Patent CA-2616404-A1 (CA)
Title: Nanoparticle probes for capture, sorting and placement of targets
Inventor: VU TANIA Q
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: A nanoparticle probe is attached to a substrate to capture targets. The tianoparticle probe includes a specific binding agent that specifically binds to a target biomolecule. The biomolecule can be associated with a cell, for example expressed on the cell's surface, such that the cell is bound to the probe immobilized on the substrate. The nanoparticle probes can be applied to the substrate in a layer, for example in the form of a spot, and multiple spots can be applied to the substrate to form patterns or arrays of the spots on the substrate. The nanoparticle probe presents a binding surface on which oriented specific binding agents (such as antibodies or nucleic acids) can be attached. In particular examples the nanoparticle is spaced slightly from the substrate, for example by a linker, to provide a probe with improved contact with a liquid in which target biomolecules or cells are suspended. The probes can be applied to the substrate in identifiable locations, either by applying the nanoparticle probes to the substrate at a predetermined address or using a nanoparticle probe that emits a signal to identify its location. Particular examples of such probes are semiconductor nanocrystals such as quantum dots, which emit fluorescence of a particular color. The nanoparticle probes can sort biomolecules or cells of different types or subtypes, and maintain them in a substantially fixed location on the substrate where they can be studied for prolonged periods of time.

Title: Autonomous fitness for service assessment
Inventor: PAPADIMITRIOU STYLIANOS
IPC: A61B5/117
Filed: 2008-05-22
Abstract: Autonomous fitness for continuing service assessment equipment interacts wit h the operator through natural speech, voice and sound and provides active failure prevention through automatic and/or continuous fitness for service assessmen t of a material under evaluation. The equipment comprises at least one computer and a material features acquisition system operable to detect a plurality of material features. The features are then evaluated according to rules that capture the multidiscipline knowledge of experts and are already inputted into the computer. The compute r iterations are processed until an acceptable conclusion is made regarding th e condition of the material under evaluation, thus alleviating the need for multidiscipline experts to examine and analyze all the material data manually, a very slow and expensiv e process. Further, the natural speech and voice interaction preferably allows the operator to operate the equipment while wearing gloves or with dirty hands as he/she wil l not need to constantly physically manipulate the equipment. The autonomous fitness fo r service assessment capability may also be retrofitted into conventional inspection systems by extracting pertinent features through spectral frequency analysis and sensor normalization and utilizing those features in the autonomous fitness for service assessment system.

Abstract: A basic required manipulated variable Mfbdmd_a is determined on the basis of a state amount error, which is the difference between a state amount of a motion of an actual vehicle 1 and a reference state amount, then a driving/braking force manipulation control input Fxfbdmd_n of a wheel is determined on the basis of the above basic required manipulated variable. At this time, a change in a driving/braking force operation control input Fxdmd_n of a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively, of a particular set is made to be proportional to a change in the basic required manipulated variable Mfbdmd_a, and the ratio (gain) of a change in Fxdmd_n with respect to a change in Mfbdmd_a is made to change on the basis of gain adjustment parameters, such as side slip angles .beta.f_act and .beta.r_act. This makes it possible to properly control a motion of the actual vehicle to a desired motion by properly manipulating a road surface reaction force acting on a front wheel of the vehicle and a road surface reaction force acting on a rear wheel.
