Patent CA-2450899-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARKLE ROBERT D
IPC: E21B15/00
Filed: 2003-11-25
Abstract: An apparatus and method for the movement of drilling equipment between topographically adjacent drilling locations comprises positioning a transportable planar surface over the adjacent drilling locations between which it is desired to move the equipment. Ports or other access areas extending through the planar surface to the drilling locations below are provided. The equipment to be moved is placed on top of the planar surface and is provided an its bottom with a low-drag surface which can slide across the planar surface. The equipment can be moved from one desired drilling location to another by sliding it between locations on top of the planar surface. When all of the drilling is completed, the equipment can be struck for transport and the planar surface disassembled and moved to a new drilling area. Various methods to move the equipment could be used.

Title: Eukaryotic genes involved in adult lifespan regulation
Inventor: LEHRER-GRAIWER JOSH
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-06-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to regulation of adult lifespan in eukaryotes.  More particularly, the present invention is directed to methods of assaying for genes, gene products, and genes in pathways controlled by such genes and gene products, using RNAi and microarray analysis, that regulate lifespan (e.g., extend or truncate adult lifespan) in eukaryotes such as invertebrates (e.g., C. elegans), plants, and mammals, e.g., humans. For example, the present invention is directed to genes encoding components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and genes encoding glycolysis enzymes, which are involved in lifespan regulation, and genes and gene products in pathways controlled by such genes. Other genes and gene products identified as regulating aging and aging pathways include a gene encoding a GTPase; a transcriptional activator; novel genes: llw-1, llw-2, llw-3, and llw-4; genes encoding cytochrome P450 proteins (involved in steroid biosynthesis); a melatonin synthesis gene; genes encoding insulin and insulin-like peptides;  genes encoding heat shock factors; genes encoding catalases; stress-response genes; and metabolic genes. The invention further relates to methods for identifying and using agents, including small molecule chemical compositions, antibodies, antisense nucleic acids, and ribozymes, that regulate, e.g., enhance, adult lifespan via modulation of aging associated proteins; as well as to the use of expression profiles, markers, and compositions in diagnosis and therapy related to lifespan extension, life expectancy, and aging. The present invention also relates to gene therapy involving lifespan associated genes.

Filed: 2002-07-23
Abstract: A method, system and computer program to monitor securities market activity.  Level 1 and/or level 2 data is analyzed to track the activity of market makers and to derive indicators of momentary upward or downward price pressure. As items of information relating to level 2 data are received, processing block (218) will pass these items to the level 2 data subprocess (238). In processing block (240) the level 2 data subprocess (238) will determine if each incoming level 2 data value corresponds to an item contained within the user's database, including securities contained within the watch list and alerts. If not, the level 2 data item will be discarded in processing block (242). Otherwise, the level 2 data item will be passed to processing block (244). Any changes to the user's database since loading of the information contained within the user's database in processing block (212) will be considered by processing block (240). Those updates will also be considered for each of the processing blocks (244) through (256).

Patent CA-2461515-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALTAIS JACQUES
IPC: B25C1/04
Filed: 2004-03-23
Abstract: A pneumatic mallet-blow operated fastener driving tool for securing hardwood planks to a subfloor, which comprises a fastener discharge mechanism in turn comprising a housing having a pressurized main chamber in direct link with a compressed air intake, a selectively depressurizable closure chamber pressurized when the tool is at rest, and a cylinder in which a piston having a plunger affixed thereto is slidably mounted. A valve, biased toward a closed position when the closure chamber is pressurized, or biased towards its open limit position if the closure chamber is depressurized, permits selective establishment of fluid communication between the inside of the cylinder and the pressurized main chamber. The piston, at a retracted limit position when the tool is at rest, is forced towards a deployed limit position when fluid communication is established between the main chamber and the inside of the cylinder, in order for its plunger to strike a fastener and drive it into an underlying plank. In use, after the mallet blow has engendered depressurizing of the closure chamber, the valve is moved in its open limit position, a fastener is discharged from the tool upon being struck by deployment of the piston by being struck by its plunger, and closure chamber starts to become pressurized again by compressed fluid flowing therein from the main chamber through a first fluid inlet, which initiates movement of the valve towards its closed position, and after such movement is initiated, a second fluid inlet port opens up to further admit compressed air into the closure chamber and thus accelerate pressurizing of the closure chamber and displacement of the valve towards its closed position.

Title: Method for detecting procoagulant conditions
Inventor: BERG LOIS HILL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: A method for detecting, treating, and monitoring conditions associated with activation of the coagulation response, such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, by evaluating the status of the coagulation response in a patient by using a novel combination of tests which can detect minimal activation of the coagulation response in a patient. The novel combination includes tests for determining levels of fibrinogen, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2, thrombin/antithrombin complexes, soluble fibrin monomer, and platelet activation by flow cytometry. These assays are highly sensitive to minimal deviation from normal. Deviation from the normal values in any two of the fi ve assays permits diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or other disease associated with activation of the coagulation response.
