Title: Simplified socket structure of miniature light bulb sets
Inventor: SHU KUO FEN
IPC: F21S4/00
Filed: 2000-06-20
Abstract: A simplified socket structure of miniature light bulb sets primarily comprises a shell element and a holding element that is provided with a pair of opposite resilient arms to secure a miniature light bulb in position. When the holding element along with a miniature light bulb seated therein is inserted into the shell element, the resilient arms are urged by the walls of the shell element to move toward each other to firmly grasp the light bulb. Thus the miniature light bulb socket according to the invention has the advantages of simplified structures and promoted gripping effect.

Abstract: In a sequence homology detection aspect of the invention, a computer-based method of detecting homologies between a plurality of sequences in a database and a query sequence comprises the following steps.  First, the method includes accessing patterns associated with the database, each pattern representing at least a portion of one or more sequences in the database. Next, the query sequence is compared to the patterns to detect whether one or more portions of the query sequence are homologous to portions of the sequences of the database represented by the patterns. Then, a score is generated for each sequence detected to be homologous to the query sequence, wherein the sequence score is based on individual scores generated in accordance with each homologous portion of the sequence detected, and the sequence score represents a degree of homology between the query sequence and the detected sequence.

Title: Divalent antibody fragments
Inventor: KING DAVID JOHN
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: Divalent antibody fragments are described, each of which has one or more interchain bridges containing a synthetic or naturally occurring polymer selected from a polyalkylene, polyalkenylene, polyoxyalkylene or polysaccharide. Each bridge may be the residue of a homo- or heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent and serves to link two heavy chains in each antibody fragment via the sulphur atoms of cysteine residues present in the chains. Each fragment may be attached to one or more effector or reporter molecules, and is of use in therapy or diagnostics where it has markedly improved binding and/or pharmacokinetic properties when compared to other antibody fragments which have the same number and type of polymer molecules but in which the polymer molecules are randomly attached.

Patent CA-2334772-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANGELIDIS JEAN
IPC: F16P3/14
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: The invention concerns an individual protective device comprising at least one glove (20), a garment or a protective accessory equipped with electronic sensors and/or circuits (22) transmitting coded monitoring signals, electrically connected to an array or a network of distributed antennae. The whole assembly is mounted on perfectly flexible printed circuits, and adapted sensors are provided for verifying whether the protective device is being worn. A first detector is mounted on a dangerous machine to be protected, and picks up a signal transmitted by radio channel, so as to stop the machine and trigger an alarm signal if a part of the body, in particular the hand, penetrates into the tool travel range. A second detector is housed in a reading zone for controlling the permanent transmission of coded signals coming from the device. The coded signal transmission can be inhibited if the access code acquired by the operator on the machine keyboard does not match.  The operator must be protected against electrical, radioactive or thermal risks, and in such a case the device comprises distributed sensors which analyse the electric fields, the radioactivity or the heat flux, and trigger off various alert levels. Moreover, even if the stoppage or reaction time may exceed the endangering times, a screen is made to intervene between the operator and the danger.

Title: Input coupling for reducing the wavelength dependency of an integrated optical filter
Inventor: HNATIW ALAN J P
IPC: G02B6/12
Filed: 2001-04-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical filter comprising an integrated wavelength dispersive element having an input for providing temperature compensation, particularly for providing passive temperature compensation in an arrayed waveguide grating. The present invention has found that by providing an arrayed waveguide grating having a thermally responsive pivotal input structure for changing an angle of a collimated input signal launched into a focusing lens, the input point can be selected in response to changing temperature in order to compensate for thermal drift of the center wavelength. Further, the present invention has found that by providing a reflective lens assembly for focusing an input signal at a selected input point of the input planar waveguide, alignment and tuning of an input and assembly can be improved and simplified.  As an additional advantage, variable coupling parameters can be incorporated into a reflective coupling including input position, waveguide taper and planar waveguide length increment to provide relatively simple tuning in an integrated device.

Patent CA-2348779-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SOUKUP GARRETT A
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: Multidomain polynucleotides responsive to signalling agents are designed and  constructed to have at least three domains which can be partially or completely overlapping or nonoverlapping: an actuator (catalytic or reporter ) domain, a bridging domain, and a receptor domain. In a typical embodiment, a  signalling agent such as a chemical ligand interacts with the receptor domai n, which changes conformation or otherwise influences the bridging domain so th at the activity, catalytic, or reporter function of the actuator domain is stimulated or inhibited. In some ribozyme embodiments, for example, ligand- specific molecular sensors composed of RNA are created by coupling pre- existing catalytic and receptor domains via novel structural bridges which function such that binding of a ligand to the receptor domain triggers a conformational change within the bridge, and this structural reorganization dictates the activity of the adjoining ribozyme. Processes for allostericall y selecting other multidomain polynucleotides typically involve mixing and matching domains to optimize binding or other signal response and/or reporte r activity.
