Patent CA-2308808-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHMID GREG
IPC: H04M1/66
Filed: 2000-05-18
Abstract: A system and method for discriminating call content types for individual telephone lines at a plurality of user sites outside of a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is described. The system may include: a database containing security rules for each of a plurality of extensions, the rules specifying actions to be taken based upon a call content type of the call on the extension, wherein the call content type is determined at the user sites outside the PSTN; and a line sensor within the user sites outside the PSTN for determining the call content type of the call. The line sensor continuously checks the call content type to determine if the call content type changes. For example, the first call content type can be fax and the second call content type can be data. An implementation of the system and method uses filtered tonal events as well as raw signal frequency and energy indices to discriminate between voice and voice band data content. Further discrimination between voice and a plurality of voice band data content types (fax, data modem and STU-III), is provided by a content type discrimination state machine which uses tonal event notices, the output of the previously mentioned frequency and energy statistical analysis between voice and voice band data, and demodulated signal analysis.

Filed: 1998-12-01
Abstract: A laminate generally includes: (a) a multilayer, gas-impermeable film capable of delaminating into a gas-permeable portion and a gas-impermeable portion, the gas-permeable portion in adherence with the gas-impermeable portion at a predetermined intra-film cohesive strength; and (b) a gas-permeable film bonded to the gas-impermeable film at a bond-strength that is greater than the intra-film cohesive strength between the gas-permeable and gas-impermeable portions of the gas-impermeable film. In this manner, when the laminate is subjected to a delaminating force, the laminate delaminates within the gasimpermeable film such that the gas-permeable portion of the gas-impermeable film remains bonded to the gas-permeable film. A package and method of making a package using the laminate as a lidding film are also disclosed.

Title: Peritympanic hearing instrument
Inventor: LEEDOM MARVIN ALLAN
IPC: H04R25/02
Filed: 1999-01-13
Abstract: A hearing instrument is adapted for positioning in the external auditory canal of a human proximal to the tympanic membrane. It includes a substantially rigid shell and a relatively flexible tip member. The tip member includes a hollow body portion defining an elongated passage for the communication of acoustic signals through the tip member. The hollow body portion of the tip member is sufficiently deformable so that an axis of the passage substantially conforms to an axis of the external auditory canal upon insertion. The hollow body is also significantly rigid to resist substantial collapse of the passage upon such insertion. The axis of the passage defined by the hollow body portion is moveable at an angle with respect to the axis of the shell so that the hearing instrument can navigate the canal during insertion. Wax guard and receiver mounting configurations as well as a method of assembly are also described.

Patent CA-2329551-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NGUYEN PAUL T
IPC: C08C2/00
Filed: 2000-12-22
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for the production of hydrogenated nitrile rubber. The appearance of corrosion in the plant equipment in which hydrogenated nitrile rubber is produced is due to the unexpected presence of relatively large amounts of HCl, generated, surprisingly, by the hydro-dehalogenation of the monochlorobenzene solvent under the reaction conditions. The addition of a compatible weakly basic additive, such as Epoxidized Soy Bean Oil (ESBO), to the reaction mixture has alleviated this serious problem.

Abstract: A process is described for the recovery of substantially pure alkyl alkanoate, such as ethyl acetate from an impure feedstock. The impure feedstock is contacted with a selective hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of hydrogen in a selective hydrogenation zone maintained under selective hydrogenation conditions effective for selective hydrogenation of impurities containing reactive carbonyl groups thereby to hydrogenate said impurities to the corresponding alcohols. After recovery from the selective hydrogenation zone of a selectively hydrogenated reaction product mixture comprising said alkyl alkanoate and said corresponding alcohols, this is distilled in one or more distillation zones so as to produce substantially pure alkyl alkanoate therefrom which is recovered.
Patent CA-2346638-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIU KAI BANG
IPC: G08B25/10
Filed: 1999-10-06
Abstract: A wireless alarm system (10) employs two-way transceivers (32, 60) in a network of smoke detectors (16), a base station (12), and other sensors. A keypad (14) is not needed because the system is reset by pressing a Test/Silence button (66) built into every detector or sensor. A siren is also eliminated because a sounder (64) in every detector sounds an alarm when any sensor is triggered. This is possible because every detector includes a transceiver that can receive alarm messages from any other detector. AC power wiring is also eliminated because the base station and sensors are battery powered. Only a telephone connection (48) is needed if the system is to be monitored.  In apartments or dormitory installations, smoke detectors in one apartment relay alarm messages to the next apartment, and onto the next, and so on, to a centralized base station for the entire facility. The centralized base station can be located in an apartment manager's office for immediate notification of an alarm, improper smoke detector operation, low or missing battery indications, and dirty smoke detector indications. The two-way wireless alarm system can save many lives in apartments, where smoke detectors batteries are often depleted or removed.

Title: Method and apparatus for extracting and installing heat exchanger bundles
Inventor: CICHON DAVID E
IPC: B65G67/12
Filed: 2001-06-13
Abstract: An apparatus and a method to remove and install horizontal heat exchanger bundles. A continuous track and a main frame having a carriage frame with vertical hydraulic cylinders are used and achieve the stability necessary to support and level a heat exchanger bundle during removal from its shell at various vertical heights. The preferred configuration allows the main frame, hydraulic cylinders, pads and tracks which provide a large surface area on the ground, to remain on the ground as the hydraulic cylinders raise the carriage frame to the height of the bundle shell to increase stability of the apparatus. Moreover, the tracks allow the self-propelled extractor to move over gravel, asphalt, and/or soft uneven surfaces without becoming embedded into the surface. Alternatively, the carriage frame may be raised or moved using a crane or helicopter by removing the carriage frame from the main frame.
