Patent CA-2566022-A1 (CA)
Title: Steering shaft support structure and vehicle
Inventor: YAGI KEITA
IPC: B62D5/04
Filed: 2006-10-30
Abstract: In a steering shaft support structure applied to an all terrain vehicle, both forces of push and pull applied to an EPS unit are reduced when a load is applied to handlebars. A steering shaft is rotatably supported by a body frame and handlebars are attached to the steering shaft. An EPS unit is supported by the body frame. Two sets of adjustable joints are interposed between the steering shaft and the EPS unit in such a manner that their axes are shiftable. With this, if a load is applied to the handlebars, the adjustable joint associated with the steering shaft follows the inclination of the steering shaft, so that the connection point (swing point) of the adjustable joint associated with the EPS unit does not shift. This reduces both forces of push and pull applied to the EPS unit.

Title: Natural language classification within an automated response system
Inventor: WILLIAMS DAVID R
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2005-09-07
Abstract: An automated response system (e.g., an automated voice response system) may employ learning strategies to develop or improve automated response capabilities. Learning strategies may include using communications(e.g., utterances, text messages, etc.) of one party in a conversation (e.g., a customer service agent) to identify and categorize communications of another party in the conversation (e.g., a caller). Classifiers can be build from the categorized communications. Classifiers can be used to identify common communications patterns of a party in a conversation (e.g., an agent).  Learning strategies may also include selecting communications as learning opportunities to improve automated response capabilities based on selection criteria (e.g., selection criteria chosen to ensure that the system does not learn from unreliable or insignificant examples).

Title: Arf-bp1 as mediator of p53-dependent and independent tumor suppression and uses thereof
Inventor: GU WEI
IPC: C12P21/06
Filed: 2005-09-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to the mechanism of ARF-mediated cell growth suppression. ARF-BP1 is identified as a novel ubiquitin ligase, and a major component of ARF-containing nuclear complexes in human cells. The present invention discloses a novel mechanism of ARF-mediated p53 activation and that ARF-BP1 is a critical mediator of both p53-independent and p53-dependent tumor suppression functions of ARF. Inactivation of ARF-BP1 in normal cells stabilizes p53 and induces p53-dependent apoptosis. Inactivation of ARF-BP1, but not Mdm2, in p53-wildtype cells promotes cell growth inhibition in a manner reminiscent of ARF induction. ARF-BP1 directly binds and ubiquitinates p53 and inactivation of endogenous ARF-BP1 is crucial for ARF-mediated p53 stabilization in Mdm2-null cells. ARF-BP1 is advantageous over Mdm2 as a target for suppressing tumor cell growth regardless of p53 status.

Title: Power-efficient data reception in a communication system with packet variable delay
Inventor: PRAKASH RAJAT
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2005-10-20
Abstract: To conserve power, a terminal operates in a "power save" mode in which the terminal is in a "doze" state when there is a low probability of receiving an incoming packet and in an "awake" state when an incoming packet is expected.  In the doze state, the terminal powers down as much circuitry as possible. The terminal transitions between states based on an "ON" window. The window size and placement are determined based on statistics of packet arrival times. The terminal enters the awake state at the start of the ON window, turns on the receiver, and monitors for an incoming packet. The terminal turns off the receiver after receiving the packet, updates the statistics of the arrival times, and computes the window size and placement for the next incoming packet. The terminal may selectively enable or disable the power save mode based on jitter in the arrival times.
