Patent CA-2379900-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMITH PETER W E
IPC: G01P15/00
Filed: 2002-04-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and devices for time division multiplexing of a fiber optic serial Bragg grating sensor array containing more than one Bragg grating. The device provides a pulse read-out system that allows for a reduction in system noise and an increase in sensor resolution and flexibility. In one aspect the optical signals reflected from the Bragg grating sensor array are gated by an electronically controlled optical modulator before any wavelength measurement is performed to determine the sensor information. This offers significant advantages since the sensor information is encoded into the wavelength of the optical signal and not its intensity. Therefore the sensor signal information is not distorted by the gating. Since the gating or switching of the optical modulator is performed on the optical signal, the speed of the electronic processing needs only to be performed at the speed of variation of the sensor information and the choice of methods of wavelength measurement is not influenced by the gating action. The device may include one or more optical amplifiers that provide the ability to demultiplex the reflected signals electronically.
Patent CA-2381737-A1 (CA)
Title: Framework for managing data that provides correlation information in a distributed computing system
Inventor: SLUIMAN HARM
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2002-04-15
Abstract: A framework for managing data that provides correlation information in a distributed computing system is provided. The framework includes a generic correlator data structure and service for generating and managing correlators. The generic correlator data structure defines a generic correlator to uniquely identify a specific event occurring at a specific time on a specific thread of a specific process of a specific application executing on a specific machine in the distributed computing system. The correlator may be used to correlate the specific event with another event, even one occurring on a different machine.  The generic correlator data structure may be extended, optionally, to include additional context data, for example, specific information selected by a service, tool or other application requiring the correlators. Preferably, the generic correlator data structure is configured to include an association to a partner correlator for a correlated event. The service generates a correlator for an event of a series of events on a computer within the distributed system with a temporal identifier representative of the unique temporal order of the event in the series of events. The temporal identifier may be defined by one or more sequential counters each responsive a characteristic of the event. The service may provide the correlator for transporting to another computer in the distributed system for associating with a related event correlator. Accordingly, the service may receive a correlator and associate it with the related correlator.

Filed: 2000-08-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for combining a plurality of 8B/10B encoded DVB-ASI  input streams (44, 46) into an aggregate output data stream (48) allows a receiving device (49) to synchronize to the aggregate output data stream (48) by mapping a synchronization character (75) to a unique character (115) if the synchronization character (75) occurs in a first timeslot of the aggregate output data stream (48). This unique character (115) allows a receiving device (49) to synchronize to the aggregate output data stream (48). If the synchronization character (75) occurs in a timeslot other than the first timeslot, the synchronization character (75) is mapped to another special character (105) that denotes that no data is present in the timeslot. In addition, if the synchronization character (75) occurs in a timeslot after the last timeslot in which data may be placed in the aggregate output data stream (48), the synchronization character (75) can be mapped to yet another special character (101) denoting that no data is available in the timeslot.

Patent CA-2399589-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEISS SAMUEL
IPC: C12N5/0797
Filed: 1992-07-07
Abstract: An in vitro culture system for the perpetuation of an unlimited number of neural progenitor cells. Progenitor cells are iso-lated from particular neural regions and proliferated in suspension cultures in the presence of growth factors. The progenitor cells can be induced to differentiate into neurons and glial calls. The ability to perpetuate fetal progenitor cells allows for produc-tion of a large supply of tissue from a minimal number of fetuses for transplantation into an animal with neurodegeneration. The use of juvenile and adult cells for generating progenitors would eliminate the need to obtain fetal tissue and may allow for patient to supply his own progenitors. Such an approach would eliminate the ethical problem of obtaining fetal neuronal tissue as well as the problem of tissue rejection and the required use of immunosuppressive drugs.

Title: Method of fluid application and applicator assembly thereof
Inventor: COOMBS GREGORY A
IPC: B05C17/03
Filed: 2002-11-18
Abstract: The applicator assembly comprises a flexible reservoir, to which are joined a pair of applicators. The latter includes a first and second applicators. The first applicator has its longitudinal axis of symmetry perpendicularly disposed relative to the flexible reservoir, respectively to its longitudinal axis, while the second applicator is coaxial with the flexible reservoir. The first and second applicators are located at opposite ends of the flexible reservoir. An arm connects the first applicator to the flexible reservoir so, as stated before, the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the first applicator is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flexible reservoir. A pair of protective covers including a first and second protective covers is intended to slip over the pair of applicators, respectively the first and second applicators. A valve is incorporated into the flexible reservoir, so as to resist passage of a fluid contained in the latter, while letting the atmospheric air to infiltrate therein. The method of applying a fluid, using the above described applicator assembly, comprises the following operations: removing one of the pair of protective covers, then squeezing the flexile reservoir to expel a quantity of fluid contained within and simultaneously dispensing the one of the applicators which has its protective cover removed;  preventing the exit of fluid from the flexible reservoir during the previous two operations by using said valve, then terminating the above operation of squeezing the flexible reservoir, which takes place simultaneously with an operation of infiltrating of atmospheric air through the valve into the flexible reservoir, and finally replacing the protective cover that was removed in the first operation.
