Title: Electronic pest monitoring system and method
Inventor: FARRELL MELANIE
IPC: A01M31/00
Filed: 2001-09-11
Abstract: An electronic pest monitoring system includes an electronic pest monitoring device which may be used in combination with or separate from a bait box. The electronic pest monitoring device is adapted to be removably attached to a bait box. The electronic pest monitoring device includes a pest detector, such as a passive IR detector, which provides a pest detection signal in response to the presence of a pest. A processor coupled to the pest detector includes a real-time clock, and stores in memory a time and date of occurrence of the pest detection signal and a duration of the presence of the pest. Such pest detection event information may be transmitted from the electronic pest monitoring device over a wireless communications channel, such as an IR  communications channel, to a hand-held computer unit for display and analysis.

Abstract: Dominant negative alleles of human mismatch repair genes can be used to generate hypermutable cells and organisms. By introducing these genes into cells and transgenic animals, new cell lines and animal varieties with novel and useful properties can be prepared more efficiently than by relying on the natural rate of mutation. These methods are useful for generating genetic diversity within immunoglobulin genes directed against an antigen of interest to produce altered antibodies with enhanced biochemical activity. Moreover, these methods are useful for generating antibody-producing cells with increased level of antibody production.

Title: Door station apparatus with electric lock
Inventor: ABE TOMOHITO
IPC: E05B49/00
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: The respective sections between a power source unit 4 and a room master station 1, between the room master station 1 and an entrance door station 2, and between the entrance door station 2 and an electric lock 3 are connected by transmission lines of two-wire system 6 for transmitting signals and electric power. When called by the entrance door station 2, the room master station 1 changes a DC voltage which is applied to the entrance door station 2 through the transmission line 6b. In accordance with the voltage change, the entrance door station 2 drives the entrance door station side transmitter circuit 33, thereby to permit the talk between the entrance door station 2 and the room master station 1. Besides, when an AC voltage for the release operation of the electric lock 3 is outputted from the room master station 1 to the transmission line 6b, a talk/electric lock changeover circuit 35 provided in the entrance door station 2 detects the AC voltage to separate the entrance door station side transmitter circuit 33 usually connected with the room master station 1 for the purpose of the talk and to connect the electric lock 3 to the room master station 1, whereby the electric lock 3 connected to the entrance door station 2 is permitted to be manipulated from the room master station 1 through the transmission line 6b.

Patent CA-2438163-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TORMASCHY KELLY
IPC: C08L23/12
Filed: 2002-01-28
Abstract: This invention relates generally to crystalline propylene polymers, to methods for their production and to methods for their use in film applications. Specifically, this invention relates to crystalline propylene polymers comprising both propylene homopolymer and propylene copolymer. The compositions are prepared using metallocene catalyst systems comprising at least two metallocenes in a polymerization process that involves the sequential or paralled polymerization of propylene homopolymer and copolymer using propylene with a small amount of comonomer, preferably ethylene. The polymerization is catalyzed by a dual metallocene catalyst system. The resulting polymers have a broad, bimodal molecular weight distribution. The resulting polymers are excellent for use in the production of biaxially oriented films or non-oriented films. Films prepared with these propylene polymers have a significantly broader processability range and can be evenly stretched at lower temperature compared to films prepared from traditional propylene polymer.

Title: Logical routing system
Inventor: KNIGHT HOLLY
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2002-02-12
Abstract: A method and system for mapping logical identifiers to physical identifiers is provided. In one embodiment, a logical routing system allows each application, or more generally entity (e.g., user of an application), to register its logical identifier to physical identifier mapping when the application starts executing on a computer. To send a message to an application identified by a logical identifier, a client program uses the registered mapping to identify the physical identifier of the computer. If an application later starts executing on a different computer, then the application can register a different mapping.

Title: Metal-containing web processed with a continuous etch process
Inventor: LAI LAURENCE M C
IPC: H05K3/06
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: Corruption of features formed by etching a metal-containing web in a continuous etch process is reduced by distorting the original design or designs of the features to compensate for localized areas subject to excessive etching during the continuous etch process. In the case of a planar speaker diaphragm, for example, the width of the portions of the trace that are in a cross-machine direction is increased to compensate for the higher etching rate caused by the motion through the etch bath. While this causes the modified trace design to appear to be distorted relative to the original trace design, the etched trace resulting from the modified trace design has improved uniformity and greater fidelity to the original trace design than if the original trace design had been used in the continuous etch process.

Title: Extensible computer file format
Inventor: ROSS BENJAMEN ERIC
IPC: G06K1/00
Filed: 2002-10-17
Abstract: The present invention can provide an extensible file format compatible with previous, current, and future versions of an application program (37A). The present invention can comprise including file version watermarks in an original data file (550) of an application program. The file version watermarks can indicate various properties of the original data file. The file version watermarks can include a high version watermark, a last version watermark, a low version watermark, a creation version watermark, and an object (100) version watermark.
