Patent CA-2556036-A1 (CA)
Title: Transmission of notifications for broadcast and multicast services
Inventor: VAYANOS ALKINOOS HECTOR
IPC: H04N21/6405
Filed: 2005-02-11
Abstract: To transmit notification indicators for broadcast and multicast services, a base station maps the services to random sequences based on their identifiers.  The base station generates the random sequence for each service based on a hash function or a PN generator and the service identifier. Each random sequence is associated with a specific location for sending a notification indicator in each frame. The locations for the notification indicators for each random sequence are randomized with respect to the locations for the notification indicators for each remaining random sequence. This randomness characteristic reduces the likelihood of false alarm. For each service, the base station sets the notification indicators to the same notification value in each modification period. The base station transmits the notification indicators for each service at the random locations determined by the random sequence for the service.

Title: New intravenous drug administration and blood sampling model in the awake rat
Inventor: NIJSEN MARIA JOHANNA MAGDALENA
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2005-05-24
Abstract: There is a continuing need for increased throughput in the examination of new chemical entities (NCEs) in terms of the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. The aim was to validate a new study method which allows a higher throughput, the examination of inter-animal variability and a reduction in the numbers of animals needed for routine bioavailability studies of NCEs in awake rats. The design uses a new method for intravenous (iv) administration via the saphenous vein in combination with serial blood sampling via the tail vein. The multiple sampling method was compared with single sampling (decapitation) and the effect on haematocrit (Hct) levels was studied. Direct injection in the saphenous vein was compared to iv administration using an indwelling jugular catheter. Using structural different CE's, it was shown that a combination of direct injection via the saphenous vein and multiple sampling from the tail vein produces comparable plasma concentrations and subsequent PK results to the comparator methods. Furthermore, Hct levels remained within recommended levels using a total blood sampling volume of up to 2.1 ml per day. The new technique increases throughput by reducing the time required for preparative surgery, increases the quality by allowing inter-animal comparison of major PK  parameters as concentration time curves can be collected from each animal and reduces the number of animals required.

Patent CA-2567734-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LINDSEY BRYAN J
IPC: B65H18/26
Filed: 2005-06-02
Abstract: A method controls the response rate and profile of a variable parameter. The method determines an error value for a first variable parameter as the difference between a first parameter set point and a first parameter analog value. An output, controlled by a first variable-process-parameter control loop, adjusts according to the determined error value to adjust the parameter analog value and thereby reduce the error value at a response rate. The first variable-process-parameter control loop has a gain. The gain of the first variable-process-parameter control loop determines the response rate and the response profile. The analog value of a second variable parameter determines the gain. Adjusting the response rate of the control loop may provide a means of adjusting an error correction response profile of the first variable parameter.

Title: Delphyne oracle
Inventor: WILLIAMS BRIAN SAMUEL
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2006-11-21
Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to be used as both a marketing and educational tool.  The DELPHYNE ORACLE allows the creation of self-perpetuating storylines for any given literary material. This invention allows the user to thereto sort, replace and manipulate the pattern and order of given material, using allegorical and mythological substitutions. In its original inception, it is used to rearrange the prophecies of Nostradamus into immeasurable potential storylines. The DELPHYNE ORACLE  consists primarily of a numbered matrix format, developed to mimic the keys of the piano. Using a predetermined integer, this invented process rearranges the given subject matter, and makes substitutions based on the users input creating new and unique subject material.     Material is first divided into individual sentences, then grouped into four sentence stanza's. Each sentence is then assigned a unique numeral value. Sentences are then grouped into grid sections of 88 sentences as per a grid design of 12 columns and 8 rows. Each row is assigned a roman numeral, and each column is assigned a numeral.  The end result is a logical outline of the written material, grouped into as many grids as necessary, each containing unique numeral combinations identifying the associated sentences.     Users then select an integer which will be used three times to rearrange the material, so as to continually develop new and unique sequences of storylines.     Future amendments and petitions to this patent application will include the goals of integrating the system into software applications and board games for both purposes of entertainment and education. In its current use the DELPYNE ORACLE is geared for the creation of advertising and marketing ideas.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing multiple wireless communication services in a receiver (100). A receiver (100) receives more than one wireless communication service simultaneously via a wireless interface. Each service is transmitted via a different carrier frequency band. The multiple received carrier signals are down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) band using a mixer (110, 116) and a local oscillator (LO). The LO and sampling frequencies are adjusted such that the converted IF band signals of the input signals are spectrally adjacent or overlapping each other to some degree.  SINAD of the services is measured at each of a plurality of spectrally overlapping conditions. The LO frequencies and the sampling frequency are then adjusted based on the SINAD measurement results.
