Title: Computer readable electronic records automated classification system
Inventor: SUMMERLIN THOMAS A
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2000-05-02
Abstract: Discloses a system for the automatic classification of electronic documents that are candidates to become an official record. A training data set of documents, each document having a pre-assigned records classification instance, is processed by a classification agent operating in training mode to establish a probabilistic relationship between each classification instance and the contents of a document. The training data set includes at least several documents per classification instance. A trained classification agent operating in evaluation or classification mode receives a candidate document and produces a result. A  decision control table contains user specified contiguous result ranges to select one document processing action from a list of document processing actions based on the result produced by the trained classification agent. The list of document processing actions includes further automatic document processing to assign a classification or providing user input capability to enable human intervention and control to classify the candidate document and result in the candidate document being combined with appropriate metadata, and a file plan classification to become an official record.

IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 2000-03-07
Abstract: A bendable tubular standup or V-shaped container for storing and mixing two compositions which must be kept separate until being mixed together at or near the time of use. The container comprising semi rigid tubular walls, a cap or nozzle at one end through which the contents of the container are emptied defined as the top portion, and a cap seal at the other end, defined as the bottom portion. A reopenable seal is situated within the interior walls of the container dividing the top portion and the bottom portion of the container into two separate compartments. The interior reopenable seal can be reinforced by attaching an exterior wall clamp to the standup container or the container may be bent into a V-shape position.   Two compositions can be deposited into the separate compartments and later mixed together by either unbending and squeezing the V-shaped container or by removing the exterior wall clamp and squeezing the standup container, thereby causing the reopenable seal to open and the contents to interact.

Patent CA-2315047-A1 (CA)
Title: Mixed catalyst system
Inventor: NEMZEK THOMAS LLOYD
IPC: C08F4/6592
Filed: 1998-12-15
Abstract: It has been found that the use of at least one unsupported metallocene polymerization catalyst with at least one supported metallocene polymerization catalyst in the polymerization of olefins allows for better control of the polymerization, especially gas phase polymerization. Such a system takes advantage of the high activity of the unsupported catalyst and the stability of a supported catalyst. Additionally, the relative timing of the addition of the supported and unsupported catalysts to a reaction system can be used to control a continuous polymerization reaction by stabilizing the reactor bed with the supported catalyst prior to addition of the unsupported catalyst.
