Patent CA-2253167-A1 (CA)
Title: Message transfer system
Inventor: O'DONOVAN JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: H04M7/12
Filed: 1998-11-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method for transferring a message from a calling party to an unavailable telephonically called party. The method comprises the steps of inititating a call to the called party over a communications channel, identifying that the called party is not available and instructing the calling entity to record the message at the calling entity and after recording to transmit the message to the called entity as a data message via a data channel for reception by the called entity. The system reduces the use of the voice/telephone communications networks by allowing a voice message to be transmitted through data channels, reducing the amount of voice traffic on the voice communication lines. The fact that the original voice message was actually stored with the calling entity after the telephone voice communication had been discontinued is transparent to both the calling party and the called party. Greetings for the called party can be stored at a messaging system of the calling entity.
Patent CA-2255055-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALCHESKY PAUL S
IPC: A61L2/26
Filed: 1997-06-12
Abstract: A countertop decontamination unit (A) has a decontamination chamber (10) which contains items to be sterilized, disinfected, or otherwise microbially decontaminated. A catheter (60) has an initial curve shape (62A). However, the catheter (60) is straightened in use and returns to a shape (62B). During a decontamination cycle, one or more porous clips (64) are disposed into frictional contact with the catheter. The clip (64) holds the catheter in the initial or undersized shape (62A) during the decontamination process. In the decontamination process, the decontamination fluid is heated at least to a temperature that resets the shape memory of the catheter (e.g., 40 ~C - 60 ~C). The clip (64) has a sufficient porosity that microbial decontamination fluid penetrates through the clip to wet portions of the item surface in frictional contact with the clip assuring total microbial decontamination of the catheter. Once the decontamination is complete and the catheter is cooled, it holds the reset initial shape (62A).

Title: Method and apparatus for efficient representation of variable length identifiers in a distributed object system
Inventor: CAVANAUGH KEN M
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 1998-12-04
Abstract: In a CORBA distributed object system, potential object name ambiguities in the Portable Object Adapter are resolved without using variable-length object identifiers by translating the variable length identifiers into a fixed length compact identifier, such as a integer. The mapping for persistent objects is maintained on an ID server with persistent state and the mappings are ultimately written to a file. A server IDL interface is defined to the ID server which interface includes a method that accepts a variable length fully qualified name and returns the compact identifier. The method assigns an identifier if one does not exist. Another method accepts the identifier and returns the name.

Title: Network mute feature in wireless telecommunications systems
Inventor: WILSON RANDALL JOE
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 1999-07-29
Abstract: A network mute feature deployed in a wireless telecommunications system allows a mobile user to eliminate ambient environmental and wireless transmission noise. Upon activation of the network mute feature, a voice path interconnecting the mobile unit to a party served by the public switched telephone network (PSTN) is opened. A portion of the open voice path is subsequently interconnected to a noise generator so that the PSTN party hears unobtrusive background noise indicating that the mobile user is still "on the line" and can hear transmissions by the party. The PSTN party, however, cannot hear noises associated with mobile user's environment or wireless transmission while the network mute feature is activated.  Advantageously, the network mute feature enhances the ability of mobile users to participate in calls in which the quality of transmission (e.g., a conference call) is important.

Abstract: In projecting radioactive rays for sanitizing food or the like, an irradiating condition which attains a uniform dose of radioactive rays for the entire objects to be exposed is automatically determined. An X-ray CT unit 6 captures a sectional image of an object to be exposed 2, and an irradiating condition determining section 8 acquires the density distribution of the object to be exposed 2 based on the captured sectional image. The irradiating condition determining section 8 then searches for a particular irradiating condition under which the dose distribution of the radioactive rays in the object to be exposed 2 falls within a predetermined range.      An irradiation controlling section 16 controls a radioactive ray irradiating unit 14 based on the irradiating condition, and projects radioactive rays to the object to be exposed 2 in accordance with the irradiation condition when the object is transported to the radioactive ray irradiating unit 14 by a belt conveyor.

Title: Artificial sensibility
Inventor: LUNDBORG GOERAN
IPC: A61F2/72
Filed: 1998-04-29
Abstract: Loss or absence of sensibility in the hand, foot or other part of the body can constitute a severe handicap after injury or in disease. Also when hand prostheses are used following amputation, injuries lack of sensibility in the prostheses constitutes a major problem. The prevailing invention refers to a new principle for artificial sensibility by sense substitution (replacement of a lost sense function by utilization of an alternate sense). The primary aim is to, by using the hearing sense, achieve sensibility in hand prostheses or hands which have lost their sensibility by injury or disease. According to this principle vibrotactile stimuli to the fingers are registrated by sensors of microphone type, placed at finger level, the signals being processed and transformated into acoustic stimuli. By using this principle the patient can "feel with the hearing sense" hereby utilizing the hearing sense to register and identify the surface, texture, density and shape of the item which is touched.
