Title: Concrete sideform system
Inventor: SLADOJEVIC ROBERT RADOVAN
IPC: B28B7/00
Filed: 2005-05-24
Granted: 2013-10-29
Abstract: This invention concerns a concrete side form system suitable for factory casting or site casting concrete. The side form (10) comprises a substantially rigid longitudinally extending wall. The wall has a first face to define the edge profile of a concrete panel poured onto a casting bed (16) bounded by the wall and a second face opposite the first face having formation to enable the wall to be secured to the casting bed. The wall comprises a longitudinally extending frame having formation along at least one of its edges to removably receive a removable longitudinal insert (13) to provide a shape along an edge of the concrete panel. The removable inserts (12, 13) provide the system with the ability to simply, easily and cost effectively change the edge profile of concrete poured against the side form. Architects can use the invention to specify standard or non standard edge profiles and achieve a much more diverse range of aesthetic finishes to the concrete edges without the cost being prohibitive.
Patent CA-2567591-C (CA)
Title: Method for nucleic acid sequencing in the absence of divalent metal ion
Inventor: FULLER CARL W
IPC: C07H21/02
Filed: 2005-06-09
Granted: 2011-08-02
Abstract: This invention provides methods for nucleic acid analysis. A closed complex of nucleic acid template, nucleotide and polymerase can be formed during polymerase reaction, absent divalent metal ion. This is used to trap the labeled nucleotide complementary to the next template nucleotide in the closed complex. Detection of the label allows determination of the identity of this next correct nucleotide. Identification can be either in place, as part of the complex, or as the dye is eluted from the complex when the reaction cycle is completed by the addition of divalent metal ion. In this way, sequential nucleotides of a DNA can be identified, effectively determining the DNA  sequence. This method can be applied to nucleic acid single molecules or to collections of identical or nearly identical sequence such as PCR products or clones. Multiple templates can be sequenced in parallel, particularly if they are immobilized on a solid support.

Title: System and method for verifying installation of a tank level monitor
Inventor: CUPPLES KENNETH ALAN
IPC: G08B21/00
Filed: 2005-08-10
Granted: 2012-11-20
Abstract: A system and method of verifying the installation and data path used by a tank level monitor is provided. Once an installer completes the installation of the tank level monitor, the monitor is activated. The monitor performs a self test and transmits information to a data center. Preferably, the transmission is via a cellular communication network. Once the data center receives the information from the newly installed tank level monitor, the data center generates a text based message that is sent to the installer to verify that the installation was successful. The message from the data center is preferably an email message that can be delivered to a wireless messaging device held by the installer. The generation and transmission of the verification message should be approximately immediate, and certainly within five minutes to provide rapid feed back to the installer.

Abstract: Thin film devices implantable within a human subject for occlusion of an aneurysm or body vessel are provided. The devices are movable from an elongated, collapsed configuration for delivery to a deployed configuration within the body. Open slots in selected portions of the device telescope as the device moves to its deployed configuration, which causes the associated portions to longitudinally foreshorten and radially expand, while also decreasing in porosity for preventing blood flow. Closed slits in other portions of the device open as the device moves to its deployed configuration, which causes the associated portions to longitudinally foreshorten and radially expand, while remaining open for fluid flow or endothelialization.  The occlusion devices may be either self-supporting or supported by a strut structure. Additionally, the occlusion devices may comprise a plurality of mesh layers having unaligned pore systems which further reduce porosity in desired portions of the deployed configuration.

Abstract: Methods are provided for processing seismic data to remove unwanted noise from reflection signals. Assembled seismic data is transformed from the offset-time domain to the time-slowness domain using a Radon transformation within defined slowness limits p min and p max that will preserve coherent noise, and according to an index j of the slowness set and a sampling variable .DELTA.p;  wherein (see above formula ) .DELTA. p is from about 0.5 to about 4.0 µsec/m. The coherent noise content of the transformed data is enhanced, and the primary reflection signal content diminished by filtering the transformed data. The filtered data is inverse transformed from the time-slowness domain back to the offset-time domain using an inverse Radon transformation. The restored amplitude data of the filtered data is subtracted from the originally assembled amplitude data. The coherent noise content of the assembled amplitude data is thereby diminished and the primary reflection signal content enhanced.
