Patent CA-2489700-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and system for location management and location information providing system
Inventor: SAWADA MASAHIRO
IPC: H04Q7/36
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: An information providing system provides location information of a mobile station in a mobile network to a terminal. A location server in the network manages location of the mobile station. A location information server communicates with the terminal. Upon receiving, from an object's transmitting device, identifying information for an object, the mobile station transmits the mobile station identifying information and the received identifying information to the location server.  The location server receives and stores this information. Upon receiving, from said terminal, an inquiry of mobile station location information including the mobile identifying information, the location information server judges whether the corresponding object identifying information is stored in the location server.  If the object identifying information is found, then the location information server informs the terminal that the mobile station is in the object.

Title: Cancer vaccine containing cross-species epitopes of telomerase reverse transcriptase
Inventor: FROLKIS MARIA
IPC: C12N9/12
Filed: 2003-06-24
Abstract: It has been discovered that a robust and therapeutic anti-cancer response can be generated by immunizing with a xenogeneic form of the enzyme telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). Cancer subjects are multiply immunized with TERT  from another species-either in protein form, or with a TERT expression vector.  Presence of the xenogeneic components apparently overcomes natural immunotolerance to self-antigen. The response can be focused by simultaneous or subsequent immunization with isogenic TERT. As a result, the immune system generates T lymphocytes that are cytotoxic for virtually any cancer cell, by virtue of TERT expressed due to malignant transformation. The anti-tumor response causes a substantial inhibition of tumor cell growth, demonstrating the therapeutic benefit of this invention.

Title: Apparatus and method for scanning and sorting tobacco leaves
Inventor: COLEMAN G A JOHN
IPC: A24C1/28
Filed: 2005-03-09
Abstract: An apparatus for scanning and sorting tobacco leaves includes a conveyor to convey a flow of tobacco leaves. The flow of tobacco leaves includes acceptable and unacceptable leaves and undesirable particles. An air flow source lifts and accelerates the flow of leaves and particles to a speed at which the leaves and particles are separated. A duct contains the lifted and accelerated flow. A scanning device scans the flow in the duct and generates a signal upon detection of an unacceptable leaf and/or undesirable particle. A rejection device responds to the signal and forces the unacceptable leaf and/or undesirable particle from the duct. A method of scanning and sorting tobacco leaves includes conveying a flow of tobacco leaves including acceptable and unacceptable leaves and undesirable particles, lifting and accelerating the flow to a speed at which the leaves and particles are separated, scanning the separated leaves and particles to detect unacceptable leaves and undesirable particles, and forcing unacceptable leaves and/or undesirable particles from the accelerated flow of leaves. The flow may be accelerated to a speed of between 4,000 - 6,000 ft/min. The scanning device may be an optical or laser scanning device that scans the flow between 2,000 - 12,000 times per second.

Title: Engine exhaust muffler with exhaust emission control function
Inventor: OHNO SYUJI
IPC: F21Y101/00
Filed: 2005-03-31
Abstract: In an engine exhaust muffler with an exhaust emission control function, the inside of a box-shaped muffler body is divided into a first exhaust chamber and a second exhaust chamber by a partitioning member which has a third exhaust chamber formed therein. The muffler body is provided with an exhaust inlet for introducing exhaust gas from an engine into the first exhaust chamber. The partitioning member is provided with first communication bores providing communication between the first and second exhaust chambers, and second communication bores providing communication between the second exhaust chamber and the third exhaust chamber. The third exhaust chamber is open to the atmosphere through an exhaust outlet pipe. An exhaust emission control catalyst is carried on an outer surface of the partitioning member facing the first and second exhaust chambers, as well as on an inner surface of the partitioning member facing the third exhaust chamber. An inner surface of the muffler body does not carry the exhaust emission control catalyst. Thus, in this exhaust muffler, thermal damages to the adjacent devices are less, the structure is simple and inexpensive, and a loss in output from the engine is less.

IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-06-20
Abstract: This application relates to the production and characterization of a mutant strain of Aspergillus fumigatus. The application also relates to a method for inhibiting siderophore biosynthesis in Aspergillus fumigatus and an assay for identifying drug candidates or other agents having potential inhibitory activity. The method may comprise, for example, the step of inhibiting an enzyme catalyzing siderophore biosynthesis, such as L-ornithine N5-oxygenase. In one embodiment the siderophore is a hydroxamate siderophore, such as N'N"N"'-triacetylfusarinine C (TAF) or ferricrocin. A method of preventing or treating fungal infections in a patient is also described comprising administering to the patient an agent suitable for inhibiting fungal secretion of siderophores.      The method is particularly useful for immunocompromised patients susceptible to fungal infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, such as pulmonary aspergillosis. The invention also relates to diagnostic methods for detecting a biomarker indicative of likely A fumigatus infection in vivo, such as serum presence of TAF.
