Title: Addressable system for light fixture modules
Inventor: KUCHAR JAMES EDWARD
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2002-03-22
Abstract: An addressable system for light fixtures is described wherein a plurality of light fixture modules is individually or collectively addressable for programming by remote control. The remote control may individually select each of the track control modules through visible and narrowly defined selected light: followed by transmission of programming commands for programming of pre-defined scenes, functions or other user defined and desired effects. Each of the track fixture modules may be selected or de- selected through the use of laser light and a plurality of track control modules may be collectively programmed through the use of a track repeater module, all of the modules communicatively connected to each other and selectable by a visible narrow light source such that the user may readily activate or de-activate programming sequences.

Title: A large animal model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in an immunocompromised host
Inventor: SADEGHI TARANEH K
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: A model of systemic mold/Aspergillus infection in a profoundly immunocompromised host has been established in the beagle dog. The beagle was rendered immunosuppressed using a combination of total body irradiation and daily steroids, which provided a window of time where the mold could be successfully inoculated through a bronchoscope. This created a localized infection in one lung lobe, which subsequently spread diffusely throughout the lung parenchyma, and uniformly resulted in the animal's death. The invention contemplates the further study of the pathophysiology of opportunistic mold infections in vivo and also provides examples for the development of new antifungal agents and more effective combinations of agents. Finally, the invention contemplates the development of technology for the early detection of systemic mold infections. The inventors envisions, that the use of the model should help save patients from clinical trials of antifungal drugs that may be effective in vitro without living up to the expectations in a clinical setting.

Patent CA-2388743-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SOLIMAN SAMIR S
IPC: G04G7/02
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the position of a wireless communication device using global positioning system (GPS) satellites, base stations synchronized to GPS time and base stations that are unsynchronized with GPS time. The unsynchronized base stations are synchronized with one another. Time of arrival information is adjusted to take into account the fact that wireless communication devices that received GPS time information from a base station receive that information biased by the one-way delay that is encountered by the signal that communicates that information to the wireless communication device. In addition, time difference of arrival information for base stations that are not synchronized to GPS time allows the bias between these base stations GPS time to be eliminated.

Title: Projector headlamp
Inventor: TANIUCHI HITOSHI
IPC: F21Y101/00
Filed: 2002-09-13
Abstract: A conventional projector headlamp has low efficiency because an amount of light is shaded almost half by a shutter for a low-beam light distribution. In addition, only a projection lens is seen in the installed condition, inviting old-fashioned designs disadvantageously. In a projector headlamp (1) of the invention, a vertical section passing through the center of a projection lens (5) includes a convex front surface and a flat rear surface (5a) . A line connecting the upper end to the lower end on the rear surface (5a) is tilted to the vertical. Thus, the projection lens (5) has a prismatic action for directing the entire light downward. This is effective to reduce an amount of light to be shaded by a shutter (4) and provide improved brightness and novel designed appearances.
