Title: Platform for training and aiding a pet to use a conventional toilet
Inventor: BERUBE DENIS
IPC: A01K1/01
Filed: 2005-07-20
Abstract: A platform for training and aiding a pet to use a conventional toilet is attached to the rim of a toilet bowl and further provided with a holding means used for holding a tray containing a substance to attract and create a habit for the pet to come to that location. Instead of a tray, a specially designed unit containing cat litter ar its equivalent can also be used for the same purpose. Over time, the holding means can be removed as the pet no longer needs to be « baited » to the location. In this manner, only the holding means and tray become useless, a far lesser investment.

Title: Method for embedding a server into a storage subsystem
Inventor: KARPOFF WAYNE T
IPC: G06F/
Filed: 2004-08-06
Abstract: A server is embedded directly into a storage subsystem [Controller Node]. When moving between the storage subsystem domain and the server domain, data copying is minimized. Data management functionality written for traditional servers is implemented within a stand-alone storage subsystem, generally without software changes to the ported subsystems. The hardware executing the storage subsystem and server subsystem can be implemented in a way that provides reduced latency, compared to traditional architectures, when communicating between the storage subsystem and the server subsystem. When using a plurality of clustered controllers, traditional load-balancing software can be used to provide scalability of server functions. One end-result is a storage system that provides a wide range of data management functionality, that supports a heterogeneous collection of clients [HOST], that can be quickly customized for specific applications, that easily leverages existing third party software, and that provides optimal performance.

Title: Downlink telemetry system
Inventor: SUN CILI
IPC: E21B47/20
Filed: 2002-02-13
Abstract: A downlink telemetry system providing improved apparatus and methods for communicating instructions via pressure pulses from surface equipment to a downhole assembly. The apparatus comprises a surface transmitter for generating pressure pulses, a control system, and a downhole receiver for receiving and decoding pulses. In operation, a bypass valve is opened and closed to create a series of pressure pulses received and decoded by a downhole receiver. The method significantly reduces the time required for downlink communication without interrupting drilling and without interrupting uplink communications such that simultaneous, bi-directional communication is achievable if the uplink and downlink signals are sent at different frequencies. The telemetry scheme and algorithm provide an inventive method for filtering and decoding the downlink signals. The algorithm determines the time intervals between pulse peaks and decodes the intervals into an instruction. The algorithm also includes error checking for verifying that the instruction was properly received downhole.

Abstract: Induction of apoptosis in target cells is a key mechanism by which chemotherapy induces cell killing. An in vitro system has been established for determining carboplatin and paclitaxel (Taxol) chemosensitivity of epithelial ovarian cancer cells, where measurements of caspase-3 activation are surrogate markers for activation of chemotherapy-induced programmed cell death. To validate the assay as a predictor of clinical chemotherapy-induced programmed cell death. To validate the assay as a predictor of clinical chemosensitivity in vitro apoptotic response were compared to the clinical response of the patients from whom the tumor cells were isolated. Caspase-3 activation in response to in vitro chemotherapy to both drugs was shown to have an 83 %  positive predictive value and a 71 % negative predictive value. Markers of apoptosis such as caspase-3 activation can be quantitated and utilized to predict the clinical response to chemotherapy.
