Patent CA-2534021-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAYLOR PHILIP LOUIS
IPC: C09D167/08
Filed: 2004-07-21
Abstract: An autoxidisable architectural coating composition suitable for application to surfaces found in and around buildings at ambient temperatures and in natural daylight by unsophisticated users having no respiratory protection wherein surface autoxidation of the composition is promoted by a combination of low concentrations of metal ions (especially manganese or vanadium) and at least one photoinitiator. The composition avoids the need to use more than trace amounts cobalt ions which are rumoured to be carcinogenic yet achieves adequately fast rates of autoxidation. Preferably the use of cobalt is avoided altogether. The use of the low concentrations of the other metal ions reduces discolouration of the compositions often to levels below what is achieved using conventional cobalt promoters. It also improves gloss. Also a modification in which surface autoxidation is promoted by a combination of a photoinitiator and trace amounts of cobalt ions in the absence of other surface autoxidation promoting metal ions. Finally, a method for applying the autoxidisable coatings to surfaces under ambient temperatures in which they are subjected to natural daylight or similar low energy irradiation.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for accessing and treating regions of the body are disclosed herein. Using an endoscopic device having an automatically controllable proximal and a selectively steerable distal portion, the device generally may be advanced into the body through an opening. The distal portion is selectively steered to assume a selected curve along a desired path within the body which avoids contact with tissue while the proximal portion is automatically controlled to assume the selected curve of the distal portion.  The endoscopic device can then be used for accessing various regions of the body which are typically difficult to access and treat through conventional surgical techniques because the device is unconstrained by "straight-line"  requirements. Various applications can include accessing regions of the brain, thoracic cavity, including regions within the heart, peritoneal cavity, etc., which are difficult to reach using conventional surgical procedures.

Title: Method for reducing load of traffic plane function
Inventor: WU YAJUAN
IPC: H04W4/24
Filed: 2005-08-10
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for reducing the load of Traffic Plane Function (TPF). The key of the method is that, according to the obtained indication on whether to perform charging, the TPF determines whether to perform charging operation for the service data flow using appropriate charging rules, if yes, the TPF  performs the charging operation for the counting result of the service data flow and submits the charging information to the charging associated entities; otherwise, the TPF  does not perform the charging operation for the counting result of the service data flow. By applying this invention, operation in the TPF is optimized such that the TPF  only needs to perform necessary charging instead of performing charging operation for the service data flow which does not need to be charged. As a result, the load of the TPF is reduced, so is the load of network devices, and system efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, it is possible to avoid the waste of network resources aroused by various charging policies adopted by the operators, e.g., free of charge policy.

Title: Access channel with constrained arrival times
Inventor: FERNANDEZ-CORBATON IVAN JESUS
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2005-03-08
Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for configuring and accessing a random access channel in a CDMA communication system are disclosed. The number of users supported by a random access channel can be optimized by assigning a distinct time of arrival to each of a plurality of users. Each of the users can be time synchronized and can transmit data at a time that compensates for a propagation delay to allow the data to arrive at the destination receiver at the assigned time. In a CDMA system, each of the users can transmit data that is spread with the same spreading code, provided the cross correlation properties of the code are sufficient to allow identification of a source that is time offset relative to another user. The time of arrival can be determined based on the number of active users, and can be assigned as often as each transmission by each user.
