Title: Use of location awareness to transfer communications sessions between terminals in a healthcare environment
Inventor: JOHNSON BRIAN
IPC: G16H80/00
Filed: 2006-02-10
Abstract: According to a first broad aspect, the present invention seeks to provide a method of managing a session with an HIS. The method comprises receiving data regarding a wirelessly detectable tag associated with a first terminal; determining whether the first terminal is positioned relative to a second terminal such that a terminal proximity condition is satisfied based at least in part on the data regarding the wirelessly detectable tag, wherein one of the first terminal and the second terminal supports a session with the HIS; responsive to the terminal proximity condition being satisfied, providing an opportunity for signaling of an intent to transfer at least a portion of the session from the one of the terminals to the other of the terminals; and responsive to detection of an intent to transfer at least a portion of the session, transferring the at least a portion of the session, thereby to cause the at least a portion of the session to be supported by the other terminal.

Title: Horizontally constructed continuous steam generator and method for the operation thereof
Inventor: FRANKE JOACHIM
IPC: F22B29/06
Filed: 2004-08-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous steam generator (1) provided, in a duct for hot gas (6) circulating in a substentially horizontal direction (x), with a continuous heating surface (8) of an evaporator comprising a plurality of a steam generator (12) tubes which are mounted in parallel for circulating a fluid flow. The inventive device requires exceptionally low construction expenditures and ensures a high safety degree and a high efficiency. For this purpose, the continuous heating surface (8) of the evaporator is characterised in that it comprises a segment of the heating surface (26) through which a moving fluid (W) flows in an opposite direction with respect to the hot gas direction (x) and whose outlet (16) on the side of the moving fluid with respect to the heated gas direction is positioned in such a way that a saturated steam temperature which is adjusted during operation at the exit from said continuous heating surface (8) deviates from the predetermined maximum value of the temperature of the hot gas prevailing during operation at the outlet (16) of the segment of the heating surface. In addition, one or several entry collectors (14) are disposed at a closed distance from the inlet of said heating surface on the gas side in such a way that the moving fluid has a flow speed in the a downpipe (22) which is higher than the minimum speed required for pulling nascent steam bubbles.

Title: Standard configurable universal serial bus (usb) device identifier
Inventor: PAYNE STEPHEN R
IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 2004-09-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a USB peripheral device belonging to a model line of identical peripheral devices. The peripheral device includes a USB  interface enabling connection of the peripheral device to a USB port of a host device. The peripheral device also includes a memory for storing a USB device identifier. The USB device identifier comprises a standard USB device identifier that is the same for all the peripheral devices of the model line.  The standard USB device identifier identifies each peripheral device in the model line to the host device as identical devices, thereby preventing device driver reinstallation and communication port reassignment when swapping one peripheral device for another peripheral device from the same model line. This enables identical peripheral devices to be "hot-~swappable" such that they can be interchanged on the host device, even when the host device is powered up and running. Corresponding methods are also provided.

Abstract: The disclosed laryngeal mask airway device includes an inflatable cuff, an airway tube, and a tab. The cuff defines a central opening at least when inflated. The cuff is insertable through a mouth of a patient to an inserted location within the patient. The cuff surrounds a glottic opening of the patient when inflated and at the inserted location. The airway tube extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The airway tube defines an internal passage. A sealed airway passage extends from the proximal end of the tube through the internal passage to the glottic opening when the cuff is inflated and at the inserted location. The tab is fixed to the airway tube near the proximal end of the airway tube. The tab is disposed outside of the mouth of the patient when the cuff is at the inserted location. The tab extends outwardly from the airway tube in a first direction when the cuff is at the inserted location. A second direction is perpendicular to a line extending from a nose of the patient to a chin of the patient. The first direction is transverse to the second direction.

Title: Method and communication system to allow barring a call of a roaming user after pdp context activation
Inventor: LI CHANGHONG
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: A system for deactivating an established communication channel (e.g. Radio Access Bearer) between a user station and an access point, which provides a service to the user station. The system transfers user data (e.g. subscriber profile) stored in a database entity (e.g. HLR) to a serving controller (e.g.  SGSN) connected between the user station and the access point (e.g. GGSN) and defines at the serving controller that that user is not permitted to access that service (i.e. must be barred for that service), allowing for deactivation of the established communication channel based on the transferred user data.  Conventional techniques, however, allow barring a certain service (through a PDP context activation) only at the activation phase (i.e. when the PDP  context does not exist), but the invention allows to bar a service even after an activation of a PDP context (e.g. when a user roams between his/her home and visiting network).
Patent CA-2555709-A1 (CA)
Title: Reverse sliding seal for expandable tubular connections
Inventor: RING LEV M
IPC: B21D39/04
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: An expandable threaded connection between segments of expandable tubulars that provides a high bearing pressure seal at a specific area along the pin and box members is disclosed. The invention utilizes a "groove" in a surface of the box member and a corresponding "rib" on the pin nose. The radial expansion of the tubulars causes the pin to become shorter in length, thereby causing the pin nose to retract from the back of the box member. As the pin nose retracts, the rib on the pin nose moves backward until a portion of the rib contacts a portion of the groove in the box member. The point of contact between the rib and the groove creates a metal-to-metal seal between the pin and box members. Because the point of contact between the rib and the groove is a relatively small area, the force acting on the point of contact generates a high bearing pressure that is equal to or greater than the internal pressure within the expandable tubulars and, thus, generates a high pressure seal.

Abstract: An adjustable locking mechanism,is provided for sliding.  closures to limit sliding translation of a sliding window or patio door in a track of a channel. The locking mechanism includes a vise component having a fixed jaw member sad an opposing moving jaw member spaced apart in an adjustable fixed relationship; and an eccentric cam component being rotatable between a first opened position and a second closed position.     The cam component is contiguous with the vise component to exert sufficient retaining force, in the closed position, to mount the locking mechanism across the span of the channel to limit the sliding translation of the window or patio door in the track.  Alternatively, the vise component is retained across the channel span by compression exerted by a integral threaded bolt and nut.  Accordingly, the improved locking mechanism provides a convenient means for adjustably securing sliding windows or patio doors in channels of varying dimensions.
