Patent CA-2135940-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WREEDE JOHN E
IPC: G03H1/26
Filed: 1994-11-16
Abstract: A hologram structure for use in a holographic center high mounted stoplight system for a vehicle.  The hologram structure includes an illumination source (30) for providing a reconstruction beam,  a first array  (31)  of non-overlapping hologram cells and non-hologram cells, and a second array  (32)  of non-overlapping hologram and non-hologram cells.   Each hologram cell of the first array produces a specular image that is viewable in a first predetermined angular field pursuant to diffraction of a portion of the reconstruction beam, and each hologram cell of the second array produces a diffuse  image that  is viewable in a second predetermined angular field pursuant to diffraction of a portion of the reconstruction beam. The specular images and diffuse images produced by the first and second holograms form stoplight illumination.

Title: Magazine for read/write disks and method and device for reading and writing of said read/write disks
Inventor: OGAWA HISASHI
IPC: G11B17/22
Filed: 1994-12-09
Abstract: To reduce the size of a read/write device, to eliminate the necessity for high precision in a magazine and in positional relationship between various parts, such as positional relationship between the magazine and its open/close mechanism,  the invention calls for a magazine comprising an inner body and an outer body which can be moved in the direction in which disks are stacked, the inner body and the outer body thus opening and closing while they remain connected to each other.  A plurality of disks  stacked  one  atop  another  are  contained  in  the magazine.  Mechanisms provided at a side of the magazine release the inner body and the outer body from each other and move read/write disks CD in the direction in which the disk are stacked, thereby forming a space any two adjacent disks CD.   A read/write unit is inserted into the space formed between read/write disks CD.  By means of a driving system of read/write unit, a read/write disk CD which faces the space is rotated.   By means of a laser pickup of read/write unit, data is read from or written onto rotating read/write disk CD.

Inventor: DEDHAR SHOUKAT
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1995-01-23
Abstract: This invention relates to isolated and purified proteins, such as calreticulin and mimetics of calreticulin, for a novel use of modulating hormone responsiveness. These proteins are useful in gene therapy and in manufacturing pharmaceuticals for treating a variety of diseases, including cancer, osteoporosis and chronic inflammatory disease. The proteins include or bind to an amino acid sequence KXFFYR, wherein X is either G, A or V and Y is either K or R. This sequence is present in the DNA-binding domain, and is critical for the DNA binding activity, of a variety of hormone receptors, including glucocorticoid receptor, minerolcorticoid receptor, androgen receptor, progesterone receptor, estrogen receptor, retinoic acid receptor, thyroid hormone receptor and vitamin D receptor. Proteins which bind to this sequence may inhibit hormone receptor induced gene transcription. Proteins which include this sequence may promote hormone receptor induced gene transcription. The invention includes isolated DNA molecules for these proteins,methods of treating diseases using these proteins, synthetic peptides and their mimetics, and kits containing these proteins, synthetic peptides or their mimetics.

Title: Androgen regulation with dna sequences of rat probasin gene
Inventor: MATUSIK ROBERT J
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 1993-08-09
Abstract: A DNA sequence (-426 to +28 base pairs) cloned from the probasin (PB) gene promoter region confers androgen regula-tion in cell culture and prostate specific expression in transgenic non-human eukaryotic animals. Various PB promoter fragments impart preferential regulation by androgens compared to other steroid hormones on fused transgenes. Alteration of the DNA se-quences and/or combinations permits production of an (1) assay for androgenic or anti-androgenic materials, (2) transgenic non-human eukaryotic animals models for prostatic disease, (3) cell culture models for prostatic disease, and (4) treatment of human benign prostatic hyperplasia and human prostate cancer by gene therapy. This invention permits assays on agonist and antagon-ist of the androgen receptor or pathways that result in androgen action, testing materials for carcinogenicity of the prostate, test-ing drugs and gene therapy, or protection potential of materials on prostatic cells against prostatic disease.

Patent CA-2149683-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for motion field estimation, segmantation and coding
Inventor: EBRAHIMI TOURADJ
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 1995-05-18
Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved method and apparatus for prediction coding with motion estimation, in which the frame-to-frame changes resulting from motion in an image depicted in a video frame are detected and coded for transmission to a video receiver. The motion estimation technique of the present invention uses a hierarchical approach in which a motion vector updating routine is performed with respect to multiple levels of smaller and smaller regions of a frame.  The motion vector updating routine updates the motion vector of a smaller region by assigning to it a best motion vector selected from among an initial motion vector assigned to the smaller region, motion vectors of neighboring regions, and a matched motion vector obtained by performing a block matching technique for the smaller region.  The best motion vector for each region is selected according to a priority scheme and a predetermined threshold value.  Adjacent regions having the same motion vector are then merged together, and a region shape representation routine is used to specify contour pixels that will allow the merged regions to be recovered by a decoder.  A contour coding routine is then used to encode the contour pixels for transmission to the decoder.  The present method requires less information about the motion field to be sent to the decoder and results in an improved prediction error compared to the H.261 standard currently used.  The present invention is particularly advantageous for very low bit-rate applications.

Patent CA-2167857-A1 (CA)
Title: Running tool
Inventor: SMITH SIDNEY K JR
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 1996-01-23
Abstract: A running tool particularly useful for running liners on coiled tubing is disclosed. A torque-transmitting outer sleeve is employed which initially traps the collets. The collets are engaged to the liner by relative mechanical movement and thereafter lock in a secured position to the liner, regardless of whether the liner is placed in tension or compression by the running tool. Release is accomplished by letting down weight on the running tool, coupled with hydraulic pressure to shear a pin securing the collet mechanism. Upon such a hydraulic release with the pin sheared, the outer torque sleeve shifts downwardly to prevent relatching.  Torque is transmitted through the outer torque sleeved and not through the latching collets.
