Title: User friendly expert product selector system
Inventor: HORNE CAREY JOHN
IPC: G06N5/00
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: An expert product selection system for selecting one or more products for a specific product application from a group of product technologies each having a potential product meeting the specific product application requirements. The expert product selection system includes a user interface device having a display area, a user input device, a non-volatile memory device, a volatile temporary memory storage area and a central processing unit. Stored on the memory device is an expert product selector program including the program instructions, user selectable graphics, a product application selector, a product selector and a master profile. The application selector includes a number of application criteria questions, any of which can be select by the user for response; an applications advisor; criteria response filters, each associated with one of the criteria questions and a technology decision tree. The product selector includes a number of product technologies to select from, product specification data for each product in an associated product technology, and a product filter. The master profile contains information previously stored by the program developer relating to general application and/or technology requirements of certain major industry groups. The application selector uses the users responses to selected application criteria questions to select or suggest to the user a product technology having at least one product meeting the application requirements. The product selector uses the same responses to selected application criteria questions to limit the number of alternative products in the selected technology. The user can then select particular product specifications to further limit the number of alternative products and then select one product for his particular application from the remaining alternative products.

Title: Antibacterial composition for oral administration
Inventor: ABE KENICHI
IPC: A61K47/42
Filed: 1996-10-14
Abstract: A new, antibacterial composition for use in oral administration is now provided, which composition comprises a mixture of Cefditoren pivoxyl with a water soluble casein salt. This composition has a reduced bitter taste of Cefditoren pivoxyl and also has improved properties regarding the rate and concentration of dissolution of Cefditoren pivoxyl in water and a ratio of dissolution out of Cefditoren pivoxyl into water.        This composition further can attain a high absorbability of the Cefditoren component at the digestive tubes upon oral administration thereof. In this composition, the ratio (by weight) of Cefditoren pivoxyl to the casein salt added may preferably be in a range of 1:0.1 to 1:4.      By further addition of a water-soluble polyphosphoric acid salt to the composition, the composition can prevent a ratio of dissolution out into water of the Cefditoren pivoxyl component being decreased when the composition was stored under severe conditions.

Patent CA-2239912-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PUTROW MICHAEL C
IPC: F02P17/00
Filed: 1991-08-01
Abstract: A digital engine analyzer has an oscilloscope display and is controlled by microprocessors operating under menu-driven stored program control.  The analyzer receives analog input signals from an engine being analyzed, engine identification and parameter data entered via a keyboard, function and mode data selected by keyboard, and data communicated from an engine on-board computer via a hand-held scanner device.  The analyzer calculates and displays spark plug burn time information derived from a single analog input signal, a historical display of peak ignition voltage values for a selected cylinder over a number of engine cycles and real time cylinder time balance information.  Peak capture circuitry permit the display of a full cylinder period of a waveform, even though it contains very high frequency portions, by selectively switching between normal and high resolution modes.  The scanner interface permits the scanner control functions to be effected from the analyzer keyboard.

Title: Conveyor belt and method of making the same
Inventor: SATO KEISHI
IPC: B29D29/00
Filed: 1998-06-11
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a conveyor belt having an elongate body made of uncured rubber and/or synthetic rubber. A polymeric parting material is placed adjacent to the upper and lower surfaces of the body, and heated platens are applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the body (i.e. belt material) to soften the adjacent upper and lower layer portions of the belt. This causes the softened belt material to flow into interstitial openings in the parting material. The resulting belt has the parting material squeezed into a thinner layer and embedded in the adjacent surface portions of the body of the belt. This provides a substantially uniform and reflectively soft texture surface.

Title: Method for the real-time determination of a time delay between stations in a radiolocation/radionavigation system
Inventor: ISSLER JEAN-LUC
IPC: G04R40/06
Filed: 1995-12-18
Abstract: A method for the real-time determination of a time delay between stations in a radiolocation/radionavigation system. Each station transmits a pseudo-random code and makes the time of satellite retransmission of its code dependent on a reference value. As a result, the delay between the times of reception of the codes in one station corresponds to the time delay between stations. Each station has direct real-time access thereto. The method is useful for radionavigation and radiolocation.
