Abstract: La présente invention concerne des vecteurs recombinants viraux et non viraux, qui comprennent un transgène codant pour une enzyme lysosomiale humaine biologiquement active, ces vecteurs étant capables d'infecter et/ou de transfecter, et d'entretenir l'expression du transgène de cette enzyme lysosomiale humaine biologiquement active dans des cellules mammifères qui en sont déficientes. Cette invention concerne également des procédés destinés à apporter une enzyme lysosomiale humaine biologiquement active à des cellules qui en sont déficientes, ces procédés consistant notamment à introduire dans ces cellules un vecteur renfermant et exprimant un transgène codant pour ladite enzyme lysosomiale humaine biologiquement active, ce vecteur étant absorbé par les cellules, ledit transgène exprimé, et l'enzyme biologiquement active produite. Les cellules peuvent être infectées et/ou transfectées au moyen de ce vecteur, selon que ce dernier est un vecteur viral, et/ou un plasmide, ou un corps analogue. Cette invention concerne par ailleurs un procédé destiné à apporter une enzyme lysosomiale humaine biologiquement active à d'autres cellules distantes qui en sont déficientes, les cellules transfectées et/ou infectées qui abritent ce vecteur sécrétant par ailleurs l'enzyme biologiquement active, laquelle est ensuite absorbée par les autres cellules déficientes. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la présente invention concerne la production soutenue d'alpha-galactosidase A humaine biologiquement active dans des cellules de sujets atteints de la maladie de Fabry, et qui présentent donc une déficience de cette enzyme.

Title: Communication en duplex a repartition de frequence et a repartition dans le temps dans des systemes de radiocommunication
Inventor: LENZO MICHAEL
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: Une architecture de canal flexible prend en charge une communication radioélectrique en duplex intégral, entre une station de base, telle qu'une station de base de type PWT (radiocommunication personnelle) ou de type DECT, et un groupe de terminaux à distance. La communication de la base vers les terminaux se fait à travers une porteuse radioélectrique possédant une première fréquence, la communication des terminaux vers la base se faisant à travers une seconde porteuse radioélectrique possédant une seconde fréquence. Chaque porteuse est organisée de façon à fournir un train de données à accès multiple à répartition dans le temps, à N intervalles (N représentant un entier), de sorte que les deux porteuses ensemble forment un système à 2N intervalles. A l'intérieur de chaque trame de données, les données circulant de la base vers les terminaux sont envoyées sur la première porteuse durant une première moitié de la trame, les données circulant des terminaux vers la base étant envoyées sur la seconde porteuse durant la moitié de la trame restante. Une station de base complémentaire, supplémentaire, conçue pour émettre lorsque la première station de base reçoit et vice versa, peut être placée avec la première station de base pour assurer une efficacité à plein temps et dans tout le spectre, dans une zone de couverture desservie par les stations de base.

IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: In a technique for priority forwarding, an upper layer protocol that requires priority forwarding includes a priority function that is invoked by a lower layer protocol in order to obtain the priority for a message. The upper layer protocol provides the priority function to the lower layer protocol when the upper layer protocol is installed in the protocol stack. The lower layer protocol invokes the priority function before passing a message to the upper layer protocol in order to determine a priority for the message. The lower layer protocol places the message in the appropriate queue based upon the priority indicator obtained from the upper layer protocol's priority function.

Patent CA-2311366-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEEMHUIS ADRIAN S
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: The invention provides a method of managing a mutual fund brokerage wherein subscribers, intending to purchase mutual fund portions in at least one mutual fund, enter into a service contract with the mutual fund brokerage. Each subscriber pays to the brokerage a subscription charge and the brokerage maintains a separate portfolio of mutual fund portions for each subscriber and a separate subscriber account balance including payments of subscription charges received from each subscriber. The brokerage executes a number of mutual fund portion purchase/sell transactions on behalf of a trading subscriber with a target mutual fund selected by the trading subscriber. The improvement relates to not charging front-end or back-end loaded commissions, together with the rebating of trailer fees from no-load funds where all service fees received by the brokerage from each paying mutual fund are apportioned pro rata for each portion of said paying mutual fund in each subscribers portfolio. The purchaser can also participate in deciding the manner in which savings in brokerage fees can be handled to their maximum benefit and/or convenience. In this way, the subscriber pays a predictable charge to the brokerage and receives a higher return on investment than under conventional methods where significant amounts of service fees are retained by the brokerage. In the past, where brokerage operations depended on personal service and advice to purchasers, high brokerage fees and commissions could be justified somewhat. However, many current mutual fund purchasers research mutual fund performance over the internet themselves and merely place orders by computer with discount brokerages. The service fees paid to brokerages result in a significant reduction in the purchaser's return from a mutual fund investment which is unwarranted in many circumstances.

Inventor: ZORZI EDWARD S
IPC: H02K7/02
Filed: 1999-02-09
Abstract: Flywheel battery systems having improved energy density are provided. Such systems preferably have an inner rotor (118) mounted coaxially and substantially cylindrically within an outer containment (120) so as to manage the net gyroscopic force generated by the flywheel system. The outer rotor (120) has a greater relative inertia as compared to said inner rotor (118) and therefore can be rotated at a relatively lower rotational velocity to balance the gyroscopic forces generated by the rotation of the inner rotor. The relative rotational velocities of the inner and outer rotor are maintained by a combined mechanical and magnetic drive/suspension system (130).

Title: Means for estimating charged state of battery and method for estimating degraded state of battery
Inventor: KIKUCHI YOSHIAKI
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1999-05-25
Abstract: Means for estimating the charged state of a battery, capable of accurately estimating an SOC even though the battery repeats charging/discharging in short cycles. The charging/discharging current Ib measured by current sensing means (10) is integrated, and pseudo-SOC estimating means estimates a pseudo-SOC. Electromotive force estimating means (16) estimates the open voltage Voc from the pseudo-SOC. Voltage change estimating means (18) estimates the voltage change Vr due to the internal resistance from the charging/discharging current Ib. Dynamic voltage change estimating means (20) estimates the voltage change Vdyn due to the change of the charging/discharging current. An adder (22) adds the Voc, Vr, and Vdyn to calculate an estimated voltage Vest of the battery. SOC correction calculating means (26) calculates the correction of the SOC for equalizing the estimated voltage Vest to the measured voltage Vmes measured by voltage sensing means (12), and an adder (28) adds the correction to the pseudo-SOC to estimate the SOC of the battery.

Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) system (110) is provided for managing and controlling multiple network devices (160a, 160e) and client applications in a telecommunications network. The GUI system provides an integrated environment in which a user sends instructions and data to the network devices and client applications and receives back data related to status of the network devices and client applications. The integrated environment allows the user to access many window screens (226a-226c) which are all tied into one main window (234).  The many window screens provide options for commands and views of data related to various areas of management and control of the telecommunications network.  The one main window provides a point of reference so that the user does not have to log onto various systems numerous times or use different terminals dependent upon which command or data the user desires to send or receive.  Training and operational time and costs are thus reduced from prior art systems.
