Patent CA-2500477-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EICH TOM V
IPC: G08G5/04
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: A surveillance and collision avoidance system provides a presentation of situational awareness information for display that includes a compound symbol for each target spaced at a distance and bearing relative to a host symbol.  The target compound symbol includes indicia of: (a) whether the target is airborne or on the ground; (b) whether the target is a civil aircraft, a military aircraft identified as a formation member with the host aircraft, or a military aircraft not identified as a formation member with the host aircraft; (c) whether a ground track for the target is unknown, known by passive surveillance, or known by active surveillance; (d) for civil aircraft, whether the target is the subject of no advisory, a traffic advisory, or a resolution advisory; and (e) for a military aircraft, whether the target is the subject of no encroachment advisory, an unintended encroachment advisory, or an intended encroachment advisory. Subsystems selectively use an active or a passive mode of surveillance. In a passive mode, surveillance may rely on information received via a network among formation members and/or unsolicited received signals.

Title: Human endogenous foamy retrovirus and uses thereof
Inventor: GIULIVI ANTONIO
IPC: C12N7/01
Filed: 2005-03-18
Abstract: The invention relates to the discovery of an active human endogenous retrovirus (HERV), HERV-BZU, which appears to be the first instance of a true human foamy virus. HERV-BZU is infective, causes vacuolation in cultured human lymphocytes (under defined conditions), forms immature particles released to these vacuoles, and is closely related to HERV-K102/ K103 and other HERV-K Type I retroviruses. HERV-BZU seems to be transactivated by infection with bloodborne viruses. This suggests it may play a role in limiting viral invasion and replication and thus, may be a normal early host defense response to viremia. Plasma samples from healthy normal individuals do not contain HERV-BZU whereas individuals with virus-associated chronic diseases may have viral particles in their blood.

Title: Method for determining deviations of an end-system message from a reference message
Inventor: MICHL ANDREAS
IPC: H04Q7/34
Filed: 2004-02-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining deviations of a modular end-system message, generated in a hierarchically structured end-system of a telecommunications device, from a reference message. Once a reference message has been read, an end-system message that has been generated in the end system is read. A message-structure analysis is carried out both for the reference message and the end-system message. Any deviations of the end-system message from the reference message are determined from the message structure and the structural units (23, 24, 24.1<SB>END</SB>, 24.1.1<SB>END</SB>, 28) of the end-system message (17) that deviate from the reference message are output.

Title: High efficiency cyclone gasifying combustion burner to produce thermal energy and devices and method of operation
Inventor: DRISDELLE MARK
IPC: F23L1/00
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: A cyclone gasifying combustion burner and its operation is described. The burner has an inner cylindrical wall with a contour chamber feeding combustion air into the inner cylindrical wall. The burner has an open end and a solid fuel support end where a combustible material forms a fuel bed. The inner cylindrical wall has at least two series of inclined air jet holes of substantially predetermined diameter and disposed at substantially predetermined locations therein to create a unidirectional cyclone within a combustion zone defined within the inner cylindrical wall. The air jet holes are disposed at a tangential and vertical angle whereby the combustion air is drawn into the inner cylindrical wall and creates a cyclone flow to mix with the combustion gases released from the flaming pyrolysis fuel bed and causes the combustion gases to flow in a cyclone path within a reaction zone to increase at least one of the residency time, mixing and turbulence time of the combustion gases and simultaneously precipitate suspended particles against an inner surface of the inner cylindrical wall whereby the particles are caused to gravitate to the fuel bed where they are removed in a controlled manner during the operation of the burner. The cyclone combustion burner therefore substantially reduces the emission of pollutants to the atmosphere.
