Patent CA-2337245-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PETROGIANNIS TOMMY
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système informatisé assurant l'homologation électronique de documents en parallèle. Un document électronique est émis pour homologation par un utilisateur à un moment donné et à un certain emplacement. D'autres utilisateurs, pouvant ensuite y avoir accès, peuvent alors homologuer électroniquement les documents simultanément ou en série. Le système avertit les utilisateurs de certaines modifications non autorisées qui peuvent avoir été faites sur le document lors d'homologations ultérieures. Un code d'authentification de document (DAC 0) est généré, lié au document original. Les homologations ultérieures des documents génèrent un DAC x par rapport à cette homologation spécifique ainsi que des informations sur les homologations telles que signatures manuscrites d'individus et toute autre information d'identification (nom, date et heure de la signature, biométrie, voix, empreinte, photo, etc...) qui peuvent être requises pour le processus d'homologation. Si le DAC généré pour chaque homologation ultérieure correspond au DAC 0, l'homologation est validée, éventuellement codée et stockée dans un paquet de données d'homologation (ADP) avec les informations sur les homologations. Une mise en correspondance des DAC confirme que les utilisateurs travaillent à partir du même document et que les données n'ont pas été modifiées dans l'intérim (c.-à-d. que tous les utilisateurs homologuent le même document). Si les DAC ne correspondent pas, une action correctrice peut être nécessaire. Les données stockées dans les EADP peuvent être introduites dans le document d'origine.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for signal processing to identify an object in an environment. A precursor associated with an electromagnetic wave interacting with the object is received and a property of the object identified using precursor characteristics. The electromagnetic wave is transmitted with a characteristic including a pulse having a sharp rise; time so as to generate the precursor. The pulse is generated using a circuit including capacitive discharge and a semiconductor device such as a Drift Step Recovery Diode. Alternatively the pulse may be generated using a microwave diode switch and a broadband semiconductor amplifier or a traveling wave tube amplifier. The characteristic may also includes a signal with a phase reversal generated by dividing the electromagnetic signal and phase modulating the first electromagnetic signal with the divided signal to generate the phase reversal so as to generate the precursor. A receiver may further establish channels corresponding to the possible precursor spectra and associate each channel with a corresponding possible material property associated with the object including water generated precursor spectra, radar absorptive material generated precursor spectra, and metallic oxides generated precursor spectra. A color display may include an image of the object with possible material properties displayed in a corresponding color in proportion to respective values associated with received precursor spectra.

IPC: H04R1/02
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: Herein disclosed is an ultrasonic probe comprising a housing, a driven shaft rotatably supported by the housing, a transducer supported by the driven shaft to be swingable on one side of the driven shaft and operative to transduce an electric signal to and from an ultrasound, a drive shaft rotatably supported by the housing spaced apart from and in parallel relationship with the driven shaft in the predetermined direction; a drive motor supported on the housing and drivably connected to the drive shaft; and a drive belt passed on the driven shaft and the drive shaft to transmit the rotation from the drive motor to the transducer. The transducer has the ultrasound emitted therefrom and reflected thereto through the housing in a predetermined direction. The ultrasonic probe thus constructed makes it possible to reduce the rotation radius of the transducer independently of the size of the electric motor by spacing the rotation axes of the drive motor and the transducer in order to provide an ultrasonic probe smaller in size. The rotation of the drive motor transferred into the rotational motion of the transducer without causing a backlash prevents the accuracy of the ultrasonic probe from deteriorating.

Title: Methode de selection de variantes de recombinase a specificite modifiee
Inventor: RUFER ANDREAS WALTER
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 2000-04-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne des variantes de recombinase Cre augmentant la spécificité du site de recombinaison. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne des variantes servant de médiation dans la recombinaison entre des séquences autres que la séquence loxP et autres séquences du site lox sur lesquelles la recombinase Cre de type sauvage est active. En général, les variantes Cre de l'invention servent de médiation dans la recombinaison efficace entre les sites lox sur lesquels peut agir la Cre de type sauvage (désignés sous le nom de sites lox de type sauvage), entre des sites lox variants n'étant pas utilisés de manière efficace par la Cre de type sauvage (désignés sous le nom de sites lox variants), et entre un site lox sauvage et un site lox variant. L'invention concerne également des méthodes de recombinaison d'acides nucléiques à l'aide des variantes Cre de l'invention. Par exemple, ces variantes Cre peuvent être utilisées dans toute méthode ou technique dans lesquelles peut être utilisée la recombinase Cre (ou d'autres recombinases semblables telles que la FLP). De plus, les variantes Cre permettent d'effectuer des recombinaisons diverses. En effet, les variantes Cre permettent une recombinaison beaucoup plus efficace entre les sites lox de type sauvage et les sites lox variants. La commande d'une recombinaison de ce type permet de réaliser des recombinaisons séquentielles plus sophistiquées et d'obtenir des résultats impossibles à atteindre avec la recombinase Cre de type sauvage.
