Title: Multicell area paging for cellular telecommunications system
Inventor: LAGNEBORG JOHAN
IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 1999-04-29
Abstract: A radio access network portion of a telecommunications network (18) which serves a mobile station (MS) is connecting to a core network. The radio access network portion has plural base stations (BS) serving respective plural cells (C), as well as plural control nodes (RNCs). The control nodes include a first control node (RNC1) for controlling a first group of the plural base stations and a second control node (RNC2) for controlling a second group of the plural base stations. A multicell area (MCA) includes cells served by at least some of the first group of base stations and cells served by at least some of the second group of base stations. The radio access network portion of a telecommunications network further has a paging control node which stores information regarding the multicell area. To page the mobile station in the multicell area, the paging control node (1) sends paging messages to each of the base stations serving the multicell area controlled by the paging control node; and (2) sends a paging message to any other control nodes which control base stations serving cells in the multicell area. The paging control node determines to which base stations and other control node(s) it should send paging messages by consulting a paging table (100). Perferably the paging control node is one of the control nodes of radio access notwork. The paging control node is connected to the other control node(s) by an intercontrol node link (32) over which the paging message is sent.
Patent CA-2330878-A1 (CA)
Title: Pre-processing and post-processing for enhancing knowledge discovery using support vector machines
Inventor: BARNHILL STEPHEN D
IPC: G06N20/10
Filed: 1999-05-03
Abstract: A system and method for enhancing knowledge discovery from data using a learning machine in general and a support vector machine in particular. Training data for a learning machine is pre-processed in order to add meaning thereto. Pre-processing data may involve transforming the data points and/or expanding the data points. By adding meaning to the data, the learning machine is provided with a greater amount of information for processing. With regard to support vector machines in particular, the greater the amount of information that is processed, the better generalizations about the data that may be derived. The learning machine is therefore trained with the pre-processed training data and is tested with test data that is pre-processed in the same manner. The test output from the learning machine is post-processed in order to determine if the knowledge discovered from the test data is desirable. Post-processing involves interpreting the test output into a format that may be compared with the test data. Live data is pre-processed and input into the trained and tested learning machine. The live output from the learning machine may then be post-processed into a computationally derived alphanumerical classifier for interpretation by a human or computer automated process.

Title: Improved method for simultaneous identification of differentially expressed mrnas and measurement of relative concentrations
Inventor: SUTCLIFFE J GREGOR
IPC: C12Q1/6809
Filed: 1999-06-30
Abstract: An improved method for the simultaneous sequence-specific identification of mRNAs in a mRNA population allows the visualization of nearly every mRNA  expressed by a tissue as a distinct band on a gel whose intensity corresponds roughly to the concentration of the mRNA. In general, the method comprises the formation of cDNA using anchor primers to fix a 3-endpoint, producing cloned inserts from the cDNA in a vector containing a bacteriophage-specific promoter for subsequent RNA synthesis, generating linearized fragments of the cloned inserts, preparing cRNA, transcribing cDNA from the cRNA using a set of 5-RT  primers, and performing PCR using a 3-PCR primer whose sequence is derived from the vector and a set of 5-PCR primers that is derived from the 5-RT  primers used for transcription of cDNA from cRNA. The method can identify changes in expression of mRNA associated with the administration of drugs or with physiological or pathological conditions.
Patent CA-2335343-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JENSEN ALLAN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-07-16
Abstract: The invention provides for methods for identification of biologically active  biomolecules. In one aspect, a biologically active biomolecule such as RNA o r a peptide is identified by incorporating random nucleotide sequences in a scaffold constituted by an enzyme activity modulator, transforming substantially identical host cells with the construct obtained thereby and screening the transformed cells to identify those where a preselected phenotypic trait has been altered. The randomized DNA is subsequently isolat ed from the phenotypically altered cells and the peptide and/or RNA encoded by the random sequence is determined. In turn, interaction partners which are putative drug targets are identified and isolated by use of the peptide and/ or RNA as part of affinity reagents. A preferred scaffold is derived from the potato inhibitor I family of protease inhibitors and exemplified is the barl ey chymotrypsin inhibitor 2A (CI-2A). Another aspect relates to the identification of novel enzyme inhibitors by using substantially the same approach, but screening specifically for changes in target enzyme activity. Also disclosed are methods of producing the relevant transformation and expression vectors as well as methods for identifying lead compounds and dru g targets for use in drug development. Finally, the invention also includes within its scope a method for the preparation of a medicinal product.</SDOAB >

Patent CA-2350268-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAVIES MICHAEL
IPC: G02B6/12
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: A homogeneous semiconductor waveguide structure having an undoped core layer and doped cladding layers on both sides of the core layer is proposed wherein the waveguide core is substantially thick providing polarization independence.  Because of the cladding layers having low refractive index contrast with respect to the core and being on opposing sides resulting in a substantially symmetrical structure, the waveguide can be made single-mode with low polarization sensitivity, thus improving characteristics for conducting light therein. Furthermore, the enlarged mode size increases coupling efficiency. Also, since the waveguide is grown from a single semiconductor composition lattice matched to the substrate, wafer uniformity and reproducibility are enhanced. The three layer structure reduces birefringence sufficiently that a yield enhancing etch stop layer can be added to the structure without substantially adverse effects.
