Patent CA-2351317-A1 (CA)
Title: Processing signals of different data rates
Inventor: BUTLER BRIAN K
IPC: H04W28/06
Filed: 1999-11-18
Abstract: A wireless communications system is described. In one embodiment of the invention, a set of demodulation resources demodulates a set of signals that can transmit data at a set of rates. For signals transmitting at lower data rates, a single demodulation resource demodulates an entire signal. For signals transmitting at higher data rates, two or more demodulation resources each demodulate a portion of the signal. Advantageously, the first portion of the higher rate signal is substantially different than the second portion.

Title: Apparatus and method for measuring anatomical objects using coordinated fluoroscopy
Inventor: KAELBLEIN JOHN P
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2000-01-18
Abstract: Two fluoroscopic images taken from two different angles of the same anatomical feature are registered to a common three-dimensional coordinate system. A dimension of the anatomical feature is determined by specifying with reference to the two registered fluoroscopic images two constrained points within the three-dimensional coordinate system that correspond to the boundaries of the anatomical feature, and calculating a straight-line distance between the two. Additionally, a three-dimensional virtual model of an implant is projected into each of two, registered fluoroscopic image, and a surgeon manipulates the projections to adjust the size and shape of the virtual model, and thereby determine parameters for the implant.

Inventor: BERMAN JOEL
IPC: A47H5/14
Filed: 2002-02-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet material mounting device having two channels, namely, a mounting channel for receivably engaging a rod for gripping the sheet material and a spacer channel for receivably engaging a spacer support configured to engage a lift cord and, optionally, a spacer cord. The spacer channel may be positioned above the mounting channel such that the center of gravity of the mounting device is located above the center of the mounting channel, thereby reducing asymmetric tilt of the sheet material engaged by the mounting channel and reducing friction against the lift cord.  Alternatively, the mounting channel may be positioned above the spacer channel. The mounting channel and the spacer channel are preferably both C-shaped, and each channel has an opening which faces in a direction opposite the direction faced by the opening of the other channel. Thus, a side view of the mounting device may resemble either an "S" or a reverse "S". In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided an apparatus and method for assembling the components of a sheet material mounting device, such that the assembled components of each sheet material mounting device are capable of maintaining vertical alignment with respect to every other sheet material mounting device comprised by the window covering system. Moreover, there is provided an apparatus and method for adjusting and re-aligning assembled components of a sheet material gripping apparatus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la caractérisation moléculaire de séquences d'ADN qui codent des protéines exprimées dans les glandes salivaires de la tique, notamment de la tique arthropode Ixodes ricinus. On a caractérisé les gènes induits dans les glandes salivaires de Ixodes ricinus pendant l'ingestion lente d'un aliment à base de sang. On a effectué le clonage de ces gènes en mettant en place une bibliothèque soustractive d'ADNc en soustrayant les ADNc non induits (synthétisés à partir des ARNm exprimés dans les glandes salivaires des tiques non nourries) des ADNc induits (synthétisés à partir des ARNm exprimés dans les glandes salivaires des tiques à la fin du stade d'ingestion lente). On a établi une bibliothèque d'ADNc pleine longueur à partir des séquences incomplètes considérées comme dignes d'intérêt et identifiées dans la bibliothèque d'ADNc soustractive. L'invention concerne aussi divers procédés d'utilisation des polynucléotides nouvellement identifiés et des polypeptides dérivés.

Patent CA-2378660-A1 (CA)
Title: Back-flushable filter cartridge assemblies
Inventor: WILLIAMS CAROLYN A
IPC: B01D29/66
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: Filter cartridge assemblies are provided with a generally cylindrical filter  medium which defines a cylindrically shaped core space, and a pair of end caps. A threaded base member having detent projections receives at least one  of the end caps, which itself is annular and has an interior cylindrical surface defining an interior space in alignment with the core space. The interior space is also provided with interrupted threads defining detent spaces. In use, therefore, the lower end cap may be threadably coupled with the threaded base member such that the detent projections are seated in respective ones of the detent, thereby minimizing the unintended threaded uncoupling therebetween. In another aspect, the filter cartridge is most preferably "coreless" and is capable of being sleeved over a permanent, reusable perforated core element. However, the core element is removably insertable within a base member to which the filter cartridge may be coupled . Specifically, one end of the core element is provided with an annular set ring. The set ring is rigidly connected to the exterior surface in surroundi ng relationship to the core element at a location spaced axially from the one o f its ends (e.g., the lower end) towards the other end (e.g., the upper end). In use, the annular set ring providesa seat which bears against the base when the end of the core element is forcibly inserted thereinto.
