Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de secours permettant la création d'une image de secours instantanée rectifiée d'une base de données pendant que la base de données, se trouvant dans un système de pile de disques, est utilisée par des utilisateurs. Un ordinateur de secours exécutant un programme de service de secours commercial est connecté au système de pile de disques et à un système de mémoire magnétique sur bande. Pendant que la procédure de secours est en cours, les demandes d'écriture envoyées à la base de données sont suspendues jusqu'à ce que les données se trouvant à ce moment dans ces blocs de données soient copiées et mémorisées dans une mémoire cache de données originale. L'adresse de système disques du bloc copié et un pointeur de l'emplacement du bloc dans la mémoire cache sont mémorisés dans un plan mémoire. Le programme de service de secours lit par incréments des parties de la base de données provenant du système disques et envoie ces parties au système de mémoire magnétique sur bande. Avant qu'une partie soit envoyée au système de mémoire magnétique sur bande, tous les blocs de données se trouvant dans la partie concernée et possédant une adresse correspondant à l'adresse d'un bloc se trouvant dans la mémoire cache sont éliminés et remplacés par les données provenant de la mémoire cache et destinées à cette adresse.
Patent CA-2286512-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAYARDELLE PAUL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-10-27
Abstract: Oligonucleotide primers were designed for the PCR-based detection of rfe-rff genes involved in the biosynthesis pathway leading to the production of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA). E. coli DNA was detected, using specific rfe (WecA) and rffT (WecF) gene primers. Moreover, rffT primers allowed the detection of most members of the Enterobacteriaceae family in biological fluids such as blood and urine with sensitivity as low as 120 bacteria per ml of water. Thus, these primers represent an important step in the molecular diagnosis of major Enterobacteriaceae infections and routine testing of contamination in drinking water and food. The invention relates to particular oligonucleotides, the corresponding primers, the use of these primers for PCR detection of Enterobacteriaceae species, the related method for PCR  detection and the related diagnostic assay.

Title: Retroreflectors having two optical surfaces and varying retroreflectivity
Inventor: DREYER JOHN F
IPC: G02B5/124
Filed: 1998-06-08
Abstract: Retroreflective articles provide varying retroreflection using a first surface that includes a plurality of light redirecting structures and a second surface that includes retroreflective areas and separation areas. The light redirecting structures on the first surface are preferably arranged relative to the retroreflective areas and the separation areas on the second surface such that a substantial portion of light incident on the light redirecting structures is superimposed on areas of the second surface. At some angles, it is preferred that substantially all of the light is superimposed on either the retroreflective areas or the separation areas, resulting in varying retroreflection from the retroreflective articles. Together, the two optical surfaces of the retroreflective articles provide varying retroreflection of incident light where the variations can be between, e.g., retroreflection or no retroreflection, retroreflection of different colors, retroreflection at different brightness levels, etc. In other words, when subjected to incident light from a steady light source, relative movement between the retroreflective article and the light source will result in variations in retroreflection. When retroreflective articles provide varying retroreflection, the variations or changes will tend to increase the conspicuity of an object or person on which the retroreflective article is located.

Abstract: The invention can be summarized as follows. Several silk-specific genes were isolated from corn silk. The specificity of their expression was determined by Northern analysis. A regulatory region was obtained from the silk gene, C3, and found to direct silk, and pistil, expression in transient assays and transgenic plants, in both monocot and dicot plants. The regulatory region of a silk gene may be used to drive the expression of a gene of interest within pistil or silk-tissues for a range of utilities including pathogen resistance or female sterility.

Title: Optimizing updatable scrollable cursors in database systems
Inventor: GORALWALLA IQBAL A
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: An optimization for updatable scrollable cursors in database systems. To ensure that a temporary copy of a data record matches the data record maintained in the database, the temporary copy is associated with a timestamp included on each page storing the data records of the database. The timestamp on a page in the database is updated whenever any record stored on the page is updated. The optimization compares the timestamp stored with the temporary record with the current timestamp associated with the page on which the data record is stored in the database. If the two timestamps are matching then the temporary record is identical to the database table record and there is no need to carry out a comparison of the attribute values of the temporary record with the record in the database table.

The condenser/evaporator system additionally has a second section (102, 103), which is designed at least in part as a forced circulation evaporator (103). At least some of the second oxygen-rich liquid (12, 13) is passed, by means of a delivery device (14), to the evaporation passages of the second section (102, 103) of the condenser/evaporator system.

Title: Cathode plate for electro winning and refining
Inventor: CHOI CHANG-YOUNG
IPC: C25C7/02
Filed: 2000-12-11
Abstract: A cathode plate particularly adapted for zinc and copper electro-winning and refining includes a panel of aluminum having a top and two opposed side edges, a sloped plastic shield along the top and plastic ribbons along the side. A head bar with two hooks is welded on the top of the plate. The top plastic molding and the side edge ribbons are manufactured simultaneously by a specially devised injection machine. When the cathode plates are immersed into the electrolyte, the top plastic shield keeps the zinc deposit level uniform and prevents the top portion and the liquid contact area of cathode plates from corrosion by acid mist generated during electrochemical reactions. The sloped lower part of top plastic shield facilitates inserting a stripping knife between the zinc deposit and the cathode plate.
