Patent CA-2580372-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRAZEAU PAUL
IPC: C07K14/75
Filed: 2005-09-14
Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel process for isolating growth and differentiating factors present in colostrum, all in a natural way. This process is characterized by maturation steps (controlled mild acid hydrolysis) and physical steps (molecular filtration) which optimize recovery of measured growth factors and their ability to entice a response on human cells.  Advantageously, this process allows the derivation and isolation of growth and differentiating factors with highly disparate sizes (or molecular weights) in pools. These pools can be used in select and varied ways, including cosmetic, cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, dermatological, pharmaceutical, medical and veterinary applications. It can also be used as a replacement to fetal calf serum to promote cell proliferation, and above all, cell differentiation.

Patent CA-2589414-A1 (CA)
IPC: G01T1/20
Filed: 2007-05-17
Abstract: The Radioactive materials detection sensor and alarm device (also referred to as RadDetect ACG 1250) provides early detection/notification of the presence of radioactive materials using both scintillator materials with photoelectric sensors and Thin Film Transistor (TFT) sensors. TFT sensors such as those used in pressure sensitive finger print sensors and display systems are subject to failure when exposed to the presence of radioactive materials. The junctions of the unshielded transistors are "blown out" by the presence of radioactive emissions. In this application the TFT sensor is monitored by on--board diagnostic software which detects the "failure" of the junctions.  When the failure occurs in a specified area on the sensor the source of the radioactive emission can be identified. Once the junctions start "blowing out" the debug software notifies the communications software providing the electronic signaling to the common interface.  The interface firmware can then provide a variety of signaling and data transmission options including sounding of a local alarm, reporting via cellular or satellite networks to a central monitoring location and the activation of a Global Positioning System (GPS) for determining the exact location of the presence of the radioactive materials.

Filed: 2006-03-20
Abstract: A robust customer service environment employing "Key Performance Indicators"  (KPIs), which represent both customer interaction experiences and also the overall efficacy of agent performance on an interaction-by-interaction basis.  A KPI can be any metric for measuring a category of information related to a call center interaction, e.g., customer satisfaction or agent ability/performance. Input from customer experiences, whether originating from the customer, agent, or agent supervisor, is catalogued and linked to one or more KPIs. Key performance indicators are associated with a key performance indicator template, which is linked with a project comprising routing rules, triggers, and specific actions that are driven as a result of the key performance indicator template. The project may be a phone/IVR project, Web CallBack project, email project, or a Chat project. Execution of the key performance indicator template triggers pre-, during, and/or post-call, -chat, -CallBack, or -email input from a call center user.
