Patent CA-2500783-C (CA)
Title: Microarrays having multiple oligonucleotides in single array features
Inventor: ALBERT THOMAS
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 2003-09-30
Granted: 2012-07-17
Abstract: The present invention is a method for synthesizing microarrays having different oligonucleotides present within one feature area of the array. The method utilizes the techniques common to microarray synthesis, but limits the duration in which selected feature areas on the array are initially dosed with light so as to only deprotect a calculated ratio of the compounds forming the array's binding layer. The compounds initially deprotected are capped with a non~photosensitive protecting group, such as di-methoxy-trityl, to inhibit their involvement in the synthesis of a first group of DNA strands built onto the array. Once the first group of DNA strands have been synthesized, the original deprotected group may then be further processed to build one or more groups of DNA strands in the same feature area as the first group of DNA  strands. The present invention also includes microarrays manufactured using the method.
Patent CA-2501666-C (CA)
Title: Method for the production of an aqueous hydroxylamine solution
Inventor: STRECKER THOMAS
IPC: B01D3/34
Filed: 2004-02-13
Granted: 2008-12-30
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous solution of free hydroxylamine (HA) by simultaneous countercurrent treatment of a HA salt with ammonia or ammonia water, then separating the HA by distillation and reconcentrating the aqueous HA solution in a countercurrent with a stripping medium.     The stripping medium used according to the invention is a mixture of steam and a non-condensable inert gas and the process temperature at a defined pressure is controlled by the quantity of non-condensable inert gas at the column inlet.     The preferred non-condensable inert gas is nitrogen.     This results in increased safety and a reduction in losses of the method for producing aqueous solutions of free HA.

Title: Vaccin contre la malaria
Inventor: THEISEN MICHAEL
IPC: A61P33/06
Filed: 2003-11-06
Granted: 2015-06-30
Abstract: Une protéine de fusion, dérivée d'une protéine riche en glutamate de <i>P. falciparum </i> (GLURP), génétiquement couplée à la protéine de surface de Merozoïte de <i>P. falciparum </i> (MSP3), a été produite dans <i>Lactococcus lactis </i> sous forme de protéine hybride recombinante sécrétée GLURP-MSP3; des expériences ont montré que la partie GLURP de l'hybride augmente la réaction globale d'anticorps. Les immunisations avec la protéine hybride ont <u>systématiquement</u> produit une réponse d'anticorps plus forte contre les domaines individuels GLURP et MSP3 qu'un mélange de deux molécules recombinantes injectées sur un site, ou que les molécules recombinantes individuelles injectées simultanément à deux sites différents. La différence a été la plus prononcée pour la réponse d'anticorps spécifique à MSP3, ce qui peut indiquer que les épitopes des cellules T, situés dans la région RO de GLURP RO, aident dans le cas des épitopes des cellules B dans la région MSP3. De plus, dans le cas des animaux à qui on a injecté un mélange de GLURP et de MSP3, les souris prises individuellement avaient tendance à développer une réponse d'anticorps prédominante contre l'une des molécules: chez certains animaux GLURP était immuno-dominante alors que chez d'autres MSP3 était l'immonogène dominant. En outre, l'hybride se montre plus antigénique que les protéines recombinantes individuelles puisque le titre ELISA des anticorps IgG rencontrés naturellement (chez des adultes africains cliniquement immuns) contre la protéine hybride était plus élevé que les titres contre les protéines recombinantes individuelles. La protéine hybride s'est aussi manifesté comme un antigène protecteur potentiel car les anticorps IgG anti-GLURP-MSP3 chez la souris se sont montrés capables d'inhiber la croissance des parasites <i>in vitro </i> d'une manière dépendant des monocytes.

Title: Authenticity verification methods, products and apparatuses
Inventor: COWBURN RUSSELL PAUL
IPC: G06V10/44
Filed: 2005-03-09
Granted: 2014-08-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a digital signature from an article made of paper, cardboard, plastic or many other material types. A coherent light source directs a beam to illuminate the article and a detector arrangement collects data points from light scattered from many different parts of the article to collect a large number of independent data points, typically 500 or more. By collecting a large number of independent signal contributions specific to many different parts of the article, a digital signature can be computed that is unique to the area of the article that has been scanned. This measurement can be repeated whenever required to test authenticity of the article. Using this method, it has been discovered that it is essentially pointless to go to the effort and expense of making specially prepared tokens, since unique characteristics are measurable a in a straightforward manner from a wide variety of every day articles.

Title: Emergency information prompt report system
Inventor: MITSUHASHI MASARU
IPC: H04N7/16

Granted: 2016-01-12
Abstract: A monitoring center notifies emergency broadcast request information specifying its broadcast area to a prescribed emergency broadcast processing apparatus when any sensor detects an abnormality and determines that an emergency broadcast is needed. When acquiring the emergency broadcast request information transmitted from a plurality of monitoring centers, the processing apparatus grasps contents specified in the request information to notify information necessary for the emergency broadcast to a broadcast station covering an objective area. When a request instruction for the emergency broadcast is issued, the broadcast station arranges contents of emergency information in free areas in a broadcast format, arranges control information to start receivers in the objective area and also automatically select a channel at a defined position in the broadcast format to create an emergency broadcast signal and multiplexes it with a normal broadcast signal to broadcast it.
