Patent CA-2334604-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for charging for printing mixed sheet sizes on an electrophotographic printing machine
Inventor: SALGADO DAVID L
IPC: G03G21/02
Filed: 2001-02-08
Abstract: A method for enabling a printing machine having a customer billing interface to bill the customer for marking jobs having different sheet sizes includes programming different rates for different size sheets into the printing machine. With receipt of a machine enable signal from the customer billing interface, a sheet is fed and the printing machine determines the sheet size. After the printing machine performs a marking operation, the printing machine emits a signal for each sheet marked to the customer billing interface.

Title: Optical fiber preform having oh barrier and manufacturing method thereof
Inventor: YANG JIN-SEONG
IPC: C03B37/018
Filed: 1999-06-22
Abstract: An optical fiber preform having a substrate tube, a cladding layer and a core layer further includes a first barrier layer deposited by a material having a low OH diffusion coefficient between the substrate tube and the cladding layer, wherein the first barrier layer is for substantially preventing OH contained in the substrate tube from being diffused into the cladding layer. The optical fiber preform further includes a second barrier layer formed by depositing a material having a tow OH diffusion coefficient between the cladding layer and core layer, for substantially preventing OH which has been diffused into the cladding layer from the substrate tube from being diffused further into the core layer. Outer and inner OH barriers containing no P2O5 are deposited between the substrate tube and the cladding layer and between the cladding layer and the core layer in a deposition process, such that OH can be effectively prevented from being diffused from the substrate tube to the core layer in a core deposition process, a collapsing process or a closing process.
Patent CA-2336126-A1 (CA)
Title: Sensor cell for an electrochemical fuel cell stack
Inventor: WILKINSON DAVID P
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: An electrochemical fuel cell stack includes a plurality of fuel cells. At least one of the fuel cells is a sensor cell. The sensor cell has at least one structural dissimilarity with respect to the remaining fuel cells of the plurality. The structural dissimilarity may include, for example, a reduced sensor cell electrochemically active area, reduced electrocatalyst loading, modified anode or cathode flow field, different electrocatalyst composition, or a modified coolant flow field configuration. The sensor cell operates under substantially the same conditions as the remaining cells in the stack. However, in response to a change in a particular stack operating condition, an electrical or thermal response, preferably a voltage change, is induced in the sensor cell which is not simultaneously induced in the remaining fuel cells. Thus, the sensor cell can detect undesirable conditions and its response can be used to initiate corrective action. More than one sensor cell, specific to different types of conditions, may be employed in the stack. In the absence of undesirable conditions, the sensor cell can function as a power-producing fuel cell.

Title: Arrangement for using dynamic metrics to monitor contact center performance
Inventor: KNOTTS MARCUS
IPC: H04M3/523
Filed: 2001-07-04
Abstract: An arrangement for monitoring contact-center performance automates the monitoring process by using a database schema that records the contact center to be monitored, its skills, the locations where the skills are located (in the case of a distributed contact center), the objective or target value for a given skill attribute (such as average speed of answer, maximum delay, etc.), the acceptable deviation from the objective (tolerance), the maximum acceptable deviation between locations (in the case of a distributed contact center), the periodicity or frequency of the monitoring, and the comparison operator needed to determine how a given observed or actual value for the skill attribute is to be compared with its specified objective and tolerance. Monitoring is then effected as follows. Periodically, the contact center is automatically polled for performance data, actual values of the skill attributes are computed therefrom, and the actual values, the objective values, and the tolerances are used in a meta formula to determine the performance metrics. When skills are distributed across several locations of a distributed contact center, the arrangement determines the performance metrics for each location, and further determines whether the maximum deviation between the locations of their actual values exceeds the maximum acceptable deviation. Results indicating performance outages are sent to a party that is responsible for the contact center.

Abstract: Abstract A process is disclosed for liquefying natural gas to produce a pressurized liquid product having a temperature above -112  C using two mixed refrigerants in two closed cycles, a low-level refrigerant to cool and liquefy the natural gas and a high-level refrigerant to cool the low-level refrigerant. After being used to liquefy the natural gas, the low-level refrigerant is (a) warmed by heat exchange (65) in countercurrent relationship with another stream of the low-level refrigerant and by heat exchange (65) against a first stream of the high-level refrigerant, (b) compressed to an elevated pressure, and (c) aftercooled against an external cooling fluid. The low-level refrigerant is then cooled by heat exchange (65) against a second stream of the high-level mixed refrigerant and by exchange against the low-level refrigerant.  The high-level refrigerant is warmed by the heat exchange with the low-level refrigerant, compressed (67) to an elevated pressure, and aftercooled against an external cooling fluid (69).

Patent CA-2363346-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CARSTENS DELIA MARTA
IPC: A47D7/00
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: An improved bedding set design specifically arranged for cribs, for safely maintaining continued coverage of a sleeping baby / toddler in which a rectangular contoured mattress cover, a cover sheet and a covering with a large cut can be secured under the mattress with releasable fasteners which are provided on the outer surface of the bottom sheet which cooperate with releasable fasteners adjacent the margins of the inner surfaces of the top sheet and blanket and / or comforter. One variation to this invention is that the top sheet could also be sewn to the blanket or comforter, so the baby is tucked with only one light, but warm rectangular insulating covering. The sheets and coverings could also fit in a toddler bed that uses a standard crib mattress. The bedding set design also includes an inventive and decorative arrangement in which a standard bumper pad is permanently sewn to a rectangular fabric band that replaces the conventional dust ruffle. The width of the band is such that top and bottom edge portions of the panel will extend from the bottom edge of the bumper pad to the bottom edge of the crib's frame. Another variation to this invention is that the decorative skirt is attached to the bumper pad, for covering at least part of a central portion of the band extending over the mattress foundation sidewalls, and at least part of the space between the mattress foundation and a supporting floor surface. The conventional strips sewn to the bumper pad that are tied to the railings of the crib will include detachable fasteners for easier and faster access when placing the front crib door down or up.

Patent CA-2371721-A1 (CA)
Title: Lightning retardant cable
Inventor: GASQUE SAMUEL N JR
IPC: H01B9/02
Filed: 1999-04-21
Abstract: There is provided a cable which retards lightning. The cable includes at least one internal conductor which may be a power conductor or a signal conductor. A choke conductor is wound about the internal conductor in the shape of a spiral. If lightning strikes near the cable or a device which is attached to the cable, such as an antenna, the choke conductor presents a high impedance to the current caused by lightning and will prevent the lightining current from flowing down the choke conductor, thus entering the internal conductor, thereby preventing damage to the internal conductor and any associated electronic equipment. Preferably, a shield is also spiraled wound about the internal conductor adjacent to the choke conductor in a direction opposite to the choke conductor, whereby the angle formed by the crossing of the choke conductor and the shield is approximately 90° to block the magnetic field component of the lightning discharge.
