Patent CA-2575320-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JABBOUR NICOLAS
IPC: A61F2/04
Filed: 2005-07-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a stent assembly for expanding a bodily passage in a patient and draining a fluid therefrom. The assembly comprises at least one expandable stent and an elongated carrier for delivery or retrieval of the stent. The stent is circumferentially attached to a distal end of the carrier.  The carrier defines at least two concentric lumens therethrough, a drainage lumen in fluid communication with the bodily passage for drainage of the fluid and an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the expandable stent. The invention also provides a method of expanding a bodily passage in a patient and draining a fluid therefrom. The method comprises providing a stent assembly of the present invention; inserting a guidewire into the bodily passage through the drainage lumen of the carrier; advancing the assembly along the guidewire until the assembly reaches a desired location; expanding the stent; and draining the fluid through drainage lumen of the carrier.

Title: System and method for computer automatic memory management
Inventor: GUO MINGNAN GMN
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2007-01-23
Abstract: The present invention is a method and system of automatic memory management (garbage collection). An application automatically marks up objects referenced from the "extended root set". At garbage collection, the system starts traversal from the marked-up objects. It can conduct accurate garbage collection in a non-GC   language, such as C++. It provides a deterministic reclamation feature. An object and its resources are released immediately when the last reference is dropped.    Application codes automatically become entirely GC-safe and interruptible. A  concurrent collector can be pause-less and with predictable worst-case latency of micro-second level. Memory usage is efficient and the cost of reference counting is significantly reduced.

IPC: C12N15/62
Filed: 2005-10-18
Abstract: A method of producing uridine 5~-diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc), which is an important substrate in synthesizing an oligosaccharide, characterized in that in enzymatically producing uridine 5~-diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine from uridine 5~-triphosphate (UTP) and N-acetylgalactosamine-1-phosphate (GalNAc1-P), uridine 5~-diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine pyrophosphorylase (UDP-GlcNAc pyrophosphorylase) originating in a microorganism (excluding pathogenic ones) is used as an enzyme. In this method, it is also possible to use, as GalNAc-1P, a product prepared from N-acetylgalactosamine and a phosphate donor in a reaction system with the use of N-acetylgalactosamine kinase. According to this method, uridine 5~-diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine can be efficiently produced by using a relatively inexpensive substrate.
