Patent CA-2450030-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FINNEY GRAHAM
IPC: G06F1/14
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: A method for managing timers in a system reduces the memory and time requirement to allocate and find a timer in an array. An expiry time is calculated by combining an instantaneous clock time with the timer time value, and the expiry time is in significant units of time. A multidimensional array comprises a plurality of unidimensional arrays. Each unidimensional array corresponds to a significant unit of time and is split into elements. Each element of the unidimensional array corresponds to a standard unit of time for the significant unit of time of that unidimensional array. The value of the highest order of significant units of the expiry time is used to determine the position of the timer in the array. If any time remains in the expiry time value it is placed with the timer in the array. When the expiry time of that significant unit of time has expired, the remaining value is used to determine the position of the timer in the next unidimensional array. When no remainder remains in the expiry time value, the timer times out.

Title: Ice skate blade
Inventor: BOISVERT MARC
IPC: A63C1/42
Filed: 2003-12-31
Abstract: In this method, an ice skate blade surface is heated - using a pulse plasma nitriding process - so as to obtain a hardness coefficient at various points along the longitudinal lines of the blade surface. The hardness coefficient is softer at the centre line of the blade and will increase gradually to reach a maximum hardness coefficient on each longitudinal side of the blade. This construction provides an ice skate blade that comprises two main properties: a) an improved resistance to various stress because of its softer part on the centre line of the blade which creates more flexibility on the blade, and b) an improved adhesion to the ice surface for a prolonged period of time due the greater hardness along each longitudinal side of the blade.

Title: Novel combi-molecules having egfr and dna targeting properties
Inventor: JEAN-CLAUDE BERTRAND
IPC: C07D413/12
Filed: 2004-06-14
Abstract: A process for the synthesis of high affinity irreversible inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) having fluorescent properties and significant anti-proliferative activity is described. More specifically, the mechanism of action of ZR2002, a chimeric aminoquinazoline designed to possess mixed EGFR tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitory and DNA targeting properties, was compared with those of ZR01, a reversible inhibitor of the same class and PD168393, a known irreversible inhibitor of EGFR. ZR2002 was shown to exhibit 4-fold stronger EGFR TK inhibitory activity than its structural homologue ZR01 but was approximately 3-fold less active than the 6-acrylamidoquinazoline PD168393. It preferentially blocked EGF and TGF.alpha.-induced cell growth over PDGF and serum. It also inhibited signal transduction in heregulin-stimulated breast tumour cells, indicating that it does not only block EGFR but also its closely related erbB2 gene product. In contrast to its structural homologues, ,ZR2002 was capable of inducing significant levels of DNA strand breaks in MDA-MB-468 cells after a short 2 h drug exposure and at a concentration as low as 10 mM.
