Patent CA-2327249-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BERG KRISTINA K
IPC: A61H5/00
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: A system for training the visual attention capabilities of a subject presents a series of sets of tests to the subject on a conventional touch screen monitor. Each test includes a central target, a peripheral target, and distractor elements around the peripheral target (60). The display time for the displays, and the eccentricity of the peripheral target are held constant within each set of tests. When the subject reaches a desired level of success (66) in identifying the central target, and in locating the peripheral target, eccentricity of the peripheral target is increased for the next set of tests. Once eccentricity reaches a maximum value, display time is decreased, and eccentricity is decreased for the next set of tests.

IPC: A47K3/20
Filed: 1999-08-10
Abstract: Disclosed is a combined bath tub(1)/shower tub (3) device, whereby the bath tub is placed on top of the shower tub (3) in position B = bathing position so that the runoff from the bath tub is placed on top of the runoff from the shower tub and the bath tub is placed horizontally, i.e. edgewise, on one side in position D= shower position, whereby the shower tub (3) is uncovered. A  force, preferably one generated by an electric motor (13), enables the bath tub to move easily from one position to the other by means of a tilting or lifting mechanism. By separating the bath tub from the shower tub in a coherent manner, the height of the edge of the shower tub remains as low as that of a separate shower tub and the height of the edge of the bath tub is increased only slightly. Both sections are user-friendly, especially for the elderly or disabled.

Title: Composition, methods and reagents for the synthesis of a soluble form of human phex
Inventor: BOILEAU GUY
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2000-02-24
Abstract: This invention relates to a soluble form of PHEX, PHEX being a type II integral membrane glycoprotein. This enzyme is the gene product of a phospha te- regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome. To produce a soluble form of PHEX, the transmembrane anchor domain has been modified to encode a signal peptidase coding sequence. The soluble PHEX therefore comprises the active ectodomain. An inactive mutant of PHEX is als o an object of this invention. Both soluble and inactive mutant forms of PHEX can be used to screen ligands to PHEX. These ligands can also be used as substrates or inhibitors of PHEX. PHEX being phosphaturic, an inhibitor thereof will be used to treat phosphaturia and/or hypophosphatemia. On the opposite, a substrate for PHEX or PHEX itself can be used to treat hyperphosphatemia.

Patent CA-2367621-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WOZNIAK TERRY
IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 2002-01-15
Abstract: A system and method are proposed for the printing of all possible colors, including all permutations of primary inks used to make processed colors, in equal increments and of a size easily measurable with a device that will convert the colors into standard color coordinates. These colors are categorized and used to determine the ability of the output device to reproduce a source color. Each color printed within the gamut of an output device is identified and correlated to independent color coordinates. The primary color recipe necessary to reproduce a reference color within the gamut of the output device is identified. The magnitude of deviation of out of gamut source colors is determined, and the closest in gamut colors are specified through methods of interpolation and nearest neighbor. Furthermore, the alteration in gamut size can be predicted based upon image manipulation processes associated with the workflow. Source colors can be correlated to the altered destination gamut in order to determine the recipe of in gamut colors.  An extension of this functionality teaches a method for determining the type, and the extent, of pre-process workflow alterations necessary to maintain or eliminate a source color from the color set of the output device. A set of source colors is correlated to a companion set of the output device in gamut colors, by dependent interpolated adjustment of the set with regard to hue, saturation, and lightness, rather than an absolute value nearest match.

Title: Acoustic telemetry system with drilling noise cancellation
Inventor: SHAH VIMAL V
IPC: E21B47/16
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: An acoustic telemetry system is disclosed that reduces any through-drillstring drilling noise which contaminates a through-drillstring telemetry signal.  Normal filtering operations are provided to remove noise outside the frequency band of interest, and reference signal filtering operations are provided to reduce the in-band noise, thereby enhancing the telemetry system's data rate and reliability. In one embodiment, the acoustic telemetry system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter induces an acoustic information signal that propagates along the tubing string. Existing noise in the tubing string contaminates the information signal. The receiver is provided with sensors for measuring the corrupted information signal and a reference signal that is indicative of the noise present in the measured information signal. The receiver uses a filter to convert the reference signal into an estimate of the information signal corruption, and a summing element to subtract the estimate from the reference signal to produce an information signal with reduced corruption. In a preferred embodiment, the information signal is propagated in an axial transmission mode, and the noise in the torsional mode is used as the reference signal for reducing noise the information signal picks up in the axial mode.
