Patent CA-2531544-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FAVRE ERIC
IPC: A47J31/06
Filed: 2004-06-10
Abstract: Method for preparing a beverage or liquid food from a capsule (1) containing a material (2) with a substance to be extracted, wherein said capsule has a highly resiliently or permanently deformable flexible diaphragm (17). The method comprises the steps of forming a plurality of holes (26) distributed over the flexible diaphragm (17) and spraying water onto the flexible diaphragm (17) so as to urge it towards the material (2) inside the capsule (1) and force the water into the capsule (1) through said holes. The size of the holes formed by the piercing spikes (25) is dependent on the filling level or the compactness of the material (2) inside the capsule, thereby influencing the hydraulic pressure differential (DELTAP) between the two sides (17a, 17b) of the flexible diaphragm (17) in order to achieve automatically controlled compression of the material (2) in the capsule (1).

Inventor: CARLI CARLO
IPC: G05B19/401
Filed: 2004-07-15
Abstract: A system for performing dimension checkings of mechanical pieces includes a contact detecting probe (4) with wireless transmission, for example by means of a single radiofrequency two-way communication link (14), with respect to a base station (10) connected to an interface unit (11). The probe includes a logic unit (36) and a memory unit (38) in which there reside the values of some operation parameters, for example the transmission frequency and/or the activation mode of the probe. The values of the operation parameters can be modified in a programming phase, according to a method that foresees the wireless transmission of control signals from a manually operated control device - carried out, for example, in the interface unit - to the probe, for giving the updating of the values among the selectable values of a sequence residing in the probe, and the acquisition of the current value. The generation of the former control signals is activated by manually operating keys of the interface unit on the basis of information - regarding the parameter under consideration and its associated current value - observable on a display, for example in the interface unit, information visualized on the basis of signals transmitted from the probe.

Title: Target genes for inflammatory bowel disease
Inventor: ZAPATA ADRIANA
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-02-11
Abstract: Two genes have been discovered that show single nucleotide polymorphisms that are differentially expressed in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as compared to unaffected controls. These two genes, FLJ21425 and CSF1R  (colony stimulating factor 1 receptor), are located close together on chromosome 5q33 which was known to have other IBD susceptibility genes.  Moreover, expression of the CSF1R gene was shown in the intestinal epithelium.  These two genes can be used to test for the presence of the allele associated with IBD for an early diagnosis of susceptibility to IBD. Early identification of subjects with susceptibility to IBD will enable early treatment with known methods. Additionally, the two genes can be used to target treatment, e.g., drugs known to affect CSF1R expression. Based on gene expression data, chromosomal location and biological function, the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor gene was shown to contribute to Crohn's disease susceptibility.

Abstract: A motion controlling hinge (20, 200) for an orthopedic brace is provided. The hinge includes an actuator (58, 222) secured to one arm, and at least one spring member (80, 204). As the arm with the actuator pivots in a first direction, at a predetermined flexion angle the actuator applies a force to the spring member, causing the spring member to flex. The spring member exerts a force on the actuator tending to bias the actuator away from the spring member, and tending to bias the arm in a second direction opposite the first direction. In some embodiments, the spring member comprises a plurality of flat bar leaf springs. A movable fulcrum enables adjustments of a force exerted by the spring member on the actuator. A variety of differently sized adapters are securable on the actuator. The size of the adapter determines the flexion angle at which the spring member first exerts force on the actuator.  In some embodiments, the hinge includes an "ON"/"OFF" switch (208) that enables a user to disengage biasing force provided by the spring member.

Filed: 2006-05-25
Abstract: A system and a method to enlarge the minimum signal of a linear modulation signal (115) including multi-carrier modulation, such as Scalable advanced Modulation or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, are disclosed. A  minimum enlarger (120) exploits a simple amplitude limiter (220) so as not to interfere with an existing peak suppression scheme. The amplitude limiter (220) enlarges local minimum amplitude values to a predetermined minimum amplitude threshold if the local minimum amplitude values are less than the predetermined minimum amplitude threshold. While the amplitude limiter (220) adjusts the local minimum amplitude values in the linear modulation signal (115), the phase of the linear modulation signal (115) is maintained. The conditioned linear modulation signal (125) increases the efficiency of a linear power amplifier (130). The spectral change of the linear modulation signal due to the disclosed scheme is negligible because the adjusted signal power is negligible.
