Inventor: GERACE THOMAS A
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2006-06-12
Abstract: In a global network of computers, a method ad system of profiling a user for targeting advertisements is disclosed. The method and system obtains and/or infers demographic information from end-users using on-line means. The invention next monitors end user activity and determines keywords therefrom.  The system and method profiles an end user as a function of the determined end-user activity keywords and obtained/inferred end-user demographic information.  Profiles of end- users are matched against targeted profiles of advertisements which are defined by the respective advertisers. This results in targeting advertisements to end-users based on end user profiles. Advertisers bid for advertisement placement with the system. In some embodiments, the system employs Vickrey auction type bidding. Using observed user behavior and the auction results, ads are prioritized for selection and viewing placement in a manner that provides the greatest potential value to the system.

Patent CA-2632738-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PLANTE JAMES
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2006-12-07
Abstract: A vehicle event recorder is provided that includes a camera for capturing a video as discrete image frames, and that further includes a managed loop memory and a management system for generating a virtual 'timeline dilation' effect. To overcome size limits in the buffer memory of the video event recorder, the maximum time extension of a video series is increased by enabling a reduction in temporal resolution in exchange for an increase in the temporal extension. Memory cells are overwritten in an 'interleaved' fashion to produce a reduced frame rate for the recording of certain time periods connected to an event moment. In time periods furthest from the event moment, the resulting frame rate is minimized while in time periods closest to the event moment, the resulting frame rate is maximized.

Title: Transgenic animals expressing chimeric antibodies for use in preparing human antibodies
Inventor: BLACK AMELIA
IPC: C12P21/08
Filed: 2007-03-30
Abstract: The invention provides transgene constructs for expressing chimeric antibodies, and transgenic non-human host animals carrying such constructs, wherein the chimeric antibodies comprise human variable regions and constant regions of the non-human transgenic host animal. The presence of immunoglobulin constant regions of the host animal allows for generation of improved antibodies in such transgenic host animals. Subsequently, the chimeric antibodies can be readily converted to fully human antibodies using recombinant DNA techniques. Thus, the invention provides compositions and methods for generating human antibodies in which chimeric antibodies raised in vivo in transgenic mice are used as intermediates and then converted to fully human antibodies in vitro.

Patent CA-2648256-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOYET LOWELL L
IPC: H01Q21/00
Filed: 2007-06-16
Abstract: A multi-band antenna for use, for example, in a wireless communications network, employs multi-resonant microstrip dipoles that resonate at multiple frequencies due to microstrip "islands." Gaps in the microstrips create an open RF circuit except for desired frequencies. At a desired frequency, RF energy sees a gap as a short circuit between an island and the rest of a dipole antenna, thus, resonating at the desired frequency. In one instance, the multi-band antenna includes a first, second, third, and fourth dipole elements. Gaps between the first and third dipole elements and the second and fourth dipole elements are sufficiently small that the first, second, third, and fourth dipole elements form a second dipole having a corresponding dipole wavelength longer than that of the first dipole.
