Abstract: A personal dispensing system (10) allows various cleansing or sanitizing products to be carried on the body of a user. Often, the product to be dispensed will be a viscous liquid, such as soap, waterless hand cleaner, waterless hand sanitizer or skin lotion. A dispenser made according to the invention includes a product container (12) having a mounting element, such as a mounting clip (14), located thereon. In many cases, the mounting element will be oriented such that the product container will be inverted when worn on the body of a user. In addition, the mounting element may be removable from the product container so that a new product container can be substituted whe n the contents of a prior product container are depleted. According to another  advantageous aspect of the invention, multiple product containers of differe nt types may be used with a common mounting element. Various interlocking arrangements are contemplated to effect the removable securement of the mounting element to the product container.

Title: Method and system for faster and more sensitive homology searching
Inventor: TROMP JOHN
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2002-09-09
Abstract: An area of research in the field of bioinformatics deals with the identification of similarities within one, or between two DNA sequences. Current techniques are quite slow and many matches are missed. The invention provides a faster and more sensitive solution, by using "optimised spaced seeds" to perform these biological sequence homology searches. Various techniques are shown for identifying seeds which are optimized to improve the sensitivity or speed of the searching. In the preferred embodiment, optimized spaced seeds are determined by the parameters of the search and independent of the actual databases being searched (for example, using the length and weight of the spaced seed, as well as the probability of a hit in a similar region). Thus, these optimized seeds can be stored in libraries which are accessed as required.

Patent CA-2404539-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FROHNE CHRISTIAN
IPC: B21C37/08
Filed: 2002-09-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing longitudinally welded helically corrugated metal tubing. A metal strip pulled from a strip supply is formed into tubing with a longitudinal slit. The longitudinal slit is sealed by welding and the corrugation is preferably produced by a corrugation tool that is supported eccentrically and at an angle to the tubing axis freely rotatable in a rotationally driven corrugator head and that rolls off the surface of the tubing. The metal strip as well as the uncorrugated metal tubing is advanced by a feed device that is provided between the welding point and the corrugation unit. A second feed device (8) engages the corrugated tubing (7) directly behind the corrugation unit (6). The feed rate of this second feed device is slower than the forward feed rate of the corrugated tubing (7) which results from the pitch of the corrugator disk and the rotational speed of the corrugator head.

Abstract: Techniques to efficiently process paging channels in an asynchronous wireless communication system (100). In one aspect, if the base stations (104a, b, c) are not synchronized with each other and a remote terminal's (106) designated page time is different from base station to base station, the remote terminal (106) can wake up based on the earliest base station in a reacquisition search list (712) that includes candidate base stations to which the remote terminal may be handed off. In another aspect, the criteria to select base stations for evaluation as reacquisition targets may be based on the received power (512) of the base stations as well as their timing (514), both of which may be made relative to that of a preferred base station. In yet another aspect, the remote terminal may wake up multiple times in a particular paging cycle (i.e., a frame cycle or a DRX cycle) if there are one or more candidates base station to which the remote terminal may be handed off.

Title: Metal pad for downhole formation testing
Inventor: ABBAS ARIAN
IPC: E21B49/10
Filed: 2003-01-28
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for isolator pad assemblies used in formation testing equipment. The pad comprises a primarily metallic pad member and a retractable resilient sealing member. The resilient sealing member is maintained in a retracted, protected position until extended to seal against the wellbore. When extended the metallic pad pushes into the mudcake until a raised ring of material on the surface of the pad contacts the formation. Once the pad is in place, the resilient sealing member, which is molded to an extending metal sleeve, is extended and contacts the mudcake to form a primary seal. With the primary and secondary seals energized, a fluid sample can be collected from the formation without contamination from wellbore fluids.

Title: Method and apparatus for closing vascular puncture using hemostatic material
Inventor: ZHU YONG HUA
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2001-08-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for closing a vascular wound includes a guidewire (58) and/or other surgical implement (32) extending from the wound (w). A sponge-like hemostatic material (80) is advanced over the surgical implement and into contact with an area of the blood vessel (94) surrounding the wound. The surgical implement (32) is removed. Blood (b) soaks the hemostatic material (80), and blood clotting is facilitated by the hemostatic agent within the material. A sealing layer of adhesive (106) can be applied to the sponge-like material (80), confining the blood flow to the sponge. Thus, the vascular puncture wound (w) is sealed by natural blood clot formation.
