Patent CA-2608772-C (CA)
Inventor: BADR GHADA
IPC: G06K9/62
Filed: 2006-04-04
Granted: 2013-06-18
Abstract: This invention relates to the Pattern Recognition (PR) of noisy/inexact strings and sequences and particularly to syntactic Pattern Recognition. The present invention presents a process by which user can recognize an unknown sting X, which is an element of a finite, but possibly larger Dictionary, H, by processing the information contained in its noisy/inexact version, Y, where Y is assumed to contain substitution, insertion or deletion errors. The recognized string, which is the best estimate X+ of X, is defined as that element of H which minimizes the Generalized Levenshtein Distance D(X, Y) between X and Y, for all X < H. Rather than evaluate D(X5Y) for every X < H sequentially, the present invention achieves this simultaneously for every X < H by representing the Dictionary as a Trie, and searching the Trie using a new Al-based search strategy.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of drug development against acute radiation injury caused by exposure to high-energy electromagnetic waves (X-rays, gamma rays) or particles (alpha particles, beta particles, neutrons). To date, there is no effective drug to ameliorate radiation injury after accidental exposure to ionizing irradiation. The invention provides a method of treating radiation injury of a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a peptide, or functional analogue or derivative thereof, of smaller than 30 amino acids. Furthermore, the invention provides use of a peptide, or functional analogue or derivative thereof, of smaller than 30 amino acids for the production of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of a subject suffering from or believed to be suffering from radiation injury. In particular, the invention provides anti-radiation peptides having a dose reduction factor (DRF) against acute gamma irradiation of at least 1.10, said DRF determinable by testing which dose of radiation results in 50% mortality at 30 days (LD50/30) after whole body radiation (WBI) in a test group of mice treated with said peptide at 72 hours after WBI and, testing which dose of radiation results in 50% mortality at 30 days (LD50/30) after whole body radiation (WBI) in a control group of mice treated only with the vehicle of said peptide at 72 hours after WBI and wherein the DRF is calculated by dividing the LD5O/3O of the peptide-treated animals by the LD50/30 of the vehicle-treated animals.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un programme de conception orienté objet qui est configuré pour exécuter instantanément le rendu dans une interface en trois dimensions des conceptions CAO d'utilisateur reçues en tant qu'éléments de conception basés sur la CAO (par exemple, des blocs ou des lignes CAO). Le programme orienté objet effectue le rendu des conceptions CAO d'utilisateur sans tenir compte du fait que les conceptions d'utilisateur sont pratiques ou bien qu'elles utilisent des finis ou des couleurs qui sont en stock pour les éléments de conception sélectionnés. De plus, le programme orienté objet peut également créer des objets logiciels intelligents pour les éléments basés sur la CAO à un moment ultérieur, à la demande de l'utilisateur. Les objets logiciels intelligents peuvent être configurés pour effectuer automatiquement leur propre résolution en prenant en considération une ou plusieurs limitations et règles du système dans des composants associés et pour recopier cette éventuelle résolution sur les blocs basés sur la CAO si cela est souhaité. Ainsi, un utilisateur peut profiter des avantages d'un rendu 3D instantané de dessins CAO avec ou sans la résolution automatique produite par les objets logiciels intelligents, en fonction de la situation.

Abstract: To quickly and optimally control the water condition and temperature of a fuel cell even when the fuel cell is at a low temperature and in a dry state. If it is determined that a fuel cell is in a dry state (YES in step S120) and is determined that the fuel cell is at a low temperature (YES in step S130), a control device performs low-efficiency power generation (step S140). Performing the low-efficiency power generation makes it possible to quickly warm up the fuel cell and bring the cathode water balance of a fuel cell 2 into a plus (wet) state, so that the water condition and temperature of the fuel cell can be quickly and optimally controlled.

X-ray image data associated with the product is received, the X-ray image data being derived by performing an X-ray scan of the product using an X-ray imaging apparatus and conveying attenuation information resulting from interaction of X--rays with the product. A response of a reference product to X-rays is then simulated to generate simulated X-ray image data. The simulated X-ray image data and the received X-ray image data are then processed to derive one or more characteristics of the product.  Information conveying the derived characteristic of the product is then released. In a specific implementation, the product is a liquid product comprised of a bottle at least partially filled with liquid and the derived characteristic of the liquid product is a threat status assessment associated with the liquid in the bottle. In another aspect, a simulation engine for simulating interactions between X-rays and objects is also provided.
