Patent CA-2273029-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MESECHER DAVID K
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 1998-05-26
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une fonction de communication pour systèmes de communication. Cette fonction de communication utilise un système d'antennes qui est couplé à un émetteur/récepteur RF, lequel est à son tour couplé à un autre équipement processeur de signaux, comprenant au moins un modem pour le traitement des communications CDMA individuelles. Ce système d'antennes comprend de préférence de multiples antennes et unités de temporisation et il émet un signal combiné ayant une distorsion connue occasionnée par le système d'antennes. Le signal combiné est à son tour traité par le modem. Le modem compense la distorsion connue de façon à produire un gain de signal accru. Ce gain de signal accru permet de réduire la puissance de transmission et, par conséquent, d'accroître la capacité du système CDMA. Lorsque le système d'antennes doit être installé à distance de l'équipement processeur de signaux, on prévoit des unités séparées pour l'émetteur/récepteur RF et pour l'autre équipement processeur de signaux, de telle sorte que l'émetteur/récepteur RF peut également être installé à distance avec le système d'antennes. On prévoit de préférence un câble de connexion d'au moins 20 pieds, qui fournit des signaux RF et l'alimentation en courant continu à l'émetteur/récepteur RF à partir de l'autre équipement processeur de signaux.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for the animation, driven by an audio signal, of a synthesised human face model are described, that allow the animation of any model complying with the ISO/IEC standard 14496 ("MPEG-4 standard"). The concerned phonemes are derived from the audio signal, and the corresponding visemes are identified within a set comprising both visemes defined by the standard and visemes typical of the language. Visemes are split into macroparameters that define shape and positions of the mouth and jaw of the model and that are associated to values indicating a difference from a neutral position. Such macroparameters are then transformed into face animation parameters complying with the standard, the values of which define the deformation to be applied to the model in order to achieve animation (Fig. 2).

Patent CA-2296019-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOSTER JAMIE WILLIAM
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-07-02
Abstract: The invention provides a collection of paired samples from a plurality of mutagenised animals, wherein each paired sample comprises: a first sample comprising genetic screening material from a parent animal; and a second sample comprising reproductive material from that same parent animal. The reproductive material is preferably gametes. It also provides methods for producing and screening the collection, for instance to identify a gamete sample in such a collection known to carry a mutation in a gene of interest.  This gamete sample can be used to generate an animal carrying that same mutation. The mutant animal is useful for investigating the function of the gene, and might also be a useful animal model for studying human disease. In effect, therefore, the mutations in a population of mutagenised animals are immortalised and animals carrying particular mutations of interest can be produced easily without the need to maintain a living animal population.

Title: Medical fluid flow control valve
Inventor: PAUL RAM H JR
IPC: A61M39/06
Filed: 1998-07-30
Abstract: A valve (10) useful as a fluid flow check valve or as a self-sealing, penetrable, hemostatic valve for sealing a catheter introducer (12) includes a seal (26) which is highly resistant to tearing and leakage, yet is capable of accepting repeated penetrations by devices of a wide variety of diameters. The seal (26) is disk-shaped and is composed of a thermoplastic styrenic elastomer, such as a styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer, of low durometer (a hardness of no more than about 30 Shore A). The seal (26) is preferably contained in a valve body (40) and is compressed between a valve seat (48) in the valve body (40) and a cap (56) connected to the valve body (40). The seal (26) includes at least one perforation (34) closed by such compression. This compression also provides the seal (26) with a proximal or upstream concave surface (30), making it highly resistant to inversion during repeated removals and manipulations of interventional devices passing through the valve (10). The valve (10) of the present invention is particularly advantageous in that is seals the introducer (12) with a high degree of effectiveness when no interventional device lies across its seal (26), and in that it offers a high resistance to tearing when penetrated by devices of large diameter. The valve (10) also allows the easy passage of devices without interfering with tactile feedback ("feel") from them.
