Patent CA-2473091-A1 (CA)
Title: Network maintenance
Inventor: RICE DOUGLAS HENRY
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2003-02-20
Abstract: A method of signalling in an AIN, in which in an SSP, the initial message of a new transaction is addressed to a Service Global Title (SGT). The SSP translates that SGT to a first address of the first choice SCP. The SCP responds with an acknowledgement message which has a second address of the SCP as its source address, and includes the Nodal Global Title (NGT) of that SCP. The SSP sends subsequent messages for that transaction addressed to that NGT, and the SSP translates that NGT to the second address of the SCP. When the SCP is taken out of service, the first address is made unavailable, so the SSP sends new initial messages to the second choice SCP, but subsequent messages for existing transactions may still be sent to the second address of the first choice SCP. When all existing transactions have ceased, the SCP is taken out of service.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouvel ADN de protéine associée au tocophérol (TAP-38)/protéine associée au tocophérol (TAP-38) avec une délétion de 76 bases nucléotidiques ayant pour résultat une délétion de 25 acides aminés, suivie de 90 nouveaux nucléotides qui codent pour 30 nouveaux acides aminés non exprimés par TAP-46. L'invention fournit des données montrant que TAP-38 renforce les propriétés d'induction apoptotiques de composés à base de tocophérol, et que le blocage de TAP diminue l'efficacité de composés à base de tocophérol. Par conséquent, cette invention affirme que l'expression de TAP-38 par des cellules tumorales renforce les propriétés d'induction apoptotiques de composés à base de tocophérol. Cette invention concerne également des méthodes de transfection/infection par aérosol de liposome pour l'administration de plasmides d'ADNc de TAP-46 et de TAP-38 séparément et combinés à des agents d'induction apoptotiques ainsi qu'à d'autres agents chimiothérapeutiques en tant que méthode de traitement et de prévention de maladies et troubles prolifératifs cellulaires.

Title: Compositions and methods for treating a subterranean formation
Inventor: FU DIANKUI
IPC: C09K8/74
Filed: 2003-07-07
Abstract: A method is provided for diverting the majority of the fluid injected into a stratified subterranean formation, that has at least one problematic zone and at least one hydrocarbon zone, into the hydrocarbon zone. In the method, a viscous diverting fluid made with a gelling amount of a surfactant and an acid is injected before the main treatment; after the treatment the acid decomposes the surfactant. The main treatment may be hydraulic fracturing, acid fracturing and matrix acidizing. The fluid used as the diverting fluid may also be used as the carrier fluid in hydraulic fracturing or gravel packing. Destruction of the surfactant alleviates the potential of diverters or carrier fluids to damage formations.

Title: Method and device for the production of purified steam
Inventor: SALMISUO MAURI
IPC: B01D45/12
Filed: 2003-08-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the production of pure steam. A falling-film evaporator is used. Of the water-steam mixture leaving the evaporator unit, part of the water is collected at the bottom of the device, and a fraction mainly consisting of steam enters a rising spiral channel for the separation of impurities. In the periphery of the spiral channel apertures are provided for separating impurity-containing droplets, which condense on a surface outside the apertures. The liquid formed is removed from the device. The water phase collected at the bottom enters a recycle line connected to the feed end of the evaporator unit. Feed water is supplied to the recycle line to compensate for pure steam consumption.

Title: Method and apparatus for antenna steering for wlan
Inventor: HOFFMANN JOHN E
IPC: H04B7/04
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: A Station Management Entity (SME) steers a directional antenna for a station to communicate with an Access Point (AP) in an 802.11 protocol system (411).  The SME can steer the antenna before or after an 802.11 station has authenticated and associated with the Access Point (417). During a passive scan (425), the steering process cycles through the available antenna positions and monitors an AP beacon signal to determine a best position based on, for example, a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). During an active scan (430) where access probing is used, the steering process cycles through the antenna positions and monitors a probe response to determine the best antenna position. Additional scans may be performed based on a decision that the received signal level of the currently selected antenna position has dropped below a predetermined threshold.

Title: Device for permitting re-entry of circular saw blade during reciprocating stroke movements
Inventor: EDWARDS RICHARD L
IPC: B23D51/02
Filed: 2005-07-06
Abstract: A tool system comprises a circular saw blade which is adapted to be moved in a reciprocating manner between an elevated, RETRACTED, INOPERATIVE position and a lowered, EXTENDED, OPERATIVE position so as to repeatedly form slits within a packaging structure at a plurality of positions which are defined at predeterminedly spaced locations along the longitudinal extent of the packaging structure. A circular saw blade guide member is disposed adjacent to the outer periphery of the circular saw blade and is movable along with the circular saw blade between its elevated, RETRACTED, INOPERATIVE position and its lowered, EXTENDED, OPERATIVE position. Accordingly, as the circular saw blade is moved from its lowered, EXTENDED, OPERATIVE position back to its elevated, RETRACTED, INOPERATIVE position, the guide member will in effect guide the circular saw blade back through the slit formed within the packaging structure so as to facilitate the retractive movement of the circular saw blade, back through the slit formed within the packaging structure, thereby effectively eliminating the tendency of the circular saw blade to otherwise encounter the edge or wall portions of the packaging structure, which define the slit, in an obstructive manner as the circular saw blade is moved from its lowered EXTENDED, OPERATIVE position to its elevated RETRACTED, INOPERATIVE position in preparation for the performance of a subsequent cutting operation.
