Patent CA-2670817-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BHUSHAN NAGA
IPC: H03G3/30
Filed: 2007-11-29
Abstract: Techniques for supporting efficient operation by terminals in a wireless communication system are described. A base station transmits a preamble peri odically in each superframe. The preamble includes at least one first OFDM s ymbol for control information followed by at least one second OFDM symbol fo r paging information. A terminal receives the first and second OFDM symbols and determines a receiver gain based on the received power of the first OFDM symbol(s), e.g., with an AGC loop having a shorter time constant than the d uration of the first OFDM symbol(s). The terminal processes the second OFDM symbol(s) based on the receiver gain to obtain the paging information. The t erminal may operate in an idle state, determine superframes assigned to the terminal, sleep between the assigned superframes, and process the first and second OFDM symbols in each assigned superframe to obtain the paging informa tion.

Title: Wood adhesives comprising protein and oxazoline polymer or resin
Inventor: CRESCIMANNO STEPHEN A
IPC: C09J137/00
Filed: 2009-08-11
Abstract: The present invention provides wood adhesive binder compositions comprising a naturally occurring protein component, e.g. soy flour, and an oxazoline-functional group containing polymer or resin component, the two components in a solids weight ratio of from 60:40 to 98:2. As formulated, the compositions may comprise from 40 to 98 wt.% of the naturally occurring protein component, preferably, 50 wt.% or more. Preferably, the wood adhesive binder further comprises lignins or lignosulfonate.

Title: Method, apparatus and computer program for analysing medical image data
Inventor: YOUNG RUPERT CHARLES DAVID
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2008-03-19
Abstract: Medical image data is analysed to produce a biomarker. The data is filtered with a plurality of band-pass filters each having a different bandwidth. A texture parameter is then determined from the filtered data from each filter and the biomarker is determined as at a ratio of the texture parameters. When the biomarker is obtained from a CT image of a liver, it can be predictive of poor survival, disease extent and liver physiology of a patient following resection of colorectal cancer. When obtained from a mammographic image, the biomarker can be indicative of cancer invasion and receptor status within mammographic abnormalities. When obtained from a CT image of a lung nodule, the biomarker can be predictive of tumour stage (or grading) and tumour metabolism of a patient with non-small cell lung carcinoma (lung cancer). When obtained from an MRI image of the brain, the biomarker can be indicative of schizophrenia and/or other brain disorders.

Title: Supply of requested offer based on point-of-service to offeree distance
Inventor: MOSER DENNIS NORMAN
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2007-11-07
Abstract: An automated communication system supplies a requested offer for inventory to an offeree based on the distance between an offeror-merchant to the offeree. A consumer can request an in-person offer for inventory using a consumer device that transmits to a Requested Offer Supplier (ROS) the request, the location of the consumer device to a Requested Offer Supplier (ROS), and a return address. The ROS matches the consumer's request for inventory to a set of merchants having the requested inventory, and that are willing to make an in-person offer for the requested inventory. The ROS transmits the in-person offer to the consumer with the consumer device. The customer may then travel to the offering merchant and enter into a transaction with the merchant for the requested inventory that applies the in-person offer to the transaction.
