Patent CA-2290770-A1 (CA)
Title: Lightweight interior moulding
Inventor: SANTAROSSA NED
IPC: E04F19/04
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a lightweight gypsum coated decorative moulding, for installation on an interior building surface. The moulding is lightweight and flexible enough to withstand handling without cracking of the finished gypsum surface of the moulding. A gypsum coated surface is advantageous in that: fire resistance is enhanced; the moulding can be painted and repaired easily; and liquid gypsum compound can be used as an adhesive to install the lightweight moulding without mechanical fasteners or other support. Bevel joints can be cut with standard carpentry tools and the joints can be secured with liquid gypsum compound as well. The use of liquid gypsum compound as an adhesive and finishing coat ensures accurate fitting and finishing of joints as well as ease of repair. The moulding has an elongate foam core of a resilient expanded polystyrene foam solid, having a cross-sectional profile proportionately smaller than the desired cross-sectional profile of the finished decorative moulding. The core has a rear surface, a decorative surface, and the rear surface includes at least one elongate mounting face for mounting the moulding to the interior building surface. Covering the decorative surface of the foam is a base coating core of hard granular particles, such as silica sand, suspended in an acrylic matrix. The base coating is adapted for liquid application and is cured to produce a relatively rough surface. Covering the base coating on the decorative surface, is a finish coating of gypsum powder suspended in an acrylic matrix. The finish coating is adapted for liquid application and is cured to produce a relatively smooth finished surface.

Abstract: The fixed pattern noise of an analog memory is reduced. The transmission paths of an address selection signal (SL) between an address generating unit (10) and memory devices (21) are so constructed so that the electrical characteristics when the address selection signal (SL) drives the memory devices (21) are nearly uniform to an extent that fixed pattern noise is not included in the output signal of the analog memory. A buffer unit (50) which stores the address selection signal temporarily and outputs it is provided between the address generating unit (10) and the memory devices (21) and the output characteristics of the buffer unit (50) are uniform for the memory devices (21). Further, the wiring between the buffer unit (50) and the memory devices (21) are so constructed that the electrical characteristics of the wiring are nearly uniform. With this construction, the charge feed-through noise of the memory devices (21) can be nearly uniform, and the fixed pattern noise can be suppressed.

IPC: H04W40/00
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: A communication device for transporting data traffic exchanged between a first and a second end station, where the second end station is mobile in a data network. The communication device includes an address translator that provides to data packets traveling in the reverse direction of data flow, from the second end station to the first end station, translated location addresses when the first end station receiving the data packets is mobile within a data network. The address translator permits passage of data packets traveling in the reverse direction of data flow without providing the data packets with translated location addresses when the first end station receiving the data packets is fixed within the data network. The data packets received by the communication device in the forward direction of data flow, from the first end station to the second end station, have translated location addresses. The address translator is operative to replace the translated location addresses of the data packets traveling in the forward direction of data flow with an identity destination address that is recognizable by the second end station as being uniquely representative of the second end station.

Abstract: A vehicle article carrier specifically adapted for use with a pickup truck.  The article carrier includes a pair of elongated roof rails adapted to be fixedly secured to an outer body surface of the vehicle. Each roof rail has a first portion having a length adapted to extend over the roof of a cab portion of the vehicle, and a second portion adapted to extend down along the rear of the cab portion. A cross member is secured between the second portions of the roof rails. At least one clamping assembly is included which can be clamped to the cross member. The clamping assembly has a pair of posts which are adapted to support the outermost ends of the tines of the front fork of a bicycle once the front wheel of the bicycle is removed. The bicycle can thus be supported in an upright position within the bed of the pickup truck without external fastening cords. The vehicle article carrier further does not take up any appreciable cargo space within the bed area when it is not in use.

Title: Method and system for dynamic downlink power control in a time-division, multiplex wireless system
Inventor: CHENG TERRY SI-FONG
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: A method for controlling downlink power in a time-division multiplex wireless system may provide different downlink transmit signal powers to different time-division multiplex channels of a single carrier. A base station receives a measured signal parameter data for a downlink transmit signal of a time-division multiplex channel. The base station determines an initial adjustment for the downlink transmit signal power of the time division multiplex channel if the measured signal parameter data differs from a target signal parameter data.  The base station determines a revised adjustment for the downlink transmit power of the time division multiplex channel based on the initial adjustment and at least one adjustment range as appropriate to achieve synchronization of the demodulation of the downlink transmit signal.
Patent CA-2336220-A1 (CA)
Inventor: XIE TING
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1999-07-23
Abstract: The TGF-.beta. family of growth factors, particularly the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2/4 homolog decapentaplegic (dpp), are specifically required to maintain germline stem cells and promote their division. Overexpression of dpp blocks germline stem cell differentiation. Mutations in dpp or its receptor saxophone accelerate stem cell loss and retard stem cell division. dpp signaling is directly received by germline stem cells, and thus dpp signaling helps define a niche that controls germline stem cell proliferation.

Title: Utilisation d'arn de prohibitine dans le traitement du cancer
Inventor: JUPE ELDON R
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 1999-07-24
Abstract: On a découvert que l'introduction d'oligonucléotides d'ADN et d'ARN à un seul brin, en particulier d'ARN transcrit à partir de segments de prohibitine 3'UTR de type sauvage, dans des tumeurs provoquait l'arrêt de la prolifération cellulaire. On a observé une réduction importante de la taille de tumeurs primaires suite à l'administration directe d'ARN de prohibitine 3'UTR. On a également observé une induction de l'immunité systémique, telle que matérialisée par la disparition de métastases ainsi que le manque de croissance des tumeurs chez des animaux chez lesquels on a repris le traitement suite à un traitement par ARN de prohibitine. Ainsi, on peut directement administrer, comme agents thérapeutiques contre des tumeurs, des ARN de type sauvage transcrits à partir de segments de prohibitine 3'UTR, ou des ADN à un seul brin formés de segments de prohibitine 3'UTR, ou des oligonucléotides des mêmes séquences obtenus par synthèse.
