Patent CA-2348370-A1 (CA)
Title: Electronic coin checker
Inventor: TRENNER DIETMAR
IPC: G07F1/04
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: An electronic coin checker is proposed which has a coin entry channel, in the region of which a sensor arrangement is disposed, and has a flap-shaped coin switch and a control device. In dependence on the signals of the sensor arrangement, the control device controls the coin switch to accept a coin running through the coin entry channel into an acceptance shaft, or into a return channel to return the coin. The flap-shaped coin switch has a sloping extension inclined towards the runway of the return channel, on which the coin slides away in the return position of the switch, alters its inclination and falls onto the runway of the return channel. The boundary wall, ly- ing opposite the coin switch, of the return channel is configured inclined in the running direction, and thus a further alteration in inclination takes place.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de détecter des mutations du gène responsable de la galactosémie, la galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transférase (GALT). Dans un mode de réalisation, le procédé peut être utilisé pour détecter plus de 85 % des mutations connues pour être à l'origine de la galactosémie dans la population américaine au moyen de six sondes d'oligonucléotides diférentes, qui détectent des mutations faux-sens ou non-sens d'un seul nucléotide du gène GALT. Des conditions d'hybridation permettant de distinguer un mésappariement d'un seul nucléotide sont utilisées pour détecter la présence et la zygosité de mutations du gène GALT en vue de faciliter la consultation génétique. Une trousse utile pour détecter des mutations du gène GALT est également décrite.

Patent CA-2362771-A1 (CA)
Title: Genetic analysis
Inventor: WORKMAN NICHOLAS IAN
IPC: C12Q1/683
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A method is described for use in whole genome analysis. The method - termed inter-population perfectly matched duplex depletion - can overcome many of t he limitations of current approaches based upon SNPs and linkage disequilibrium  within isolated populations. Inter-population perfectly matched duplex depletion isolates a fragment (or fragments) containing differences between the "affected" and "unaffected" populations or cells. A convenient method - terminal restriction site profiling arrays (TRSPAs) - is described for the analysis of such fragments. A totally diagnostic internal control DNA is als o described which allows both the extent and exact nature of any partial digestion to be unambiguously determined for inter-population perfectly matched duplex depletion or TRSPA restriction.

Title: A system and method of communicating operating capabilities in a telecommunication network
Inventor: HOLLIS MARK ALAN
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-07-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method of communicating operating capabilities in a telecommunication network or networks. The present invention stems from the realisation that mobile telecommunication network resources can be utilised with greater efficiency by maintaining mobile station attributes or operating capabilities at a network node associated with the mobile station. Preferably, the network node is a Visitor Location Register (VLR). Additionally, the network node may be a Home Location Register (HLR), a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) or a Gateway Mobile Switching Centre (GMSC). In particular, the invention may provide the creation of a list of operating capabilities at a network node upstream from the mobile station.  Having done this, a comparison of this list with another list received from a remote telecommunication element to negotiate operating capabilities at a call set up is achieved without involving communication resources between the mobile station and the network node.
