Title: Nucleic acids for the identification of fungi and methods for using the same
Inventor: MORRISON CHRISTINE J
IPC: C12Q1/6895
Filed: 2002-09-25
Abstract: Methods of detecting a dimorphic fungus, including differentiating a dimorph ic fungus from other fungi are disclosed. A sample suspected of containing a nucleic acid of a fungus, such as an internal transcribed spacer-2 (ITS2) nucleic acid sequence of a dimorphic fungal rDNA, is screened for the presen ce or absence of that nucleic acid. The presence of the nucleic acid indicates the sample was contacted by the fungus. Determining whether the nucleic acid sequence is present in the sample can be accomplished by detecting hybridization between a dimorphic probe, species-specific probe, and/or microbe-specific probe and a nucleic acid sequence corresponding to the ITS2 region of fungal rDNA. Kits and arrays for carrying out these methods also a re disclosed.

Patent CA-2474052-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PUY JEAN PHILIPPE
IPC: H02H6/00
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: The method is based on an association of at least two saturation criteria enabling detection of a saturation phase when said criteria are met simultaneously. The invention is characterized in that a first saturation criterion (C¿e? .¿ sat?) takes into account the calculation of an instantaneous prediction error ( (Y¿k?)) as a function of the differential between the measured secondary current (<i>i</i>¿<i>s</i>?) and the secondary current (I¿s?) predicted with the aid of a mathematical model, and in that a second saturation criterion (C<SB>F</SB>.¿sat?) takes into account the instantaneous algebraic flux (<SP>F</SP>.¿mes?) calculated by integration of the sampled secondary current (Y¿k?), comparing said algebraic flux to a positive threshold (S+, S'+) and to a negative threshold (S-, S'-). Said comparison is initialized by exaggerating the probabilities of meeting the second saturation criterion at the beginning of the measurement, more particularly by an over-estimation (F_rem_haut) of the absolute value of the remanent flux of the transformer.

Title: Control system
Inventor: MOSHAL MARTIN
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2003-02-12
Abstract: A control system (1) for an online casino game has a man-machine interface (Figure 1) operable by a player to regulate the progress of the game, and includes a switch means (8) operable by the player to selectively switch the man-machine interface between two modes in which the player may regulate the progress of the particular game. The two modes are a regular mode in which the interface is of a predetermined complexity, and an expert mode in which the interface is of an increased complexity relative to that of the regular mode.  The control system is activatable by the player to automatically regulate the progress of a slectable number of consecutive turns of the game without further intervention from the player. The automatic progress of the consecutive turns of the game is interruptible by the player at anytime before completion thereof. The configuration facility is also configurable to cause the selected number of consecutive turns of the game to progress automatically until all the turns are complete, or to terminate upon winning of a jackpot prize available for the casino game, alternatively upon occurrence of a successful wager, further alternatively upon occurrence of a success wager exceeding a predetermined threshold, still further alternatively upon occurrence of a wager that causes a bankroll of the player to change by more than a predetermined amount.

Title: Procede de fabrication de moules ouverts en plusieurs tours
Inventor: BROWN CHARLES
IPC: B29C70/30
Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de fabrication de moules en plusieurs tours, comprenant un circuit à rail aérien sur lequel plusieurs moules transitent en boucle fermée sur plusieurs tours. Le système décrit dans cette invention est divisé en Zones dans lesquelles une opération de moulage particulière est exécutée au cours des multiples tours afin de produire les moules. Au moins une des Zones est une Zone de pulvérisation dans laquelle le moule est pulvérisé par l'intermédiaire d'un robot. L'utilisation de la robotique est extrêmement importante car plusieurs opérations de pulvérisation sont exécutées dans presque toutes les Zones à l'exception de quelques Zones de pulvérisation. L'application de dispositifs antipollution extrêmement onéreux est, au moins en partie, limitée grâce au nombre réduit des stations de pulvérisation et à l'encombrement infiniment plus restreint. Le regroupement des multiples opérations de pulvérisation dans un nombre restreint de Zones de pulvérisation permet également de simplifier avantageusement la régulation des variables chimiques et ambiantes, ce qui améliore la productivité et diminue la dépendance de l'opérateur.
