Title: Apparatus and method for treatment of skin conditions using light
Inventor: BOARD KENNETH
IPC: F21V29/00
Filed: 2004-01-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the cosmetic appearance of a region of skin (11) affected by Acne Vulgaris, Rosacea or similar skin condition by means of directing light radiation (12) from an illuminating device (1) on to the skin (11). The apparatus (10) comprises a control unit (9) that operates one or more LEDs (7) (light emitting diodes) of the illuminating device (1).  Each dose of light radiation (12) lasts for at least 100ms, during which time the skin 11 receives light energy from the LED(s) (7), which causes a photochemical reaction that stimulates the production of free radicals (singlet oxygen) that react with, and at least partially disable or destroy, bacteria that contribute to the symptoms of the skin condition. The light energy directed on to the skin (11) during any given period of 10~s is less than 0.5 Jcm 2, and during any given period of 100ms is less than 5 Jcm-2.  Substantially no beneficial photo-thermal reaction occurs within the skin (11). Light having wavelengths around 405nm and/or 585nm is used. The duration of a single dose may be much longer than 100ms and can last up to 10 hours (for overnight treatment).

Abstract: - Méthode pour déterminer les couples sources/récepteurs spéculaires associé s à des images sismiques produites à partir d'une transformation d'enregistrements multi-déports d'ondes sismiques en fonction du temps dans le domaine profondeur. - Lors de la mise en oeuvre d'un algorithme de migration profondeur avant sommation de type Kirchhoff, l'on calcule et l'on conserve, en plus des nécessaires temps de trajet des rayons allant des sources et récepteurs du dispositif d'acquisition aux points image de l'image à migrer, également les paramètres de rais de ces rayons, ainsi que les quantités auxquelles on souhaite accéder in fine. Puis, une fois le volume migré avant sommation produit, on extrait les pentes locales d'événements sismiques d'intérêt pour les points image considérés. La comparaison entre paramètres de rais conservés lors de la migration et la normale aux pentes locales aux points image considérés, indique quel rayon est spéculaire parmi ceux dont on a conservé des informations, et permet de produire alors la quantité demandée, qui est alors dite quantité spéculaire. - Applications à l'imagerie sismique du sous-sol par exemple.

Title: Altered antibodies having improved antigen-binding affinity
Inventor: LUGOVSKOY ALEXEY ALEXANDROVICH
IPC: G16B15/20
Filed: 2004-07-26
Abstract: The invention relates to methods of modulating the antigen-binding affinity of an antibody by determining, using data corresponding to the structure of a complex between the antibody and an antigen in a solvent, a representation of a charge distribution of the CDRs of the antibody which minimizes electrostatic contribution to binding free energy between the antibody and the antigen in a solvent. Guided by these determinations, the antibody is accordingly modified (altered) to improve upon, e.g., antibody/antigen binding by modifying at least one amino acid residue to decrease the binding free energy between the antibody and antigen when bound in a solvent.
Patent CA-2534190-A1 (CA)
Title: Planar thermal array
Inventor: HIOASHI ROBERT E
IPC: H01L31/09
Filed: 2004-10-01
Abstract: A thermal sensor structure having one level for an infrared detecting pixel including the sensor associated electronics. The electronics displace a small area thereby having little effect on the fill area of the pixel relative to a level having no pixel electronics. That level has thermally isolation for the substrate through the limited structural attachment to the substrate because of the access vias to the silicon. It has additional isolation because of a pit of removed silicon from the substrate below that one level. The thermal sensor may have an array with a large number of pixels having the one level for the pixels and electronics structure.

Title: Efficient new e-mail discovery
Inventor: TOSEY JOSEPH PETER ROBERT
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2004-08-06
Abstract: New e-mail may be identified in an efficient manner in order to speed polling times by utilizing the unique identifiers assigned to e-mails. A unique identifier for the most recently received mail for the mail client or the predicted value for such may be compared with the last unique identifier to be assigned by the mail server. If the identifiers are equal, then no new messages have been received and the mail client need not download any headers, which saves a significiant amount of bandwidth. When the identifiers are not equal, the mail client need only download the new headers, which also saves bandwidths.
Patent CA-2535555-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RANGAN SUNDEEP
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2003-08-13
Abstract: The present invention involves apparatus and methods (Fig. 7) to perform wireless terminal transmission power control. The invention uses novel and highly efficient methods to: convey power control information, specify power control level adjustments, recognize power control information, limit interference in the power control signaling, and recognize corrupted power control signaling, thus conserving wireless terminal energy and minimizing power control signaling and associated bandwidth. Base stations send analog power control command signals, with a continuous range of control levels, to wireless terminals for transmission power adjustments. Power control signals include two components (721) which can be used to convey information, e.g., power control commands (702), signal quality, device identity information. For zero power adjustment, the control component signal is not transmitted. For a non-zero adjustment, power control signals are sent (710) using control ranges and limits, known to the base station and wireless terminal, with the scaling adjusted (706, 708) or synchronized based upon feedback information (704).

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to refreshing signal information in an infrastructure wireless node location mechanism. The wireless node location mechanism selectively terminates connections with wireless clients to refresh signal strength information used to compute an estimated location for the wireless clients. The wireless node location mechanism terminates the connection between a WLAN and a given wireless node, causing in typical WLAN  protocol implementations, the mobile station to transmit frames or packets on all available operating channels in a given band. This allows access points and other WLAN elements, operating on different frequency channels, to detect frames transmitted by the mobile station and provide refreshed signal strength information to a wireless node location mechanism.
