Patent CA-2180972-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PEETERS JOHAN
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 1996-07-10
Abstract: To allocate a number of data elements to a set of carriers the carriers are divided into N subsets of carriers according to a predetermined carrier criterion whilst the data elements are classified into N groups of data elements according to a predetermined data criterion N being an integer. The predetermined data and carrier criterion have a relation on the basis of which the N subsets of carriers are associated one by one to the N groups of data elements. The data elements classified in such a group are then allowed to be modulated only on carriers which form part of the subset associated with this group. In addition for each subset of carriers and related group of data elements the distribution is obtained by means of information from subset dependent 'required SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) per data element'-tables and previously carried out SNR measurements for each carrier.

Patent CA-2185777-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAPOTEAU EDDY
IPC: G01N21/77
Filed: 1996-09-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the determination of polyvalent metal ions using a sandwich aggregation assay. One or more chelating agents capable of forming at least 2:1 or higher ratio stoichiometry complexes with polyvalent metal ions are attached to a suitable carrier such as latex particles through covalent bonds or by non-covalent interactions, such as hydrophobic interactions. Upon complexation with the metal ions, the carriers of the complexing agent aggregate, cause an increase in light absorbance or light scattering which is proportional to the concentration of metal ions in the test sample. The measurement of the light absorbance or light scattering by a suitable instrument, such as a spectrophotometer or nephelometer provides a means for measuring the concentration of metal ions.

Patent CA-2188488-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VIRTA RAIMO
IPC: G01N15/08
Filed: 1996-10-22
Abstract: A method and device for measuring the permeability of a drying wire to air in which the measurement is carried out continuously while the drying wire moves.  The drying wire is guided to run so that it passes over a blow box and a measurement box free of contact, and the pressure in the measurement box and/or the relative change in the pressure is/are measured when the blow box is creating a pressure differential between the blow box and the measurement box in the vicinity of the wire.  The pressure and/or the relative change in the pressure is/are compared with earlier measurement results and/or starting values (reference values).  The permeability to air of the drying wire is determined on the basis of comparison of the pressure and/or of the relative change in the pressure, and the contact-free measurement is produced by guiding the flow into or out of the measurement box to pass through a gap between the measurement box and the drying wire.

Patent CA-2191411-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YELLIN FRANK
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1996-11-27
Abstract: A secure program interpreter performs a special check the first time itexecutes a method call to determine if the sole purpose of the called method is to access the value of private variable, modify the value of a private variable, or return a constant value. When this is the case, the interpreter's internal representation of the method being executed is modified so as to directly access the private variable of the called method, or to directly accessthe stored constant of the called method. The modified method representation uses special "privileged" load and store instructions, not available in normal source code programs, that access private variables and constants outside the method being executed without causing a security violation to be flagged. When the modified portion of the method is executed, the private variable or constant is accessed directly by the executed method using a privileged load or store instruction, the use of which avoids the flagging of a security violation by the program interpreter. When execution of the program is completed, the modified internal representation of the method is flushed, such that when the program is executed again said interpreter generates a new working representation of the aforementioned method.

Patent CA-2201423-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COVELEY MICHAEL
IPC: G01G19/08
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: A cashierless shopping store (10) including portable RF shopping terminals (34) carried by shoppers. Bar codes on purchased items are scanned using a RF shopping terminal before being placed in a shopping cart (210). The shopping cart detects the weight of items placed therein and conveys the weight information to the RF shopping terminal over an RF communications link. The RF shopping terminal compares the weight information received from the shopping cart with the weight information read from the bar codes. If the weight information does not correlate, the RF shopping terminal signals a controller (52) to activate an alarm. When the shopper wishes to pay for the purchased items, the shopping cart is wheeled to a cashierless checkout station (24). A lifting unit (304) lifts the shopping cart to detect the weight of the purchased items and conveys the weight information to the RF shopping terminal. The RF shopping terminal again compares the weight information received from the lifting unit with the total weight information read from the scanned bar codes. If the weight information correlates, the RF shopping terminal prompts the shopper to enter a debit, credit or smart card into a card reader therein. Once the card is read, the RF shopping terminal prompts the shopper to enter a PIN or password and then generates a financial transaction request. The financial transaction request is conveyed to a network controller (314) over an RF communication link. The network controller in turn conveys the financial transaction request to a financial institution for verification and processing. Once processed and verified, a verification is transmitted back to the network controller which in turn signals a printer (318) to print a receipt and open a gate allowing the shopper to leave with the purchased items.

Patent CA-2205563-A1 (CA)
Title: Terminal repeat amplification method
Inventor: SOOKNANAN ROY
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1995-11-28
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for amplifying a specific nucleic acid sequence or its complement at a relatively constant temperature and without serial addition of reagents. The process provides in a single reaction medium an RNA polymerase, DNA polymerase, a ribonuclease that hydrolyses RNA of an RNA-DNA hybrid without hydrolysing single or double-stranded RNA or DNA, and ribonucleoside and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. The process then provides an RNA first template in the reaction medium. The RNA first template comprises a sequence complementary to a specific nucleic acid sequence, minussense sequences for a promoter and initiation site that are recognized by the RNA polymerase, and a 5'-terminal sequence that is complementary to at least the minus-sense sequence of the initiation site. Thus, the RNA first template has an inverted repeat sequence which could fold into a 5'-terminal stem-loop structure. The DNA polymerase uses the RNA first template to synthesize a DNA second template that together comprise an RNA-DNA hybrid. The DNA second template has plus-sense sequences of the promoter and the initiation site, and a 3'-terminal priming sequence that is complementary to the plus-sense sequence of the initiation site. The ribonuclease then hydrolyses an RNA which comprises the RNA-DNA hybrid, allowing the 3'-terminal priming sequence to hybridize to the plus-sense sequence of the initiation site in the DNA second template. The DNA polymerase then uses the DNA second template to synthesize the promoter by extending the 3'-terminal priming sequence of the DNA second template. The resulting partially double-stranded DNA has a promoter oriented toward the apex of a stem-loop structure. The RNA polymerase then recognizes the promoter and transcribes the DNA second template, thereby providing copies of the RNA first template. The process thereafter maintains the reaction conditions for a time sufficient to achieve a desired amplification of the specific nucleic acid sequence or its complement. This invention includes a kit containing the reagents of this invention.
