Title: Open-architecture system for real-time consolidation of information frommultiple financial systems
Inventor: GOODSON LOUIS J
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 1998-10-22
Abstract: An open-architecture system automatically consolidates information from a plurality of financial systems into a single accounting system without the need for expensive and time-consuming backroom procedures. The system enables an entity to use multiple independent and potentially incompatible financial systems to facilitate, control and monitor its spending, purchasing and other financial activitives, while also enabling the entity to monitor and control all of these activities in real time. The system receives, processes and stores information obtained from a plurality of financial and/or other external computerized systems, and provides one or more authorized users with the ability to monitor financial transactions on-line and manipulate and control all financial transactions of the entity in real time using, for example, Web-browser software technology. Different users may have different levels of access to the financial transaction data obtained, processed and stored by the system. The system may also be readily integrated with the entity's existing computer systems.

Title: Outgoing call handling system and method
Inventor: HOLT SCOTT C
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 1998-10-27
Abstract: A cellular system for handling outgoing calls from a mobile station (1) including a network element (8) being capable of recognizing voiced commands and names, and has in memory a database of telephone numbers corresponding to an array of names. The mobile station (1) connects to the network element (8) and the mobile station user communicates the desired outgoing call function to the network element (8) by voice. This desired outgoing call function may be communicated while the mobile station (1) is engaged in using supplementary services provided by the network element (8), at any operation point in those services. The network element (8) evaluates the voice communication, retrieves any corresponding information, including telephone numbers, and communicates the necessary information needed by the mobile station (1) to carry out the desired function to the mobile station (1).

Patent CA-2314567-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZLOTCHEVSKI SERGUEI VALEREVICH
IPC: A61D19/00
Filed: 2000-07-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to farming and is useful for raising rabbits on domestic and/or commercial scale. A method for raising rabbits includes feeding and watering, arranging mating for at least one doe by controlling independent contacts with a male rabbit while the doe is being kept in a cage having a set of gates. The cages are grouped in blocks so that a four-compartment cage with male rabbits at mating occupies the central position and interfaces four mother compartments of the doe cages disposed in two parallel rows, to control independent contacts of the male rabbits with the does. An apparatus for implementing the method of raising rabbits comprises at least one cage having drinking bowls, feeders and a mother compartment communicating via a penetration hole and a gate with a nest which communicates through a similar penetration hole and a gate with a young rabbit section separated by movable rotating partitions into several compartments for fattening and maturing young rabbits. An end compartment has an end opening wall. Beneath the floor of the cage there is disposed an inclined net with a tray disposed above the net at an angle and a distance to pass feces, a second tray being disposed under the net below the plane of the first tray. The mother compartment has an entry hole with a gate which registers during mating with a similar hole with a gate in the male rabbit cage having at least one compartment and adapted to move along the doe cage. The male rabbit cage may be installed on a cart, or a feed dispensing conveyor, or another moving means, and comprises several male compartments. The employment of the invention ensures the optimal arrangement and intensification of the rabbit raising process at farms, the employment of contemporary equipment for dispensing feed, watering and collecting excreta on the basis of the principle of colonial existence of rabbits in natural inhabitance conditions, and the reduction in cost and labor.

Title: Mass spectrometry with multipole ion guide
Inventor: WHITEHOUSE CRAIG M
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1999-01-22
Abstract: Multipole ion guides (6) configured with one or more segments (1, 2, 3, 4) and positioned in a higher pressure vacuum region (72), are operated in mass to charge selection and ion fragmentation modes.      Individual multipole ion guides are mounted in a linear assembly with no electrodes configured in between each multipole ion guide. At least a portion of each multipole ion guide mounted in a linear assembly resides in a vacuum region with higher background pressure. At least one ion guide (4) can be configured to extend continuously from one vaccum stage (72) into mother (73). Individual nets of RF, +/- DC and secular frequency voltage supplies provide potentials to the rods of each multipole ion guide allowing the operation of ion transmission, ion trapping, mass to charge selection and ion fragmentation functions independently in each ion guide. The presence of higher background pressure along a portion of the multiple ion guide linear assembly allows the Collisional Induced Dissociation (CID) fragmentation of ions by axially accelerating ions from one multipole ion guide to an adjacent ion guide, analogous to a triple quadrupole function. Alternatively ions can be fragmented in one or more multipole ion guides using resonant frequency excitation CID, similar to ion fragmentation operation in three dimensional quadrupole ion traps.

Title: Improved irradiation catheter and method of use
Inventor: TEIRSTEIN PAUL S
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: The invention is a catheter (10) for use with a radioactive source (16) within the catheter (10) to irradiate a selected area of a blood vessel in combination with angioplasty procedures, to prevent restenosis of that area of the vessel. The catheter (10) has a guidewire channel (18) formed near its distal end to facilitate use of the cather (10) as a rapid exchange catheter, allowing insertion of the catheter (10) over a guidewire (20). The catheter (10) has a radiation lumen (14) with a sealed end to retain the radioactive source (16) within the catheter (10). The radiation lumen (14) is sufficiently longer than the guidewire channel (18), keeping the radiation source (16) segregated from the blood, allowing the use of a non-sterile radiation source. The catheter (10) can be provided with a balloon (22) or a set of wire loops (50) to center the radioactive source (16) radially within the blood vessel.

Title: Method of isolating mucilaginous polysaccharides and uses thereof
Inventor: VITTORI NATALE
IPC: A61K36/8998
Filed: 2000-01-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of isolating mucilaginous polysaccharides from plants, cereals, cell cultures, or fungi such as mushrooms known to have mucilaginous or protein-bound polysaccharides with desirable biological properties. The mucilaginous polysaccharides present in aqueous solution or tissue extracts are treated with tannins to form a complex which is then separated from the solution. The complex is then treated one or more times with either solvents or other substances in solution to remove the bounded tannins from the complex thereby and releasing the isolated polysaccharide. The polysaccharides prepared according to the present method retain properties that are substantially similar to those of the native polysaccharide as it is found in the respective plant or cell. The polysaccharides thus prepared are used in a variety of products. This process is particularly suitable for isolating acetylated mannose polymers from aloe plants and beta glucans.

IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for defining location-based group services, which can be implemented within a Group Call Services (GCS) node associated with a cellular network. When a group call is initiated, the GCS  can send a positioning request to a Mobile Location Center (MLC) to locate the group members within a specified area. The particular location can be defined by the group number or the location can be prompted by the GCS. For each group member, the position of a mobile terminal associated with that group member is determined and the call is set up only to those members which meet the specified area criteria. If none can be located within the specified area, the area can be expanded at the callers' request.
