Title: Dog gone flies
Inventor: MCMURCHY JOANNE ALICE
IPC: A01N65/00
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: Dog Gone Flies is an ointment that I have invented to try to help dogs with the terrible problem of flies eating at their ears during the warm months of the year. Because the tips of animal ears are thin fleshed, flies are attracted to this area and once blood is drawn. they continue to swarm the area causing infection and pain. As the owner/operator of an herb farm called Plenty of Thyme, I have the extensive knowledge of the properties that each herb exhibits, Using pure petroleum jelly as my base. I incorporated the herbs that 1 researched to have the properties that repel flies. I quickly discovered that this ointment was very successful. It is also known to repel flies from any wounds and abrasions they may obtain. I clearly feel that it is marketable and would like the opportunity to share this product with Veterinarians etcetera.

Title: A method and apparatus for supporting a multicast response to a unicast request for a document
Inventor: MARKS JOSHUA K
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 1999-12-16
Abstract: A method for managing a document includes retrieving the document in response to a request made by the first computer system at a first location. The document is multicasted to the first computer system at the first location and a second computer system at a second location based on a likelihood that that information will be consumed by this second computer system. A network operations center (130) includes a master proxy server (380). The master proxy server (380) retrieves a document in response to a request made by a first computer system at a first location. A multicast server (390) is coupled to the master proxy server (380). The multicast server (390) transmits the document to the first computer system at the first location and a second computer system at a second location. All decisions about multicasting documents to non-requesting computer systems are based on known, stated, and observed information profiles of the non-requesting computer systems as well as the content associations related to the active multicast channels.

Patent CA-2357504-A1 (CA)
Title: Well planning and design
Inventor: MALONE DAVID L
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2001-09-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing well planning and design includes several phases, including a screening phase, a design phase, and an operating phase.  The screening phase selects or categorizes candidate wells in addition to performing a general-level design. The general-level design process provides a framework in which a detailed or specific design can be performed. Once a completion system for a selected well has been designed, the operating phase is performed in which measurements taken during operation are fed back to a controller. The controller has access to a conceptual model of the completion system. The measured data is compared to an expected performance based on the model. If adjustments of settings are needed, then the controller issues commands to cause various components of the completion system to be adjusted.  If adjustment of settings is not sufficient to achieve the desired level of performance as indicated by the model, then an adjustment of the model may be performed.

Abstract: It is one object of the present invention to provide a technique for converting the structure of a Web page into contents that a user can easily listen to, and for permitting the user to access and obtain information without have to perform and navigation, in a manner similar to listening to the radio. A designated target page is obtained from a Web server 3, and a linked list for the target page is analyzed to obtain a linked destination page. A transcoding module 6 inserts the main content of the linked destination page into a linked location on the target page, and converts the page into a structure appropriate for oral reading. Then, a VoiceXML generation module 5 converts the target page into a VoiceXML document, and a VoiceXML browser 4 performs a speech response process for the VoiceXML document. A command is input to the VoiceXML browser 4 orally or by using a dial key entry provided using a telephone 1, and a speech from the VoiceXML browser 4 is output to the telephone 1.

Title: Method and apparatus for supervising a potentially gated signal in a wireless communication system
Inventor: TIEDEMANN EDWARD G JR
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: This is a method and apparatus for supervising a potentially gated channel in a wireless communication system. The mobile station (4) maintains a counter of consecutive bad frames, COUNT1 (224), and a counter of consecutive good frames, COUNT2 (226). COUNT1 (224) and COUNT2 (226) are set to zero at the beginning of a call. For each frame received, the mobile station (4) determines if it is a good, bad, or an empty frame. If the received frame is good, COUNT1 (224) is reset to zero and COUNT2 (226) is incremented by 1. If the received frame is bad, COUNT1 (224) is incremented by one and COUNT2 (226) is reset to zero. If the received frame is empty, COUNT1 (224) and COUNT2 (226) are unchanged. If COUNT1 (224) reaches a threshold value, TH1, the mobile station (4) shall disable its transmitter. Thereafter, if COUNT2 (226) reaches a threshold value, TH2, the mobile station (4) shall re-enable its transmitter.

Patent CA-2376146-A1 (CA)
Title: Biopsy site marker and process and apparatus for applying it
Inventor: FORCIER NANCY
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2000-06-28
Abstract: A biopsy site marker comprises small bodies or pellets (20) of gelatin which enclose substantially in their interior a radio (X-ray) opaque object. The gelatin pellets are deposited into the biopsy site, typically a cylindrical opening in the tissue created by the recent use of a vacuum assisted large core biopsy device, by an applicator device that includes an elongated cylindrical body that forms a flexible tube (26) and a piston (28) slidable in the tube. One end of the tube is placed into the biopsy site. Typically, sev-eral gelatin pellets, only some of which typically do, but all of which may contain the radio opaque object, are deposited sequentially into the site through the tube. The radio opaque objects contained in the gelatin bodies are of a non-biological configuration and readily identifiable as man-made object, so that in observation by typical mammography equipment they do not assume the shape of a line, whereby they are readily distinguishable from granules and lines of calcification.
Patent CA-2377206-A1 (CA)
Title: Multi-variable control loop assessment
Inventor: NUYAN SEYHAN
IPC: G05B17/02
Filed: 2002-03-18
Abstract: A multivariable analysis tool is provided wherein an orthogonal decomposition method such as a Partial Least Squares algorithm is applied to a disturbance model, which relates the known loop disturbances to the loop model residue. The tool according to the invention first extracts the most dominant correlation to the loop model residue and then uses the residue to search for secondary dominant correlation in an orthogonal space, and repeats this process until no further output variation can be significantly attributed by the next dominant correlation. In this way, the analysis tool of the present invention is able to estimate the performance potential of each control loop under different disturbance conditions and provide a control performance index by comparing the achieved performance to the performance potential in a multi-variable environment. This index indicates whether or not a given loop is under optimal operation and shows variance of the loop from the best achievable loop performance.
