Title: A method for identification of biologically active peptides and nucleic acids
Inventor: LUND ANDERS HENRIK
IPC: C12Q1/6811
Filed: 1996-05-31
Abstract: Biologically active peptides and nucleic acids are identified by a method comprising the following steps: (a) production of a pool of appropriate vectors each containing totally or partly random DNA sequences, (b) efficient transduction of said vectors into a number of identical eukaryotic cells in such a way that a single ribonucleic acid and possibly peptide is expressed or a limited number of different random ribonucleic acids and peptides are expressed by each cell, (c) screening of said transduced cells to see whether some of them have changed a certain phenotypic trait, (d) selection and cloning of said changed cells, (e) isolation and sequencing of the vector DNA  in said phenotypically changed cells, and (f) deducing the ribonucleic acid and peptide sequences from the DNA sequence. The peptide sequences may be introduced into or fused to a larger protein preferably an antibody molecule or a fragment thereof. This may be obtained by introducing the random DNA  sequences into or fusing them to a DNA sequence encoding such larger protein.

Title: High solids lime as a caustic replacement
Inventor: SALTER TIMOTHY L
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 1996-08-23
Abstract: A composition for a pumpable lime slurry which is adapted for use as a replacement for caustic solutions is formed by combining a dispersing agent in lime and water to form an aqueous slurry. The amount of lime used is between 35 to 55 % by weight of the slurry.  The dispersing agent, which is an anionic polyelectrolyte, such as polyacrylic, polycarboxylic acids and alkali metal salts thereof, is added in an amount between 0.1 to 3 % by weight of the lime. To this is added an alkali metal hydroxide of 0.1 to 1.5 % by weight of lime. The order of addition of the alkali metal hydroxide is important. The later addition of the alkali metal hydroxide results in a decreased viscosity so that a lower amount of dispersing agent is required.

Title: Highly responsive automatic output power control
Inventor: STONE RICHARD M
IPC: H03G3/30
Filed: 1996-08-27
Abstract: A circuit for automatically limiting fluctuations in the output power level of a transmitter by providing a feedback control signal which is based on the output power level. An RF signal (100) is input to a terminal of the RF detector (200). When the RF signal (100) is more negative than a bias voltage (209), a capacitor (208) begins charging. When the RF signal (100) becomes more positive than the bias voltage (209), the voltage in the charged capacitor (208) is added to the RF signal (100) and then averaged by the capacitors (214 and 206) to form voltage VE. Voltage VE in conjunction with the current setting circuitry (230) establishes a tail current (235) which is comprised of transistor (216) current (225) and the current from the RF detector (200). The tail current (235) tends to remain constant whereas the transistor current (225) is responsive to power changes in the RF signal (100) and represents the difference between the output power level of the RF power amplifier and the specified reference (110). The current (235) is amplified by current amplifier (220) to provide the feedback control signal (120). Thus, when the power of RF singal (100) increases, transistor current (225) decreases. This causes the feedback control signal to decrease the output of the RF power amplifier. Likewise, when the power of the RF signal (100) decreases, transistor current (225) increases. This causes the feedback control signal to increase the output of the RF power amplifier.

Patent CA-2247956-A1 (CA)
Title: Omnidirectional barcode locator
Inventor: SKINGER GREGORY PHILIP
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1997-04-11
Abstract: An efficient method and apparatus (20) for determining the location and approximate orientation of a barcode (33) on a substrate (14). The inventive method is preferably implemented by an omnidirectional barcode locator including an application specific integrated circuit that includes one or more field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The digital image is a one-bit (i.e., black/white) representation of a standard eight-bit grey scale video image produced by a CCD camera (16). The use of a one-bit digital video signal reduces the amount of mass storage memory required to store images of barcodes and facilitates the manipulation of the video signal by the application specific integrated circuit. The omnidirectional barcode locator (20) processes, in real-time, a digital video signal (19) defining a pixelized image (30) of a conveyor (12) carrying parcels (14a-14n) through the field of view of a CCD camera (16). The omnidirectional barcode locator (20) divides the video image (30) into a plurality of cells and produces two output signals, a cell barcode detection signal (21) and a cell barcode orientation signal (22), for each cell. A host computer (23) responds to a "true" cell barcode detection signal (21) for a cell by storing the portion of the video image (30) corresponding to the cell in a mass storage memory (24). The host computer (30) also stores a representation of the cell barcode orientation signal (22) for each cell in which the cell barcode indication signal (21) is "true". The omnidirectional barcode locator (20) thus allows the host computer (30) to store only those cells of the video image (30) that contain barcode data. The barcode data may then be provided to a barcode reader (23) for further processing.

IPC: H04M1/2748
Filed: 1998-01-23
Abstract: Clavier (2) permettant à une personne d'introduire des données en pressant une pluralité de touches principales (21-32). Les cinq lettres A, I, U, E et O, représentant les voyelles, sont attribuées à cinq touches d'entrée séparées (21-25). Une pluralité de consonnes sont attribuées à chacune des autres touches (26-32). Le dispositif (2) comporte en outre des moyens de détection de frappe qui détectent combien de fois les touches (21-32) sont actionnées à la suite, et des moyens de traitement de frappe qui produisent un caractère correspondant au nombre de frappes. Etant donné que les voyelles, qui sont fréquemment utilisées à la fois en anglais et en japonais, sont attribuées à des touches séparées (21-25), une voyelle peut être entrée en pressant une seule fois une des touches (21-25). Le nombre de frappes pour entrer les voyelles peut ainsi être réduit par rapport au modèle antérieur dans lequel les voyelles ne peuvent être introduites qu'en pressant les touches plusieurs fois, ce qui permet d'accroître les performances d'opération et de procéder rapidement à l'introduction de données.
