Patent CA-2395842-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAVYDUKE ROLAND
IPC: B27B25/00
Filed: 1997-03-21
Abstract: A curve sawing device includes a base; an articulated gangsaw carriage mounted to the base; a chipping head mounted to the gangsaw carriage. An active gangsaw downstream of and cooperating with the chipping head is mounted to the gangsaw carriage. The chipping head is translatable in a first direction which crosses a linear workpiece feed path wherealong the workpiece is linearly fed so as to first pass the chipping head and subsequently pass through the gangsaw. The chipping head is positioned linearly in the first direction to thereby translate the chipping head relative to the workpiece feed path. The gangsaw carriage is positioned linearly in the first direction and simultaneously rotatably about an axis orthogonal to the feed path to thereby translate and skew the gangsaw carriage relative to the workpiece feed path.

Inventor: LACEY DAVID LEE
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 2001-04-27
Abstract: The present invention concerns therapeutic agents that modulate the activity of PTH and PTHrP. In accordance with the present invention, modulators of PTH  and PTHrP comprise: (a) a PTH/PTHrP modulating domain; and (b) a vehicle, such as a polymer (e.g. PEG or dextran) or an Fc domain, which is preferred;  wherein the vehicle is covalently attached to the C-terminus of the PTH/PTHrP  modulating domain. The vehicle and the PTH/PTHrP modulating domain may be linked through the N- or C-terminus of the PTH/PTHrP modulating domain, as described further below. The preferred vehicle is an Fc domain, and the preferred Fc domain is an IgG Fc domain. Preferred PTH/PTHrP modulating domains comprise the PTH and PTHrP-derived amino acid sequences described hereinafter. Other PTH/PTHrP modulating domains can be generated by phage display, RNA-peptide screening and the other techniques mentioned herein. Such peptides typically will be modulators of both PTH activity and PTHrP activity, although such techniques can be used to generate peptide sequences that serve as selective modulators (e.g., agonists of PTH activity but not PTHrP  activity).

Title: Provisioning of cable modems with transmission frequency information
Inventor: BIRNBAUM JACK M
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2001-09-04
Abstract: A system for provisioning cable modems (205) with frequency information for communication with a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) (120) in a cable television plant. In a first embodiment, a virtual channel map of programming services (e.g., television program) is examined (150, 160) to determine which carrier frequencies are unused. These unused frequencies are used to form a table of available CMTS frequencies that is transmitted to the cable modems (205). The modems then have to only search a subset of all frequencies to locate one having a CMTS identifying signal. Alternatively, the modem (205) can be directly informed of the CMTS frequency, so no searching is required.  In a further embodiment, multiple CMTSs are used at the headend (300), and a traffic monitoring function (310) dynamically adjusts the frequency used by the modems for upstream transmissions to balance the load on the CMTSs.
