Title: Automatic application hand brake winding mechanism
Inventor: NATSCHKE SCOTT
IPC: B60T13/66
Filed: 2002-08-16
Abstract: An automatic application hand brake mechanism is provided for automatically applying at least one brake member secured to a railway vehicle with the hand brake assembly. The mechanism comprises an operating member having at least one ratchet. The at least one ratchet is engageable with at least one gear of a gear assembly disposed in a housing member of the hand brake assembly for operating the gear assembly in a direction which will cause an application of the at least one brake member. The apparatus also includes an application cylinder mounted on the railway vehicle and a drive arm extending from an end of the application cylinder. The drive arm has a first portion which is connected to the operating member. The drive arm is capable of reciprocating with respect to the application cylinder upon the application of a force thereto to supply a predetermined pressure to the operating member at least a sufficient amount so as to cause an application of the at least one brake member. A pressure supply source is connected to the application cylinder for supplying a force to the drive arm thereby causing an automatic application of the at least one brake member by the hand brake assembly.

Title: Ligase/polymerase method for detecting cytosine methylation in dna samples
Inventor: OLEK ALEXANDER
IPC: C12Q1/6834
Filed: 2001-02-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting 5-methylcytosine in genomic DNA samples. Firstly, a genomic DNA from a DNA sample is chemically reacted with a reagent, whereby 5-methylcytosine and cytosine react differently. Afterwards, the pretreated DNA is amplified while using a polymerase and at least one primer. In the next step, the amplified genomic DNA is hybridized to at least two oligonucleotides, whereby the latter are assembled by inserting  at least one oligonucleotide. In the case of the ligation product, a nucleotide carries a detectable tagging, and the lengthening is subject to t he methylation status of the respective cytosine in the genomic DNA sample. In the following step, the lengthened oligonucleotides are examined for the presence of the tagging.

Patent CA-2422225-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAPOINTE MICHEL
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for providing real-time tariff and import data over a computer network, including, preferably, the calculation of total landed cost. The total landed cost is calculated as a function of input transaction information, such as transaction value, freight and insurance costs, type ofgood(s), import, shipment, and export countries. A  duty calculation engine accesses relevant tariff rates and applies the lowest of such rates to arrive at a duty calculation. An import tax calculation engine accesses relevant databases of country specific import tax rates, charges and fees and applies them to arrive at import tax costs. A total landed cost calculation engine determines the total landed cost from the duty calculation and the import tax calculation.

Inventor: KANG SEWON
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 2002-02-27
Abstract: Many human conditions, often skin conditions, are treated topically or orall y with a retinoid such as retinoic acid or acetretin, which treatment often ha s the side effect of dry, irritated, and/or peeling skin. The use of soaps, detergents, chemical irritants, and such can also cause these same side effects. These side effects can be reduced or eliminated by the topical administration of an inhibitor, especially a natural inhibitor, of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), administered concomitantly with the retinoid, separately from the retinoid (such as on an as-needed basis), or both. Administration of the two together is facilitated by a composition suitable for topical application and comprising both retinoid and a natural EGFR inhibitor. Preferred natural inhibitors are genistein and other isoflavones extracted from natural occurring substances, or simple derivativ es of such substances.
