Patent CA-2280677-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DELORME DAVID M
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1999-08-25
Abstract: An Integrated Routing/Mapping Information System (IRMIS) links desktop personal computer cartographic applications to one or more handheld organizer, personal digital assistant (PDA) or "palmtop" devices. Such devices may be optionally equipped with, or connected to, portable Global Positioning System (GPS) or equivalent position sensing device. Desktop application facilitates user selection of areas, starts, stops, destinations, maps and/or point and/or route information. It optionally includes supplemental online information, preferably for transfer to the PDA or equivalent device. Users' options include route information, area, and route maps. Maps and related route information are configured with differential detail and levels of magnitude. Used in the field, in conjunction with GPS receiver, the PDA device is configured to display directions, text and map formats, the user's current position, heading, speed, elevation, and so forth. Audible signals identifying the next turn along the user's planned route are also provided. The user can pan across maps and zoom between two or more map scales, levels of detail, or magnitudes. The IRMIS also provides for "automatic zooming," e.g., to show greater detail or closer detail as the user approaches a destination, or to larger scale and lower resolution to show the user's overall planned route between points of interest. The IRMIS also enables the user to mark or record specific locations and/or log actual travel routes, using GPS  position information. These annotated location marks and/or "breadcrumb" or GPS log data can be saved, uploaded, displayed, or otherwise processed on the user's desktop geographic information or cartographic system. The IRMIS application and data may be distributed online and/or in tangible media in limited and advanced manipulation formats.

Title: Methods of commercial production and extraction of protein from seed
Inventor: HOWARD JOHN A
IPC: C07K14/415
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: A method for extraction of heterologous protein from plant seed comprises extracting the germ portion of the seed and extracting and purifying the protein from the germ. Enhanced expression in the germ is provided, and allows for improved efficiency in production, and cost savings. Directing expression to the germ portion further increases expression levels of the protein. The ubiquitin promoter preferentially directs expression to the germ portion of plant seed.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing reabsorption of vapors and gases
Inventor: PALMER DAVID G
IPC: C02F1/04
Filed: 1998-06-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus which reduce reabsorption of carbon dioxide and substantially eliminate the reabsorption of organic vapors and include converting raw water into steam such as with a boiler (12) and condensing the steam into distillate such as with a condenser (14). The concentration or partial pressure of any gas or vapor in the steam is reduced. This may be accomplished by adding a diluting gas to the steam such as with a dilution device (24). The decrease in concentration or partial pressure of any gas or vapor in the steam reduces absorption of gas or vapor in the distillate.

Filed: 1998-08-31
Abstract: A fuel reservoir for storing a fuel, provided with a wall which divides the inner space of the reservoir into a fuel chamber and an air chamber and is variable in shape depending upon the amount of fuel in the fuel chamber, a discharge passage opened to a space formed above a fuel liquid surface in the fuel chamber, and a shut-off valve for normally shutting off the discharge passage. When the shut-off valve is opened, a gas is discharged from the space through the discharge passage. If the amount of the gas is greater than a predetermined amount, the shut-off valve is opened so as to discharge the gas out of the space. On the other hand, if the amount of the gas is less than the predetermined amount, the shut-off valve is closed to stop discharge of the gas.
