Patent CA-2540780-A1 (CA)
Title: Header hydraulic float system
Inventor: BUNDE TRAVIS L
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 2006-03-22
Abstract: In an agricultural combine, a header float system using a floating header having a frame, a support member supporting the frame from the ground, and a suspension variably supporting the frame from the combine. The suspension comprises a sub-frame removable attaching to the combine, links movably attaching the frame and the sub-frame, and one or more float cylinders moveably supporting the frame from the sub-frame. A float circuit connects to the float cylinder, and a float valve connects the float circuit to a main hydraulic circuit. A pressure sensor connects to the float circuit, and a controller communicates with the float valve and the pressure sensor. The controller maintains pressure in the float circuit at a target value by continuously reading the pressure sensor and commanding the float valve to add or subtract hydraulic fluid in the float circuit until pressure equals the target value.
Patent CA-2541905-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RICK ROLAND
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2004-10-08
Abstract: This disclosure is directed to power estimation techniques for use by a subscriber unit of a frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system during the cell selection process. The power estimation techniques recognize that adjacent cells, i.e., adjacent in terms of frequency, often have slight overlap. Thus, the power from a signal associated with one cell can cause power to be detected in an adjacent cell, even if no signal is actually present in the adjacent cell. In accordance with this disclosure, techniques are described for identifying, reducing or eliminating the detection of false positives in such adjacent cells. By identifying, reducing or eliminating the detection of false positives, the cell selection process can be accelerated and additional processing of false positive signals in such adjacent cells can be avoided.

Abstract: Methods of therapy are provided for treating a subject for a solid tumor that comprises carcinoma cells expressing the CD40 cell-surface antigen. The methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antagonist anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to a subject in need thereof. The antagonist anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is free of significant agonist activity, but exhibits antagonist activity when the antibody binds a CD40 antigen on a human CD40-expressing cell. Binding of the anti-CD40 antibody or suitable antigen-binding fragment thereof beneficially inhibits growth of solid tumors via ADCC-dependent killing of the CD40-expressing carcinoma cells.

Title: Volumetric point spread function for eye diagnosis and treatment
Inventor: CAMPBELL CHARLES
IPC: A61B3/10
Filed: 2005-02-22
Abstract: Systems and methods analyze, diagnose, and/or treat a patient's eye using modified forms of the point spread function ("PSF") tailored to the vision system. Factors that alter perception of visual aberrations can be included and/or volumetric point spread functions calculated, often using point spread function calculations throughout a range of optical distances to more fully indicate the variation in visual perception of optics at different distances.  A variety of visual affects of the human optical system can be simulated, analyzed, and modeled, including: single versus multiple wavelength sources, chromatic aberrations, retinal resolution, wavelength-dependent visual response, Stiles-Crawford effects, and/or non-linearity of retinal response.  The perceived point spread function can offer objective confirmation of the patient's visual perception, allow a treating physician to see a closer approximation of what the patient sees, indicate the scale and significance of wavefront aberrations, and/or show which aberrations affect vision and which do not.

Title: Pump comprising a moving wall and use of a pump of this type
Inventor: MOSLER LUEDER
IPC: F04B45/02
Filed: 2005-06-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a pump comprising a wall, which forms an enclosed fluid volumetric space and which can be moved by a first force in a direction resulting in a decrease in volume and, after a preceding decrease in volumetric space, can be moved by a second force in a direction resulting in an increase in volume. The pump also comprises an inlet valve, which communicates with an inlet valve, and comprises an outlet valve in an outlet line of the fluid volumetric space.

Patent CA-2583610-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OZIN GEOFFREY ALAN
IPC: B01J37/34
Filed: 2005-09-22
Abstract: This invention relates to a chemical transformation of the bridging organic groups in metal oxide materials containing bridging organic groups, such as bridged organosilicas, wherein such a transformation greatly benefits properties for low dielectric constant (k) applications. A thermal treatment at specific temperatures is shown to cause a transformation of the organic groups from a bridging to a terminal configuration, which consumes polar hydroxyl groups. The transformation causes k to decrease, and the hydrophobicity to increase (through ~self-hydrophobization~). As a result of the bridge-terminal transformation, porous organosilica films are shown to have k < 2.0, E > 6 GPa, do not require additional chemical surface treatment for dehydroxylation (hydrophobicity).
