Patent CA-2325317-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LINDENBLATT BRUNO
IPC: B65G33/06
Filed: 2000-11-09
Abstract: Log indexing apparatus includes a frame and a series of laterally spaced spiral rolls that are inclined from front to back between the infeed and the outfeed, and are also inclined sideways. The spiral rolls are rotates synchronously and are arranged so that the gaps between the flights of the spirals define an upward moving log-receiving trough across the width of the device. The sideways inclination reduces the tendency of the logs to ride on the edges of the flights of the spirals.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to non-pathogenic, oncolytic, recombinant polioviruses for the treatment of various forms of malignant tumors. The recombinant polioviruses of the invention are those in which the internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) of the wild type poliovirus was exchanged with the IRES of other picornaviruses, and optionally P1, P3 or the 3'NTR thereof was exchanged with that of polivirus Sabin type. More particularly, the present invention is directed to the administration of the non-pathogenic, oncolytic, recombinant poliovirus to the tumor directly, intrathecally or intravenously to cause tumor necrosis. The method of the present invention is particularly useful for the treatment of malignant tumors in various organs, such as:  breast, colon, bronchial passage, epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal, upper respiratory and genito-urinary tracts, liver, prostate and the brain.  Astounding remissions in experimental animals have been demonstrated for the treatment of malignant glioblastoma multiforme, an almost universally fatal neoplasm of the central nervous system.

Abstract: A scooter-like bicycle having a simple labor-saving power transmission mechanism is provided. The mechanism comprises a clockwise gear, a crank, and two pedals each having one end coupled to main frame and the other end coupled to a bearing. The bicycle moves as rider pushes pedals in a reciprocating motion. Torque of the bicycle is a total length consisting of the length of crank and the length of most portions of pedal times a force exerted on pedals. Hence, it may lessen physical labor. Further, in use total weight of rider is exerted on pedals since rider is at a standing position. This can save the physical labor of legs. Furthermore, there is no restriction on the wearing of rider.
Patent CA-2355934-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ABEL-SANTOS ERNESTO V
IPC: C12N7/00
Filed: 1999-12-18
Abstract: Methods of producing cyclic peptides and splicing intermediates of peptides in a looped conformation are disclosed. The methods utilize the trans-splicing ability of split inteins to catalyze cyclization of peptides from a precurso r peptide having a target peptide interposed between two portions of a split intein. The interaction of the two portions of the split intein creates a catalytically-active intein and also forces the target peptide into a loop configuration that stabilizes the ester isomer of the amino acid at the junction between one of the intein portions and the target peptide. A heteroatom from the other intein portion then reacts with the ester to form a cyclic ester intermediate. The active intein catalyzes the formation of an aminosuccinimide that liberates a cyclized form of the target peptide, which  spontaneously rearranges to form the thermodynamically favored backbone cycl ic peptide product. Also disclosed are nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, methods for making cyclic peptides, methods of making libraries, and methods  of screening peptides.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de surveillance de l'activité métabolique de cellules dans des milieux liquides, un récipient approprié et un dispositif permettant la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé. L'objectif de l'invention est d'obtenir une précision de mesure plus élevée et de réduire les coûts nécessaires pour la surveillance de la consommation d'oxygène et donc de l'activité métabolique de cellules en culture. A cet effet, la concentration en oxygène est déterminée optiquement à l'aide de membranes de détection dans un milieu liquide qui est logé dans des récipients partiellement perméables à l'oxygène. Les concentrations en oxygène mesurées dans les récipients qui contiennent les cellules en culture dans un milieu liquide sont comparées avec une concentration en oxygène mesurée dans un récipient contenant seulement un tel milieu liquide, sans cellules, et/ou avec une concentration en oxygène calculée avec des valeurs de mesure d'autres paramètres.

Title: Processing for sonic waveforms
Inventor: HOLMQUIST SVEN G
IPC: G01V1/48
Filed: 2000-04-12
Abstract: A method (Fig. 1) for creating a frequency or time domain semblance for use in conjunction with acoustic logging tools (100, 130, 140, 145). The frequency domain semblance (Fig. 2F) may be obtained by transforming an acoustic signal (150) received at multiple depths into the frequency domain, combining the received waveforms corresponding to the different depths, and expressing the result in a graph with slowness and frequency axes. Another aspect of the invention is the treatment of two or more time domain semblances (Fig. 2B) as probability density functions of the slowness for an acoustic signal. This enables the combination of time domain semblances from the same depth in the wellbore. Once combined the time domain semblances more accurately depict the slowness of an acoustic wave through the formation at the selected depth. In addition, a related self-adaptation method to compress the waveform data downhole for storage or transmission is also disclosed.

Filed: 2001-03-05
Abstract: Prior to reproducing an optical disk (11), the peak of a focus error signal is detected, and a reference value of a focus error signal is set based on this value. When executing a layer jump, a kick signal with respect to an objective lens (13a) halts when a focus error signal exceeds a reference value. A brake signal is output when a focus error signal exceeds a reference value in a reversed polarity. A brake signal output time is set based on a kick signal output time. After the suspension of a brake signal, a focus servo (21) is turned on pending the peak of a focus error signal. Accordingly, a high-stability layer jump technique accommodating variations in error levels and changes in surrounding environments is provided.
