Patent CA-2554404-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PROCTOR JAMES A JR
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2005-01-27
Abstract: A base station receives a reverse link signal from a given field unit that includes a common code (i.e., shared by other field units) and a unique orthogonal code (i.e., distinguishing the given field unit from other field units). The reverse link signal travels in a multi-path environment along a primary path at least one secondary path. The base station makes a diversity decision based on the unique orthogonal code seen at two different phases. T he base station determines a gross timing offset to align the common code of th e given field unit with the common code from other field units using unique orthogonal codes. The given field unit makes a corresponding coarse adjustme nt of the phase of its common code.
Patent CA-2557348-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STATZ HERMANN
IPC: B32B15/02
Filed: 2004-02-18
Abstract: Composite materials that can be used to block radiation of a selected wavelength range or provide highly pure colors are disclosed. The materials include dispersions of particles that exhibit optical resonance behavior, resulting in the radiation absorption cross-sections that substantially exceed the particles' geometric cross-sections. The particles are preferably manufactured as uniform nanosize encapsulated spheres, and dispersed evenly within a carrier material. Either the inner core or the outer shell of the particles comprises a conducting material exhibiting plasmon (Froehlich) resonance in a desired spectral band. The large absorption cross-sections ensure that a relatively small volume of particles will render the composite material fully opaque (or nearly so) to incident radiation of the resonance wavelength, blocking harmful radiation or producing highly pure colors. The materials of the present invention can be used in manufacturing ink, paints, lotions, gels, films, textiles and other solids having desired color properties. The materials of the present invention can be used in systems consisting of reflecting substances such as paper or transparent support such as plastic or glass films. The particles can be further embedded in transparent plastic or glass beads to ensure a minimal distance between the particles.

Title: Method for assessment of cytotoxic t lymphocyte activity
Inventor: CHEN KONG
IPC: C12Q1/02
Filed: 2005-04-14
Abstract: A new cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) assay has been discovered using two cell lines that stably express either green fluorescent protein (GFP) or red fluorescent protein (DsRed), which are distinguishable by FACS, fluorescence microplate reader, or fluorescence microscopy. Using one cell line as a target (T) to present antigen and the other, at the same number, as an internal control (reference, R), a new CTL assay (named fluorolysometric (FL)-CTL  assay) way developed based on cytolysis of these fluorescent protein-expressing targets detectable by FACS. This FL-CTL assay was further extended for use with a fluorescent microplate reader. This FL-CTL assay was reproducibly used to determine primary CTL activity at high sensitivity when compared to other conventional assays with in vivo activated T cells against different antigens. This new reliable, sensitive, convenient, and economical CTL assay has broad application potentials for experimental and clinical use in different antigen and effector-target systems.
