Patent CA-2282982-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TANGUAY JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: A61K31/565
Filed: 1999-09-21
Abstract: The endothelium plays a major role in the regulation of structural and functional integrity of coronary arteries. Damage to endothelium occurs following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Locally delivered 17 - beta estradiol following PTCA in pigs resulted in an enhanced reendothelialization and endothelial function, possibly via a markedly higher endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression when compared to controls. Since endothelial dysfunction can promote both restenosis and coronary spasm, local 17 - beta estradiol delivery is a promising new approach to improve the results after PTCA.

Patent CA-2286761-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHESKIS BORRIS Y
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1998-04-06
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a methodology to study the effect of ligands that can modulate functions of nuclear receptors, and specifically, their interaction with specific DNA or other transcription factors. These receptors play a major role in the cascade of inter and intracellular physiological and biochemical events. They generally have a modular construction which enables them to recognize and bind to certain DNA sequences, or binding elements, such as hormone response elements. Various ligands, such as hormones, affect this interaction. In accordance with the methodology presented herein, measurements of such interactions are taken in real time and kinetic pattern. This allows the user to identify and to characterize ligands that are able to affect a receptor's interaction with its binding element. Hence, the present invention provides a useful tool for the elucidation, and development of ligands that affect transcription of target genes, either directly or indirectly.

Inventor: MATHEWS EUGENE P
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A call center is configured such that call selection and/or agent selection processes may be based at least in part on stored information regarding agent schedules, such as scheduled break times, training sessions, ends of shifts or other events for the agents. In an illustrative embodiment, schedule information is stored for at least one of the call center agents, and a communication is selected for delivery to the agent based at least in part on the stored schedule information for that agent. For example, a call selection process in the call center may be modified for a designated period of time before a scheduled break of a given agent such that the call selected for delivery to that agent is likely to be completed in the time remaining until the scheduled break. As another example, an agent selection process in the call center may be modified for a designated period of time before a scheduled break such that the agent selected to process a given call is one likely to complete the call in the time remaining until the scheduled break. The designated time period may vary depending on factors such as the type of scheduled event, or the type of agent. As another example, the modified selection process may run continuously, such that the stored agent schedule information is always active as a consideration in call selection and agent selection. The call center may be configured to select a call or other communication without reference to the stored agent schedule information under specified conditions, such as, for example, a staffing shortfall or an unusually heavy call volume.

Abstract: A rear suspension (10) for mountain bikes comprises a rigid link (46) pivotally mounted at opposed ends thereof to a lower rear portion of a main bicycle frame (14) and at a lower front portion of a bicycle swingarm (16).  The rigid link (46) allows for relative displacements between the main bicycle frame (14) and the bicycle swingarm (16) along two degrees of freedom and, more particularly, for displacements in an area defined by the position of the two pivots (P1, P2) with respect to a rear wheel axle (WA), by the spacing between the two pivots (P1, P2) and also by the possible deformation of a spring (48) provided between the main frame (14) and the swingarm (16). A leaf spring (48) may be used within a shock absorber system which also includes a damper in order to limit relative displacements between the main frame (14) and the swingarm (16) upon impact of the rear wheel with an obstacle.

Filed: 1994-12-15
Abstract: The invention provides a method of operating a television receiver having a synchronous demodulator controlled by a frequency and phase locked loop for locking to a pilot signal in a tuned television signal, the frequency and phase lock loop including an AFC filter. The method comprises tuning a television signal, commencing a start-up interval of predetermined duration, and injecting a current into an output node of the AFC filter for producing a filter characteristic which prevents the phase response of the frequency and phase locked loop from reaching 180° during the start-up interval. By another aspect a television receiver for tuning a television signal including a pilot signal includes a frequency and phase locked loop controlled synchronous demodulator for locking to the pilot signal. A microprocessor develops an AFC Defeat signal defining a start-up interval, and an AFC filter is provided in the frequency and phase locked loop. A charge pump is coupled to the AFC filter; the charge pump being activated by the AFC Defeat signal during the start-up interval for injecting a current into an output node of the AFC filter, for producing a filter characteristic which precludes the phase response of the frequency and phase locked loop from reaching 180°.

Abstract: <<Nous sommes d'accords de dire qu'une personne édenté porte bien sûr des prothèses dentaires complètes. De nos jours, il existe des implants dentaire s dont ceux-ci sont vissés dans l'os des maxillaires supérieurs ou inférieurs. Sur ces implants, sont vissé des piliers en titane sortant de la gencive, possédant différentes longueurs , selon l'épaisseur de l'os des maxillaires. Vissé sur ces piliers, il y a une prothèse dentaire fixe laissant un espace entre la gencive et la prothèse ou une barre en titane da ns le cas d'une prothèse amovible. Le nettoyage de la prothèse dentaire s'impose bien sûr mais aussi pour les piliers puisque ceux-ci sont à l'air libre et risque de s'y déposer du tartre ou calcaire. Dans la présente invention, la brosse d'implantologie 3 en 1, e st en forme de crochet et recouverte de poils de nylon, est conçue pour l'hygiène des piliers dentaires. On y insère le pilier par l'ouverture du crochet de la brosse. El le permet de brosser efficacement tout le tour du pilier en une seule étape.>></SDO AB>

Title: Frame-based audio coding with video/audio data synchronization by audio sample rate conversion
Inventor: FIELDER LOUIS DUNN
IPC: G10L25/00
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: Several audio signal processing techniques may be used in various combinations to improve the quality of audio represented by an information stream formed by splice editing two or more other information streams. The techniques are particularly useful in applications that bundle audio information with video information. In one technique, gain-control words conveyed with the audio information stream are used to interpolate playback sound levels across a splice. In another technique, special filterbanks or forms of TDAC transforms are used to suppress aliasing artifacts on either side of a splice. In yet another technique, special filterbanks or crossfade window functions are used to optimize the attenuation of spectral splatter created at a splice. In a further technique, audio sample rates are converted according to frame lengths and rates to allow audio information to be bundled with, for example, video information. In yet a further technique, audio blocks are dynamically aligned so that proper synchronization can be maintained across a splice. An example for 48 kHz audio with NTSC video is discussed.
