Patent CA-2318641-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOILLON CHARLES J
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: The invention provides an in vitro avascular human corneal equivalent that comprises immortalized human cell lines. As these corneal equivalents are in vitro models, they are maintained in an incubator throughout the testing period, thereby eliminating the problems and expense associated with animal care. The corneal equivalent is preferably surrounded by a matrix in which angiogenesis (formation of capillary-like structures) can occur in vitro. This surrounding matrix has the potentioal to play the role of a pseudo-sclera, allowing the in vitro assessment of the cornea's angiogenic reaction to any substance or injury. Furthermore, the model is capable of being produced easily, is physiologically functional and can give predictable and quantifiable results when submitted to various drugs, chemicals and/or physical trauma. Modifications can be made, such as the use of primary donor cells instead of cell lines; and the physical and chemical treatments of the matrix material to make the constructs suitable for use in transplantation.

Title: Tokenless vending system
Inventor: PONS ROBERT M
IPC: G06Q20/04
Filed: 2000-10-17
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for tokenless vending, and tokenless shopping enable an account holder to buy goods and services without having to be in possession of cash, cards, or any other physical token of value or identity. To make a purchase, the purchaser simply inputs his account number and password on a keypad at a vending machine or other point of sale. The point of sale equipment transmits the account code and password to a central server. The server determines whether the said at least one code input by the purchaser agrees with the at least one identifying code associated with an active account. The vendor system confirms, either at the server or at the point of sale, that the price of the desired goods or services does not exceed the available credit on the purchaser's account. If all is in order, the goods or services are provided to the purchaser at the point of sale, and the server reduces the available credit on the account accordingly.

Patent CA-2324741-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEUNG TING YU
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: A mechanism for supporting generated materialized columns without explicitly  adding triggers and a check constraint in a database management system (DBMS). When  a column affecting the generated materialized column is updated, a "before-update" trigger is internally generated in the DBMS and added as the last trigger before the update occurs. Similarly, when  an insert operation is performed, a "before-insert" trigger is generated internally by the DBMS and added as the last trigger before the insert operation occurs. Since the triggers are generated  internally in the DBMS, a constraint is not needed for either the update or the insert operations.</ SDOAB>

Patent CA-2329479-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for defining location services
Inventor: HAYES STEPHEN
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 1999-04-19
Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for defining location services in a simplified manner based upon whether the positioning request is an interactive request or a batch mode request. In order to initiate a positioning request, a Location Application (LA) must first register with at least one Mobile Location Center (MLC), define the service parameters specific for that LA and receive a Location Application Identifier Number (LAIN). Thereafter, the LA can send either an interactive or batch mode positioning request along with the LAIN. An interactive positioning request is a request to position a specific subscriber or group of subscribers immediately, while a batch mode positioning request is a request to position a subscriber or group of subscribers when a particular event defined by the LA occurs. The definition of location services is decoupled from issues, such as the point of origin of the request, the identity of the subscriber to be positioned and authorization options.
