Title: Use of neuregulins as modulators of cellular communication
Inventor: GWYNNE DAVID I
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 1995-11-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of affecting cellular communication in a vertebrate. The communication is affected by the administration of a neuregulin to a vertebrate, where the neuregulin interacts with a first cell type which results in the production of a product (i.e., Product A). This product, in turn, affects the function of a second cell type. Methods are disclosed in which the affect in function of the second cell type, results in the production of a second product (i.e., Product B) which, in turn, can affect the function of the first cell type or a third cell type. Additional methods are included for treatment of disorders involving an altered or inadequate level of production of a product involved in cellular communication.

Après un temps de réaction approprié, suivi, si on le souhaite, d'une autre opération d'épuration à l'air par une conduite d'alimentation en air, les produits de la réaction sont envoyés, par une canalisation, à une cellule de mesure d'ionométrie dans laquelle l'analyse des chlorures est effectuée au moyen d'une électrode spécifique, sélective pour les ions.
Patent CA-2214046-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEVI YOSEF
IPC: B60R25/00
Filed: 1997-08-27
Abstract: A  vehicle  anti-theft universal hoodlock  device  for cable-release  hoodlocks,  provided as a self-contained unit  for installation  in existing cable-release hoodlock mechanisms.  The original cable is placed in the unit such that an exposed portion thereof  is connected to a spring-loaded clamp which slides in  a mounting  frame.  A  movable pin provides interference  with the sliding motion of the clamp and the pin position is controlled by a solenoid.  Thus, when energized, the solenoid positions the pin to  block the sliding motion of the clamp,  locking the cable  in position.  The locked cable is then unable to release the  locked hood latch. The solenoid may be energized in response to an alarm system  signal provided when a threatened intrusion is  detected.          The inventive hoodlock device does not require additional cables, simplifying  its installation.  The spring-loaded clamp finds its resting position automatically,  in self-adjusting  fashion.  The device  provides  a universal design,  useful with each of  three locking  methods,  by locking the original cable,  or  locking  a second cable attached to either the hood latch or original cable.

Abstract: A bicycle stand comprising a swivelling axis in the transverse direction of the bicycle tyre, around which axis the bicycle tyre (9) pivots when it is placed in the bicycle stand (1). When pivoting around the swivelling axis, the bicycle tyre (9) has an effect on means that are arranged to render the catch (7) into a locking position when the bicycle tyre (9) is in the bicycle stand (1). The catch (7) opens only when the bicycle tyre (9) is pivoted around the swivelling axis. By locking the bicycle tyre (9) with a bicycle lock, the pivoting of the tyre (9) around the swivelling axis is prevented, whereby the catch (7) will stay in the locking position.

Title: Method and apparatus for improved call control scheduling in a distributed system with dissimilar call processors
Inventor: BHAT KABEKODE VENKATA SUBRAMAN
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 1998-02-03
Abstract: Prior scheduling and assignment methods stress equal utilization of each of the processors in a system. These methods tacitly assume that each of the processors of each of these systems are equal in capabilities, an assumption that neglects the fact that as newer processors are added to a system to increase capabilities, the newer processors often are faster and have greater throughput than the system's existing processors. On such a system that has diverse processors, a equal utilization scheduling and assignment method protects the slower processors from overload while under utilizing the increased capabilities of the system's newer processors. Systems with diverse processors can utilize the increased capabilities of the faster processors by a method of calculating and assigning a request for service to the fastest processor that is able to respond.

Filed: 1997-02-03
Abstract: Plastic safety stopper from whose head (K) with outflow opening (H) are stemming out arms (E1 and E2) connected with a presser (O) which is also connected to slide cover (F) with a membrane (M) in such a way that when turning along the membrane (M) comes to fit to guide (D1 and D2) covering the outflow opening (H) of the head of the stopper. Once pressure is exercised upon the presser (O) the slide cover (F) slides along through guides (D1 and D2) up to the point where projection (S1) becomes adjacent to the head of the stopper whilst groove (A) simultaneously comes over opening (H) of the stopper, allowing the contents of the container to outflow. When pressure upon the presser (O) ceases, the slide cover (F) is brought back to its original position which causes the opening (H) of the head of the stopper to seal. The head of the stopper (K) with the operation mechanism (E1, E2, O) is a single inseparable compact unit.

Title: Rate monitoring of connections in a communications network using history buffer
Inventor: LEE DENNY L S
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 1998-05-28
Abstract: There is provided a method and device for measuring a rate of message element traffic over a message path in a communications network. The path includes at least one connection and is associated with a maximum rate of transmission. The path is periodically polled for transmission of a message element, the polling being performed at a polling rate associated with polling intervals which are at least as frequent as the maximum rate of transmission. If transmission of a message element is detected during a polling interval, a running count of such detection is incremented, the running count of detection being associated with the connection over which the message element was detected. If transmission of a message element is not detected, a running count of such non-detection is incremented, the running count of non-detection being associated with inactivity of the message path.  During each polling interval, an oldest stored value is retrieved from a memory which includes a preselected number of stored values that correspond to an equal number of most recent sequential events of detection and non-detection. Each stored value which represents an event of detection corresponds to an identifier denoting the connection over which the message element was detected. Each stored value which represents an event of non-detection corresponds to an identifier denoting inactivity of the message path.  Following retrieval during each polling interval, the running count of detection associated with the connection corresponding to the identifier of the retrieved value is decremented if the retrieved value represents an event of detection. The running count of non-detection is decremented if the retrieved value represents inactivity. The retrieved value is thereafter replaced with a value corresponding to an identifier which denotes the connection over which the message element was detected if transmission was detected. Otherwise the retrieved value is replaced in the memory with a value corresponding to an identifier which denotes inactivity if transmission was not detected. The foregoing steps are repeated for so long as the measurement is undertaken. The rate of message element traffic over a connection of the message path is proportional to the running count of detection associated with the connection.
