Title: Display case security apparatus
Inventor: STANFORD LARRY G
IPC: A47F3/00
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: A display case security apparatus comprises a housing, a plurality of platform guide tracks, a platfom, an elevating mechanism, and a closure. The housing includes a lower storage section and an upper display section disposed above the storage section. The storage section has an opaque exterior wall and the display section has an exterior wall which is at least partially transparent. The platform guide tracks are disposed on the interior of the housing. The platform is disposed within the housing and includes a generally horizontal portion for supporting articles to be displayed. The platform is selectively movable between a first position, wherein any articles supported on the platform are displayed in the display section of the housing, and a second position, wherein any articles supported on the platform are stored in the storage section of the housing. The platform interfits with the platform wide tracks so as to constrain the movement of the platform to vertical translation only. The elevating mechanism is mounted within the storage section and connected to the platform.  The elevating mechanism includes a rotatable crankshaft and at least one pair of links. The first link of each pair of links has a first end which engages the crankshaft so as to rotate with crankshaft and a second end which is pivotally connected to a first end of the second link of each pair of links. Each of the second links has a second end which is pivotally connected to the platform, whereby the platform moves between the first position and the second position when the crankshaft rotates. The closure is selectively interposed between the display section and the storage section when the platform is in the second position, whereby the platform and any articles supported thereon are enclosed within the storage section of the housing.

Patent CA-2374038-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAN ACKER KOENRAAD LODEWIJK AU
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: The invention relates to reporter molecules comprising at least one detection domain capable of emitting a signal and at least one membrane anchoring domain, which promotes the association of the reporter molecule with a membrane. The degree and rate of membrane association of the reporter molecule is approximated by the signal emitted by the detection domain. This signal provides a marker for the membrane association status of the membrane anchoring portion, or of the reporter molecule as a whole. Treatments or agents may be tested for their ability to alter membrane association or localization by observing or measuring the signal emitted by the detection domain. Thus, the invention provides means and methods for determiming the capability of an agent to interfere at least in part with the distribution of a reporter molecule in a cell. These methods are useful for drug discovery;  the phenotypic evaluation of cells, preferably patient cells; and for tailoring a therapeutic program for treating a patient.
Patent CA-2375402-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARNARD ETIENNE
IPC: G10L15/06
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: An approach for automatically determining the accuracy of a pronunciation dictionary in a speech recognition system involves comparing an expected pronunciation representation for a particular word from a pronunciation dictionary to one or more actual pronunciations of the particular word. An accuracy score for each of the phonemes that constitute the pronunciation of the particular word is determined from the comparison of the expected and actual pronunciations for the particular word. The accuracy score is evaluated against specified accuracy criteria to determine whether the expected pronunciation for the particular word satisfies the specified accuracy criteria. If the expected pronunciation does not satisfy the specified accuracy criteria for the particular word, then the expected pronunciation for the particular word in the pronunciation dictionary is identified as requiring updating. Manual or automated update mechanisms may then be employed to update the identified expected pronunciation representations to reflect the actual pronunciations.
