Title: Method for the preparation of reagents for amplification and/or detection of nucleic acids that exhibit no significant contamination by nucleic acids
Inventor: PICARD FRANCOIS J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: The present invention decribes reagents free of detectable contaminating nucleic acids for performing highly sensitive and specific nucleic acids amplification and/or detection. It relates to an improvement in the technology of nucleic acid inactivation prior to nucleic acid testing (NAT) in order to prevent false-positive results. Specifically, this invention describes optimized and standardized reagents and ultra-violet treatment to achieve an effective and highly reproducible nucleic acid inactivation prior to NAT  without substantially affecting the performance of the assay. More specifically, this nucleic acid inactivation process resulted in a reduction of up to four logs of the background signal associated with the PCR  (polymerase chain reaction) amplification of DNA contaminating PCR reagents.  This optimized and standardized method is also adaptable for use with NAT  technologies other than PCR.

Title: Electronic lock box with multiple modes and security states
Inventor: FISHER SCOTT R
IPC: H04Q1/00
Filed: 2005-03-08
Abstract: An electronic lock box contains a secure compartment for storing keys to a structure. A linear actuator moves in one direction opening the door to the secure compartment, and moves in the opposite direction releasing a shackle that holds the lock box to the structure. A lock box system uses an encryption algorithm to diversify user PIN data at a central computer, and stores that diversified information on a memory card for later use when the user attempts to access a lock box. The central computer and electronic lock box both keep track of system "epoch time," and the memory card must be presented to the electronic lock box within a correct epoch time window for the diversified PIN data to be successfully decrypted and compared to the user's PIN data that is entered on a keypad of the electronic lock box.

Title: A method of playing a blackjack style card game having an accumulated jackpot
Inventor: MCBRIDE SCOTT
IPC: A63F13/80
Filed: 2005-04-18
Abstract: A method of playing a wagering card game in which a dealer and a plurality of players participate in a Blackjack-type card game, wherein each player places an ante wager consistent with the table minimum to start the game. Each player then places a wager equal to the table minimum in a colored box unique to that player on the gaming tabletop. The dealer then deals the cards as in normal Blackjack, starting with the player who has the dealer button in front of him.  This button rotates after each hand. Players play their hands against the house's hand. In accordance with the method of playing the game, the house does not pay winning bets at a conclusion of each hand, but if a player's hand beats the house's hand, then that player's token is moved upwardly one space for each bet won, wherein the first person to reach, in a preferred embodiment, seven wins is the winner of an accumulated jackpot. If a player loses the hand to the house, then the dealer takes the player's wager and adds it to the pot, and also moves the player's token downward one space toward the start area. Each lost wager moves the player's token down one. If a player's hand pushes with the house's hand, the player's token does not move (neither up nor down). Players may double down at any time and may split cards of equal value, including aces, up to seven times.
Patent CA-2506896-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIU PING
IPC: G06F1/3203
Filed: 2002-11-22
Abstract: A mechanism for providing zero power control of a computer peripheral is disclosed. The mechanism comprises a switch electrically connected to a card detecting pin of the host device. The switch is operated by a retractable antenna of the card. In this respect, when the antenna is in a retracted position, the switch generates a "removed" signal to the card detecting pin. The "removed" signal simulates that the computer peripheral has been removed from the host device such that the operating software of the host device wil l not supply power to the card. On the other hand, when the switch detects the antenna in the extended state, the switch will generate an "inserted" signal to the card detecting pin. The "inserted" signal informs the host device operating system that a card has been inserted and that power should be applied to the card.
