Patent CA-2503027-A1 (CA)
Title: Thymidylate synthase polymorphisms for use in screening for cancer susceptibility
Inventor: LADNER ROBERT
IPC: C12Q1/70
Filed: 2003-10-21
Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the isolated 5' tandem repeats of the thymidylate synthase (TS) gene and methods for its use. The novel SNP, located in the 12th nucleotide of a 28 b p third tandem repeat (3R) of the TS gene, substitutes a C for a G, and is the variant form of the repeat. Subjects with the wild-type form of 3R have greater transcription of the TS gene than subjects with the variant form. Th e invention also reveals that a six base pair deletion in the 3' region of TS (- 6 bp/1494) indicates mRNA instability and thus reduced production of TS. In diseased tissue, such as cancer, reduced production of TS is beneficial because it prevents the cancerous cells from growing and spreading. Analysis of either polymorphism or both together allows for prediction of a subject's response to chemotherapeutic and anti-cardiovascular disease treatments because both diseases are related to TS levels in a subject.

Title: Method and apparatus for processing two or more initially decoded audio signals received or replayed from a bitstream
Inventor: SCHMIDT JUERGEN
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2003-11-24
Abstract: In the MPEG-4 standard ISO/IEC 14496:2001 several audio objects that can be coded with different MPEG-4 format coding types can together form a composed audio system representing a single soundtrack from the several audio substreams. In a receiver the multiple audio objects are decoded separately, but not directly played back to a listener. Instead, transmitted instruction s for mixdown are used to prepare a single soundtrack. Mixdown conflicts can occur in case the audio signals to be combined have different channel number s or configurations. According to the invention an additional audio channel configuration node is used that tags the correct channel configuration information items to the decoded audio data streams to be presented. The invention enables the content provider to set the channel configuration in such a way that the presenter at receiver side can produce a correct channel presentation under all circumstances. An escape code value in the channel configuration data facilitates correct handling of not yet defined channel combinations.

Title: Modular system for generating electricity from moving water
Inventor: PETROUNEVITCH EDOUARD
IPC: F03B13/10
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: A modular system for producing electricity from the channel, river, ocean or tidal water currents is disclosed. The embodiments of the system comprise a set of interconnected submersible converting and diverting modules. Each converting module contains a water flow energy converter positioned in a protecting housing. A converter consists of a vertical axis underwater hydro-turbine, connected to the electrical generator.  The turbine is essentially a paddlewheel having an arrangement of attached paddles with mutually perpendicularly oriented asymmetric blades that are fixed to the poles at both ends. Such orientation of blades provides a positive feedback minimizing the blades' friction while maximizing a drag force and maximizing the turbine's efficiency. The electrical generator transforms the rotational energy of the turbine into electricity.  Diverting modules are used to increase water stream velocities and power output from the turbines. An array of converting and diverting modules may be arranged side by side, thus providing versatile configurations of submersible hydroelectric power systems, which are inexpensive to build, install and maintain.

Title: Systeme electrique haut rendement a pile a combustible avec detendeur generateur d'energie
Inventor: O'BRIEN CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: H01M8/12
Filed: 2003-12-31
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système électrique à pile à combustible à l'hydrogène présentant un rendement amélioré. Il comprend une pile à combustible, une source d'hydrogène gazeux, un compresseur pour entretenir un courant d'air pressurisé, et une alimentation liquide qui est chauffé par la chaleur de récupération du système électrique et s'évapore dans le courant d'air pressurisé pour produire un mélange pressurisé d'air et de vapeur. Ce mélange pressurisé d'air et de vapeur, qui sert de préférence d'oxydant pour la pile à combustible, rendre en combustion avec le combustible dans un brûleur pour donner un courant d'évacuation haute température rempli de vapeur. Ce courant entraîne un détendeur qui dégage en sortie de l'énergie, une prise de puissance partant du détendeur utilisant l'énergie du détendeur pour, par exemple, entraîner un générateur électrique, ou pour entraîner d'autres composants du système. L'évaporation du liquide peut se produire à l'extérieur de la pile à combustible, ou peut se produire directement à l'intérieur de la pile à combustible, de préférence en utilisant un liquide de refroidissement directement injecté dans la pile à combustible. Ce système électrique à pile à combustible profite de la chaleur de récupération basse température de la pile à combustible pour évaporer le liquide donnant l'air pressurisé, ce qui aboutit à un mélange vapeur/air au potentiel de détente relativement important. Les systèmes et procédés correspondants de l'invention peuvent s'appliquer à une grande diversité de système électrique à pile à combustible, y compris un système électrique à pile à combustible "pur" ou "non-hybride", tirant son énergie d'hydrogène provenant soit d'une source externe, telle qu'un réservoir de stockage d'hydrogène, soit du reformage "direct" d'un combustible sur l'anode. L'invention peut également s'appliquer à des systèmes électriques à pile à combustible intégrés ou "hybrides" qui contient un reformeur de combustible local. Dans ces systèmes, la pile à combustible tire son énergie du reformat hydrogéné dégagé par le reformeur.
