Filed: 1999-07-26
Abstract: A fuel tank for a motor vehicle, comprising a tank body with a smaller reservoir which is arranged therein and which is inserted into the tank body through a closable opening in the wall thereof, and joined thereto. The reservoir is deformable at least in portions of the wall defining same.   After the reservoir has been at least partially inserted into the tank body. it undergoes a change in shape resulting in an increase in its volume within the tank body and a change in its cross-section such that the largest cross-section of the reservoir is larger than the cross-section of the opening of the wall in the tank body, that is available for insertion of the reservoir.    The reservoir is defined at its ends by rigid components and the deformable wall portion of the reservoir is in the region between those components.

Patent CA-2282368-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEVENS TODD A
IPC: B29C65/74
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: A package is provided with a lid and container that are heat selaed together. A multi-ply sheet material is provided for being thermoformed to define the container (30) which has a tapering wall and bulge-resistant bottom end. Prior to thermoforming the container from the sheet (90), the sheet is heated with oval pads on a plurality of plates which are arranged in a configuration to facilitate control of the sheet temperature. A plug is used in the thermoforming process to contact the sheet and position the sheet within a die (610). A lid sheet (92) is heat sealed to the container sheet over the thermoformed containers so as to produce a pair of spaced-apart, annular bead heat seals. The package is completed by severing the sealed-together sheets at the periphery of the container with a punch (604) and die set (600) that produces a clean, smooth cut surface.

Title: Method for culturing langerhans islets and islet autotransplantation islet regeneration
Inventor: YOON TAI-WOOK
IPC: C12N5/078
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: A method for culturing Langerhans islets to obtain an amount sufficient for transplant and autotransplant is disclosed. The islets are cultured in a culture serum (rat/human) medium which is supplemented with radical scavengers, growth factors, a matrix material, nerve growth factor, cell migrating/scattering factors and anti-integrin .beta.1 antibody at proper the time during the culturing process. The medium is supplemented with radical scavengers and growth factors for the first time and then further supplemented with matrix material, radical scavengers, nerve growth factor and the growth factors around 12-24 hours after culturing. Thereafter, supplemented with growth factors, cell migrating/scattering factors and anti-integrin .beta.1 antibody at 4-5 days into the culturing process. The culturing process is conduced for an extended period of time, so that any latent red blood cells are eliminated from the islet culture. The islets then continue to proliferate to produce an amount of islets which is sufficient for transplantation into a diabetic patient, including a human, to provide extended normoglycaemia and islet regeneration to fully treat diabetes mellitus without the growth of fibroblasts.
Patent CA-2289052-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WIDJAJA INDRA
IPC: H04L45/50
Filed: 1999-11-08
Abstract: A VC-merge capable ATM switch allows many routes to be mapped to the same VC label, thereby providing a scalable mapping that can support a large number of edge routers. Such VC merging uses reassembly buffers to insure that cells belonging to different packets intended for the same destination do not interleave with each other. An output-buffered ATM Label Switching Router (ATM LSR) is described that supports VC merging capability while incurring minimal additional buffering overhead compared to non-VC merging approaches.

Patent CA-2305064-A1 (CA)
Title: Data session setup system for wireless network
Inventor: RAHMAN MOHAMED ANISUR
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-04-12
Abstract: A wireless communication system uses a circuit switched link between a wireless unit and a base station to establish a data session with a network device in a packet data network. After the data session is established, the data session can proceed using a packet switched link between the wireless unit and the base station. By using the circuit switched link to send data session setup packets, the system avoids the delay associated with requesting and being allocated wireless resources in sending the setup packets using the packet switched link. Decreasing the delay associated with setting up the data session improves the data rate and throughput between the wireless communications system and the packet data network. For example, in an exemplary CDMA system, a circuit switched link is established to carry primary traffic (such as voice) and secondary traffic. The setup packets for the data session can be directly sent as secondary traffic on the circuit switched link, thereby avoiding the delay associated with sending the setup packets over a packet switched link. In this way, the round trip time (RTT) associated with setting up the data session can be reduced to improve the overall data rate and throughput through the wireless network to the packet data network.
Patent CA-2305534-A1 (CA)
Title: Frame-based audio coding with gain-control words
Inventor: TODD CRAIG CAMPBELL
IPC: G11B27/038
Filed: 1998-10-13
Abstract: Several audio signal processing techniques may be used in various combinations to improve the quality of audio represented by an information stream formed by splice editing two or more other information streams. The techniques are particularly useful in applications that bundle audio information with video information. In one technique, gain-control words conveyed with the audio information stream are used to interpolate playback sound levels across a splice. In another technique, special filterbanks or forms of TDAC transforms are used to suppress aliasing artifacts on either side of a splice. In yet another technique, special filterbanks or crossfade window functions are used to optimize the attenuation of spectral splatter created at a splice. In a further technique, audio sample rates are converted according to frame lengths and rates to allow audio information to be bundled with, for example, video information. In yet a further technique, audio blocks are dynamically aligned so that proper synchronization can be maintained across a splice. An example for 48 kHz audio with NTSC video is discussed.

Abstract: Antibodies which specifically bind to components of the DNA synthesome which are altered in malignant cells are disclosed. These antibodies can be used, inter alia, to diagnose, prognose, and treat malignancy and in assays to screen cells, tissues, and body fluids for the presence of a malignant phenotype. These antibodies can be further used to identify test compounds having the ability to suppress the malignant phenotype in a cell by assaying for the ability to inhibit or block the function of an altered component of the DNA synthesome associated with the malignant phenotype. Further disclosed herein are methods and kit for minimally invasively detecting the presence of neoplasms and malignant conditions using easily obtainable body fluids, such as blood, plasma, lymph, pleural fluid, spinal fluid, saliva, sputum, urine, and semen, for example, to both detect the presence of cancer as well as assess the stage of the disease and the prognosis of the patient. By detecting the presence of an altered form of a component of the DNA synthesome in body fluid, one can diagnose and prognose malignancy. The disclosed method and kit therefor can be used as a diagnostic biomarker for malignancy as well as a means of monitoring the progress and effectiveness of therapies.
