Title: Trainable adaptive focused replicator network for analysing data
Inventor: MALYJ WASYL
IPC: G16B30/00
Filed: 2000-07-25
Abstract: Electronic data is classified using adaptive focused replicator network (AFRNs). AFRNs are sets of array elements, each array element being trainable in order to replicate a predetermined sub-group of data. Unknown data is inputted into each and every array element in an AFRN array and then replicated by each element array. A comparison is made for each array element to determine the accuracy of each replication. If only one array element successfully replicates the unknown data, then the unknown data is classified in accordance with the corresponding predetermined sub-group of data.

Title: Method and system for initiating idle handoff in a wireless communications system
Inventor: SHI YU
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A mobile station moves from location (205) to location (206), and considers handing off from a first base station (204) to a second base station (203). It does not do so as soon as the signal from the second base station exceeds th at from first base station by a fixed design parameter. Instead, the design parameter is made dependent upon the distances (208) and (210) between the mobile station and the base stations, so that handoff is more likely the closer the mobile station gets to the second base station, and the farther i t gets from the first base station.

Title: Modular endoluminal stent having matched stiffness regions
Inventor: QUIGLEY FERGUS P
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-11-16
Abstract: A modular elongated stent having an overlap region where two modular components fit together, the overlap region being relatively stiff as compared to another more flexible region of the stent when the stent is in an assembled configuration, the stent further comprising a mimic region that has a stiffness essentially equivalent to the stiffness of the overlap region, to provide kink resistance. A stent having such a mimic region or otherwise stiff region and a flexible region may have a transition region between the stiff and flexible regions, such as a bridging material attached to the stent, also to provide kink resistance. A stent may have relatively stiff regions and relatively flexible regions positioned to align the flexible regions with curved regions of a body lumen when deployed within the body lumen. The stiffness of the stiff, flexible, and transition regions may be controlled by attaching material to the stent, varying the cross-sectional area of the stent components, varying the metallurgical properties thereof, and/or by varying the stent architecture. Methods for providing kink resistance by controlling stent stiffness are also disclosed. A stent having regions of different metallurgical properties is also disclosed, as are methods for creating such a stent.

Patent CA-2393459-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PORTER KELVIN R
IPC: G06Q20/14
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: In a communications network that provides services to a plurality of users, events occurring during service processing are accumulated in an event recor d and sent to a record processor to perform post-processing, such as assessing  charges to be billed to users of the network. Each service processing node i n the communications network accumulates event records, bundles them with instructions as to how they are to be processed, and dispatches them to one or more record processors (408). Before being sent to a record processor, an event record is augmented with instructions describing how to perform processing upon the events in the event record. The record processors (408) are general-purpose processors and the instructions for post-processing are carried within the event records themselves. Post-processors are no longer required to be dedicated to a particular purpose such as billing computation . Furthermore, deployment of post-processing function is more timely and can b e integrated with deployment of service processing functions to network servic e processors (410).

Title: Golf club having replaceable striking surface attachments and method for replacing same
Inventor: TUCKER RICHARD B C SR
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: An adjustable customized golf club, e.g., a golf putter, as well as a method for using the club, wherein the club has a head, a striking surface attachment, and one or more lock fittings that positively lock the striking surface attachment to the head. The striking surface attachment is one of several selectable attachments, each with different performance characteristics, e.g., rebound. The one or more lock fittings positively lock the striking surface attachments to the putter head such that the club components are firmly fixed, yet are still quickly removable and replaceable.  In a representative embodiment, the striking surface attachment can be removed by hand and without tools. A golfer quickly changes the striking surface attachments without losing the feel of the prior striking surface attachment, thereby enabling the golfer to realistically compare the differences between the attachments before selecting and playing with a particular striking surface attachment.

Title: Image metrics in the statistical analysis of dna microarray data
Inventor: GOODWIN PAUL C
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: Expression profiling using DNA microarrays is an important new method for analyzing cellular physiology. In "spotted" microarrays, fluorescently labeled cDNA from experimental and control cells is hybridized to arrayed target DNA and the arrays imaged at two or more wavelengths. Statistical is performed on microarray images and show that non-additive background, high intensity fluctuations across spots, and fabrication artifacts interfere with the accurate determination of intensity information.  The probability density distributions generated by pixel-by-pixel analysis of images can be used to measure the precision with which spot intensities are determined. Simple weighting schemes based on these probability distributions are effective in improving significantly the quality of microarray data as it accumulates in a multiexperiment database. Error estimates from image-based metrics should be one component in an explicity probabilistic scheme for the analysis of DNA microarray data.

Title: System and method for the delivery of targeted data over wireless networks
Inventor: HOST GERALD
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2001-02-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for the passive location positioning of wireless handsets for the purposes of delivering targeted data to users in a wireless communications network while protecting the privacy of the users. The network may contain a plurality of clusters comprising at least two physical nodes communication with each other via a remote link. The first node, the Mediation Server, receives raw location positioning data from the wireless communications network and sends standardized location positioning data with encrypted unique identifiers to the second node, the Profiling Server. The Profiling Server tracks and profiles current and historical location positioning data, compiling databases of anonymous user profiles to permit targeting of personalized and relevant data. The Profiling Server targets data to users with matching profiles and forwards those messages to the Mediation Server for encryption and further message compilation and transport. Privacy is achieved by separation of data collection and message transmission functions from the profiling and targeting functions. The present invention also concerns a method of anonymizing data related to a wireless transceiver.
