Patent CA-2390451-C (CA)
Inventor: HUFFER SCOTT W
IPC: G06K19/077
Filed: 2002-06-12
Granted: 2010-08-17
Abstract: A printing process is provided in which a conductive ink is printed over a printed pattern formed by a coating having an additive that lowers surface tension. Printed electrical elements and antennae (including RFID antennae) are formed using this process. The coating with the surface tension lowering additive is printed on a substrate in a predetermined pattern. A conductive ink is then applied over the coating and, because of the difference in surface tension between the coating and the substrate, the ink flows away from the coating. The conductive ink dries between the printed coating pattern and forms the conductive element.

IPC: G06Q20/04
Filed: 2000-08-24
Granted: 2007-10-30
Abstract: A compact transactional document-scanning terminal that provides the means to conveniently capture an electronic image of most forms of printed documents at distributed locations, to capture either automatically from the scanned document or manually by operator interactivity all necessary process parameters or codes, to perform an electronic transaction in order to forward all the information to a remote computer or alternatively for local storage within the terminal, and to produce an electronic receipt and/or a paper receipt (43) as a proof that the scan and store transaction has been sucessful and for later retrieval of information associated with the scanned document. The compact transactional document-scanning terminal may be configured to respond to various customer specifications. For some forms of documents, an image analysis is immediately performed subsequent to the scan in order to extract all or part of the printed information, apply recognition algorithms to decode information and complete automatically the transaction without further human intervention.

Title: Composition and method for treatment of otitis media
Inventor: MAUTONE ALAN JOSEPH
IPC: A61K47/24
Filed: 2000-08-28
Granted: 2009-08-04
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of increasing and enhancing mammalian eustachian tube lumen patency and pressure equalization performance by administering an aerosolized mixture of lipid crystals comprised of a mixture of one or more lipids surfactants and one or more spreading agents selected from the group consisting of cholesteryl esters, phospholipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, in powder form, and one or more fluorocarbon propellants through a mammalian nasal orifice. Upon administration, the propellant(s) are evaporated from the mixture and the lipid crystals are deposited at a subject mammalian eustachian tube whereupon said lipid crystals come into contact with lumen surfaces of the tube forming an amorphous spread film thereupon substantially decreasing the opening pressure of the lumen. In a second preferred embodiment, a therapeutically active agent effective in the treatment of otitis media is added to the mixture of lipid crystals and upon administration of said aerosol mixture, the amorphous spread film formed thereby carries said therapeutically active agent through the eustachian tube to the tissues of the middle ear.

Abstract: This invention provides chimeric proteins comprising an apoptosis-inducing molecule fused to a member of a binding pair that is capable of binding to a selected cell that expresses a death receptor. When the selected cell is exposed in vivo or ex vivo to the chimeric protein, the selected cell undergoes apoptosis. The preferred embodiment is FasL protein fused to streptavidin. The methods of using the chimeric proteins are especially beneficial in causing activated lymphocytes to undergo apoptosis, thus modulating the immune response. Patients with conditions such as asthma or allergy, or patients undergoing transplantation with allogeneic or xenogeneic tissue are examples of patients who benefit from the methods of this invention.

Abstract: A proxy switch, communication methods, and communication logic for use in a mobile network are described. A proxy switch is deployed between a base station subsystem and a mobile station center. It receives signaling messages and either retransmits them, blocks them, converts them, or siphons them to an alternative network. Besides providing an ability to offload mobile traffic it provides a platform for new communication services. The proxy switch includes signaling message handling logic that receives signaling messages from the MSC  and BS in accordance with a mobile signaling protocol. State logic maintains state information of call sessions and mobile stations (MSs) used within the mobile communications network. Message interception logic detects whether a signaling message from an MSC is a new call originating message and if an MS  addressed in such a new call originating message is involved in a call. The message interception logic also prevents the new call originating message from being forwarded to the BS servicing the addressed MS. Message conversion logic converts the new call originating message to a feature notification message, and message transmission logic issues the feature notification message to the BS servicing the addressed MS.

Abstract: In this radio portable terminal communication system, a service document file is converted into a window-related document file, speech-dialog-related document file, and information sharing document file. A description of a telephone number for speech communication with a center is added to the window-related document file. The window-related document file is output to a place where the file can be used through packet communication. The speech-dialog-related document file is output to a place where the file can be referred to by a speech dialog control section. The information sharing document file is output to an information management section. The information management section manages information in accordance with the general-purpose description language contents of the information sharing document file such that information can be shared between the window-related document file and the speech-dialog-related document file. Since information about windows and speech dialog is created by using a general-purpose description language in this system, the number of steps in development can be reduced.
