Title: Thymidylate synthase polymorphism for predicting chemotherapeutic response
Inventor: XIONG YI PING
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of genomic polymorphism to provide individualized therapeutic regimens to treat patients suffering from disease s such as cancer. The invention discloses methods for determining the efficacy  or choice of chemotherapeutic drugs and regimens for use in treating a diseased patient by associating genomic polymorphism with the effectiveness of the drugs or regimens, or by associating genomic polymorphism with the intratumoral expression of a gene whereby the gene expression affects effectiveness of the drugs or regimens. In particular, the present invention  provides novel methods for screening therapeutic regimens, which comprise determining a patient's genotype at a tandemly repeated 28 base pair region in the thymidilate synthase (TS) gene's 5' untranslated region (UTR). Patients homozygous for a triple repeat will least successfully treated with a thymidylate synthase directed drug, while those heterozygous for a triple an d a double repeat will be more successfully treated, and those homozygous for a double repeat will be even more successfully treated. Those patients homozygous for the double repeat will likely suffer the least side effects from thymidylate synthase directed drugs such as 5-FU.

Title: Method and apparatus for limiting truck speed as a function of braking
Inventor: BALDINI AUGUSTUS R
IPC: B60T13/66
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: A method for monitoring the temperature of a friction brake to prevent overheating of the brake is disclosed. The vehicle speed and brake activation time are monitored for braking event conditions known to add heat to the brake or brakes, and the frequency or rate of occurrence of these conditions is monitored.

Title: System and method for estimating seismic material properties
Inventor: MUIJS REMCO
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2001-01-19
Abstract: A method for estimating near-surface material properties in the vicinity of a locally dense group of seismic receivers is disclosed. The method includes receiving seismic data that has been measured by a locally dense group of seismic receivers. Local derivatives of the wavefield are estimated such that the derivatives are centered at a single location preferably using the Lax-Wendroff correction. Physical relationships between the estimated derivatives including the free surface condition and wave equations are used to estimate near--surface material properties in the vicinity of the receiver group.  Another embodiment of the invention is disclosed wherein the physical relationships used to estimate material properties are derived from the physics of plane waves arriving at the receiver group, and the group of receivers does not include any buried receivers.

Title: Method and apparatus for forming food clusters
Inventor: KELLY JOSEPH WILLIAM
IPC: B02C18/18
Filed: 2001-01-24
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for the formation of food clusters by using a fingerwheel (225) to break a bed of food product into clusters of medium size. After the food product, such as popcorn, and the coating that is placed on the product is mixed together (120), a bed of the mixture is formed.  The bed is then forced through stationary fingers (305) by the fingerwheel (225) at an optimum temperature for forming the clusters, thus breaking the bed into individual clusters. The average size of the clusters is determined by the spacing between the fingers on the fingerwheel (225) and the stationary fingers (305) when they are meshed together. Once the clusters are broken up, the clusters are sent to a sifter/cooler (130) where the clusters are cooled and sifted before being combined together to package.

IPC: B29C48/12
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne une fermeture par contact segmentée du type à boucles et crochets, qui peut épouser les contours d'un article moulé. Chaque segment peut être entouré par une barrière de joint, ou couvert par une autre sorte de couverture ou laissé dénudé. L'élément de fermeture est composé de plusieurs segments d'attache. Plusieurs éléments de fermeture sont disposés sur le côté de fixation d'un élément de support à crochets ou à boucles. Un col souple plus étroit qu'un segment d'attache est situé entre et assemble chaque paire adjacente de segments d'attache. La zone du col souple est généralement souple autour deux ou trois axes orthogonaux. Chaque segment peut présenter une barrière utilisable pendant une opération destinée à incorporer la fermeture dans un article moulé. Cette barrière sert à empêcher toute matière liquide moussante d'entrer en contact avec les éléments de fermeture lorsque la fermeture est placée dans le moule et les éléments de fermeture sont pressés contre la paroi du moule. La couverture peut être de nature à envelopper ou à remplir l'espace. On décrit également plusieurs types différents d'appareils et de procédés de fabrication d'une telle fermeture. Plusieurs plaques de moule incluent une zone de formation de fermeture présentant des bords arqués similaires. La zone de formation de fermeture comprend en outre des cavités du moule pour éléments de fermeture qui s'entrecroisent avec ces bords et avec un côté de la plaque de moule. Les cavités du moule sont arrangées en plusieurs zones de formation de segments. Une cavité du moule de joints ciconscrit chaque zone de formation de segments; et une zone de formation de charnières se trouve entre chaque paire adjacente de zones de formation de segments. Les plaques de moule sont arrangées de manière à former un tambour de moulage cylindrique présentant une surface circulaire formée par les bords arqués des plaques de moule, si bien que les zones de formation de segments sont espacées de manière circonférencielle autour de la surface cylindrique. L'appareil comprend en outre une extrudeuse munie d'une matrice dont la surface jouxte la surface cylindrique.

Title: Hitch locating device
Inventor: JULICHER JACK
IPC: B60D1/36
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: The hitch-locating device has a telescopic stem to which a pedestal is attached at one end and a light is attached at the opposite end. Two such devices are used in conjunction with a hitching assembly having a hitch-cap at the front end of a trailer and a ball connected to a tongue which extends to the rear of a towing vehicle. A magnet is located in each pedestal for removably attaching one hitch-locating device to or adjacent to the ball and the other to or adjacent to the hitch-cap. In use, the devices are placed on or adjacent to the hitch-cap and the ball and the vehicle is backed toward the trailer. The driver of the vehicle watches the two hitch-locating devices in his rear view mirror and he steers the vehicle in order to bring the two devices into alignment. When the vehicle reaches the trailer, one of the devices will be knocked over, either by the tongue at the rear of the vehicle or by the front end of the trailer.  When the driver observes this, he will know that the hitch-cap and the ball are in position to be interconnected.

Patent CA-2421900-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IWANO KAZUHIRO
IPC: F16J3/04
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: A boot for a universal joint is constructed by a boot body and a boot adapter. The one end of the boot is fitted on a propeller inner shaft via its one-end fitting portion and the other end of the boot is fitted on the outer race of the universal joint via its other-end fitting portion, thereby substantially covering the universal joint. The foregoing one-end fitting portion has an annular lip portion at its end portion. Passages for flowing air between the inside of the boot and the outside of the. boot are formed on the one-end fitting portion and the annular lip portion. The passages are closed by the annular lip portion being expanded in diameter outward by a centrifugal force caused by the high rotation of the propeller inner shaft, thereby preventing splashed water or muddy water from intruding into the boot when air is sucked into the boot.
