IPC: C10J3/46
Filed: 2004-05-07
Abstract: The invention provides a method for the production of hydrogen of high purity suitable for many uses. The hydrogen is produced by the reaction of a carbon-containing compound with water to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide and the subsequent conversion of at least part of that carbon monoxide to hydrogen and carbon dioxide and the removal of the remaining carbon monoxide to produce pure hydrogen. The hydrogen produced is substantially free of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and is suitable for many applications including use in a fuel cell to produce electricity.

Patent CA-2530338-A1 (CA)
Title: Tire removal tool
Inventor: VAN TRAN LOI
IPC: B60C25/02
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: A tool is provided for assistance in removing toes from wheel rims. The tool has a body with a lateral opening for engaging the flange of a wheel rim, preferably opening into a cavity that is wider than the opening such that the tools pivots between stable positions on a fulcrum at which lips of the lateral opening bear against the flange. A roller is mounted on.one end of the tool body to exert a downward pressure on the tire sidewall, and a handle protrudes on an end opposite the cavity and fulcrum from the roller. The roller displaces the tire bead from its seat against the rim when removing or installing the bead of a tire that is already at least partly on the rim, or supports the second bead of a tire whose first bead is axially outside of the rim relative to the wheel rotation axis. Displacing the bead from its seat opens a radial clearance between the bead and the rim, so that the tire can be displaced eccentrically to relieve tension on the bead due to prying on a diametrically opposite side of the tire. The roller has a rotation axis tangential to the rim, and thus is positioned to facilitate eccentric displacement of the tire on the rim, namely by radial displacement in the area of the roller. The tool can have one cavity or a number of cavities among which the user chooses as appropriate to the dimensions of the tire and the amount of leverage to be applied to the roller via the handle.

Patent CA-2531703-A1 (CA)
Title: Artificial sphincter with variable viscosity fluid-filled collar
Inventor: MERETEI ATTILA
IPC: A61F2/48
Filed: 2005-12-28
Abstract: Systems and methods for supplementing control of an anatomical sphincter. A collar containing variable viscosity fluid surrounds a portion of an anatomical conduit. The flow of bodily fluids through the anatomical conduit occurs according to the viscosity level of the variable viscosity fluid.  Electro-rheologic fluid in the collar liquefies in the absence of an electrical potential difference to render the collar pliable, permitting the anatomical conduit to expand and fluid to flow through the anatomical conduit. Electro-rheologic fluid in the collar solidifies in the presence of an electrical potential difference to render the collar firm, restricting the anatomical conduit from expanding and restricting fluid from passing through the anatomical conduit. A control unit, or battery, operable in response to sensed pressure data or according to an external control unit manipulated by a patient, determines when an electrical potential difference is generated to change the state of the electro-rheologic fluid in the collar. Magneto-rheologic fluids can instead be used in the collar.  An implanted or external control unit, or other magnetic source, determines when a magnetic field is generated to change the state of the magneto-rheologic fluid in the collar based on sensed pressure data or according to an external control unit operated by the patient.

Patent CA-2532259-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HORGAN NICK
IPC: H04L29/02
Filed: 2004-07-22
Abstract: A method for classifying an incoming packet. The method includes maintaining a database associated with patterns of fields, where the fields can be network addresses. The database can be developed by mapping each pattern to a unique numeric identifier. The number of unique numeric identifiers is equal to the number of patterns, and the size of each unique numeric identifier is substantially smaller than the field of each pattern. The database can be further developed by determining a range of one or more of the unique numeric identifiers to be associated with each pattern. The range for each pattern can be bounded by a minimum unique numeric identifier and a maximum unique numeric identifier. The method also includes using a field of the incoming packet to determine an associated identifier for that field, where the associated identifier is equal to one of the unique numeric identifiers. The associated identifier can then be matched with one or more of the ranges for the patterns, and the method can then determine how to process the incoming packet.
