Patent CA-2392514-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OKAMOTO HIROSHI
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: A protein binding to Reg protein is successfully cloned from cDNA originating in rat Langerhans islet. When expressed on the COS cell surface, this protein specifically binds to Reg protein. When the Reg-binding protein is expressed in RINm5F .beta. cells, DNA synthesis and cell proliferation are stimulated depending on the dose of the Reg protein added to the medium. At a higher concentration, apoptosis is induced. It is considered that the above protein functions as a Reg receptor expressed on the surface of cells such as .beta.  cells and regulates the proliferation of these cells. This protein and its gene are useful in developing novel remedies for diabetes.

Abstract: A system and method for binary classification of text units such as sentences, paragraphs and documents as either a rule of law (ROL) or not a rule of law (~ROL) (206). During a training phase (202) of the system and method of the present invention, an initialized knowledge base and labeled or pre-classified sentences are used to build a trained knowledge base. The trained knowledge base contains an equation (404), a threshold (405), and a plurality of statistical values called Z values (502). When inputting text documents for classification, a Z value is generated for each term or token in the input text. The Z values are input to the equation which calculates a score for each sentence.

Abstract: This invention, Environmentally Friendly Ice Remover (EFIR), is a fast dissolver of snow and ice. It belongs to the realm of synthetic inorganic techniques and solves some problems that are characteristic of snow dissolvers currently being used on the roads today.  Current snow dissolvers tend to be inefficient, cause damage to the road, have high costs, have high freezing points, are corrosive to metals, and are not environmentally friendly. This application gives the ingredients and quantity ratio contained in this rapid snow and ice dissolver. The main ingredient in EFIR is MgCl2, which is extracted from natural seawater. Two preservatives and some fragrance are then added. The product therefore has a fragrant odour and is convenient to use. It is also highly efficient for dissolving snow and ice, has a low cost of production, causes no environmental pollution, is less corrosive to metals, and causes no damage to roads.
