Patent CA-2676852-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SALTER GEOFFREY DAVID VINCENT
IPC: G01D7/06
Filed: 2008-02-04
Abstract: A monitoring device, system and method is provided for in-home/on-premises monitoring of usage of utilities, such as electricity and other services. The monitoring device receives information from a smart metering system or transceiver, and displays current usage through an illuminated display, which displays a colour indicative of the current cost of consumption, and controls illumination of the display to scan illumination across the display at a traverse rate indicative of a rate of consumption or other metric, the scanning of a pattern of illumination across the display simulating movement or rotation in the display. The display therefore provides a consumer with immediate "at a glance" visual information on current usage. Optionally a digital display screen provides more detailed alphanumeric and graphical information, through a number of selectable display modes. Beneficially one or more devices may be networked, and interface directly or indirectly with a transceiver of a smart metering system, or a retrofit transceiver for a conventional meter. While particularly suited to electricity monitoring, monitoring of other utilities and services may alternatively or additionally be provided. The system may be used with a wired network or wirelessly networked by one of a number of standard wireless and mesh network communication protocols.

Patent CA-2679002-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOWRY WILLIAM ROBERT
IPC: A62C31/02

Abstract: An ambient mist head for extinguishing fires that incudes a plurality of mist nozzles attached to a head. The mist nozzles are arranged spatially on the head at various angles.  The number of mist nozzles, the spatial arrangement and the angular placement of the mist nozzles can vary, depending on the area of coverage required. The angular placement of the mist nozzles on the head is effected so that the mist stream emerging from one mist nozzle does not impinge on a mist stream emerging from another mist nozzle. The angular placement of the mist nozzles thereby provides a maximal amount of mist production, and minimizes the occurrence of streams of water droplets.

Title: Computer network intrusion detection
Inventor: DIEP THANH A
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 1999-12-07
Abstract: Detecting harmful or illegal intrusions into a computer network or into restricted portions of a computer network uses statistical analysis to match user commands and program names with a template sequence. Discrete correlation matching and permutation matching are used to match sequences. The result of the match is input to a feature builder and then a modeler to produce a score. The score indicates possible intrusion. A sequence of user commands and program names and a template sequence of known harmful commands and program names from a set of such templates are retrieved. A closeness factor indicative of the similarity between the user command sequence and a template sequence is derived from comparing the two sequences. The user command sequence is compared to each template sequence in the set of templates thereby creating multiple closeness or similarity measurements.  These measurements are examined to determine which sequence template is most similar to the user command sequence. A frequency feature associated with the user command sequence and the most similar template sequence is calculated. It is determined whether the user command sequence is a potential intrusion into restricted portions of the computer network by examining output from a modeler using the frequency feature as one input.

Patent CA-2697885-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHWARTZ LIAT
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 2008-08-25
Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method for the treatment of bacterial diseases based on the antibacterial characteristic of the electrically released silver ions. The method includes the implantation of a small electrode including silver in the infected bone, embedding another small electrode including another metallic element subcutaneously, and initiating the release of silver ions by applying a small current between the two electrodes. The initiation current is applied for a very short time and then discontinued. After this a continuous release of the silver ions will take place for a long time while spreading the silver ions to the surrounding tissue as well. This process assures a long-term antibacterial effect, which after accomplishing the infection healing will also provide preventive care. The apparatus comprises all of the components necessary to carry out the method.
