IPC: C12Q1/6869
Filed: 1994-10-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de séquençage multiplex automatisé de l'ADN au moyen d'un système intégré. Ce système comporte une chambre d'hybridation conçue pour une membrane contenant des produits de réaction de séquençage multiplex fractionnés, un appareil d'alimentation en fluide de ladite chambre, un appareil d'imagerie conçu pour enregistrer en image la fluorescence émanant de la membrane, ainsi qu'un organe de commande programmable permettant de gérer le fonctionnement du système. Les produits de réaction multiplex sont hybridés avec une sonde, après quoi une enzyme est fixée sur cette dernière, et un substrat fluorogène est introduit dans la chambre par l'appareil d'alimentation en fluide. L'enzyme convertit le substrat fluorogène en un produit fluorescent qui, lorsqu'il est illuminé dans la chambre, produit un motif de fluorescence d'hybridation. Ce motif d'hybridation est mis en images par une caméra à CCD, ce qui permet d'obtenir une série de signaux numériques qui sont convertis par l'organe de commande en une séquence nucléotidique. Ledit appareil peut également être utilisé pour l'hydridation sur colonie et sur plaque, ainsi que pour les analyses Southern blot, Northern blot et Western blot.

Title: Eye movement sensing method and system
Inventor: ZEPKIN NEIL
IPC: A61B3/113
Filed: 1995-04-18
Abstract: A method and system are provided for sensing eye motion, such as saccadic eye motion, in a non-intrusive fashion. An optical delivery arrangement (105) converts a laser beam pulse (104) into a plurality of light spots (21-24). The light spots are focused such that they are incident on a corresponding plurality of positions located on a boundary (12) whose motion is coincident with that of eye movement. The boundary can be defined by two visually adjoining surfaces having different coefficients of reflection. Energy is reflected from each of the positions located on the boundary receiving the light spots. An optical receiving arrangement (156) detects the reflected energy from each of the positions. Changes in reflected energy at one or more of the positions is indicative of eye motion.

IPC: G06F16/31
Filed: 1996-04-10
Abstract: A system and method provides for indexing and retrieval of stored documents using a decomposition of words in the documents in n-grams, or linear word subunits. The documents are indexed as pages in a number of banks. For each bank there is a bank index. The individual n-greens are identified for each page and are stored is the bank index. Each bank index further contains an entry map that indicates whether a given n-gram is present in any of the pages of the bank, and then provides an index to a page map that further indicates which page in the bank contains the n-gram. When a search query is input, the query words are decomposed into their n-grams. The query word n-grams are compared first with entry maps to determine if the query word n-grams appear on any page in the bank. If so, the associated page map is traversed to determine which page in the bank contains the query word n-grams.    The n-grams on the page are compared with the query word n-grams to determine the presence of a match therebetween. Matching pages are flagged. When all pages in all blanks have been processed, the pages are consolidated with respect to the documents to which they belong, resulting in a list of documents that match the search query. The results are displayed to a user.
Patent CA-2195008-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALTERS JAMES C
IPC: B60P3/06
Filed: 1997-01-13
Abstract: A trailer, for a header-equipped implement, has a T-shaped main frame, with the head of the T being defined by a beam extending in the direction of travel and with the stem of the T centered between a pair of loading ramps having first end portions coupled to the beam for pivoting about a fulcrum such that the ramps are moved from a loading to a transport position by the weight of the implement when the implement is backed up the ramps to a loaded position resting on the beam and in engagement with respective bumper/latch bars fixed to the beam. Stability of the trailer is maintained during loading of the implement by parking stands, at opposite ends of the beam, which are either manually or automatically moved between support and stored positions. The wheels are each mounted to an arm having a latch hook secured thereto and which moves into latched engagement with a respective one of the bumper latch/bars to secure the implement to the trailer when the arms are raised by the implement lift cylinders to lower the header onto the frame stem. The implement has a swing tongue used to tow the trailer/implement combination endwise relative to the header. Mounted to one of the ramps is a storable trailer tongue which may be used to tow the trailer when it is empty.
