Title: Hybrid system and method for offering in-center and online learning sessions
Inventor: VIAZANKO DUANE
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2007-04-02
Abstract: A system and method that instructs one or more students comprises an enrollment node that enrolls the one or more students in one or more educational programs that require attending a plurality of learning sessions. The plurality of learning sessions comprise an in-center learning session and an online learning session. An online learning node creates one or more online learning sessions, and one or more learning centers create one or more in-center learning sessions. A scheduling node schedules a In class learning session for the student at a first time instance and the same or another scheduling node schedules an online learning session for the student at a second time instance distinct from the first time instance. The first time instance can be before or after the second time instance. The online learning node delivers electronic instructional material to the student during the online learning session, and a learning center delivers instructional material during the in-center learning session.

Patent CA-2654636-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ASBAGHI HOOMAN
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2007-06-07
Abstract: A device is provided to protect the hypodermic needlepoint of a syringe from being dulled as it penetrates through the stopple of a fluid vial for the purpose of filling the syringe with fluid from the vial. Specifically, the device includes a blunt needle that covers the hypodermic needle and that interacts with the syringe to establish relative friction forces between them. Importantly, this friction force is less than the friction force subsequently established between the dull needle and the stopple. Thus, after the hypodermic syringe has been filled, and is withdrawn from the fluid vial, the stronger friction force between the stopple and the dull needle causes the dull needle to remain with the stopple as the hypodermic syringe is removed from the fluid vial.

Title: Modeling dough
Inventor: MILLER RICHARD E
IPC: C08L91/06
Filed: 1995-10-10
Abstract: A modeling dough comprising a polar polymeric resin, water, a gellant, and a filler provides a dough resistant to flaking, cracking, and crumbling. In the disclosed invention, the polymeric resin is gelled, thereby providing a water-based resin system that is not sticky yet very ductile. After the dough is air-dried, the components are bound into a solid, durable product. The filler accounts for a large portion of the volume of the dough, so the overall volume is not greatly affected by water loss upon drying. The dough is water-based and easy to wash from skin, carpets, and other surfaces.   Dyes and pigments can be easily incorporated into the formula. The dried product is sandable and paintable.

Abstract: Techniques for allocating and mapping resources in a wireless communication system are described. The system may use hop-ports to facilitate allocation and use of subcarriers. In one aspect, the hop-ports may be partitioned into multiple subzones, with each subzone including a configurable number of hop-ports. The hop-ports within each subzone may be permuted or shuffled based on a permutation function. After permutation, the hop-ports in all subzones may be mapped to the subcarriers based on local or global hopping. In another aspect, a set of hop-ports may be mapped to a set of subcarriers. A hop-port may be mapped to an unavailable subcarrier and may then be remapped to another available subcarrier. In yet another aspect, a set of hop-ports may be mapped to a set of subcarriers distributed (e.g., evenly) across all subcarriers but avoiding subcarriers in a reserved zone.

Title: Splash and spill resistant insulating lid
Inventor: HOOK DAVID B
IPC: B65D43/08
Filed: 2008-04-01
Abstract: A splash and spill resistant insulating lid for beverage containers comprising an insulated splash and spill barrier integrated into a cup lid combination. This is achieved by creating a barrier and/or labyrinth flow path, which buffers and deflects sloshing liquid. Accidental/incidental release of liquid is minimized and/or prevented while allowing the normal flow of liquid for drinking. These features of the SSRIL further create an insulating barrier to keep a cup's fluid hotter or cooler for a longer period of time, enhanced by using an appropriate insulating material combined with finite number of transfer holes that are of a specific shape and/or specific location and/or specific orientation to promote the formation of a surface tension film of fluid across the transfer holes, creating additional barriers against the escape and exchange of both fluid and vapor outside the cup.
