Title: Assay for the diagnosis of schizophrenia
Inventor: SHINITZKY MEIR
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1995-02-28
Abstract: An immunological assay for the diagnosis of schizophrenia in an individual is described. The assay comprises the following steps: (a) a blood sample, a platelet-containing fraction of a blood sample, or a fraction containing platelet-associated antibodies (PAA) shed from the platelets is obtained from an individual; (b) the sample is contacted with platelet antigens fixed to a solid support, and subsequently with an antibody detection system; and (c) the binding pattern of the PAA to the platelet antigens is determined and compared to the binding pattern of a sample obtained from a normal individual. A difference in patterns indicates that the individual has a high likelihood of having schizophrenia. The assay is capable of differentiating schizophrenia from dementia, as well as from Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP), an autoimmune disease directed against a platelet antigen.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un appareil de mesure directe de la couleur et des caractéristiques liées à la couleur d'une feuille en mouvement. On effectue les mesures du pouvoir réfléchissant et de l'indice d'opacité de façon à établir des corrections d'opacité pratiquement en temps réel dans le cas d'un spectre composé de toutes les couleurs. Un capteur optique de couleurs, conforme à la présente invention, comporte une paire de spectromètres synchronisés, le premier spectromètre étant aligné de façon à visualiser une région de la feuille doublée d'une matière hautement réfléchissante (dite "blanc") et le second spectromètre étant aligné de façon à visualiser une région de la feuille doublée d'une matière hautement absorbante (dite "noir"). L'utilisation des deux spectromètres permet d'effectuer des mesures pratiquement simultanées de "blanc" et de "noir" dans le cas d'un spectre composé de toutes les couleurs. Le système de détection optique des couleurs comporte également deux sources lumineuses, une lampe éclair et une lampe au tungstène continuellement sous tension. Les faisceaux lumineux des deux sources sont combinés de façon à constituer un troisième faisceau d'éclairage de la feuille de caractéristiques proches d'une source à la norme D65. L'intensité de la lampe éclair est régulée électroniquement pour maintenir l'équilibre entre le rayonnement ultraviolet et la lumière visible qui caractérise la source normalisée. Le capteur de couleurs comporte en outre un système de doublage des feuilles incorporant une roue rotative normalisée transportant un carreau blanc normalisé. L'invention prévoit également la possibilité de rotation de la roue normalisée ainsi que la normalisation du capteur en position extérieure à la feuille, l'isolation entre le carreau blanc et l'environnement de la fabrique de papier étant maintenue pendant ladite normalisation.

Filed: 1995-08-18
Abstract: Systems and methods for material analysis are disclosed in which an organic sample (e.g., a foodstuff, tissue sample or petroleum product) is illuminated at a plurality of discrete wavelengths which are absorbed by fatty acid and fatty acid oxidation products in the sample. Measurements of the intensity of reflected or absorbed light at such wavelenghts are taken, and an analysis of absorbance ratios for various wavelengths is performed. Changes in the reflection ratios are correlated with the oxidative state of fatty acids present in the material.

Title: Method and apparatus for reduced-bandwidth transmission of television signals
Inventor: JAMES JACK E
IPC: H04N7/12
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: A system for reducing bandwidth of video signals.  Ordinarily, an NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) video signal has (a) a bandwidth of 6.0 MHz, (b) chrominance and luminance carriers separated by about 3.58 MHz, and (c) an audio carrier located at the upper end of the 6.0 MHz bandwidth.  The invention reduces the separation between chrominance and luminance carriers to about 2.15 MHz, and decreases the bandwidth to about 4.0 MHz.  In addition, the invention moves the audio carrier outside the 4. O-MHz bandwidth.  The invention allows multiple channels, of 4.0 MHz bandwidth each, to be placed adjacent each other in a cable television spectrum, and the audio signals of the channels to be placed together, at the upper end of the spectrum, outside the range allocated to the video information.  A larger number of channels is obtained than would otherwise be available, because the upper end of the spectrum is not suitable for carrying video information, but will handle audio information.

Patent CA-2212140-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and equipment for the disposal of materials such as waste
Inventor: HASHIMOTO YOTARO
IPC: A62D3/38
Filed: 1996-01-31
Abstract: A mixture of a methylene chloride solution as a halogen-containing solvent or a chlorine-containing solvent with water is put in a treament tank to generate vapors. The generated methylene chloride vapor, water vapor, and occasionally surfactant vapor penetrate into a waste synthetic resin film (W). When the interior of the treatment tank (T) is evacuated, chloride ions (Cl-) and methylene free radicals (-CH2-) generated from the vapors exhibit an oxidative effect for a longer time more strongly than usual. This breaks a long-chain hydrocarbon molecule constituting the synthetic resin or the like to carbohydrates, alcohols, and water, so that the waste is dissolved or decomposed. Further, harmful components of PCB and fat or oil components of animals, fish and the like are decomposed.

Title: A method for treatment of halogen-containing waste material
Inventor: RASMUSSEN ERIK
IPC: A62D3/34
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: A method for treatment of halogen-containing waste material, in particular PVC-containing waste material, is disclosed, wherein the waste material in a decomposition step is heated in a reaction zone in a substantially closed system essentially without addition of water to a temperature between 150 and 750 °C, preferably 250 - 350 °C, in the presence of a halogen-reactive compound selected from alkali and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, alkali and alkaline earth metal carbonates and mixtures thereof, so as to establish a controllable autogenous pressure substantially above atmospheric pressure, in a sufficient reaction time to convert essentially all halogen present in the waste material to alkali or alkaline earth metal halides, said closed system preferably also comprising a condensation zone, where water vapour and volatile compounds liberated from the waste material are condensed. The remanence obtained in the decomposition step is washed with an aqueous solvent, preferably pure water, and the soluble and insoluble parts of the remanence are separated. By this method the halogen is removed from the waste without uncontrolled emission of halogen-containing acids to the environment.

Patent CA-2234053-A1 (CA)
Title: Wavelength sliced self-seeded pulsed laser
Inventor: LAROSE GILLES
IPC: H01S3/10
Filed: 1998-05-01
Abstract: A laser to produce pulses of light having predetermined spectral shapes, comprising a waveguide, an optical pump source, a gain medium to produce seed radiation, and a modulator and an array of Bragg gratings to modify the properties of the seed radiation. Once generated by the gain medium, the seed radiation propagates in the waveguide where it is first pulsed by the modulator. The resulting pulses are then selectively reflected by the Bragg gratings, which separates different spectral components of the reflected beam.      This reflected beam then travels back to the modulator, which is timed to let only the desired spectral components go through. In this manner the laser is self-seeded and allows spectrum and wavelength selection from pulse to pulse.
