Patent CA-2334400-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOOD C FRED
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 1998-03-16
Abstract: An apparatus and method for combining NIR spectography with a combine (10) for measuring major constituents of harvested grain in real time includes a monochrometor (32) having no moving optical parts. The monochrometor (32) includes a fixed diffraction grating (38) and a photodiode collector (40) comprised of a plurality of photodiodes (54).  A radiation source (44) irradiates a grain sample (51) while a bundle of fiber optic strands transmits the reflected radiation to the diffraction grating (38). By analyzing the intensities and wavelengths of the reflected radiation at the photodiode collector (40), the presence and amount of major constituents of the harvested grain can be determined. The present invention may be used on a research combine (10) along with the conventional instrumentation which measures the weight, moisture, and volume of grain harvested in a test plot.
Patent CA-2335243-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TUCKER BRENDA N
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1999-12-01
Abstract: The present invention allows a single trigger, such as a Termination Attempt Trigger, to invoke multiple feature service logic programs (feature SLPs) through the use of a Feature Interaction Manager service logic program (FIM-SLP) installed at a service control point (SCP). A database, accessible by the service control point, contains subscriber information such as the type of services subscribed and the order in which the services are to be invoked. The Feature Interaction Manager service logic program invokes individual feature SLPs based on the information contained in the database that specify how the feature SLPs will interact. In one embodiment, the present invention allows multiple services to be deployed within a common service control point. In a different embodiment, the Feature Interaction Manager service logic program located in a first service control point can also invoke features SLPs that are located in other service control points. The Feature Interaction Manager SLP and the feature SLPs can reside on the same SCP. Alternatively, the Feature Interaction Manager SLP and feature SLPs can reside on multiple SCPs.  In the case of multiple SCPs, the Feature Interaction Manager SLP can reside by itself or can be co-located with one or more feature SLPs.

Abstract: L'épithélium des voies aériennes bien différencié est le principal tissu cible pour une thérapie génique destinée à traiter la mucoviscidose. Toutefois, des études récentes ont montré que les véhicules de distribution de gène, tels que les complexes lipides/ ADN cationiques, peuvent être inefficaces pour les lier à des cellules épithéliales polarisées et les transformer en de telles cellules. L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'améliorer la thérapie génique, au moyen d'un composé capable d'interrompre des jonctions serrées. Dans la pratique de l'invention, la transfection d'une molécule biologiquement active par un complexe moléculaire biologiquement actif/amphiphile cationique, un autre lipide ou des vecteurs viraux ou non viraux, est améliorée par traitement des cellules avec des composés d'une classe connue dans la technique, sous forme de composés renforceurs d'absorpsion ou interrupteurs de jonction serrée.

Patent CA-2340856-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SWISZCZ PAUL G
IPC: E06B9/36
Filed: 2001-03-15
Abstract: A covering for an architectural opening includes a new system for mounting the controls for the covering within the head rail such that suspended vertical vanes are closely positioned relative to the bottom of a head rail and disposed so as to form a continuous and integrated look with the head rail. An improved pantograph is used in the control system with one set of links of the pantograph having tapered side edges to improve stacking of the vanes adjacent to the end of a head rail without sacrificing strength and therefore quality of the control system. An improved operating system in the form of the combination of a tilt wand, coupler and pull cord provides a simplified system for not only moving the vanes along the length of the head rail between extended and retracted positions but for also pivoting the vanes about longitudinal vertical axis between open and closed positions. An improved system for connecting suspended vanes to the control system is also provided with the system being uniquely designed for use with tubular vanes and retains the vanes in a tubular orientation. The tilt wand is connected to the tilt rod within the head rail by an inclined drive connector that enables the tilt wand to be aligned with the pull cord at the location where the pull cord drops from the head rail for manipulation by an operator. In this manner, the combined tilt wand and pull cord establish a substantially child-proof operating system for the covering.

Title: A handle for manipulation of a stylet used for deflecting a tip of a lead or catheter
Inventor: GANG ELI
IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 1999-10-12
Abstract: A deflectable stylet (16) comprises a hollow tube (not shown) with a reduced  diameter distal portion including a semi-cylindrical ground portion (not shown) to provide flexibility wherein tension is applied to a wire (not show n) fixed to the distal end of the hollow tube. The hollow tube is longitudinall y coupled to a tip at its distal end, and to a rotatable nut (204) at its proximal end. The rotatable nut (206) is attached to a rotationally fixed handle (202). When the nut (206) is rotated in a first direction, increased wire tension causes the stylet (16) to curve at its distal end (shown). Rotation of the nut in the opposite direction reduces wire tension which straightens the stylet (16) (dashed lines). A conical tip (204) of the handl e attached to the catheter provides stress relief to the stylet (16). The tip is freely rotatable with respect to the handle, but can be locked to the termin al pin of an active fixation pacemaker lead (not shown).

Title: Implants comprising combinations of allogeneic cells for use in cancer treatment
Inventor: GRANGER GALE A
IPC: A61K35/17
Filed: 1998-10-09
Abstract: This invention provides methods and compositions for treating tumors by implanting near the tumor and alloactivated cell population. The cell population is made up of a plurality of third-party donor cells that have been cultured together ex vivo, and harvested near the time of peak cytokine secretion. Once placed in the tumor bed, the alloactivated cells recruit active participation of the host, which then reacts against the tumor and provides a level of ongoing protection. Employing multiple third party donor cells confers particular advantages in terms of effectiveness, timing, and ease of use.

Abstract: There is provided a conductive rope-like lead-in cable for connecting a seismic streamer to a towing vessel. The lead-in cable comprises a first electrical conductor at the center core of the cable for carrying a first polarity of power to the streamer. A first layer of insulation surrounds the first electrical conductor. A second electrical conductor for carrying a second polarity of power to the streamer surrounds the first layer of insulation. A second layer of insulation surrounds the second electrical conductor. A layer of seismic data conductors for carrying seismic data signals from the streamer surrounds the second layer of insulation.

Filed: 2001-12-17
Abstract: When the number of rotations of a drive source has fallen below a predetermined value, clutch moving members are disengaged from a clutch drum by clutch resilient members, and thus the clutch drum is caused, by a braking resilient member, to resiliently slide back to a predetermined braking position where a brake shoe is pressed against brake pads to apply the brakes. When the number of rotations of the source unit has increased above a predetermined value, the clutch moving members are caused to slide radially outward by centrifugal force in such a manner that the clutch moving members press and axially slide the clutch drum to a non-braking position against the bias of the braking resilient member, so that the brake shoe is disengaged from the brake pads to release the brakes.
