Patent CA-2558294-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PINKS JOHN R
IPC: H01Q11/12
Filed: 2005-02-14
Abstract: An automatic matching and tuning unit (AMTU), which connects the output from a low or medium frequency, high power radio transmitter, to an antenna with a complex input impedance. The transmitter requires a resistive 50-ohm terminating impedance whereas the input impedance to the antenna comprises a low resistance value in series with a high capacitive reactance. The AMTU  resonates the antenna's reactance with a series connected adjustable loading coil. Sensors measure the phase angle between the input current and voltage and maintain a continuous tuned condition using a microprocessor controlled tuning motor. The resulting input resistance is transformed to 50 ohms using a tapped matching transformer in conjunction with pair of resonant, mutually coupled coils with an adjustable mutual coupling coefficient. Sensors measure the input resistance and adjust the mutual coupling coefficient using a microprocessor-controlled motor to maintain the required 50-ohm input impedance.

Title: System and method for secure verification of electronic transactions
Inventor: NACHTIGALL ERNEST H
IPC: G06Q20/12
Filed: 2006-09-26
Abstract: There is provided a system and method for secure verification of electronic transactions, and in particular secure processing of personal identification numbers when third party processors are involved. In an embodiment, a variable length PIN  associated with a credit card or debit card is encrypted, then hashed using a one-way hash algorithm before it is passed along to and stored by a third party processor. The encrypted-hashed PIN always remains in an encrypted form while in the hands of the third party processor.  At the third party processor, secure cryptographic hardware is used to store the one-way hash algorithm.  Encrypted PIN values received for verification (e.g. from a retail point-of-sale terminal) are converted and hashed using the one-way hash algorithm, and the resulting hashed-encrypted value is compared against the hashed-encrypted PIN values previously stored at the third party processor. As the PIN has a variable length, and the third party processor has no access to the hash algorithm, the encrypted PIN values are highly resistant to reverse engineering or decryption.

Title: Quantification of microsphere suspension hybridization and uses thereof
Inventor: NEWKIRK HEATHER
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: A novel suspension hybridization assay was used to determine nucleic acid copy number by flow cytometry. The assay was validated with low copy (1c) products ranging in length from 100 to 2304 bp conjugated to spectrally-distinct polystyrene microspheres. In the example provided herein, these conjugated microspheres were used as multiplex hybridization probes to detect homologous sequences in genomic DNA extracted from cytogenetic cell pellets and labeled with biotin-dUTP. Hybridization was detected with phycoerythrin-labeled streptavidin and analyzed by flow cytometry. Copy number differences were distinguishable by comparing the mean fluorescence intensities of test probes with a diploid reference probe in genomic DNA of patient samples and abnormal cell lines. The assay is capable of distinguishing a single allele and three alleles at a test locus from a biallelic reference sequence, regardless of chromosomal context. The assay is an improvement on previous methods which require prior amplification of locus-specific target DNA because, 1c probes provide adequate specificity and sensitivity for accurate copy number determination of homologous targets. Because of its high sensitivity and accuracy, the assay is useful for determination of nucleic acid copy number for a variety of applications, including determination of genomic copy number in humans, animal models of disease and in solution, measurement of transcript levels, forensic DNA  analysis, and quality control analysis in agriculture.
