Patent CA-2587365-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PAPETTI JULIA GRACE
IPC: B24B49/00
Filed: 2005-11-10
Abstract: An automatic razor blade sharpener simultaneously sharpens multiple edges of a spring-loaded disposable razor blade cartridge by gently contacting the blade edges with a moving rubber or polymeric compliant belt that is motor driven. The disposable razor blade handle is set in a cradle aperture, which is spring loaded against the moving belt. A timer terminates the blade sharpening operation, indicated by a green LED. A liquid is dispersed on the moving belt forming a thin liquid layer on the belt surface, illuminated by transversely located light illumination and the reflected light is received by a transversely located sensor. When the blade contacts the thin liquid layer, deep grooves in the blade cutting edge reduce this reflection indicating that the blade is too worn to be sharpened and a red LED light is indicated. Absence of reflection indicates that the thin liquid film has evaporated or spilled out.

Title: Packet flow bifurcation and analysis
Inventor: LUFT SIEGFRIED JOHANNES
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 2006-08-30
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for optimum matching of a traffic profile with an individual traffic flow using flow bifurcation and analysis. Bifurcation and duplication of packets that make up a flow received at an ingress element are forwarded to each of egress traffic and computation processor resources, such that egress traffic operations and traffic analysis operations may be performed concurrently without introducing jitter or delay in either bifurcated processing path. The traffic analysis includes maintaining flow statistics, flow stateful information and classifying the flow as a particular application traffic type. The optimum traffic profile for this application traffic type is then selected and applied to the individual flow. The traffic analysis data is forwarded to ingress and egress processing elements in real time, and ingress and egress traffic processing operations are dynamically adjusted in view of the traffic analysis data.

Title: Providing consistent application aware firewall traversal
Inventor: CHIK JOY
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2006-08-15
Abstract: Implementations of the present invention relate to a communication framework that is readily adaptable to a wide variety of resources intended to be accessible through a firewall. In general, a communication framework at a gateway server can provide a specific connection to a requested resource in accordance with a wide range of resource and/or network access policies. In one instance, a client requests a connection to a specific resource behind a firewall. The communication framework authenticates the connection, and quarantines the connection until determining, for example, that the client is using an appropriate resource features. If appropriately authenticated, the communication framework can pass control of the connection to an appropriately identified protocol plug-in processor, which facilitates a direct connection to the requested resource at an application layer of a communication stack.

IPC: H01M4/90
Filed: 2006-09-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel cell using a metal element (50) whose standard potential than is lower than that of Ru and higher than that of hydrogen. Since the metal element (50) is eluted from the Pt-Ru catalyst (1) before Ru being eluted from the catalyst (1), the elution of Ru from the catalyst can be prevented. Further, the metal element (50) is provided in a diffusion layer and/or a part of a catalyst layer isolated from an electrolyte membrane, the metal element (50) is unlikely to reach the electrolyte membrane even when the metal element (50) is diffused in the form of an ion and hardly reduces the proton conductivity of the electrolyte membrane. Thus, the contamination of the electrolyte membrane can be prevented. Examples of the metal element (50) include Cu, Re and Ge.
