Patent CA-2356618-A1 (CA)
Title: Sensing head and apparatus for determining the position and orientation of a target object
Inventor: BORIDY RAYMOND
IPC: G01S17/86
Filed: 2001-09-04
Abstract: A sensing head for providing bi-dimensional and tri-dimensional data determinative of a position and an orientation of a target object is provided. The sensing head combines both a bi-dimensional and a tri-dimensional sensors. General illumination is associated to the bi-dimensional sensor to allow the acquisition of bi-dimensional data representative of the target object. A stripe--shaped laser light output is projected and diffused on the target object and is sensed by the tri-dimensional sensor. Tri-dimensional data is thus acquired. By proper processing of the bi-dimensional and tri-dimensional data, the position and orientation of the target object may be determined without moving the sensor head and without knowing its position and orientation.

Abstract: The <i>C. elegans unc-63</i> gene is a levamisole resistance locus on chromosome I, which encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) .alpha.  subunit. The derived amino acid sequence of UNC-63 most closely resembles that of UNC-38. Using a gfp: <i>unc-63</i> fusion construct, expression has been detected in muscles (body wall, vulval) and motorneurons of <i>C. elegans</i>.  Nuclear injection into <i>Xenopus laevis</i> oocytes of <i>unc-63</i> cDNA  together with <i>lev-1</i> and <i>unc-29</i> results in the expression of a robust functional <i>C. elegans</i> heteromeric nAChR. The EC50 for ACh of the expressed receptor (20µM) resembles that of native nematode muscle nAChRs.  Nicotine and anthelmintic drug levamisole are agonists and mecamylamine is an antagonist of this expressed receptor. When <i>unc-38</i> cDNA is co-injected with cDNAs encoding <i>unc-63</i>, <i>lev-1</i> and <i>unc-29</i> much smaller amplitude agonist-activated currents are observed.
