Patent CA-2358542-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BYERLY BAXTER H
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1999-02-03
Abstract: A method and system for generating advisory messages to pharmacy patients includes appending patient-specific information to a data record containing normally transmitted information. The data record is transmitted between a third party computer and a pharmacy computer during a pharmacy transaction.  The data record transmitted to the pharmacy computer is captured by an advisory computer as the data record is received by the pharmacy computer or after the data record is transmitted to the pharmacy computer, and the patient-specific information is extracted from the captured data record. The advisory computer generates an advisory message based on the extracted patient-specific information, and it transmits the generated advisory message to a pharmacy printer. The advisory computer includes a memory containing a data structure for storing the patient-specific information, the normally transmitted information, and the generated advisory message. A computer program product includes a computer storage medium and a computer program code mechanism embedded in the computer storage medium for causing a computer to generate an advisory message. The computer program code mechanism includes a first computer code device configured to append the patient-specific information, a second computer code device configured to capture the data record transmitted to the pharmacy computer, a third computer code devise configured to extract the patient-specific information from the captured data record, a fourth computer code device configured to generate the advisory message based on the extracted patient specific information, and a fifth computer code device configured to transmit the generated advisory message to the pharmacy printer.

Title: Ultra-light computer system
Inventor: MCLEAN KEVIN
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2001-11-02
Abstract: The Ultra Light Computer system redefines portability by minimizing the hardware in the portable unit. Current portable computer systems are bulky, heavy, and difficult to transport. The Ultra-Light Computer contains only the essential computing hardware and few or no peripherals, thereby allowing it to be extremely light and portable. The computer operates only when coupled with one of various docking stations which contain all input and output peripherals: the Fixed Docking Station; the Portable Docking Station; the Palm Top Docking Station; the Cellular Phone Docking Station; and the Multiple Docking Station.  The docking stations replace the second, third and fourth computers currently being used by many computer operators today so that only one Ultra-Light Computer will be needed for computing at home, office or when traveling. Under this system, portable computing is vastly more powerful and the owner always has all of his or her data and programs readily available. The ease and cost of upgrades are improved by this system.

Title: Process and intermediates for preparing escitalopram
Inventor: TSE HOI LUN ALLAN
IPC: C07C213/02
Filed: 2002-04-09
Abstract: The antidepressant drug Escitalopram is prepared from 5-bromophthalide via the diol intermediate (4-bromo-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)-(4-fluorophenyl)methanol.  The racemic diol intermediate is converted to an enantiomerically enriched form by first converting the diol to a monoester intermediate and then reacting the monoester intermediate with an optically active acid, most preferably (+~di-p-toluoyl tartaric acid, to form a salt. The salt is then crystallized to recover an enantiomerically enriched, crystalline form thereof. The monoester intermediate is preferably formed by reacting the racemic diol intermediate with an acid or a reactive acid derivative which, in a particularly preferred embodiment, is acetic anhydride.

Title: Dna encoding the human serine protease c-e
Inventor: QI JENSON
IPC: C12P21/08
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: Here we describe the molecular identification of a cDNA encoding a novel serine protease we have termed protease C-E. The deduced amino acid sequence, and its alignment with other well-characterized serine proteases indicates that it is a member of the S1 serine protease family. We have found that the protease C-E mRNA is expressed in pancreas, placenta, prostate, small intestine, stomach, spleen, fibroblasts and epidermis, as well as in certain regions of the brain i.e., cerebellum, cerebral cortex, pituitary and hippocampus. Enzymatically active protease C-E, as produced using the methodologies described herein, is amenable to further biochemical analyses for the identification of physiological substrates and specific modulators.

Title: Location position system for relay assisted tracking
Inventor: CHIEN CHARLES
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: An extensible short-range tracking system is disclosed. The tracking system disclosed is a multi-level tracking sys-tem. At the first level is an RF tag, which is a transmit-only unit that transmits information including minimally an identification number. The transmission from the RF tags are sporadic with timing depending upon the application at implementation. Generally, the transmission timing comprises a transmission, which is repeated periodically at random times. Transmissions from the RF tags are received in a series of relays. The relays may calculate the position of the tags by knowing the position of the relays and the time difference of arrival of the signals from the RF tags by several relays or may pass the information needed to calculate position to a base station. Alternately, the RF tags may generate position information and transmit that information along with the RF tag identifier to the relays. The relays, which may be networked among themselves, then relay the information from the tags to a base station unit. The base station unit may be part of various applications such as a tire control system in a military application or an inventory system in an industrial application.

Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: A through-air drying paper making apparatus is provided comprising a twin- fabric forming section, a water-removing section arranged downstream of the forming section, and a web transfer device disposed between the forming section and the water-removing section. The forming section includes a formi ng roll, a pair of fabrics guided to travel about a portion of the circumferenc e of the forming roll, and a headbox operable to deposit a slurry between the fabrics so as to form a paper web therebetween. Preferably, one of the fabri cs in the forming section comprises a through-air drying (TAD) fabric arranged to carry the paper web through the water-removing section, while the other fabr ic comprises a forming wire. At the web transfer device, the paper web is separated from the forming wire and the paper web then carried on the TAD fabric through the water-removing section. The water-removing section includ es at least one through-air dryer for at least partially drying the paper web. Most preferably, the forming section and the web transfer device are arrange d such that the forming wire and the TAD fabric, with the paper web sandwiched  therebetween, travel along a substantially straight and relatively short pat h between the forming roll and the web transfer device, thereby resulting in minimal directional change of the paper web after formation thereof about th e forming roll and prior to separation of the paper web from the forming wire.  An associated method is also provided.
