Title: Repeat sequences of the ca125 gene and their use for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions
Inventor: UNDERWOOD LOWELL
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2002-04-12
Abstract: The CA125 gene has been cloned and multiple repeat sequences including the carboxy terminus have been identified. The CA125 molecule comprises three major domains: an extracellular amino terminal domain (Domain 1); a large multiple repeat domain (Domain 2); and a carboxy terminal domain (Domain 3) which includes a transmembrane anchor with a short cytoplasmic domain. An amino terminal extension is present. The structure is dominated by a repeat domain comprising 156 amino acid repeat units, which encompass the epitope binding sites. More than 60 repeat units have been identified. The repeat units encompass the site of OC125 and M11 binding. Expression of the repeats was demonstrated. Any one of the repeat domains has the potential for use as a new gold standard for detecting and monitoring the presence of the CA125 antigen. The repeat domains and other domains also provide a basis for the development of a vaccine.

Patent CA-2448453-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMIRO MANZANO ANGEL
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2002-05-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a communication optimisation method for multi-user OFDM digital transmission systems using the electrical network. The receiver s of the equipment (1, 2) monitor the quality of the communication and estimat e the signal/noise ratio (S/N) of the uplink and downlink channel carriers. Th e user pieces of equipment (2) perform said surveillance independently of whether or not said equipment is the recipient of the transmission. The optimum transmission mode is selected using said surveillance consisting in modifying, packet by packet, the number of bits per carrier, the redundancy introduced by FEC generated error correction/detection codes, the actual FEC code and/or the transmission mode. In this way, the network can be divided u p optimally in terms of frequency and time and the transmission capacity of th e multiple pieces of user equipment can be maximised. The invention is suitabl e for point-to-multipoint bi-directional communication across the electrical network.

Title: Means for collecting garden waste
Inventor: SADLER JOHN
IPC: A47L5/00
Filed: 2004-01-22
Abstract: The present invention provides a blower-vacuum device having means for collecting garden waste, the garden waste collecting means comprising: an attachment part (42) for receiving a garden waste receptacle; and a garden waste receptacle (30) for removable engagement with the attachment part; wherein the attachment part (42) comprises an arcuate groove (44); and the garden waste receptacle (30) comprises a band (33) defining a mouth (35) of the receptacle for sliding engagement with the groove. Thus the receptacle may be easily removed from the attachment part of the blower-vacuum device merely by sliding the band (33) of the receptacle out of the groove (44), whereupon the receptacle may then be emptied of garden waste by tipping it upside-down. In a preferred embodiment, the band (33) is made of a resilient material, whereby when the band is inserted into the groove (44), the band is constrained by the groove and the mouth (35) of the receptacle defined by the band is made narrower than when the band is withdrawn from the groove. Thus when the band is withdrawn from the groove (44), the mouth (35) of the receptacle opens out (arrows R and S), making it easier to empty.

IPC: B29C45/28
Filed: 2002-03-29
Abstract: A molding nozzle (10) controls the flow of material from a source of plastic melt to an outlet that communicates with a gate (30) to a mold cavity (12).  The nozzle (10) contains a valve pin (38) that includes a guide section (40) and a valve end (42), and is movable toward and away from the gate (30) to open and close the gate (30) selectively. The valve pin (38) is guided for movement by guide surfaces (64) on inwardly-extending vanes (62) within the nozzle (10), such that the guide surfaces (64) engage the guide section (40) of the valve pin (38). The valve end (42) of the valve pin (38) has a smaller diameter than that of the guide section (40), so that the valve section (42) is free-floating to allow annular flow in the guide surface region to minimize the likelihood of formation of flow lines in the molded part.

Abstract: Méthode et dispositif pour évaluer dans le même temps et avec le même appareillage, des paramètres physiques tels que la perméabilité absolue et la porosité, de fragments extraits dãun milieu poreux naturel ou artificiel fragmenté. On mesure la porosité des fragments au moyen de tests de pression à lãhélium suivant un protocole connu en soi. Lãenceinte (1) qui les contient, est mise en communication avec un réservoir (11) de volume connu également, contenant de lãhélium sous une pression connue. A lãéquilibre des pressions, on peut déduire la valeur du volume solide. On mesure également le volume enveloppe de roche et la masse en fragments. En combinant ces mesures, on détermine la porosité des échantillons ainsi que la densité de la roche. On mesure ensuite leur perméabilité en les immergeant dans un fluide visqueux et en mettant lãenceinte en communication avec du fluide visqueux sous une pression définie contenu dans un récipient (9) de manière à  comprimer le gaz piégé dans les pores de la roche, suivant deux protocoles différents. Par le biais dãune modélisation de lãévolution de la pression ou du volume dans lãenceinte, et dãun ajustement itératif, on détermine les valeurs des paramètres physiques.  Applications par exemple à des mesures pétrophysiques à partir de déblais de forage ou de carottes concassées.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of improving or prolonging a subject's immune response to a vaccine composition comprising heat shock protein (HSP)-peptide complexes or alpha-2-macro globulin (.alpha.2M)-peptide complexes (hereinafter "HSP/.alpha.2M vaccine composition"). The HSP-peptide complexes or .alpha.2M-peptide complexes of the vaccine composition comprise HSP(s) or .alpha.2M complexed to a component against which an immune response is desired to be induced. In particular the invention is directed to methods of improving or prolonging a subject's immune response comprising administering an HSP/.alpha.2M vaccine composition in conjunction with a preparation comprising HSP or .alpha.2M, alone or complexed to a peptide that is not the component against which an immune response is desired to be induced (hereinafter "HSP/.alpha.2M preparation"), i.e., the HSP/.alpha.2M preparation does not display the immunogenicity of the component. In particular, HSP/.alpha.2M  vaccine compositions are administered in conjunction with HSP/.alpha.2M  preparation to improve or prolong the immune response of a subject against an infectious disease or cancer.
