Title: Windshield scraper having an arm brace
Inventor: JOHNSTON DARREN T
IPC: B60S1/04
Filed: 2011-04-13
Abstract: A hand and arm manipulated scraper for a windshield comprising: a) a blade portion having a windshield contact edge portion and an opposite handle end; b) an elongate handle portion having a blade end portion, attached to the blade portion and an opposite grip end portion to be held with the hand; and, c) an arm brace portion terminating in an arm cover which covers a top side portion of the forearm extending therefrom down and the around the arm and having an inner end portion attaching to the grip end portion of the handle portion beneath the palm of one's hand. When the blade portion is pressed down on the windshield while the grip end portion is grasped beneath the palm of the hand, the wrist is prevented from bending up by downward pressure of the arm cover on the top side portion of the arm. In a preferred aspect of this invention the arm brace portion extends down and around opposite lateral sides of the arm so that when the blade portion is pressed down on the windshield the scraper does not tend to twist around the arm.

Abstract: Addresses are searched in an address book on a communication device in response to various context information. A category is defined from a keyword. A context is determined. The address book is searched using the keywords and/or category and or/context to locate matching contacts. Matching contacts may be presented in a user interface, e.g., in accordance with presentation rules responsive to the context. The method may further look-up (and present) one or more addresses (e.g. advertisements) matching the keyword and/or category and/or context from a remote service. The context may be data defined from any of time, day of the week, communication device location, communication device velocity, device profile and category of a matching contact. Device profile may be determined using profile determining rules and contextual data. The method may periodically collect contextual data and define a profile determining rule in response to a pattern in the collected data.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a nucleic acid detection device and method that incorporates bio-nanosensor technology to detect duplex DNA. The device is particularly applicable in detecting the presence or absence of duplex DNA  and its correlation to the diagnosis of infectious diseases. In one embodiment, the infectious disease is Lyme disease or a bacterial or viral infection. The device comprises a bio-nanosensor element comprising ssDNA primed nanotubes, either single walled or multi-walled. The method comprises contacting the bio-nanosensor element with a test solution potentially containing DNA of interest. DNA of interest that hybridizes to the ssDNA results in a measurable change in the electrical properties of the bio-nanosensor. Correlations between the results provided by the device and the presence of disease states can result in rapid diagnosis of diseases such as Lyme disease or foodborne infections such as salmonellosis.

Title: Communication device and method for coherent updating of collated message listings
Inventor: SUTEDJA DARSONO
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2011-06-13
Abstract: A device, system and method are provided for presenting message threads in a device display where messages may have a persistent or intermediate status. A list of message threads is displayed, collated according to a given message thread attribute, is displayed. When a new message is detected belonging to one of the message threads, if the message has a persistent status it is added to the message thread and the collating message thread attribute for that thread is updated. If the message has an intermediate status, it may be added to the message thread but the collating message thread attribute for that message is deferred until the intermediate status is changed to a persistent status. The collated list of message threads is then updated. By deferring updates to the collating message thread attribute when a message has an intermediate status, disruption to the order of the collated list is mitigated.

Title: Novel centromeric protein shugoshin
Inventor: WATANABE YOSHINORI
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 2004-11-24
Abstract: The present invention is to provide meiosis-specific novel kinetochore protein Sgo1 (shugoshin) derived from fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and a homologue or paralogue thereof having a regulatory activity of chromosome segregation; and DNAs encoding them; as a factor ensuring the retention of unidirection and cohesion in sister centromere at meiosis I in cooperation with cohesin. To elucidate the proteins protecting Rec8 during anaphase, the present inventor screened in fission yeast genes for a gene that inhibits mitotic growth and prevents sister chromatid from the separation at anaphase, when co-expressed with Rec8. In this approach, meiosis-specific protein Sgo1 that protects (Shugo) centromeric Rec8 from the degradation at anaphase I was indentified. Further, a budding yeast Sgo1 homologue and a fission yeast mitotic paralogue Sgo2 were identified.

Title: Spectrometer readout configuration
Inventor: VOLANTHEN MARK
IPC: G01J9/00
Filed: 2009-10-14
Abstract: A method of operating a spectrometer to determine the wavelength of an optical signal, in particular for determining the resonant wavelength of an optical fibre Bragg grating. The spectrometer comprises an array of photosensitive pixels each of which generates an output signal in response to the intensity of light incident on the pixel, and a refractive element arranged to direct light to a particular position in the array depending on the wavelength of the light. The method involves selecting a first group of pixels in the array by reference to an expected wavelength distribution of the optical signal and monitoring the output signals from the first group of pixels. On the basis of the output signals from the first group of pixels a second group of pixels is selected and the wavelength of the optical signal is determined from the output signals of the second group of pixels. The method has the advantage that the wavelength of the optical signal can be determined without scanning every pixel in the array individually.
