Title: Composition and methods for the detection of cripto-3
Inventor: TIZARD RICHARD J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2007-04-30
Abstract: The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the pseudogene TDGF3 (Cripto-3) is expressed in cells and, in particular, that TDGF3 overexpression is associated with transformation of a cell, e.g., TDGF3 is overexpressed in cancer cell lines and cells from tumor tissue.

Title: Vacuum line clean-out separator system
Inventor: BENNER STEPHEN J
IPC: B01D50/00
Filed: 2007-10-05
Abstract: A vacuum clean-out system including a separator chamber and associated collection chamber for removing liquid material and debris from a vacuum output and providing a vacuum return line free of contaminants. A vacuum exhaust line is coupled to a cyclonic separator chamber that induces a circular rotation within the incoming vacuum stream, causing the liquid and debris to fall to the botto while the "clean" vacuum is drawn upwards into a return line. The collection chamber is at the same negative pressure as the separator chamber so that accumulating liquid and debris easily drains into the collection chamber. A sensor associated with the collection chamber determines when the collection chamber is full. At that point, the separator chamber is isolated from the collection chamber, the collection chamber is vented and the accumulated material is discharged and/or analyzed. The separator chamber can continue the vacuum clean-out process uninterrupted.
Patent CA-2668720-A1 (CA)
Title: Osmotic heat engine
Inventor: MC CUTCHEON JEFFREY
IPC: B01D61/02
Filed: 2007-11-08
Abstract: A method of converting thermal energy into mechanical work that uses a semi- permeable membrane to convert osmotic pressure into electrical power. A closed cycle pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) process known as an osmotic heat engine (OHE) uses a concentrated ammonia-carbon dioxide draw solution to create high osmotic pressures which generate water flux through a semi-permeable membrane against a hydraulic pressure gradient. The depressurization of the increased draw solution volume in a turbine produces electrical power. The process is maintained in steady state operation through the separation of the diluted draw solution into a re-concentrated draw solution and deionized water working fluid, both for reuse in the osmotic heat engine.

Title: Method and apparatus for approximating hair and similar objects during animation
Inventor: BORAC SILVIU
IPC: G06T13/00
Filed: 2009-08-20
Abstract: Simulating dynamics (e.g., physical effects of inertia, forces, wind) on strands (e.g., hair) during computer based animation requires quick and accurate approximations of mathematical curves. Each strand is initially represented as a B-spline curve. Line segments approximating the curve are created by using affine combinations based on the curve's control vertices. Dynamics simulation is performed on the line segment approximation. Once an approximated strand is simulated, it is converted back into a B-spine curve representation for downstream processes, such as rendering. The rendering process displays the simulated strand to the animator.

Abstract: A method for applying a radio frequency identification tag to an object, e-g., a container, by means of an insert molding process or in-mold decorating process. Such a method can be utilized to simplify the manufacturing processes for applying a radio frequency identification tag to an object, e.g., a container. The molding process can be a conventional molding process, such as, for example, injection molding, blow molding, compression molding, transfer molding, and rotational molding. However, the conventional molding process is modified by inserting a radio frequency identification tag into the cavity of the mold prior to forming the molded article. The modified molding process results in a molded article having a radio frequency identification tag encapsulated by the polymeric material of the molded article.
