Title: Enzyme-catalyzed metal deposition for the enhanced in situ detection of immunohistochemical epitopes and nucleic acid sequences
Inventor: KOSMEDER JEROME W
IPC: C07C69/017
Filed: 2004-06-24
Abstract: The invention is directed to novel compositions of matter and methods of detecting in situ an immunohistochemical epitope or nucleic acid sequence of interest in a biological sample comprising binding an enzyme-labeled conjugate molecule to the epitope or sequence of interest in the presence of a redox-inactive reductive species and a soluble metal ion, thereby facilitating the reduction of the metal ion to a metal atom at or about the point where the enzyme is anchored.

Inventor: LIU XINPING
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2004-05-31
Abstract: A method of extracting a tomographic image of a layer within a body by optical coherence tomography, involves capturing three images, namely a non-interference background image, a first interference-fringe image of said layer, and a second interference-fringe image phase-shifted relative to the first interference-fringe image. The tomographic image is obtained by mathematically combining the three captured images. In a preferred embodiment random noise is removed by averaging and inter-layer effects are removed by applying a compensation function. This system is then used to extract the 2D  cross-sectional images encoded in a multiple-layer information carrier.

Inventor: BELZILE LUC
IPC: A01B59/042
Filed: 2006-09-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system that allows the mounting of relatively heavy implements in front or rear of a wheeled vehicle without adding significant stress on the said vehicle suspension and or chassis. One of the most interesting features of this system is the proportional weight transfer from the implement being lifted to the vehicle wheels. The system allows for free travel of the suspension with the implement on the ground or in the air, the suspension is free to move independently (on vehicle with independent suspension) therefore the traction is improved and the drivers comfort is uncompromised.

Title: Pattern recognition method for diagnosis of systemic autoimmune diseases
Inventor: BINDER STEVEN R
IPC: G16B40/10
Filed: 2005-04-20
Abstract: An array of autoantibodies is quantitated in a patient sample and analyzed toward a diagnosis of systemic autoimmune diseases. The analysis uses any of various known pattern recognition techniques, for example k-nearest neighbor analysis, to compare the array of quantitation data to sets of data previously obtained from subjects having known systemic autoimmune diseases, thereby determining the particular disease(s) that the patient is suffering from as well as the degree of confidence or likelihood of accuracy of the determination. The method is effective in identifying a single disease and also in identifying two or more diseases simultaneously present. The method is readily susceptible to automated data processing, eliminating much of the human judgment and error that were previously entailed in diagnosing these diseases.

Title: Munition encartouchee, notamment de calibre moyen
Inventor: HAESELICH DETLEF
IPC: F42B39/20
Filed: 2005-04-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne une munition encartouchée, notamment une munition d'exercice, qui présente une douille de cartouche (3) et un projectile (2) inséré dedans. Il est prévu, dans la douille de cartouche, une chambre de charge propulsive (4) qui loge une charge propulsive (5) pouvant être mise à feu par un dispositif de mise à feu pyrotechnique (13) et dégageant des gaz propulseurs qui agissent sur le fond (8) du projectile et l'expulsent de la douille de cartouche. L'invention vise à éviter, qu'en présence de températures ambiantes élevées, notamment en cas d'incendie, le dispositif de mise à feu pyrotechnique (13) et par conséquent également la charge propulsive (5) ne s'enflamment et que la douille de cartouche et le projectile ne se séparent par craquelage et ne soient projetés. A cet effet, il est prévu, selon l'invention, entre la chambre de charge propulsive et l'extérieur de la douille de cartouche (3), des canaux de détente (14), qui sont remplis d'un matériau fusible, notamment un métal fusible (15). Le métal liquide présente un point de fusion inférieur à la température d'inflammation du dispositif de mise à feu (13). Si la température ambiante de la douille de cartouche dépasse la température de fusion du matériau fusible, ce dernier fond et libère les canaux de détente (14), de sorte que lors d'une mise à feu ultérieure de la charge propulsive, cette dernière se consume sans montée en pression et que la douille de cartouche et le projectile demeurent solidaires l'un de l'autre.
