Patent CA-2397903-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASAKI ICHIROU
IPC: C12N15/86
Filed: 2001-01-11
Abstract: Use of a paramyxovirus vector makes it possible to transfer a nucleic acid into a blood vessel at a high efficiency even by exposing to the vector within a short period of time. Namely, a paramyxovirus vector to be used for transferring a nucleic acid into vascular cells and a nucleic acid transfer method with the use of this virus vector are provided. The gene transfer efficiency into the vascular media layer is significantly elevated by treating the blood vessel with a protease. The expression of the transferred gene remains stable over a long time in the vascular cells. Use of this method makes it possible to efficiently transfer a gene within a short period of time into the vascular cavity, media, tunica tissues, etc. in gene therapy.

Title: Method and apparatus for assessing neural function by sparse stimuli
Inventor: MADDESS TEDDY LEE
IPC: A61B5/04
Filed: 2001-03-27
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for simultaneously assessing the functional status of component parts of the nervous system by presenting sparse stimuli to one or more parts of the sensory nervous system. Sparse stimuli consist of temporal sequences of stimulus conditions presented against a baseline null stimulus condition, where the non-null stimulus condition, or conditions, are presented relatively infrequently. The low probability of encountering a stimulus differing from a baseline or null stimulus condition in sparse stimulus sequences insures that gain control mechanisms within the nervous system will increase the neural response magnitude and also bias the measured responses to those neurone populations having such gain controls. The con-sequently increased response amplitudes ensure more reliably recorded responses than are obtained with non-sparse stimuli.
Patent CA-2406325-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BADDOUR RALPH E
IPC: G10K11/162
Filed: 2002-10-11
Abstract: This invention is concerned with a method of attenuating sound transmission in any medium (e.g. air, water, human tissue). The similarity of the scattering of light waves and acoustic waves by crystal-like structures is recognised. Accordingly, a method is devised to inhibit the transmission of sound using one or more intervening acoustic crystals placed in parallel or in series. An acoustic crystal is defined as an ensemble consisting of either (1) a two-dimensional array of straight rigid cylinders placed parallel, or (2) a three-dimensional array of rigid spheres.  By customising the ensemble element (i.e. cylinder or sphere) dimensions, spacings, and properties (density, compressibility, and Poisson's ratio) different bands of the sound spectrum can be impeded according to the desired application.
