Title: Non-invasive method for diagnosing alzheimer's disease in a patient
Inventor: SCINTO LEONARD
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 1995-07-24
Abstract: The present invention provides non-invasive methods for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in a living human subject. One method employs a non-invasive automated apparatus which can continuously monitor pupil diameter size over time;  repetitively measure pupil diameter size over time for a pre-chosen duration ranging from about less than 1 second to about 5 minutes; and cumulatively record size information as it is obtained over time. A second method employs an apparatus which can repetitively measure pupil constriction velocity for a pre-chosen duration both before and after stimulation by visible light. Both methods require the administration of at least one neural transmitter mediator to a targeted eye of the living subject in an amount insufficient to cause marked changes in pupil diameter size over time in a person who is not afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. The marked hypersensitivity of an Alzheimer's dementia patient to the administered neural transmitter mediator serves as the means for identifying individuals afflicted with Alzheimer's disease.

Title: Technique for obtaining and exchanging information on world wide web
Inventor: ANUPAM VINOD
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 1997-05-26
Abstract: Computer users may utilize different web browsers to access a server system on the World Wide Web (WWW) to create or join a collaborative browsing session. The users or collaborators in a session are connected by one or more controllers in the server system.  When a collaborator creates or joins a session, mobile code is transmitted from the system to the collaborator's computer to create a surrogate thereon, which monitors the collaborator's interaction with a web browser on the computer.  The controllers communicate with all the surrogates of the collaborators to coordinate the collaborative browsing effort.  When one of the surrogates detects a change by a collaborator of a uniform resource locator (URL), the new URL is communicated through the controllers to the surrogates of all other collaborators in the session.  As such, the collaborators are able to move from one URL to another to browse information in a synchronous manner.  In addition, the collaborators can interactively communicate with one another in real time through the respective surrogates during the session.
Patent CA-2207073-A1 (CA)
Title: Dual frequency global positioning system
Inventor: PETERSEN WALTER D
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 1996-09-17
Abstract: A global position system receiver recovers the L1 and L2 carriers, the C/A-code measurements and the L1 and L2 P-code measurements by (a) producing an estimate of the L1 carrier phase angle and synchronizing a locally generated C/A-code with the L1 signal using an L1 delay lock loop and controlling, based on the locally generated C/A code, an L1 P-code generator that produces a synchronized version of the P-code; (b) initializing an L2 P-code generator based on the phase of the P-code generated by the L1 P-code generator; (c) determining, for the L2 signal, an estimate of signal power that is adjusted to compensate for noise; (d) determining an L2 carrier phase angle; (e) tracking the L2 P-code by adjusting an L2 P-code generator until the estimate of signal power is maximized. The GPS receiver also resolves a 1/2 cycle ambiguity in tracking the L2 P-code by comparing demodulated L1 P-code bits and L2 P-code bits. If the bits do not match in the majority of instances, the receiver determines that it is tracking the L2 P-code with 1/2 cycle error and adjusts its estimate of the P-code phase accordingly. The receiver thus tracks the L2 P-code and carrier independently of the L1 signal, with the exception of the resolution of the 1/2 cycle ambiguity. Accordingly, the receiver can determine the reliability of the L2 signal by determining a carrier-to-noise ratio.

Title: Method and computer program product for synchronizing the processing of multiple data streams and matching disparate processing rates using a standardized clock mechanism
Inventor: SHAW GEORGE H J
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1997-06-19
Abstract: A method and computer program product for synchronizing processing between two or more data streams (e.g., video and sound input) and for rate matching between two different hardware clocks that may drift with respect to one another (e.g., an originating clock represented in a timestamped data stream versus a clock actually rendering the data) in a system of interconnected software drivers running in kernel mode. The present invention overcomes the coordination complexity and inaccuracies in the prior art by providing a clocking mechanism in a system wherein multiple drivers having input and output connection pin instances are chained together. The clocking mechanism synchronizes between data streams by providing a master clock on an input pin instance of a driver that is used to synchronize with other input pin instances on other drivers and "slave" clocks. Synchronization is achieved through event notification or stream position queries so that corresponding frames of data in separate streams are rendered together (e.g., video frames with corresponding sound track). Rate matching is achieved through monitoring a physical clock progression in comparison with a series of data stream timestamps thereby allowing adjustments to match the different clock rates. A common physical clock (e.g., PC clock) can be used as a reference for a component to translate a particular clock time to a time shared by all components with a minimum of error.
