Title: Protein production
Inventor: MCCAUSLAND LINDA JANE
IPC: A61K41/00
Filed: 2003-08-14
Abstract: Proteins may be made by genetically engineered microorganisms, the protein being stored in the form of inclusion bodies (IB). The proteins in the inclusion bodies are in an insoluble and inactive form. They may be dissolved using a solubilisation reagent (18), and the resulting solution diluted so that the proteins refold into the active form. This refolding of the protein is enhanced by subjecting a solution or suspension of the protein to low intensity sound waves (25), at a low enough intensity that the protein is not denatured. The intensity may be between 10 and 100 mW/cm2.

Title: Control system for gas-turbine engine
Inventor: SUGITANI YUKINOBU
IPC: F02C9/46
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: In the gas-turbine engine control system having first and second control channels each inputting the outputs of speed sensors and controlling supply of fuel to the engine based on the inputted outputs, four outputs generated by the sensors are compared with each other to determine whether three of the four outputs are within a range that allows the three to be considered identical, and the three are then compared with a remaining one to determine whether the four outputs are within the range that allows the three to be considered identical to the remaining one, and based thereon, each of the four outputs is determined to be the output that is usable in the fuel supply control. With this, through the three-value comparison and the four-value comparison, when the high-pressure turbine speed sensor or the like is installed by plural numbers, it becomes possible to accurately select the sensor output(s) that is usable in the fuel supply control, thereby improving the control accuracy.
Patent CA-2504692-A1 (CA)
Title: Wireless device battery conservation method and system
Inventor: HOSSAIN ASIF
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2003-03-06
Abstract: Generally, the present invention provides a method for detecting poor RF  conditions, and entering different sleep mode levels or phases in accordance with the RF conditions to save battery power. Mobile device battery life can be conserved when the mobile device detects poor RF conditions and enters a deep sleep mode of operation. In this deep sleep mode of operation the mobile device periodically samples the RF conditions and gradually increases the period between samples when the RF conditions do not improve. Because mobility can change the RF condition for wireless devices even in areas of good RF  coverage, the mobile device operating in the deep sleep mode can detect this mobility and thus enhance the probability of entering an idle state, or alternatively, entering a longer power save mode. When the RF condition improves, the mobile device exits from the deep sleep mode and returns to the idle state.

Title: Method and apparatus for dynamic power management in a processor system
Inventor: DE CESARE JOSH
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2004-04-21
Abstract: A dynamic power management system includes an operating system (OS) that causes a processor to operate in one of multiple run states that have different performance and/or power dissipation levels. The OS selects the run state in response to processor information (e.g., processor load) being monitored by the OS. The OS can predict future states of the processor information based on sampled processor information. The OS can take an average of the predicted and actual samples for comparison with a threshold to select a run state. The OS can track the number of consecutive saturated samples that occur during a selected window of samples. The OS can predict future processor information samples based on the number of consecutive saturated samples.

Title: Clamping device for telescoping tubes
Inventor: ROISER THOMAS
IPC: A63C11/22
Filed: 2004-10-21
Abstract: In order to fix the position of telescoping tubes of staffs or poles used in sports, especially ski poles, there is a clamping device (1) within the tubes (3,5). The clamping device (1) has a clamping part (21) and expansion bodies (17,19) which are assigned to the two ends of the clamping part (21). The expansion bodies (17,19) are screwed onto a threaded rod (11) with opposing threaded sections (13,15). By relative turning of the tubes (3,5) toward one another the expansion bodies (17,19) penetrate into the clamping part (21) from the two ends when the direction of rotation is selected accordingly and essentially uniformly widen it radially over its entire length so that it adjoins the inner surface of the outer tube (5) with a frictional connection and thus fixes the length of the pole once it has been set. In this way the tubes (3,5) can be fixed to one another in the desired relative position to one another with lower expenditure of force than in the past.
