Title: Systeme et procede de verification de l'installation d'un dispositif de controle de niveau de reservoir
Inventor: CUPPLES KENNETH ALAN
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2005-08-10
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de vérifier l'installation d'un dispositif de contrôle de niveau de réservoir et le chemin de données utilisé par celui-ci. Le dispositif de contrôle est activé dès que l'installateur a terminé l'installation du dispositif de contrôle de niveau de réservoir. Le dispositif de contrôle effectue un autotest et envoie les informations à un centre de traitement de données. La transmission est de préférence effectuée par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau de communication cellulaire. Dès que le centre de traitement de données reçoit les informations du dispositif de contrôle de niveau de réservoir nouvellement installé, celui-ci génère un message texte qui est envoyé à l'installateur pour vérifier que l'installation est réussie. Le message du centre de traitement de données est de préférence un message électronique pouvant être livré à un dispositif de messagerie sans fil porté par l'installateur. La génération et la transmission du message de vérification doivent être effectuées immédiatement, tout du moins dans un délai de cinq minutes, afin que l'installateur reçoive rapidement le retour de l'information.

Title: Catalytic reactor
Inventor: JIBB RICHARD JOHN
IPC: B01J8/04
Filed: 2005-08-30
Abstract: A catalytic reactor (1) is provided with one or more reaction zones each formed of set(s) of reaction tubes (26, 34) containing a catalyst (27, 35) to promote chemical reaction within a feed stream. The reaction tubes (26, 34) are of helical configuration and are arranged in a substantially coaxial relationship to form a coil-like structure. Heat exchangers and steam generators can be formed by similar tube arrangements. In such manner, the reaction zone(s) and hence, the reactor (1) is compact and the pressure drop through components is minimized. The resultant compact form has improved heat transfer characteristics and is far easier to thermally insulate than prior art compact reactor designs. Various chemical reactions are contemplated within such coil~like structures such that as steam methane reforming followed by water-gas shift. The coil-like structures can be housed within annular chambers (90, 92, 24) of a cylindrical housing (2) that also provide flow paths for various heat exchange fluids to heat and cool components.
Patent CA-2579050-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOLOMIETS SERGEY V
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2005-08-31
Abstract: A handheld electronic device with a reduced QWERTY keyboard and disambiguation software. As a user enters keystrokes, the device outputs a default output and a number of variants from which a user can choose. The output is based largely upon the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry, and when initiating an activity session on a word such as during editing, the display outputs variants of the entire word being edited, rather than providing as variants only those parts of a word that are being edited.  The device also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. In certain predefined circumstances, the disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided.

Title: Treatment of cns disorders associated with mutations in genes encoding lysosomal enzymes
Inventor: WUSTMAN BRANDON
IPC: C12Q1/34
Filed: 2006-06-08
Abstract: Described is a method for treating an individual having a neurological disorder with an associated mutation or mutations in a gene encoding a lysosomal enzyme. Specifically, the individual is administered a specific pharmacological chaperone for the lysosomal enzyme which increases trafficking of the protein from the ER to the lysosome in neural cells, with or without concomitantly increasing enzyme activity in neural cells. Restoration of trafficking relieves cell stress and other toxicities associated with accumulation of mutant proteins. Restoration of enzyme activity relieves substrate accumulation and pathologies associated with lipid accumulation. In a specific embodiment, the neurological disorder is Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism which is associated with mutations in glucocerebrosidase.
