Patent CA-2501074-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOMA AUGUSTIN
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 2004-09-15
Abstract: An electrically operated door opener, with a swivelable swing trap for blocking or releasing of a door side switch trap, with a movable control lever, and a change-over, has been described, which can move into a position that blocks the swing trap and into a position that releases the swing trap, and is so arranged with the control lever, that the change-over into the blocking position can be locked by means of the control lever. Furthermore, there is a position indicator for moving the control lever for releasing or locking the change-over. The position indicator has an electromotor, on the motor axis of which an eccentric cam is mounted. The electromotor is mounted with a contro l lever, so as to hit the centrifugal cam against the control lever on activation of the electromotor due to the rotation of the motor axis, causing the control lever thereby to move.

Patent CA-2503597-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for unique address assignment, node self-identification and topology mapping for a directed acyclic graph
Inventor: OPRESCU FLORIN
IPC: G06F13/36
Filed: 1993-12-16
Abstract: A node identification system is described for use in a computer system in which the various components of the system are interconnected via nodes on a communications bus. Once the topology of the nodes has been resolved into an acyclic directed graph, each node may be assigned a non-predetermined unique address. Each node having a plurality of ports has an a priori assigned priority for port selection. Each child node connected to a parent is allowed to respond in the predetermined sequence depending upon the port through which it is connected to its parent.      Each node in the graph will announce its presence according to its location in the graph. Each receives an address incremented from the previous addresses assigned, thereby insuring uniqueness. The same mechanism may be implemented to allow each node in turn to broadcast information on the bus concerning the parameters of its local host. Likewise, additional information may be conveyed from each node concerning connections to other nodes thereby allowing a host system to generate a map of the resolved topology including any information about disabled links which may be used for redundancy purposes.

Title: Scoring estrogen and progesterone receptors expression based on image analysis
Inventor: DUCKSBURY PAUL GERARD
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2003-12-16
Abstract: A method of scoring Oestrogen and Progesterone Receptors expression (ER and PR) from histological images determines the percentage of brown image blob area in total blob area and derives percentage thresholds to quantify scoring. Brown blob area proportion is then compared with the thresholds to provide a first contribution to scoring of ER or PR. The number of relatively dark pixels is then counted, pixel number thresholds are determined to quantify scoring, and the number of relatively dark pixels is compared with the thresholds to provide a second contribution to scoring of ER or PR. The two contributions are then added to provide an overall scoring in the range 0 to 8 which may be taken as a final score or it may be scaled to a conventional range 0 to 3.

Patent CA-2524912-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DONG JIAN-YUN
IPC: C12N/
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for high level, regulated transgene transcription that is restricted to cell populations of specific types. The process is designed to work with any inducible expression regulation systems, adapting them to a tissue-specific expression pattern while simultaneously delivering maximal achievable expression levels. In particular, the invention utilizes hybrid promoters that contain the DNA elements for both cell type-specific and regulated transcription. By placing the gene of the transcriptional activation factor (TAF) under the control of this tissue-specific/drug-regulated (TSDR) promoter, this invention achieves high expression levels of TAF in specific target cells by first initiating TAF  expression using cell-type specific transcription elements, and subsequently amplifying transcriptional activity by establishing an autoregulatory positive feedback loop. In non-target cells, cell type-specific elements of the TSDR  promoter will be inactive, the TAF expression will not be initiated, and auto-regulation will not occur. For cell type-specifc promoters with leaky low-level activity in non-target cells, a variation of this system has been developed which combines autologous upregulation of TAF with the expression of cross-competing transcriptional silencers (TSi) to achieve a type of eukaryotic ~gene switch~ - either shutting off transgene and TAF expression completely or promoting maximal expression levels.
