Inventor: BOULIANNE GILLES
IPC: G10L15/08
Filed: 2009-03-27
Abstract: A method and system for detecting certain types of content, such as advertisements, using acoustical means from a media stream. The method uses two matching processes to detect and identify repeated content, the starting and end boundaries of which are then found. This content is used as the basis to find non-repeated content (such as less-frequently repeated advertisements) that are typically located in proximity to repeated content and can be evaluated using Gaussian mixture models (GMMs). The system that implements this method can be used for advertisement detection and monitoring for traditional media, such as television and radio, as well as for Internet-based media, such as streaming video, streaming audio and podcasts. The system can also be used to detect and identify copyrighted material in Internet traffic.

Title: Process and system for producing commercial quality carbon dioxide from high solids lime mud
Inventor: ROSSI ROBERT A
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2007-08-24
Abstract: The invention features methods and systems for producing commercial quality carbon dioxide (CO2) of 90% to +99% purity using, wet calcium carbonate lime mud produced in a manufacturing operation, for instance, Kraft pulp mill lime mud (a.k.a., "lime mud") as a feedstock to a multi-stage lime mud calcination process. This process may be fueled with waste water treatment plant (WWTP), sludge biomass, precipitated lignins, coal, or other low cost solid fuels. High reactivity "soft-burned" lime product ("calcine") required in the mill's chemical recovery circuit is also produced, and steam and heated boiler feed-water is generated and exported to the mill's steam distribution and generation system as well as hot process water for use in the mill's boiler house and manufacturing operation. The system for calcining calcium carbonate lime mud produced from a re-causticizing manufacturing operation and converting it to re-burned lime and CO2 comprises a calciner and a combustor linked by a moving media heat transfer (MMHT) system or apparatus. The MMHT system or apparatus thermally links separate fluid bed combustion (exothermic) and calcination (endothermic) stages with a solid particulate media. The system further comprises a flash dryer or spray dryer that utilizes exhausted heat from the calcination stage.

IPC: A61K51/00
Filed: 2007-10-01
Abstract: The present invention incorporates weakly basic substituents (pKa about 8 or greater) such as pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine and azapane moietie s in halogenated 2-nitromidazoles as a major improvement over prior art for the non-invasive detection of cellular hypoxia in normal and malignant tissu es. The invention features the use of [18F] positron emission tomography, [1 9F] magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and [19F] magnetic resonance imaging. I mprovements over prior art compounds are six-fold. 1) Salts of weakly basic reagents are highly water-soluble which facilitates administration. 2) Unrea cted reagents are rapidly cleared from systemic circulation thereby decreasi ng background noise. 3) Reagents with weakly basic substituents are concentr ated in tissue ~ 3 fold above plasma levels thereby increasing binding inten sity and enhancing signal detection. 4) Conjugate bases of weakly basic reag ents have intermediate octanol-water partition coefficients that facilitate their penetration into all tissues including brain. 5) Cellular adducts of r eagents containing weakly basic substituents are more stable than reagents o f prior art. 6) Reagents with weakly basic substituents are effective for th e detection of transient hypoxia in solid tissue.

Patent CA-2676405-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARRIOTT PHILIP
IPC: H01J49/06
Filed: 1999-09-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) in which a collision cell is employed to selectively remove unwanted artefact ions from an ion beam by causing them to interact with a reagent gas. The present invention provides a first evacuated chamber (6) at high vacuum located between an expansion chamber (3) and a second evacuated chamber (20) containing the collision cell (24). The first evacuated chamber (6) includes a first ion optical device (17). The collision cell (24) contains a second ion optical device (25). The provision of the first evacuated chamber (6) reduces the gas load on the collision cell (24), by minimising the residual pressure within the collision cell (24) that is attributable to the gas load from the plasma source (1). This serves to minimise the formation, or re-formation, of unwanted artefact ions in the collision cell (24).

Title: Method, materials and apparatus for investigating asthma using dust mite allergen
Inventor: PATEL PIYUSH RANCHODBHAI
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 2007-06-07
Abstract: The present invention comprises a method, materials and apparatus for investigating asthma in humans using dust mite allergen. The dust mite allergen is prepared to be of a controlled size such that particles are respirable, effectively aerosolized, and deliver a significant amount of allergen. The dust mite allergen is applied in a controlled manner within an environmental exposure chamber to elucidate the etiological links between dust mite allergen concentration and asthma response in humans. The environmental exposure chamber is specially-designed to promote homogeneity of allergen concentration. Preferably, the dust mite allergen preparation comprises particles having an average diameter of less than 25 microns, and more preferably 5-10 microns. Correlation between aerosolized particle count and allergen concentration enables "real-time" allergen concentration estimates without the use of expensive and time-consuming assay techniques.
