the mechanism is so displaced through the application of force by a user, it cannot remain displaced without continuous application of such force and will return to the normal, blocking, position when the force is removed.
