Patent CA-2548164-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAJ BALBIR
IPC: G01N33/558
Filed: 2004-12-10
Abstract: The present invention provides an assay kit for detecting an analyte of interest in a sample. The kit comprises a) a reporter species; b) a labeled species having first and second binding regions, wherein the first binding region is capable of binding to the analyte of interest and the second binding region is capable of binding to the reporter species; c) an immobilized species capable of binding to the first binding region of the labeled species;  and d) immobilized capture reagent capable of binding to the reporter species.  The arrangement is such that the sample is contacted with the labeled species, is then contacted with the immobilized species and is subsequently contacted with the immobilized capture reagent, the reporter species being added prior to exposure of the sample to the immobilized capture reagent. If no analyte is present in the sample, the labeled species becomes bound to the immobilized species and is therefore unable to bind to the immobilized capture reagent. If analyte is present in the sample, the analyte binds to the labeled species such that the labeled species is unable to bind to the immobilized species but can bind to the immobilized capture reagent via the reporter species, the presence of the analyte thus being determined by the presence of labeled species bound to the immobilized capture reagent via the reporter species.

Patent CA-2553530-A1 (CA)
Title: Seed tube for seed metering apparatus
Inventor: STUFFLEBEAM JOHN F
IPC: A01C7/08
Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: A seed tube for an agricultural implement having a seed metering mechanism for uniformly dispensing seeds. The seed tube defined an enclosed curved seed pathway extending between opposite ends of the tube. To promote control over the seeds passing through the tube, the tube has a smooth but decreasing cross-sectional configuration between the ingress and egress ends of the tube. The tube generally includes a front wall, a rear wall and a pair of side walls. The front wall is generally separated into an upper and lower portion. An opening in the front wall, which is provided to receive a monitoring device, is associated with the lower front wall portion. In addition, the lower front wall portion is stepped forward relative to the upper front wall portion. The enclosed seed pathway further includes a narrowed front edge extending in an upward direction from the egress end of the tube along some section of the front wall. The narrowed front edge enhances control over the seeds such that individual seeds passing through the tube and deposited to the ground have equidistant spacings between the seeds on the ground. The stepped forward arrangement for the lower front wall portion also allows a monitoring device to be used without disrupting the flow of seeds in the seed tube.

Title: Method for making a central unwinding roll and resulting roll
Inventor: HUNGLER JOEL
IPC: B65H19/28
Filed: 2005-04-29
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the production of a coreless roll (110′) including a sheet (110) of flexible, not moist, material such as a fibrous absorbent material, produced by winding of the sheet in one direction and rolling this sheet about a winding axis perpendicular to such direction, and including a central dispensing leader forming a projection along such axis relative to at least one part of the plane of one of the sides of the roll. The method is characterized in that the leader is produced by displacing a portion of the end of the sheet (110) before winding so that one of the longitudinal edges of the sheet forms an angle (α) other than zero relative to such direction of winding, after which winding of the sheet about the axis is initiated. By preference several sheets are produced by longitudinal cutting of a wide sheet. The solution may be applied for production in particular of general wipe rolls, hand towel rolls, or toilet paper rolls.

Patent CA-2577689-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CARPENTER PAUL MARCUS
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2007-02-09
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for automatically selecting a wireless communication network by user equipment using a "steered" PLMN are disclosed . A home network identification, a list of prioritized roaming network identifications, and a steered network identification are stored in memory (e.g. a SIM or USI M) of the user equipment. In an automatic network selection procedure, a scanning operation is performed to receive one or more network identifications corresponding to one or more available wireless communication networks in a coverage area. The user equipment attempts to select a wireless communicatio n network in the coverage area by comparing the received network identificatio ns from the scanning operation with the steered network identification. If a match between a received network identification and the steered network identification is identified, a wireless communication network corresponding to the received network identification that matches the steered network identification is selected and registered with by the user equipment. This procedure is performed in li eu of use of the list of prioritized roaming network identifications of the user equipment. By setting the steered network identification via an over-the-air programmin g procedure when necessary (e.g. on a per regionbasis), a home network operato r may "steer" user equipment to any desired network immediately and efficientl y.

Title: Nuclear magnetic resonance measurement techniques in non-uniform fields
Inventor: HUERLIMANN MARTIN
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 2007-07-25
Abstract: Methods and pulse sequences for facilitating nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in grossly inhomogeneous fields. Methods and pulse sequences according to the invention may be used to accurately measure variables such as transverse relaxation time, longitudinal relaxation time, and diffusion, without the need for data at long recovery time, thereby allowing for faster measurements. In addition, methods and pulse sequences according to embodiment of the invention may allow simultaneous encoding of information in both the amplitude and the shape of echoes, so as to allow a single-shot measurement of multiple variables, e.g., both transverse relaxation time (from the decay of echo amplitudes) and longitudinal relaxation time (from the echo shape).  CPMG detection may be used to overcome the often limited signal-to-noise ratio in grossly inhomogeneous fields.
