Patent CA-2610555-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JIANG LICAI
IPC: G21K1/02
Filed: 2006-01-04
Abstract: A two-dimensional x-ray scattering camera includes a source, an optic, a detector, and a pair of collimating blocks. The source emits x-ray beams that are reflected by the optic towards a sample. The detector detects scattering from the sample, the pair of collimating blocks is positioned between the optic and the detector to collimate the beam. A bottom surface of one block is substantially parallel a top surface of the other block, and the blocks are rotatable relative to the beam about a pivot. The system forms a two-dimensional beam that is symmetric about the primary beam axis at the detector position, regardless how the beam is collimated by the collimating blocks. The system therefore eliminates smearing and can be used for anisotropic small angle scattering at high resolution and low Qmin.

Abstract: A gaming system (100) provides a secondary game in which the outcome depends on the results from multiple instances of a primary game. The secondary game is associated with a particular structure that includes a number of separate locations (502). Each of the secondary game locations (502) is linked to a particular instance of the primar game so that the results of a particular instance of the primary game determine the condition or state of a respective secondary game location (502). Additionally, each location (502) in the secondary game structure makes up a certain component of a secondary game display. Players receive an award if a certain pattern is displayed in the secondary game structure based on the application of the multiple instances of the primar game to the secondary game structure.

Title: Method for isolating stem cells from cryopreserved dental tissue
Inventor: THIE MICHAEL
IPC: A61K35/52
Filed: 2006-07-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for isolating non-embryonic stem cells from a tissue that is located in immediate vicinity of immature, developing teeth or wisdom teeth.
