Patent CA-2548986-A1 (CA)
Title: Media storage and distribution in a local area network
Inventor: CLARK EVAN WILLIAM
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2004-12-10
Abstract: Software for storing and distributing media in a local area network is disclosed. The software comprises library software and player. The library software manages encrypted media files, for example, video files, and sends them to the player on request. The media files may be chapterised and the player may request one or more chapters. The player decodes the encrypted file and displays it. The player improves performance by using predictive chapter buffering, requesting the transfer of the next chapter from the library at time so that the file is completely received and ready to play at the time the current media playing is complete. The player minimises the number of requests to the library by automatically creating a public folder of received files so that requests for one of the received files in the folder are transferred from the library to the player.

Patent CA-2583576-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OGIHARA TOSHIO
IPC: C12N15/113
Filed: 2005-10-20
Abstract: It is intended to provide a drug for preventing, ameliorating or treating vascular restenosis, ischemic diseases, allergic diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, cancer metastasis or infiltration (cancerous metastasis/infiltration) or cachexia based on the inhibition of a plural number of transcriptional regulators. Namely, a chimeric (double) decoy (a decoy molecule) having a plural number of transcriptional regulator-binding sequences per molecule. Thus, it can inhibit a plural number of transcriptional regulator-inhibiting activities by a single molecule. For example, stenosis in an inosculation site of an artificial vessel is resulted from thickening in the vascular endosporium mainly caused by activated cell proliferation due to an inflammatory reaction in the inosculation site. By simultaneously inhibiting two transcriptional regulators participating in the inflammation and the cell proliferation with the use of the above-described chimeric decoy, therefore, the thickening in the vascular wall can be inhibited.

Title: System and method for anchoring suture to bone
Inventor: SINNOTT M MARY
IPC: A61B17/58
Filed: 2005-12-08
Abstract: A system for attaching soft tissue to bone includes an anchor, a suture, and a tissue retainer. The anchor may have a threaded tip that engages the bone, and a suture retention portion with passageways arranged such that each of first and second anchor portions of the suture can be drawn through the passageways along only a single direction. The tissue retainer has passageways through which the suture can freely move in either direction. Thus, the anchor and the tissue retainer may be attached to bone and tissue, respectively, and the suture may be drawn to substantially irreversibly draw the bone and tissue together. In alternative embodiments, an anchor may receive only one portion of suture and/or one suture end may be affixed to the anchor. The anchor may alternatively permit free motion of the suture, while the tissue retainer permits passage of the suture along only one direction.

Title: Breast biopsy system and method
Inventor: BURBANK FRED H
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 1999-03-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for precisely isolating a target lesion in a patient's body tissue, resulting in a high likelihood of "clean" margins about the lesion when it is removed for diagnosis and/or therapy. This approach advantageously will often result in the ability to both diagnose and treat a malignant lesion with only a single percutaneous procedure, with no follow-up percutaneous or surgical procedure required, while minimizing the risk of migration of possible cancerous cells from the lesion to surrounding tissue or the bloodstream. In particular, the apparatus comprises a biopsy instrument having a distal end adapted for entry into the patient's body, a longitudinal shaft, and a cutting element disposed along the shaft. The cutting element is actuatable between a radially retracted position and a radially extended position. Advantageously, the instrument is rotatable about its axis in the radially extended position to isolate a desired tissue specimen from surrounding tissue by defining a peripheral margin about the tissue specimen. Once the tissue specimen is isolated, it may be segmented by further manipulation of the cutting element, after which the tissue segments are preferably individually removed from the patient's body through a cannula or the like.  Alternatively, the specimen may be encapsulated and removed as an intact piece.

Title: Location reporting with secure user plane location (supl)
Inventor: WACHTER ANDREAS
IPC: H04W4/021
Filed: 2006-08-25
Abstract: Techniques for supporting periodic and other location services with Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) and other location architectures are described. The techniques can provide position estimates for a SUPL enabled terminal (SET) to a SUPL agent periodically and/or based on trigger events. A Home SUPL Location Platform (H-SLP) receives from the SUPL agent a request for position estimates for the SET. The H-SLP starts a SUPL location session with the SET. For each of at least one reporting event during the location session, the H-SLP obtains a position estimate for the SET and sends the position estimate to the SUPL  agent. The position estimate may be derived by the SET and sent to the H-SLP.  Alternatively, the position estimate may be derived by the H-SLP based on measurements from the SET.
