Patent CA-2576932-A1 (CA)
Title: Organogenesis from dissociated cells
Inventor: WANG WEI
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2005-08-15
Abstract: A method assay for rapidly and reproducibly generating hair follicles from dissociated epithelial and mesenchymal cells is disclosed. The method serves both as a tool for measuring the trichogenic (i.e., hair growth-inducing) property of cells and for studying the mechanisms dissociated cells employ to assemble an organ. In a method of this application dissociated cells, isolated from newborn mouse skin, are injected into adult mouse truncal skin, hair follicles develop. This process involves the aggregation of epithelial cells to form clusters which are sculpted by apoptosis to generate "infundibular cysts". From the "infundibular cysts" hair germs form followed by follicular buds and then pegs which grow asymmetrically to differentiate into cycling mature pilosebaceous structures. Using various techniques, exposure of the "infundibular cysts" by puncturing, piercing, or scratching the skin and, in an approach, covering the exposed cysts with a wound dressing material produced egressing hair follicles.

Patent CA-2583161-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MACKELVIE WINSTON
IPC: E03C1/12
Filed: 2007-03-13
Abstract: The present invention is a jacket-type heat exchanger which may, for example, be used to replace or fit over a section of drainpipe to heat fresh cold water using the waste heat in the drainwater. Two piece construction allows normal cold water pressure to create an internal--expanding force on the inner thermal contact wall of the jacket, which, in turn, creates an enormous heat-transfer clamping force on the drainpipe for fast heat transfer.  A longitudinal gap in the jacket enables clamping movement. An external sleeve resists bulging of the outer jacket wall. The heated cold water is plumbed to a faucet or water heater so as to reduce hot water use, which, in turn, reduces energy use and related environmental damage. Double-wall construction and venting for visible leak detection satisfies plumbing code requirements. Use on vehicular exhaust pipes is also contemplated.
Patent CA-2583235-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for sealing a vascular puncture
Inventor: KHOSRAVI FARHAD
IPC: A61L27/52
Filed: 2005-11-01
Abstract: Apparatus for sealing a puncture communicating with a blood vessel includes a porous carrier formed from lyophilized hydrogel or other material. The plug may include at least first and second hydrogel precursors and a pH adjusting agent carried by the porous carrier in an unreactive state prior to exposure to an aqueous physiological environment. Once exposed to bodily fluids, the carrier expands as the lyophilized material hydrates to enhance and facilitate rapid hemostasis of the puncture. When the plug is placed into the puncture, the natural wetting of the plug by bodily fluids (e.g., blood) causes the first and second precursors to react and cross-link into an adhesive or "sticky" hydrogel that aids in retaining the plug in place within the puncture.

Patent CA-2596092-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KETCHUM JOHN W
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2006-01-27
Abstract: Techniques are described to calibrate the downlink and uplink channels to account for differences in the frequency responses of the transmit and receive chains at an access point and a user terminal. In one method, pilots are transmitted on the downlink and uplink channels and used to derive estimates of the downlink and uplink channel responses, respectively. Correction factors for the access point and correction factors for the user terminal are determined based on (e.g., by performing matrix-ratio computation or minimum mean square error (MMSE) computation on) the downlink and uplink channel response estimates. The correction factors for the access point and the correction factors for the user terminal are used to obtain a calibrated downlink channel and a calibrated uplink channel, which are transpose of one another. The calibration may be performed in real time based on over-the-air transmission.
