Patent CA-2460322-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ENGLISH PAUL
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems provide, at a virtual point-of-payment ("POP") at which a user is paying for goods or services, or when the user is recording a payment or otherwise using a financial management system, information for one or more alternative vendors from which the user may obtain the same or similar products. When the user employs the system to pay a bill, record a payment, or access a payee list, the system displays user-selectable vendor approval/disapproval icons (335, 340, e.g., "thumbs up"/"thumbs down") for the user to rate the vendor, products or transaction. If the user selects the "thumbs down" icon to express displeasure with a current vendor (or, alternatively, whenever a payment is recorded or a payee list accessed), a list of alternative vendors selected from a vendor database (440) is displayed, along with corresponding offerings, prices, user ratings (by other users), logos and other graphical information. Users can switch vendors (1002) by clicking or otherwise signaling their selection of a new vendor. Vendor switching is simplified by storing and transmitting, to the new vendor, user account information necessary to enable the new vendor to effectuate the switch-over. Vendors pay for inclusion in the vendor database, for advertising to targeted user groups, and for preferential placement. Customer account and spending information is aggregated for analysis and targeted marketing. The invention provides broad-based user registration and targeted advertising.

Abstract: An asymmetric multi-layer insulative film of improved internal adhesive strength is made by combining a layer of polyimide and a high-temperature bonding layer, the high-temperature banding layer being derived from a high temperature base polymer made of poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-perfluoro[alkyl vinyl ether]) (PFA) and optionally blended with from 0-60 weight percent poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP). The polyimide and high-temperature bonding layer laminate optionally also contains a layer of unsintered, partially sintered, or totally sintered polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bonded directly to the high-temperature bonding layer. In addition, the polyimide high-temperature bonding layer laminate may be adhered to a poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) adhesive primer layer to more effectively bond the polyimide care layer to the high-temperature bonding layer. This type of primer layer may also be used as a polyimide-to-metal bonding layer to assist bonding of the polyimide to a metal wire or metal layer.

Title: Quantitative assay for the simultaneous detection and speciation of bacterial infections
Inventor: ROTHMAN RICHARD ERIC
IPC: C12Q1/686
Filed: 2002-03-01
Abstract: An adaptation of the real-time PCR assay allows for highly sensitive detection of any eubacterial species with simultaneous speciation. The assay relies on a 'multiprobe' design in which a single set of highly conserved sequences encoded by the 16S rRNA gene serves as the primer pair, and it is used in combination with both an internal highly conserved sequence, the universal probe, and an internal variable region, the species-specific probe. A pre-PCR  ultrafiltration step can be used to effectively decontaminate or remove background DNA. The real-time system reliably identifies 14 common bacterial species with a detection limit of 50 fg. Figure 5 depicts the design of primers and probes for the assay.
