Patent CA-2649621-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CAVALIERE FREDERICK
IPC: B29C70/44
Filed: 2007-03-20
Abstract: A stiffened panel made of a composite includes a skin and at least one stiffener having a more or less closed volume. In order for the fibres of the composite to be held in place during fibre deposition and during pressure application while the resin of the composite is being cured, a moulding core is placed between the fibres at the position of the more or less closed volume of the stiffener. The moulding core includes a flexible bladder filled with a granular solid material, the thermal expansion coefficient of which is close to that of the composite used to produce the stiffened panel. The pressure in the bladder is increased before the composite is cured, so as to compensate for the forces applied for compressing these fibres during production of the panel.

Abstract: Methods and devices configured for analyzing sensing vectors in an implantable cardiac stimulus system. In an illustrative example, a first sensing vector is analyzed to determine whether it is suitable, within given threshold conditions, for use in cardiac event detection and analysis. If so, the first sensing vector may be selected for detection and analysis. Otherwise, and in other examples, one or more additional sensing vectors are analyzed. A polynomial may be used during analysis to generate a metric indicating the suitability of the sensing vector for use in cardiac event detection and analysis. Additional illustrative examples include systems and devices adapted to perform at least these methods, including implantable medical devices, and/or programmers for implantable medical devices, and/or systems having both programmers and implantable medical devices that cooperatively analyze sensing vectors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a methodology of producing antibodies that recognize peptides associated with a tumorigenic or disease state, wherein the peptides are displayed in the context of HLA molecules. These antibodies will mimic the specificity of a T cell receptor (TCR) but will have higher binding affinity such that the molecules may be used as therapeutic, diagnostic and research reagents. The method of producing a T-cell receptor mimic of the present invention includes identifying a peptide of interest, wherein the peptide of interest is capable of being presented by an MHC molecule. Then, an immunogen comprising at least one peptide/MHC complex is formed, wherein the peptide of the peptide/MHC complex is the peptide of interest. An effective amount of the immunogen is then administered to a host for eliciting an immune response, and serum collected from the host is assayed to determine if desired antibodies that recognize a three-dimensional presentation of the peptide in the binding groove of the MHC molecule are being produced. The desired antibodies can differentiate the peptide/MHC complex from the MHC molecule alone, the peptide alone, and a complex of MHC and irrelevant peptide. Finally, the desired antibodies are isolated.

Title: Method for realizing backpressure of masses of ports and device thereof
Inventor: TAN XUEFEI
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2007-12-11
Abstract: A method for realizing backpressure of masses of ports and a device realizing the method are disclosed. The method for realizing backpressure of masses of ports includes: detecting whether user data transmitted to a channelized physical port reaches a backpressure threshold, generating an idle frame or a series of idle frames when the backpressure threshold is reached; combining the idle frame with the user data which needs to be transmitted to the channelized physical port reaching the backpressure threshold, and transmitting the combined data; discarding the idle frame before the combined data enters the channelized physical port.  The idle frame is employed in the present invention to realize the backpressure. The idle frame occupies some of the transmission bandwidth and reduces the bandwidth of user data, while the idle frame does not enter the physical port. Therefore, the aim of backpressure is achieved.                                                              The bandwidth of idle frame can be pre-configured according to the requirements. After the idle frame is generated, its bandwidth can be increased or decreased smoothly based on the existence of the backpressure. The control is very easy and convenient.
