Patent CA-2633233-A1 (CA)
Title: Child car seat
Inventor: HARTENSTINE CURTIS M
IPC: A47C1/08
Filed: 2006-09-13
Abstract: A car seat is formed with a seat member pivotally connected to a base member for positional adjustment in desired reclined positions controlled by an intuitively operable adjustment mechanism.  The seat back is pivotally connected to the seat member to be oriented in a shipping position or an operative position. A  latching mechanism secures the seat back to the seat member in the operative position. The seat back is provided with a head rest that is vertically movable relative to the seat back to uncover routing openings in the seat back as the child grows and the head rest is positioned accordingly. The harness is routed through selected routing openings in the seat back before passing over a hanger at the top of the seat back so that the length of the harness remains constant irrespective of the positioning of the harness in conjunction with the size of the child.
Patent CA-2636266-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NUSS STEPHEN
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2006-01-12
Abstract: A guidewire for medical use such as in vascular and nonvascular systems. The guidewire made from a titanium molybdenum alloy wire with a composition of approximately 78% titanium 11.5% molybdenum 6% zirconium and 4.5% tin by weight such that it is softer than stainless steel guidewires and stiffer than NiTi alloy guidewires. The distal end of the guidewire is of a smaller diameter and softer than the proximal end and fitted with a coil for springiness such that the distal end will bend when encountering curves in the body passageways. The distal tip may be heat treated for a gradient of softness with the distal tip being the softest. The distal end may also be tapered to provide an additional gradient of softness. A distal tip on the distal end of the guidewire protects the wall of the passageway from being punctured as the guidewire travels through the passageway. The resulting guidewire has properties between those of stainless steel guidewires and NiTi alloy guidewires for better torsion and stiffness characteristics.

Title: System and method for modulating and optimizing immunotherapy
Inventor: BRETSCHER PETER ALAN
IPC: G01N33/564
Filed: 2008-11-06
Abstract: A method for modulating a subject's type of immune response to a cancer treatment. The method comprises the steps of: (a) obtaining a sample from subject; (b) assessing the sample to detect IgG antibodies or IgG isotypes in the sample;  (c) if IgG  antibodies or IgG isotypes are detected, then identifying and quantifying their expression;  (d) comparing the quantified IgG antibodies or IgG isotypes with a control to determine the changes, and characterize the immune response. The changes in expression of IgG  antibodies or IgG isotypes are indicative of the type of immune response to the cancer treatment. Steps (a) through (f) are repeated for each of a series of spaced-apart time points. The series of characterized immune responses are assessed to determine the subject's responsiveness to the cancer treatment. The cancer treatments are then modulated to affect desired changes in expression of IgG antibodies or IgG  isotypes.

IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2007-04-23
Abstract: When an inner-display predictive coding signal is generated by an interpolating method used in a conventional technique, a predictive accuracy of a pixel apart far from a boundary of a subject block is reduced, so that there is a problem of an image signal with a complex pattern which cannot be efficiently predicted. A block divider (102) divides an input image into a plurality of regions. A predictive signal generator (103) generates predictive signals for image signals included in subject regions to be subjected to processing in the regions, and uses a texture synthesizing method to form texture signals for the subject regions to generate predictive signals. A subtracter (105) seeks a differential signal between the image signal of the subject region and the predictive signal and a converter (106) and a quantizer (107) code the differential signal and generate a compressed signal.

Abstract: We provide a compressor or vacuum pump fluid intake manifold having a fluid intake and a pair of ports provided by male and female fittings that are slidably engaged to one another. The male fitting has a portion which forms a hollow plug which fits within a respective fluid intake of the compressor housing. The plug portion, or plug, is integrally molded with a longitudinal section of the male fitting member. In similar fashion, the female fitting includes a plug portion which interfaces with a fluid intake in the compressor housing. The plug portion is integrally molded with a longitudinal portion of the female fitting. In one embodiment, each of the plugs includes three extending flanges forming an integral portion of the plug. Two of the three flanges are furtherest away from the plug. These two flanges provide a contact pressure seal with portions of the compressor housing that define the fluid intakes which receive the plugs. The other plug serves to prevent the plugs from slipping out of the fluid intakes during normal use of the fluid intake manifold. Further, instead, each of the plugs can have a raised insert surface defining a groove with an O-ring and a flange integral with and extending from a surface of the plug. The O-ring provides a contact pressure seal with portions of the housing defining the compressor intake. The radially extending flange serves to inhibit the removal of the plug from the compressor intakes during normal use of the fluid manifold.
