Patent CA-2543614-A1 (CA)
Inventor: POLK MATTHEW S JR
IPC: H04R5/02
Filed: 2004-10-25
Abstract: A surround sound reproduction system uses a series of filters and a system of main and sup-speakers to produce phantom rear surround sound channels or a phantom surround sound effect from a loudspeaker system or pair of loudspeaker systems located in front of the listener. The sound system includes left and right surround input signals, and left and right front input signals. Left and right sub-speakers, and left and right main speakers are located in front of a listening location. Spacing between respective main and sub-speakers is approximately equal to ear spacing for an average person. The input to the left sub-speaker comprises the right surround signal subtracted from the left surround signal each signal having previously passed through a front-to-back filter and a series of high and low pass filters. The input into the left main speaker comprises the left front signal added to the left surround signal after the left surround signal has passed through a front-to-back filter. The input into the right sub-speaker comprises the left surround signal subtracted from the right surround signal each signal having previously passed through a front-to-back filter and a series of high and low pass filters. The input into the right main speaker comprises the right front signal added to the right surround signal after the right surround signal has passed through a front-to-back filter.

Abstract: A communication system includes a plurality of access terminals, and an access network. The access network schedules a transmission of data in a time interval from one of the access terminals. The access network selects a multiple access transmission mode from a plurality of multiple access transmission modes, and broadcasts the selected multiple access transmission mode to the access terminals. The selected mode may include a mode in which data is code-division-multiplexed during the time interval, and modes in which data is code-division-multiplexed during a first portion of the time interval, and data is either time-division-multiplexed or orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexed during a second portion of the time interval.

Title: Genotyping of multiple loci with pcr for different loci amplification at different temperatures
Inventor: YANG JIACHENG
IPC: C12P19/34
Filed: 2005-05-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of performing simulltaneous PCR amplification of several designated different loci in a sample each including a different target subsequence, using a set of pairs of forward and reverse primers, wherein the pairs are complementary to target subsequences, where different primer pairs are in different reaction chambers and the sample is also present in the reaction chambers, and wherein different primer pairs have different sequences. Different reaction chambers are provided different annealing temperatures, preferably at the same time, such that the annealing temperatures selected enhance annealing conditions for the primer pairs and the target subsequences within the reaction chambers. The method allows PCR to proceed more quickly, which is important to increase throughput in a multiplexed assay, and can be particularly important for HLA-typing in a transplantation setting.

Title: Evaluation of a treatment to decrease the risk of a progressive brain disorder or to slow brain aging
Inventor: REIMAN ERIC M
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: For real persons at risk for Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease, or brain aging, a measurement's rate of change can be characterized during or following the real persons' treatment with disease-preventing or neurological age-slowing therapy. For hypothetical persons similar to the real persons at risk for these conditions but who are not so treated, the measurement's rate of change can be characterized over a like time interval. The disease-~preventing or age-slowing therapy's efficacy is suggested by a smaller measurement rate of change over the like time interval in the real persons treated than in the hypothetical persons not so treated, even in the absence of clinical decline over the time interval. Measurements of neurodegenerative disease progression will have significantly higher rates of change in persons clinically affected by or at risk for the disease than in those persons at lower risk for the neurodegenerative disease.
