Patent CA-2577335-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOTHARI MANISH
IPC: G02B26/00
Filed: 2005-08-22
Abstract: Disclosed is new architecture of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device.  The device has a partially reflective optical layer, a deformable mechanical layer and a mirror layer, each of which forms an independent electrode. A  support post separates the optical layer from the mechanical layer. The mirror layer is located and movable between a first position and a second position, which are located between the optical layer and the mechanical layer. The mirror is spaced from the support post, and mirror is responsive to voltages applied to the three electrodes, thereby moving between the first position and the second position. By applying various combinations of voltage differences between the optical layer and the mirror, and between the mirror and the mechanical layer, the location of the mirror between the first and second positions is tunable throughout the space between the two positions. The tunable MEMS device can be used as an analog display element or analog electrical device such as a tunable capacitor. The MEMS device of the disclosed architecture can also be operated in a non-analog manner.

Patent CA-2579292-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OTANI ATSUSHI
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2005-09-02
Abstract: Isolated, mammalian, adult bone marrow-derived, lineage negative hematopoietic stem cell population (Lin HSCs) contain endothelial progenitor cells (ECPs) capable of rescuing retinal blood vessels and neuronal networks in the eye.  Preferably at least about 20% of the cells in the isolated Lin HSCs express the cell surface antigen CD31. The isolated Lin HSC populations are useful for treatment of ocular vascular diseases and to ameliorate cone cell degeneration in the retina. In a preferred embodiment, the Lin HSCs are isolated by extracting bone marrow from an adult mammal; separating a plurality of monocytes from the bone marrow; labeling the monocytes with biotin-conjugated lineage panel antibodies to one or more lineage surface antigens; removing of monocytes that are positive for the lineage surface antigens from the plurality of monocytes, and recovering a Lin HSCs population containing EPCs.  The isolated Lin HSCs also can be transfected with therapeutically useful genes. The treatment may be enhanced by stimulating proliferation of activated astrocytes in the retina using a laser.

Title: Direct reversal of the suppressive function of cd4+ regulatory t cells via toll-like receptor 8 signaling
Inventor: WANG RONG-FU
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2006-03-09
Abstract: CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells profoundly suppress host immune responses and thus protect against autoimmune disease while restricting desired immune responses such as antitumor immunity. Synthetic phosphorothioate-protected, guanosine-containing oligonucleotides can directly reverse the suppressive activity of Treg cells without involving dendritic cells. This effect appears to be transduced by signaling through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 8 and engagement of the MyD88 and IRAK4 molecules in Treg cells. Stimulation of Treg cells with natural ligands for human TLR8 recapitulated the effect of the synthetic guanosine-containing oligonucleotides .

Title: System and method for granting transmit capability in a push to communicate system
Inventor: ALLEN ANDREW
IPC: H04W4/10
Filed: 2006-07-19
Abstract: Systems of methods for performing queued and moderated communication groups in a system featuring network provided half duplex communications communication group sessions are provided. According to one aspect, a first mobile terminal provides the network with an identification of a second mobile terminal so that the network may automatically grant the transmit capability to the second mobile terminal after a transmitting mobile has finished transmitting communication. Therefore, the second mobile terminal receives the transmit capability without even requesting it, or without the network having to wait to receive a request for the transmit capability. According to another aspect, priority information is pre-assigned during creation of the communication group or dynamically assigned by another mobile user during the talk group session. Granting of the transmit capability and the time duration of the transmit capability is dependent upon the priority information. In this manner, priority information is group-specific.
