Patent CA-2451413-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMPSON MICHAEL
IPC: G01N29/22
Filed: 2003-11-28
Abstract: The invention relates to an acoustic biosensor comprising a super-nonwetting or a super-wetting surface. The surface is designed for attachment of one half of a biomolecular pair so that when the other half of a biomolecular pair interacts with the attached half, a detectable change in surface free energy of the biosensor occurs. Should an aqueous solution be used with the acoustic biosensor, the super-nonwetting or super-wetting properties are understood to be super-hydrophobic or super-hydrophilic properties, respectively. The invention advantageously allows enhanced sensitivity relative to conventional acoustic biosensors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for providing content services to mobile devices while ensuring user privacy. The method and system allows one or more content providers (14, 16) that provide the content services (18) to collect payment (26). A user makes a request for content from an affiliated content provider (14). The request travels from the wireless device (12) thru one or more wireless infrastructure devices (10) until it arrives as a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request over an Ethernet to a proxy server (22). The proxy server (22) then requests the source Internet Protocol (IP) address of the wireless device (12). The proxy server then sends the IP address to an identity agent and is given a user identifier (UID) to that IP address. The proxy server (22) then looks at the HTTP request to determine IP address for the content provider. A unique content provider-specific identifier (SUBNYM) is calculated as the UID and the service ID. The subnym is attached to the HTTP request by means of inserting an additional header to the request. The affiliated content provider uses the subnym to determine the identity of the user.

Inventor: KIPPS THOMAS J
IPC: C07K19/00

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric TNF.alpha., comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding a domain or subdomain of a tumor necrosis factor ligand other than TNF.alpha., wherein the encoded domain or subdomain replaces a cleavage site of native TNF.alpha., and a second nucleotide sequence encoding a domain or subdomain of native TNF.alpha. that binds to a TNF.alpha. receptor. The encoded chimeric TNF.alpha. is significantly less susceptible to cleavage from the cellular surface and, as a result can increase the concentration of a ligand capable of binding to a TNF.alpha. receptor on the surface of a cell.  The chimeric TNF.alpha. is therefore useful in methods for inducing apoptosis of a cell expressing a TNF.alpha. receptor, inducing activation of an immune system cell and treating neoplastic cells, by introducing into the cell of interest an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric TNF.alpha.  that is expressed on the surface of the cell.

Title: Apparatus and method for rangings and noise reduction of low coherence interferometry lci and optical coherence tomography (oct) signals by parallel detection of spectral bands
Inventor: DE BOER JOHANNES FITZGERALD
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: Apparatus, method, logic arrangement and storage medium are provided for increasing the sensitivity in the detection of optical coherence tomography and low coherence interferometry ("LCI") signals by detecting a parallel set of spectral bands, each band being a unique combination of optical frequencies. The LCI broad bandwidth source can be split into N spectral bands. The N spectral bands can be individually detected and processed to provide an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of N. Each spectral band may be detected by a separate photo detector and amplified. For each spectral band, the signal can be band pass filtered around the signal band by analog electronics and digitized, or, alternatively, the signal may be digitized and band pass filtered in software. As a consequence, the shot noise contribution to the signal is likely reduced by a factor equal to the number of spectral bands, while the signal amplitude can remain the same. The reduction of the shot noise increases the dynamic range and sensitivity of the system.

Title: Bi-axial rotating magnetic therapeutic device
Inventor: VINCENT ARDIZZONE
IPC: A61N2/00
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: A device for applying a time-varying magentic field to a human or animal body for therapeutic purposes comprising a magnetic body (72) housed in a free moving member (80), which is itself housed within the device. The device is powered by a small electric motor that drives the free moving member (80) and magnetic body (72) to rotate about an exis of first rotation. The magnetic body is further caused to rotate around an axis of second rotation through angular forces imparted on it either mechanically or magnetically. Mechanical angular force is imparted by a gear and tooth arrangement or other similar tactile interaction with a roller member (106). Magnetic angular force is imparted by stationary magnets (110) as the magnetic body (72) rotates past them. The two rotational movements of the magnetic body (72) are oblique to one another and produce both a time-varying field of magnetic flux density and a time varying field of angular flux displacement.

Filed: 2004-09-13
Abstract: This invention deals with an oxide/lubricant composite coating on lightweight materials (Al-, Mg and Ti-alloys) with multifunctionality in terms of high hardness, low friction, thermal barrier, and high corrosion resistance. The oxide coating matrix with certain porosity and roughness is synthesized by a plasma process in an electrolyte. The solid lubricant (graphite, MoS2) is incorporated into the oxide coating matrix said by rubbing the solid lubricant against the relatively porous and rough oxide coating surface during the coating growth. The composite coating finally consists of low frictional lubricant (graphite, MoS2) embedded in hard, low thermal conductive, and anti-corrosive oxide coating matrix. The present invention is particularly applicable for enhancement in wear and corrosion protections for lightweight metals and alloys used in said engine, transmission case, pulley, air condition compressor, and brake system.
