Title: Custom strategy specification in a hosted electronic transaction service system
Inventor: HARDING TIMOTHY
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: A merchant (104) generates a customized service strategy (502A) related to a suite of electronic transaction services (206) hosted by a service provider (106). The custom strategy specifies services to perform, and possibly an order in which to perform the services, by a service provider in relation to an electronic transaction associated with the merchant. Through use of a use r interface, the strategy can be represented as a graphical decision tree (700 ), with terminal nodes representing services or actions. A customized strategy is transmitted to a service provider, as is transaction related information, whereby the service provider can service the transaction according to the strategy and based on the transaction information. Scheduling information th at specifies different strategies to apply to different transaction scenarios c an be generated. A strategy is selected by a service provider based on the scheduling information and transaction information, and is used to service o ne or more electronic transactions.
Patent CA-2511771-A1 (CA)
Title: Conducteurs electriques nanostructures optiquement transparents
Inventor: GLATKOWSKI PAUL J
IPC: H01B1/24
Filed: 2003-12-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés permettant de former des revêtements/pellicules conducteurs d'électricité à transparence élevée, par l'exploitation de nanostructures auto-assemblées composées de matériaux conducteurs d'électricité. La couche résultante se prête à la conduction d'électricité dans des applications nécessitant une électrode transparente. Les applications caractéristiques comprennent notamment, les écrans à cristaux liquides, les écrans tactiles, les fenêtres à blindage EMI, et les fenêtres architecturales. Dans un mode de réalisation, des nanotubes de carbone sont appliqués sur un substrat isolant pour former un réseau de nanotubes conducteurs d'électricité, la porosité du réseau étant régulée. L'espace libre entre les réseaux de nanotubes accroît la transparence optique dans le spectre visible, tandis que la phase continue de nanotubes assure une conductivité électrique dans toute la surface ou la zone structurée. L'application régulée, par impression ou par pulvérisation, de ce réseau auto-assemblé de nanotubes, permet de former des zones structurées, fonctionnant comme électrodes dans des dispositifs. L'utilisation de la technique d'impression pour la formation de ces électrodes supprime la nécessité de traitements plus coûteux tels que le dépôt sous vide et la photolithographie, qu'on utilise généralement aujourd'hui pour la formation des revêtements ITO.

Title: Internal combustion engine and method
Inventor: MORGADO RALPH GORDON
IPC: F02B53/00
Filed: 2003-03-20
Abstract: Internal combustion engine and method in which pistons on different rotors (21,22) move relative to each other to form chambers (27) of variable volume in a toroidal cylinder.(26) The pistons (23, 24) move in stepwise fashion, with the pistons on one rotor travelling a predetermined distance while the pistons on the other rotor remain substantially stationary. Fuel is drawn into a chamber as one of the pistons defining the chamber (27) moves away from the other, and then compressed as the second piston moves toward the first.  Combustion of the fuel drives the first piston (23) away from the second (24), and the spent gases are then expelled from the chamber by the second piston moving again toward the first. An output shaft (31) is connected to the rotors (21, 22) in such manner that the shaft (31) rotates continuously while the rotors and pistons move in their stepwise fashion.

Title: Method and device for secure computer data storage
Inventor: DEBIEZ JACQUES
IPC: G06F21/80
Filed: 2004-03-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a secure, tamper- and forgery-proof peripheral for the storage of authenticated, dated computer data with an evidential value.  The invention is based on an optionally-rewritable, fully-integrated storage peripheral which is functionally protected by an electronic system which only authorises the addition of data in the unused free space and prohibits the deletion, alteration or overwriting of pre-recorded data. At the end of each file-write operation, the date, which is provided by a non-modifiable internal clock that is calibrated only at the time of production, is associated therewith. Each device comprises a unique integrated secret internal digital identifier which is associated with a unique public identifier and said identifiers are used to personalise the device and render same unreproducible.  The aforementioned association can be verified using several third methods which never divulge the secret internal identifier. According to the invention, a physical and electronic peripheral protection system activates, incorporates and protects the assembly of above-mentioned internal elements and destroys the unique internal identifiers in the event of an attempted intrusion, compromise, corruption or internal analysis. For said purpose, the authenticity of the equipment assembly is invalidated and, consequently, so too are the stored data which nonetheless remain readable. The inventive device is particularly suitable for the private storage and archiving of computer data having an authentic, juridical and/or legal weight of evidence in respect of official authorities. Moreover, said device uses no heavy cryptography methods.

Title: Information retrieval and text mining using distributed latent semantic indexing
Inventor: BASSU DEVASIS
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-04-23
Abstract: The use of latent semantic indexing (LSI) for information retrieval and text mining operations is adapted to work on large heterogeneous data sets by first partitioning the data set into a number of smaller partitions having similar concept domains. A similarity graph network is generated in order to expose links between concept domains which are then exploited in determining which domains to query as well as in expanding the query vector. LSI is performed on those partitioned data sets most likely to contain information related to the user query or text mining operation. In this manner LSI can be applied to datasets that heretofore presented scalability problems. Additionally, the computation of the singular value decomposition of the term-by-document matrix can be accomplished at various distributed computers increasing the robustness of the retrieval and text mining system while decreasing search times.
