Patent CA-2603356-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KLEIN MICHEL ROBERT
IPC: A61K39/04
Filed: 2006-03-31
Abstract: The invention identifies a narrow subset of Mycobacterium latency associated antigens and/or epitopes that are capable of eliciting an immune response in vivo and and in vitro in a mammal. The invention provides methods and compositions for detection and immunization against latent Mycobacterium infections. These compositions comprise those Mycobacterial latency antigens that are actually capable of eliciting an immune response in vivo, in mammals experiencing a latent Mycobacterium infection. More preferably the compositions comprise those antigens that are preferentially recognized by latently infected individuals and which antigens are not, or to a much lesser extent, recognized in individuals having an active Mycobacterium infection or in individuals having Mycobacterium induced symptoms or diseases, such as in patients infected with M. tuberculosis suffering from tuberculosis disease (TB).

Title: Apparatus and method for detecting transmitting rate of turbo decoder
Inventor: LEE YOUNG-HWAN
IPC: H03M13/00
Filed: 2001-10-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for detecting a data rate in a turbo decoder for a mobile communication system. When a rate selector selects one data rate among a plurality of data rates, a turbo decoder repeatedly decodes an input data frame within a predetermined repetition limit number using the selected data rate and outputs the decoded data. A CRC detector performs CRC check on the decoded data and outputs the CRC check result, and a decoding state measurer measures decoding quality depending on the decoded data and outputs decoding state information. A  controller then sets the repetition limit number to a predetermined minimum value, controls the repetition limit number according to the decoding state information, controls the rate ,elector and determines a data rate of the input data depending on the CRC  check result.

Title: Method for in vitro recombination
Inventor: SMITH HAMILTON O
IPC: C12N15/00
Filed: 2006-08-11
Abstract: The present invention relates, e.g., to an in vitro method, using isolated protein reagents, for joining two double-stranded (ds) DNA molecules of interest, wherein the distal region of the first DNA molecule and the proximal region of the second DNA molecule share a region of sequence identity, comprising (a) chewing back the DNA molecules with an enzyme having an exonuclease activity, to yield single-stranded overhanging portions of each DNA molecule which contain a sufficient length of the region of sequence identity to hybridize specifically to each other; (b) specifically annealing the single-stranded overhangs; and (c) repairing single-stranded gaps in the annealed DNA molecules and sealing the nicks thus formed (ligating the nicked DNA molecules). The region of sequence identity generally comprises at least 20 non-palindromic nucleotides (nt), e.g., at least about 40 non-palindromic nt. In some embodiments of the invention, about 5% PEG is present during all steps of the reaction, and/or the repair reaction is achieved with Taq DNA  polymerase and a compatible ligase, such as Taq DNA ligase. The method allows the joining of a number of DNA fragments, in a predetermined order and orientation, without the use of restriction enzymes. It can be used, e.g., to join synthetically produced sub-fragments of a gene or genome of interest.

Patent CA-2623390-A1 (CA)
Title: Multiple reactor chemical production system
Inventor: BANISTER JAMES ANDREW
IPC: C07C29/151
Filed: 2006-09-22
Abstract: The present invention is a multiple reaction set for the production of chemicals by equilibrium limited reactions utilizing plate-type or extended surface heat exchangers. The heat exchangers effectively cool the reaction products in order to condense the methanol contained within the reaction products for separation, and also to warm incoming feed reactants prior to entrance of the reactants into a reactor utilized for the production of methanol. The various reactors, heat exchangers, and separators can be formed as separated zones within the enclosed vessels, thereby eliminating the need for separately constructed reactors, heat exchangers, and separators. Multi-stream plate-type of extended surface heat exchangers can be utilized to allow efficient cooling and methanol separation. The multiple reaction set can also be used for the recovery of methanol from a waste or purge gas stream utilizing multiple reactors, multiple plate-type or extended surface heat exchangers and multiple separators as a substitute for or in conjunction with a conventional methanol synthesis loop.

Title: Conversion kit for bitted bridles to a bitless bridle for horses and like animals
Inventor: WICKENS BRIAN C
IPC: B68B1/04
Filed: 2008-05-25
Abstract: An addition to a, standard bridle that uses a bit for head control, to allow the removal of the bit and still give control of the head of the horse or like animal. The conversion uses a single piece of leather or like material looped at one end around the current crownpiece and held in place at the current brow band splitting and extending over each side of the animals nose in such a manner as to cross over the maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve and attach to a connecting point on each side. At this point a nosepiece connects the two sides on the upper portion of the nose and a chain on the under side of the  nose in such a manner to encircle the complete nose of the animal. The chain is fed through a large ring that has been attached to the cheek straps, at the point that the bit would normally be placed, crossed and attached to the reins.  Pulling on the right rein will cause pressure on the left side of the maxillary nerve and push the head to the right. Pulling both reins at the same time will apply pressure to the entire circumference of the nose via the nose band and chain configuration leaving the horse no choice but to stop to relieve the pressure. Once stopped pressure is released immediately due to the quick release factor of the chain. Constant pressure on both reins cause the animal to back up to get away from the pressure on the nose. When the animal has completed the task instant relieve is achieved by releasing the rein pressure.

Patent CA-2635169-A1 (CA)
Title: Fluid dispenser having infrared user sensor
Inventor: CURTIS CHIP W
IPC: G01S7/486
Filed: 2008-06-16
Abstract: A dispensing system is disclosed which utilizes a controller in conjunction with a photodetector in order to provide automatic dispensing to a user when an object enters a target area. A controller is programmed to pulse a light source that is mounted proximate the photodetector. The controller constantly monitors the voltage at the receiving signal of the photodetector, and evaluates the difference in voltage from the light pulsed on and off. The controller sums the differences, and constantly updates the differences over a designated period to create an average difference value.  The average difference value is summed with a target offset value and compared to a momentary voltage difference. When the momentary difference exceeds the sum of the target offset value and average difference, the controller sends a signal to a dispense mechanism which dispenses a fluid or other product on the object.
