Patent CA-2496394-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VERRIET FRANK
IPC: B60G17/02
Filed: 2005-02-09
Abstract: A preload shock absorber assembly includes a shock absorber having a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder includes a rod slideably supported by a cylinder head having a seal at one end of the hydraulic cylinder. A preload air chamber is arranged radially outwardly of the rod seal to provide a first spring having a spring rate. The pressurized preload air chamber is separated from the rod seal to prevent loss of pressurized from the preload air chamber to the hydraulic cylinder. The pressurized air chamber uses a movable separator that seals the air chamber and isolates the air chamber from the outside environment. A second spring is supported by a seat secured to the hydraulic cylinder outer wall and is arranged between the seat and the separator. A third spring is arranged within the air chamber to supplement the spring rate provided by the pressurized air chamber.

Patent CA-2519165-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HUBER ADRIAN
IPC: C07K14/02
Filed: 2004-03-25
Abstract: The present invention is related to the fields of molecular biology, virology, immunology and medicine. The invention provides a modified virus-like particle (VLP) comprising a VLP which can be loaded with immunostimulatory substances, in particular with DNA oligonucleotides containing non-methylated C and G  (CpGs), and particular HIV peptides linked thereto. Such CpG-VLPs are dramatically more immunogenic that their CpG-free counterparts and induce enhanced B and T cell responses. The immune response against HIV peptides optionally coupled, fused or attached otherwise to the VLPs is similarly enhanced as the immune response against HIV peptides are especially directed to the Th1 type. Antigens attached to CpG-loaded VLPs may therefore be ideal vaccines for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination against allergies, tumors and other self-molecules and chronic viral diseases.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided in which an origination station broadcasts a broadcast program to at least one of a plurality of destination stations. A  first destination station (or a first group of destination stations) receives a first registration period parameter from the origination station. The first registration period parameter specifies a first period during which the first destination station must register with the origination station. The first destination station may block any attempted registration request that occurs outside the first period. Alternatively, the origination station can deny any attempted registration request by the first destination station that occurs outside the first period. If the registration request from the first destination station is sent before the first period begins, then the destination station can periodically request registration until a request is sent within the first period.

IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2004-07-07
Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for implementing digital rights management for digital content that can be used on Java enabled mobile devices. It enables the controlled usage of the digital content on the mobile device after it is downloaded from a content provider. This is achieved by a mobile service provider that generates a license based on a rights workflow and applies charging policies to prevent the downloaded digital content from being forwarded to other users. The digital content cannot be used without the license. The digital content can be delivered to the user either through combined or separate delivery, depending on whether the license is sent along with the digital content or not. On expiry of the license, the user is prompted for updating the license. The user can then use the digital content once the license is updated.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for generating a software documentation file from a software source code file is provided. In one embodiment, the source code file for the software is read by the automatic program documentation generation tool. The tool extracts software documentation from the source code file, by for example, locating documentation begin and end indicia within the source code and extracting the data contained within the indicia. The documentation has been previously written into the source code by a software developer, programmer, or engineer.  The tool then creates a software documentation file, such as, for example, a UNIX Man Page or an HTML page, from the extracted software documentation extracted from the source code. The software documentation file is typically stored in a central repository.
Patent CA-2537358-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HE JIAN-JUN
IPC: H04B10/50
Filed: 2006-02-20
Abstract: A semiconductor laser comprises two optical cavities, each comprising an optical waveguide bounded by two partially reflecting elements. The two optical waveguides are disposed on a substrate to form a substantially V-shaped geometry with substantially no cross-coupling at the open end and a predetermined cross-coupling at the closed end for achieving an optimal single-mode selectivity of the laser. The first cavity has a length such that its resonant wavelengths correspond to a set of discrete operating channels. The second cavity has a slightly different length so that only one resonant wavelength coincides with one of the resonant wavelengths of the first cavity over the operating spectral window. The lasing action occurs at the common resonant wavelength. In operation, at least a portion of the optical waveguide in each of the first and the second cavities are forward biased to provide substantially equal round-trip optical gains. The second cavity is tuned by varying the effective refractive index of a portion of the waveguide through an electrical means, resulting in wavelength switching among the set of discrete operating wavelengths as determined by the first cavity. The laser may further comprise a Y-branch coupler or a directional coupler outside the optical cavities to improve coupling efficiency to external devices and to realize an additional modulation or space switching functionality.

Abstract: A control system (Figure 4) for controlling regeneration of a DPF (42) comprises a favorable-condition-based control section (52), a regular control section (54), and a regeneration termination control section (56). Section (54) initiates regeneration when the actual soot loading (CDPF_DELTA_P) of the DPF becomes sufficiently large to mandate initiation of regeneration. Section (52) initiates regeneration when the actual soot loading (CDPF_DELTA_P) reaches an amount (SOOTLOADING) less than the amount at which section (54) mandates regeneration, provided that selected engine operating conditions (MFDES, ENGINE_SPEED) disclose conditions favorable for regeneration. Section (56) terminates regeneration when soot loading (CDPF_DELTA_P) is reduced to some minimum amount (DELTA_P_MIN) or when conditions for continuing regeneration become unfavorable. By burning trapped soot during favorable conditions, the mandatory regeneration is postponed. This can lower the average amount of trapped soot in the CDPF, thereby lowering the average back-pressure on the engine (20).
