Inventor: RICHLEY EDWARD A
IPC: B29B9/10
Filed: 1999-01-04
Abstract: A bichromal ball includes a first hemisphere.      The first hemisphere includes a first pigment having a first color and a first polarity. The first pigment is added to a carrier fluid and polymer mixture during formation of the bichromal ball. A second hemisphere includes a second pigment having a second color and a second polarity. The second pigment is added to the carrier fluid and polymer mixture during formation of the bichromal ball. The carrier fluid and polymer mixture have a lower viscosity than the polymer alone.

Patent CA-2260054-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for transmitting lan data over a synchronous wide area network
Inventor: OLIVER CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: A packet of data is received from a LAN and transmitted over a WAN, by retaining the native LAN frame format of the packet during transmission across the WAN. Thus, LAN data may be transmitted over a SONET  point-to-point link within a WAN network without the interim steps of creating ATM cells or other WAN transport packaging protocols. Instead, the LAN data may be transmitted directly over the SONET link as raw data, and reconstructed directly at the receiving end of the SONET link. A first buffer stores data from the LAN so that a corresponding packet size may be determined, and a second buffer stores data from the WAN to account for any speed difference between the LAN circuitry and WAN circuitry.

Patent CA-2265735-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FATTORI JOSEPH EDWARD
IPC: A45D40/04
Filed: 1997-09-25
Abstract: The cosmetic container (10) has parts that are interchangeable so that the barrel (17) can be used to contain different fill weights.      Different fill weights are used at different times such as during promotions to give about 10 to 25 percent more product. By the selection of different effective length of projections (34) on the lower surface of the cosmetic holder (28) and/or projections (44) and the upper surface of the base portion (40) of the container the distance of the cosmetic holder above the base portion at full retraction can be set to different levels. The effective length is the length that a projection maintains the base portion and cosmetic holder apart.      Since the space between the cosmetic holder and the top of the barrel will be filled with product for all product amounts the cosmetic holder setting above the base portion will determine the fill amount.      In the technique fewer parts need to be stocked for the differing fill levels.

Patent CA-2266980-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PACZKOWSKI THEODORE T
IPC: H05K1/18
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: A high density circuit module construction uses a flex circuit attached to a substrate and folded over on it to provide higher packaging density while providing an increase in the surface area available for I/O pads. A substrate has components such as ICs mounted on one surface, and module I/O pads on the opposite surface. This surface also provides interconnects for the flex circuit. The flex circuit has one portion attached to the interconnect pads on one surface of the substrate. Another portion of the flex circuit folds around the substrate and is attached to the other side of the substrate. The surface area of this portion of the flex circuit provides an additional surface area for mounting circuit components, within essentially the same footprint area as the substrate. This module construction provides a higher density than prior art constructions, while providing a larger, unobstructed area for the I/O pads, which simplifies connecting the module into a larger assembly.
