Patent CA-2395053-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FARIS MARY
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une nouvelle famille d'antigènes transmembranaires du type serpentin de surface cellulaire. Deux des protéines de cette famille sont  exclusivement ou essentiellement exprimées dans la prostate, notamment dans la prostate cancéreuse; c'est pourquoi des membres de cette famille ont été nommés "STEAP" (Six Transmembrane Epithelial Antigen of the Prostate   six antigènes transmembranaires épithéliaux de la prostate). Quatre protéines STEAP humaines particulières sont décrites et caractérisées dans cette invention. Ces protéines STEAP humaines font montre d'un degré élevé de conservation structurale entre elles mais ne témoignent pas d'une homologie structurale significative avec une quelconque protéine humaine connue. Le prototype de la famille des STEAP, la protéine STEAP-1 se présente comme étant une protéine membranaire du type IIIa, essentiellement exprimée dans des cellules prostatiques, dans des tissus humains normaux. Du point de vue structural, STEAP-1 est une protéine renfermant 339 acides aminés et caractérisée par une topologie moléculaire de six domaines transmembranaires et par la présence de N-terminus et de C-terminus intracellulaires, laissant entendre qu'elle se plie en "serpentin" en trois boucles extracellulaires et deux boucles intracellulaires. L'expression de la protéine STEAP-1 se maintient à des niveaux élevés pendant les différents stades du cancer de la prostate. La protéine STEAP-1 est, par surcroît, largement sur-exprimée dans certains autres cancers humains.
Patent CA-2397275-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FARLEY NICOLAS
IPC: D06F53/00
Filed: 2002-08-09
Abstract: A clothesline comprises first and second spaced-apart end pulleys mounted to respective brackets for rotation about a substantially vertical axis. An endless cord stretched out and trained on the first and second pulleys forms side by side first and second runs. The brackets provide enough clearance about the pulleys for allowing clothes hanging from the endless cord to pass from one side of the pulleys to the other side thereof, thereby allowing to use the first and second runs for hanging some pieces of garment and, thus, double the overall hanging capacity of the clothesline.

Title: Use of hydrophilic (co)polymers in crosslinkable aqueous silicone emulsions
Inventor: BENAYOUN JEAN-PAUL
IPC: C08J7/056
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: An aqueous crosslinkable silicone emulsion suitable for preparing a release coating on fibrous supports. The emulsion contains a polyorganosiloxane having Si-vinyl units and a polysiloxane having SiH units, crosslinkable by polyaddition in the presence of a platinum catalyst, together with at least one hydrophilic stabilizing (co)polymer having a molar mass greater or equal to 10,000 g/mol.

Patent CA-2403890-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHARAF MUHAMMAD A
IPC: C12Q1/6823
Filed: 2001-03-26
Abstract: The invention relates to improved methods of detecting and characterizing polynucleotide sequences and variations in polynucleotide sequences. The invention further relates to a device that can be used to detect and characterize polynucleotide sequences and variations in polynucleotide sequences. The invention is directed to an improved invasion assay to methods of analyzing invasion assay data. The invention is based, in part, on a discovery that signals due to the cleavage of a probe annealed to a template polynucleotide (e.g. DNA or RNA) can exhibit behavior over time that is different from the behavior over time of signals produced by background reactions (e.g. reactions that are not dependent on the presence of target polynuclotide). For example, the positive signal produced by many invasion assays (i.e., the signal that indicates an cleavage of a probe oligonucleotide annealed to a target polynucleotide) can be fit to a polynomial that is higher in order than the polynimial required to characterize the background signal.  It is thus possible to determine the results of an invasion assay in real time or at the conclusion of the assay by determining whether the behavior of the signal it produced over time is different from that a typical, estimated theoretical or actually measured background signal.

Title: Process and device for assembly of landing gear on an aircraft structure and aircraft comprising such landing gear
Inventor: RENIAU GREGORY
IPC: B64F5/00
Filed: 2002-12-05
Abstract: A landing gear hinge shaft is installed on an aircraft structure using at least two ball joints (22), at least, one of which is adjustable. The differences between the theoretical and real positions of the centers of the balls are measured, and the adjustments that have to be made to bring the centers of the balls back to their theoretical positions is deduced. This is done by making a first adjustment in the axial direction using a shim (30) and a second adjustment in the radial direction by adjusting the rotation of an inner cage (34) and an outer cage (36) of the ball joint. The inner and outer cages have eccentric axes that facilitate the adjustment.

The release mechanism has a reciprocating member that operates the latch mechanism. A push bar moves from an extended position through a intermediate position to depressed position.      A link member interconnects the push bar and the reciprocating member.      When the push bar moves ho the intermediate to the depressed position, it operates the reciprocating member to trigger the latch mechanism. A catch member operates to limit movement of the push bar between the intermediate and depressed positions but can be released to allow the push bar to move to the extended position. When the push bar is in the intermediate position, it is flush with the door muntin.
