Patent CA-2423729-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KURN NURITH
IPC: C12Q1/6818
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne des sondes de détection d'acides nucléiques servant à la détection et/ou à la quantification spécifique de séquences d'acides nucléiques cibles, ainsi que des procédés de détection et/ou de quantification au moyen de ces sondes. En l'absence de séquence d'acides nucléiques cible, un premier oligonucléotide et un troisième oligonucléotide sont liés l'un à l'autre selon une conformation qui établit une étroite proximité spatiale entre deux éléments d'une paire de fractions interactives (marqueurs). Une liaison de coopération du premier oligonucléotide et d'un second oligonucléotide à une séquence d'acides nucléiques cible entraîne le déplacement du troisième oligonucléotide de la première sonde oligonucléotidique, provoquant la séparation des deux éléments de la paire de fractions interactives (marqueurs). La séparation spatiale des fractions (marqueurs) est détectable et indique la présence et/ou la quantité de séquence d'acides nucléiques cible. Le procédé est utile pour la détection et/ou la quantification d'une séquence d'acides nucléiques spécifique ainsi que la détection d'une modification de la séquence d'acides nucléiques cible.

Title: Process for producing flavored cheese without curing
Inventor: MORAN JAMES W
IPC: A23L27/24
Filed: 2003-04-25
Abstract: A process for producing a flavored cheese that does not require curing or aging is provided. Using three specific flavor components (i.e., a "sulfury-cheddar" flavored component, a "creamy-buttery" flavored component, and a "cheesy" flavored component), a wide variety of flavored cheeses having desired flavor profiles and of various types can be prepared using a simple process that does not require a curing or aging step. Depending on the type of cheese desired, a mixture of at least one, and preferably at least two, of the flavor components is prepared. A non-coagulating amount of a cheese coagulate is added and sufficient water is removed, preferably by evaporation, to obtain the desired solids level, thereby forming the desired flavored cheese.

Title: Systems and methods for reversibly blocking nerve activity
Inventor: KILGORE KEVIN L
IPC: A61N1/32
Filed: 2002-02-20
Abstract: A system and method for blocking nerve impulses using an implanted electrode located on or around a nerve. A specific waveform (34) is used that causes t he nerve membrane to become incapable of transmitting an action potential. The waveform has a first phase (36) that produces subthreshold depolarization of the nerve membrane, and a second phase (38) having a shorter duration. The membrane is only affected underneath the electrode, and the effect is immediately and completely reversible. The waveform has a low amplitude and can be charge balanced, with a high likelihood of being safe to the nerve fo r chronic condition. It is possible to selectively block larger (motor) nerve fibers within a mixed nerve, while allowing sensory information to travel through unaffected nerve fibers.

Title: Sampling isolator
Inventor: LANGE JAMES E
IPC: E21B17/07
Filed: 2003-10-15
Abstract: A soil sampling system that in one embodiment includes a drill rod, a sampler or core barrel and an adapter coupling, for connecting the sampler barrel to the drill rod. In one embodiment the drill rod provides vibratory drilling movement, and the sampler barrel collects soil samples. The adapter coupling may include a barrel adapter for attaching the adapter coupling to the sampler barrel, a rod adapter for connecting the adapter coupling to the drill rod, and an isolating mechanism to isolate the sampler barrel from any upward vibratory movement of said drill rod. As such, the sampler barrel receives only downward motion from the drill rod. In one embodiment, the isolating mechanism of the soil sampling system includes an isolator box connected to the rod adapter. The soil sampling system may also include an isolator pin attached to the barrel adapter. In an embodiment of the soil sampling system, the rod adapter drives the isolator pin during a downward stroke of said drill rod. Then, the rod adapter lifts away and is removed from the isolator pin on an upward stroke of the drill rod. The isolator box maintains a coupling allowing relative movement between the rod adapter and the isolator pin.
