Abstract: La présente invention concerne des molécules qui se logent sélectivement dans des organes ou dans des tissus normaux, notamment les poumons, le pancréas, la peau, la rétine, la prostate, les ovaires, les ganglions lymphatiques, la glande surrénale, le foie, ou l'intestin. La présente invention concerne également des molécules qui se logent sélectivement dans des organes ou dans des tissus tumoraux, notamment le pancréas porteur d'une tumeur du pancréas, ou les poumons porteurs d'une tumeur des poumons. Cette invention concerne en outre des conjugués renfermant une molécule qui se loge dans un organe ou dans un tissu, cette molécule étant liée à un fragment, qui peut par exemple être un agent thérapeutique ou un agent détectable. Cette invention concerne par ailleurs une méthode d'identification d'une molécule fixée à l'enzyme MDP, cette molécule se logeant sélectivement dans l'endothélium des poumons. Cette méthode consiste tout d'abord à mettre la MDP en présence d'une ou plusieurs molécules, puis à déterminer la fixation spécifique d'une molécule à cette MDP, la présence d'une fixation spécifique permettant d'identifier cette molécule comme une molécule fixée à la MDP et se logeant sélectivement dans l'endothélium des poumons. Ces molécules fixées à la MDP et se logeant dans un organe ou dans un tissu peuvent être liées à un fragment, et une fois administrées à un sujet sous la forme d'un conjugué, peuvent diriger sélectivement ce fragment sur l'endothélium des poumons du sujet.

IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: A communications system (10) includes a plurality of communities (14, 16) each associated with a service provider. Text-based messaging sessions, such as chat sessions, may be established between users in the communities (14, 16). A request is received from a user in a first community (14), the request indicating a desired text- based messaging session with a user in a second community (16). The user in the second community (16) is notified of a request, and it is determined if the user has accepted the request to establish a text-based messaging session. If so, the text-based messaging session is established between users in the first and second communities (14, 16). If the user is not available, predetermined information stored in a server (30) may be accessed to determine a plurality of devices that may be employed for communicating with the user. A message is sent to at least a selected one of the plurality of devices.

Patent CA-2334856-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for a sensitivity enhancing balance bar
Inventor: STACK CHARLES PAUL
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: A single tube Coriolis flowmeter having a balance bar that enhances the flowmeter sensitivity to material flow. The balance bar's design lowers its second bending mode response to have a frequency that may be lower than the flow tube resonant drive frequency. The lowering of the second bending mode frequency of the balance bar enables the Coriolis response of the vibrating flow tube with material flow to extend force from the flow tube through a brace bar to the balance bar. These Coriolis forces induce Coriolis-like response vibrations in the balance bar because of the lowered second bending mode frequency of the balance bar. The Coriolis response of the flowmeter is enhanced since the Coriolis-like response of the balance bar is out of phase with and is additive to the Coriolis deflection of the flow tube.

Title: Automatic program restructuring to reduce average cache miss penalty
Inventor: BLAINEY ROBERT J
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2001-11-19
Abstract: A method, a computer or computer program product for automatically restructuring a program having arrays in inner loops to reduce an average penalty incurred for bursty cache miss patterns by spreading out the cache misses. The method may be used separately or in conjunction with methods for reducing the number of cache misses. The method determines a padding required for each array according to a proportion of the cache line size, to offset the starting points of the arrays relative to the start of a cache line memory access address for each array. Preferably, the starting points of the arrays that induce bursty cache misses are padded so that they are uniformly spaced from one another.
Patent CA-2364359-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SOONG ANTHONY C K
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: The invention is a CDMA spectral shaping technology (116) that attenuates the out-of-band signal power in the CDMA signal. The in-band CDMA signal is attenuated near the corner frequencies to reduce components that provide a disproportionate contribution to the out-of-band signal power. The power amplifier (625) in the CDMA base station (512) can then operate at higher power levels without exceeding out-of-band signal power limitations. As a result, the power amplifier (625) operates more efficiently and extends the range or capacity of the base station. In some examples of the invention, spectral shaping digital filters (516) are placed between the cell site modem (621) and the digital-to-analog converter (623) in the base station. In other examples of the invention, spectral shaping analog filters (516) are placed between the digital-to-analog converter (722) and the low-pass filter (623) in the base station.
