Abstract: An awning structure for a swing which has vertical members to support the awning structure overhead the swing. The awning structure comprises a pair of parallel elongated frame members adapted to be supported by the vertical members of the swing.      The awning structure also comprises two opposite cross-members to interconnect the parallel elongated frame members so to form the awning structure, and a flexible cover sheet with two opposite edges each securable to a corresponding cross-member.      At least one of the two cross-members is a hollowed extrusion which includes a longitudinal slit adapted to slidably received therein a corresponding edge of the flexible cover sheet, a screw-receiving element formed at opposite ends thereof, and a screw means for rotatably connecting each of the opposite ends of the extrusion to a corresponding elongated frame member whereby the rotation of the extrusion when one edge of the cover sheet is inserted in the slit causes the flexible cover sheet to wrap around the extrusion and to stretch out overhead the swing. The screw means is also for locking the extrusion when the flexible cover sheet is stretched out.

Inventor: RIGBY MICHAEL
IPC: G01N15/06
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: A particle detector for detecting particles flowing in a duct, comprising a first triboelectric probe (5) for detecting the particles and a second triboelectric probe (3) for detecting a signal generated by contaminants on the particle detector. The presence of signal-generating contaminants on the particle detector will result in an error signal on the first probe (5) and a signal on the second probe (3). Therefore the presence of a signal on the second probe (3) will indicate that the signal appearing on the first probe (5) includes an error signal. If the ratio of the magnitude of the signal generated on the second probe (3) to the magnitude of the signal generated on the first probe (5) exceeds a certain pre-defined limit then cleaning of the detector will be required.

Title: Record carrier and apparatus for scanning the record carrier
Inventor: VAN VLERKEN JOHANNES J L M
IPC: G11B7/24082
Filed: 2000-01-11
Abstract: A record carrier (1) is described comprising a servo track (4) indicating an information track (9) intended for recording information blocks represented by marks having lengths expressed in channel bits, which servo track (4) has a periodic variation of a physical parameter.  The periodic variation is modulated for encoding record carrier information, such as addresses. The modulation is a bi-phase modulation in which a data bit of the record carrier information is encoded by a first predetermined number of variations of a first phase followed by the same number of variations of a second phase inverse to the first phase. A  recording and/or playback device has a demodulator for retrieving data bits of the record carrier information from a first predetermined number of variations of a first phase followed by the same number of variations of a second phase inverse to the first phase.

Patent CA-2329157-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANGERS-LOUSTEAU ALEXANDRE
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: This invention relates to agents or compounds capable of interfering with the binding of protein tyrosine phosphatase PEST to protein domains of signalling molecules involved in cell migration, focal adhesion and/or cell proliferation, namely p130cas and paxillin. The agents can be derived from the minimal sequences found in binding studies. PTP-PEST is a conserved phosphatase essential for embryo development. Knock-out cells (PTP-PEST -/-) have been perpetuated from null embryos and they show defects in cell migration, focal adhesion and cell proliferation. Therefore, any agent capable of interfering with the activity of PEST in a diseased target tissue, is considered to be a potential therapeutic agent to treat any disease having any of the following etiological components: cell proliferation, cancer, metastasis, inflammation, and angiogenesis. This invention further relates to a method for finding genuine substrates for enzymes, namely phosphatases, combining gene targetting knock-out technique and substrate-trapping technique with the aid of a substrate binding inactive mutant enzyme. By using a gene targetting knock-out technique, there are less artefacts than by using other techniques (using vanadate compounds, for example) wherein an artificial non-specific increase of the level of hyperphosphorylation occurs.

Title: Secure check processing system and method
Inventor: GOLDENBERG DAVID MILTON
IPC: G06Q20/02
Filed: 1999-06-10
Abstract: An apparatus and a method for countering fraudulent check cashing schemes includes a central processing center that is connected to a plurality of banks through secure communication channels. Each check drawn against the banks has information stored therein, with that information corresponding to a plurality of digits/characters for the central processing center, a plurality of digits/characters for the bank for which the check is to be drawn against, and an account at the bank for which the check is to be drawn against. The central processing center only stores the digits/characters, and does not know any personal information regarding who/what actually owns the accounts. When a check is presented at a bank, the information on the check is sent through one of the secure communication channels to the central processing system, which determines whether or not the account has sufficient funds to allow the check to be drawn against the account. If the check can be drawn against the account, the central processing system provisionally debits the account, so that all future requests to draw against the account will be checked against the current balance of the account, even though the check has not cleared through the banking system as yet.
