Title: Polymeric carriers for immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization
Inventor: KOSMEDER JERRY W
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2008-05-22
Abstract: Certain disclosed embodiments of the present invention concern the synthesis, derivatization, conjugation to immunoglobulins and signal amplification based on discrete, relatively short polymers having plural reactive functional groups that react with plural molecules of interest. Reactive functional groups, such as hydrazides, may be derivatized with a variety of detectable labels, particularly haptens. The remaining reactive functional groups may be conjugated directly to a specific binding molecule, such as to the oxidized carbohydrate of the Fc region of the antibody. Disclosed conjugates display large signal amplification as compared to those based on molecules derivatized with single haptens, and are useful for assay methods, particularly multiplexed assays.

Title: System and method for stereo matching of images
Inventor: IZZAT IZZAT
IPC: G06K9/68
Filed: 2007-06-20
Abstract: A system and method for stereo matching of at least two images, e.g., a stereoscopic image pair, employing a global optimization function, e.g., a belief propagation function, that utilizes dynamic programming as a preprocessing step are provided. The system and method of the present disclosure provide for acquiring a first image and a second image from a scene (402), estimating the disparity of at least one point in the first image with at least one corresponding point in the second image (404, 406), and minimizing the estimated disparity using a belief propagation function (410), e.g., a global optimization function, wherein the belief propagation function is initialized with a result of a deterministic matching function (408), e.g., dynamic programming, applied to the first and second image to speed up the belief propagation function. The system and method further generates a disparity map from the estimated disparity and converts the disparity map into a depth map.

Title: System and method for providing multi-protocol access to remote computers
Inventor: GEFFIN STEVEN
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2008-06-17
Abstract: A remote administration system's ability to communicate with remote computers using in-band communications is contingent on many factors (e.g., the operability of the network over which the in-band communications is carried and, to some extent, the correct operation of the software on the remote computer). Accordingly, there may come a time (e.g., during a network outage) where the remote administration system can no longer communicate with the remote computer over the preferred communications protocol (e.g., using in-band communications). In such a case, a status detector of the remote administration system may detect that an error has occurred (e.g., by "pinging" the remote computer and getting no response or by losing an open network connection) and then switch to a less preferred communications protocol (e.g., using out-of-band communications).     A remote administration system's ability to communicate (figure 1) with remote computers using m-band communications is contingent on many factors (e g, the operability of the network over which the m-band communications is carried and, to some extent, the correct operation of the software on the remote computer) Accordingly, there may come a time (e g, during a network outage) where the remote administration system can no longer communicate with the remote computer over the referred communications protocol (.beta. g using m-band communications) In such a case, a status detector of the remote administration system may detect that an error (figure 5) has occurred (e g, by "pinging" the remote computer and getting no response or by losing an open network connection) and then switch to a less preferred communications protocol (e g, using out-of-band communications)

Patent CA-2701837-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PYEON HONG BEOM
IPC: G11C16/30
Filed: 2008-12-19
Abstract: Each memory cell string in a generic NAND flash cell block connects to a Common Source Line (CLS). A value for applying to the CSL is centrally generated and distributed to a local switch logic unit corresponding to each NAND flash cell block. For source-line page programming, the distribution line may be called a Global Common Source Line (GCSL). In an array of NAND flash cell blocks, only one NAND flash cell block is selected at a time for programming. To reduce power consumption, only the selected NAND flash cell block receives a value on the CSL that is indicative of the value on the GCSL. Additionally, the CSLs of non-selected NAND flash cell blocks may be disabled through an active connection to ground.

On transforme ensuite le quadrillage régulier ainsi déformé en une surface quadrillée 3D, et on transforme en deux triangles chaque quadrilatère traversé  par une faille au niveau d'une diagonale. Enfin, après avoir itéré pour toutes les surfaces triangulées 3D, on génère le maillage en créant des liaisons entre les noeuds de surfaces quadrillées tridimensionnelles voisines, tout en respectant les failles.   - Applications à l'exploration pétrolière ou au stockage géologique.

Abstract: Méthode pour exploiter un milieu poreux souterrain par injection ou production d'un fluide, dans laquelle on interprète des sismiques répétitives en tenant compte de la bande de fréquence sismique dans l'évaluation des pressions de pore. Après inversion de données de sismiques 4D, on dispose d'au moins deux jeux de vitesses sismiques correspondants à des moments différents. On utilise alors une loi de puissance de type Hertz pour évaluer les pressions de pore, dans laquelle on détermine le coefficient de Hertz à partir de mesures ultrasonore ou soniques en laboratoires, puis en corrigeant ces coefficients à partir de mesure de l'atténuation des ondes ultrasonores ou soniques. On suit alors l'évolution du fluide au sein du milieu poreux en déterminant si une variation de vitesses sismiques est due à une variation de pression de pore ou à une substitution de fluide, au moyen de la loi de Hertz corrigée.

Abstract: The present invention concerns methods, compositions, and apparatus for the ICV administration of felbamate. In particular embodiments, ICV administration is advantageous for decreasing the systemic concentrations of felbamate, thereby decreasing side-effect toxicity, while allowing more effective delivery of felbamate to the site of action, simultaneously decreasing the dosage delivered to the individual. In particular embodiments, ICV  delivery may be of use for individuals who have previously proven to be refractory to systemic administration of anti-epilepsy agents, in some cases due to systemic side-effects, or for those individuals whose symptoms are of sufficient severity to warrant more aggressive therapeutic intervention. ICV administration allows not only lower systemic concentration but also higher therapeutically effective concentration within the CNS.
