Patent CA-2407867-A1 (CA)
Title: Web velocity modulator
Inventor: MCCABE JOHN A
IPC: B29C65/08
Filed: 2002-10-10
Abstract: A process and apparatus related to a workstation adjacent to a traveling web including a device for intermittently performing an operation affecting the web.      An important application involves ultrasonically welding multiple layers of a traveling web. First and second rollers on opposite sides of the workstation are simultaneously shifted in a direction counter to the machine direction each time a bonding force is applied.      The overall running speed in the machine remains at a constant velocity due to the resultant festooning effect and thus the dwell time for bonding is increased. Thus the effective operating speed of processed having finite limits may be increased at least 33%. The first and second rollers are eccentrically rotationally mounted, respectively, on third and fourth hollow rollers which are provided with eccentrically positioned hollow cylindrical openings which, in turn, are mounted, respectively, on shafts positioned perpendicularly to the machine direction. Shifting of the rollers is effected by simultaneous rotation of the rollers. Preferably, the first and second rollers are driven synchronously in a first rotational direction and the third and fourth rollers are driven synchronously in the opposite rotational direction.

Title: Managing compatibility of software in distributed systems
Inventor: RABINOVITCH SHLOMO
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2001-05-30
Abstract: Systems and methods for managing versions of software components in a distributed system are disclosed. One aspect of the system is an application bank that stores various versions of applications that are designed to communicate with corresponding version of software running on a component element. Remote clients desiring to communicate with the component element determine the version of the application that corresponds to the version running on the component element. The remote client then downloads the appropriate version of the application (which may include multiple application programs) if it does not currently exist on remote client machine. A further aspect of the system is that the component element is a network element in a telecommunications system and the application is an element management application. In a still further aspect of the system, the element management application comprises a user interface component, an application component, and a communication component, all of which are separately versioned. A client desiring to execute the element management application downloads the appropriate version of each individual component if required.

Patent CA-2415173-A1 (CA)
Title: Neuromuscular monitoring using phonomyography
Inventor: MATHIEU PIERRE
IPC: A61N1/08
Filed: 2002-12-24
Abstract: Neuromuscular monitoring, the monitoring of muscle relaxation, is as essential as controlling blood pressure or heart rate during surgery. A  patient who is extubated when still partially relaxed is at great risk of respiratory complications. Also, a patient incompletely relaxed during surgery can endanger the success of surgery. Since muscle relaxants are the single most important cost factor in anesthetic drug selection, neuromuscular monitoring should help to titrate the exact dosing of muscle relaxants during surgery.    Further application of neuromuscular monitoring are in intensive care where peripheral neuropathies with impaired muscle function play an essential role in morbidity of long term ventilation and repetitive and objective neuromuscular monitoring could help to control and monitor this problem.      Unfortunately, despite these facts, knowledge about the action of muscle relaxants is still quite limited and the tools to measure their function in daily routine are even more limited. In the ideal world, (a) we would be able to easily monitor neuromuscular function for all physiologically important muscles in a non-invasive and reliable way, (b) we would have a neuromuscular method and easy-to-use monitoring device giving precise and reliable information about the state of neuromuscular transmission at any given time during surgery, and finally (c) we would have established reliable data for any given muscle relaxant of onset, offset and peak effect for different muscles. Phonomyographic method and device for neuromuscular monitoring have been developed in view of reaching these objectives.

Title: System
Inventor: WILLIAMS MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G11B27/34
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: A system for facilitating development of information material comprises a material generation apparatus operable to generate information material and metadata describing the content of the information material and to store the information material on a data carrier and to store the metadata separately in a data store. The system includes at least one metadata node operable to process the metadata, and a data communications network for providing a facility for communicating the metadata to and from the metadata node. The data communications network and the material generation apparatus each include a wireless data communicator for providing a wireless data communications link with the material generation apparatus and the network. The wireless data communications link provides a facility for communicating the metadata to the metadata node via the network, when the generation apparatus is within range for data communications via the wireless link. Accordingly, a facility for producing information material such as a/v material is provided with an improved work flow, because metadata generated with the a/v material can be communicated systematically to an ingestion processor or the like separately via the wireless link when in range. Navigation and editing of the material is thereby facilitated.

Abstract: A nested rolled paper product is shown in which raised and depressed areas a re formed in a sheet. The depressed areas may comprise square shapes, rounded shapes or other geometric shapes that are capable of aligning or nesting in registration when the sheet is rolled to form a reduced diameter rolled product. A high loft through air drying fabric is employed to imprint a high  caliper pattern into the sheet in such a way as to nest raised portions, resulting in a more compact product having a minimized roll diameter. Groove s or channels in the sheet are capable of aligning as the sheet is rolled. The  resulting rolled product may be toilet tissue, paper towels, or other simila r paper products. The final rolled product achieves a minimum roll diameter fo r a fixed roll length.

Title: Method for manufacturing highly-crystallized oxide powder
Inventor: NAGASHIMA KAZURO
IPC: C01F17/241
Filed: 2003-07-30
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a highly-crystallized oxide powder, wherein an oxide powder is produced by ejecting a starting material powder comprising at least one metal element and/or semimetal element, which will become a constituent component of the oxide, into a reaction vessel together with a carrier gas through a nozzle; and heating the starting material powder at a temperature higher than the decomposition temperature or reaction temperature thereof and not lower than (Tm/2)°C, where Tm°C stands for a melting point of the oxide, in a state in which the starting material powder is dispersed in a gas phase at a concentration of not higher than 10 g/L. In the above method, the starting material powder may be mixed and dispersed in the carrier gas by using a dispersing machine prior to being ejected into the reaction vessel through a nozzle. The resultant oxide powder has a high crystallinity, a high dispersibility, and a uniform particle size, without introducing impurities thereinto, by a low-cost and simple production equipment.

Abstract: A method of combustor cycle air flow adjustment for a gas turbine engine to solve the problem of a higher flame temperature in the combustor, affecting the emission levels when a heat-recuperated air flow cycle is used to increa se the compressed air temperature. In low emission combustors emission levels a re significantly dependent on the primary combustion zone flame temperature. flame temperature in a primary combustion zone of a combustor can be maintained substantially the same whether the gas turbine engine is used to operate as a simple air flow cycle engine or as a heat-recuperated air flow cycle engine by changing a geometry of an air flow passage and thereby changing distribution of a total air mass flow between an air mass flow for a combustion and an air mass flow for cooling. In an embodiment of the present invention changing the number and size of perforations in an impingement cooling skin serves duel purposes both as a cooling device for cooling the combustor wall and as a valve means for combustor cycle air flow adjustment.
