Patent CA-2525588-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAGUIB AYMAN FAWZY
IPC: H04L/
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: A system and method for power control and scheduling of sub-carriers in an OFDM communication system. The receiver dynamic range can be minimized by a power control loop that attempts to maintain received power over a noise floor in a predetermined range. If the received power relative to a noise floor in allocated sub-carriers exceeds the predetermined range and the total received power is at the minimum, the scheduling system allocates an additional sub-carrier to the communication link. Additionally, if the received power relative to the noise floor is less than the predetermined range minimum, and the total received power is at a maximum, the scheduling system de-allocates a sub-carrier from the communication link. The scheduling system may also adjust an encoding rate to maintain a relatively constant symbol rate in each sub-carrier.

Title: Genetic analysis for stratification of breast cancer risk
Inventor: ASTON CRISTOPHER
IPC: G16H70/60
Filed: 2004-09-03
Abstract: The present invention provides new methods for the assessment of cancer risk in the general population. These methods utilize particular alleles of two or more genes, in combination, to identify individuals with increased or decreased risk of cancer. Exemplified is risk assessment for breast cancer in women. In addition, personal history measures such as age and race are used to further refine the analysis. Using such methods, it is possible to reallocate healthcare costs in cancer screening to patient subpopulations at increased cancer risk. It also permits identification of candidates for cancer prophylactic treatment.

Patent CA-2541808-A1 (CA)
Title: In-band negotiation in single transcompression scenarios related applications
Inventor: MELHORN NATHAN RICHMOND
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-10-07
Abstract: A network device has a processor to control message traffic between the network device and other devices in a network, a port to allow the network device to send and receive the message traffic and a transcompression element to receive indicators of compression renegotiation messages and to transmit indicators of compression renegotiation acknowledgement, as well as perform compression/decompression. A method of controlling compression in a network receives an indicator of compression renegotiation at a decompressor on a first network device, and transmits an indicator of compression renegotiation acknowledgement to a compressor element on a second network device. Another method of controlling compression in a network determines if a compression method for outgoing data is compatible with a decompression method for incoming data. If the compression and decompression methods are compatible, incoming data is transmitted as outgoing data without compression or decompression, with monitoring of message traffic for any compression renegotiation messages. Compression/decompression may be performed after compression renegotiation or may be ceased.

Title: Static/dynamic pressure-energized seal for a brake actuator
Inventor: SCHECKELHOFF KENNETH E
IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 2006-05-01
Abstract: A pressure-energized seal for a spring-type brake actuator for a vehicle brake, in which the actuator's power spring is located between the service brake actuator and parking brake release actuator. The power spring is captured between the actuator's intermediate flange and a spring retainer. In order to prevent pressure leakage past the spring retainer into a power spring cavity, a pressure-energized seal is located between the plate and the housing. The seal member, which is carried by the spring plate or the housing, has a pressure-receiving section with resilient outer portions, which are deflected by pressure in the service chamber into firm contact with the spring plate and the actuator housing interior wall, increasing the sealing force between the seal and both the plate and the housing. The pressure-energized seal provides improved seal performance with a seal which is easy to inspect and/or replace, highly reliable, and relatively inexpensive.
