Patent CA-2372756-C (CA)
Inventor: GHAFFARI TOURAJ
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2000-04-19
Granted: 2011-07-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système (1) de contrôle et d'enregistrement automatiques par identification radiofréquence (RFID) et surveillance électronique d'articles (EAS). Des étiquettes EAS et des étiquettes RFID sont connectées à des articles, et utilisées dans cette invention. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré du contrôle automatique (7), un boîtier pourvu d'une cavité sert à recevoir des articles pour la réalisation du contrôle. La cavité se trouve dans une zone de désactivation. Les étiquettes RFID sont lues (18), et après la vérification (21) d'une transaction autorisée, une antenne (16) de désactivation est alimentée pour désactiver les étiquettes EAS. Une base de données (5) d'inventaire stockée est alors mise à jour, et des informations sur la transaction peuvent être affichées. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'enregistrement automatique, des articles sont déposés dans un boîtier allongé avant d'être renvoyés. Une fois déposés, les articles passent à travers le boîtier et sortent à l'autre extrémité. Lorsque les articles sont déposés, les étiquettes RFID fixées sur les articles sont lues, la base de données (5) d'inventaire est mise à jour, et une antenne (17) d'activation est alimentée de manière à former une zone d'activation que les articles traversent lorsqu'ils passent à travers le boîtier, activant ainsi les étiquettes EAS fixées. Les champs magnétiques utilisés pour l'activation et la désactivation sont des supports magnétiques utilisables avec des articles contenant des supports d'enregistrement magnétique.

Title: Methods of detection of amyloidogenic proteins
Inventor: KRISHNAMURTHY GIRIJA
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2000-12-01
Granted: 2010-03-30
Abstract: A method/assay for detecting various aggregated forms of amyloid peptide using amyloid-specific spectroscopic probes, such as Congo red and related analogs, is described. Such an assay could be used to assess the aggregation state of the peptide in the presence of other potential inhibitors of fibrillogenesis, providing a useful model by which to test inhibitors of aggregation in in vitro models. Results of such an assay can be useful in determining the stage at which the process of aggregation can be intervened to reduce the toxicity of amyloid peptide to neuronal cells. In specific examples, circular dichroism, UV absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy are each used to evaluate the aggregation form of .beta.-amyloid peptide.

Title: Folded sagnac sensor array
Inventor: VAKOC BENJAMIN A
IPC: H04R23/00
Filed: 2001-03-02
Granted: 2008-05-20
Abstract: A folded Sagnac fiber optic acoustic sensor array (1200) operates in a manner similar to a Sagnac Interferometer but uses a common delay path to reduce distributed pickup in downlead fibers. The fiber optic acoustic sensor (716) is used to detect acoustic waves in water. By basing the folded Sagnac sensor array on the operating principles similar to the Sagnac interferometer rather than basing the array on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the sensor array has a stable bias point, has reduced phase noise, and allows a broadband signal source to be used rather than requiring a more expensive narrowline laser. A large number of acoustic sensors (718(N)) can be multiplexed into the architecture of the folded Sagnac fiber optic acoustic array.

Title: A method for generating hypermutable organisms
Inventor: NICOLAIDES NICHOLAS C
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 2001-05-14
Granted: 2012-08-14
Abstract: Dominant negative alleles of human mismatch repair genes can be used to generate hypermutable cells and organisms. By introducing these genes into cells and transgenic animals, new cell lines and animal varieties with novel and useful properties can be prepared more efficiently than by relying on the natural rate of mutation. The enhanced rate of mutation can be further augmented using mutagens. Moreover, the hypermutability of mismatch repair deficient cells can be remedied to stabilize cells or mammals with useful mutations.

Abstract: A method for installing spine-stabilization components comprises directing a long flexible tool (100) through a sublaminar space of a human spine vertebr ae inside the spinal canal. Such tool enters the sublaminar space of a particul ar one of the human spine vertebrae posteriorly from the intervertebral gap wit h an adjacent verterbrae. It exits the sublaminar space of the particular one of the human spine vertebrae posteriorly from the intervertebral gap with anoth er opposite-side adjacent vertebrae. A suture (200) is threaded through an eye (102) of the tool. The suture is pulled back through the sublaminar space by withdrawing the tool. A pulled-through part of the suture is attached to a spinal-fixation wire or cable. The suture is then usable as a pilot-line to draw the spinal-fixation wire or cable through the sublaminar space. The spinal-fixation wire or cable is used to anchor a spinal-fixation system.</S DOAB>

Abstract: An apparatus (20) and method is given for evaluating a well fluid sub-sample at the well surface as the sample is transported to the well surface from a downhole wellbore location (11). The invention collects a formation fluid sample under pressure. The fluid sample is further pressurized with a travelling piston (94) powered by the hydrostatic wellbore pressure. The pressurized formation fluid sample is contained under high pressure within a fixed volume chamber (95) for retrieval to the well surface. Multiple collection tanks (30) can be lowered into the wellbore during the same run to sample different zones with minimal rig time. A pair of valves (75 and 76) in series along the supply/discharge conduit (78) respective to each tank (30) accommodates extraction of a filed sample to verify the sample integrity while still on location. The tanks (30) can be emptied at the well surface with an evacuation pressure so that the fluid sample pressure is maintained above a selected pressure at all times or transported to an analytical laboratory.
