Title: Stratified air scavenged two-cycle engine with air flow
Inventor: PERRYMAN ROY M
IPC: F02B17/00
Filed: 2004-11-30
Abstract: An SAS two-cycle engine has a cylinder block that has a bore with at least one scavenging port and at least one fresh air port therein. The bore extends to a crankcase. A piston of the engine is located within the bore and separates a combustion chamber of the bore from the crank area and is movable between a first position, in closest proximity to the crank area, and a second position. The air port and the piston are configured such that air may flow from the air port into the combustion chamber of the cylinder when the piston is at the first position. In one example, the scavenging port and the air port have edges that are selectively revealed upon movement of the piston. The air port includes an upper edge, which may be contoured such that only a portion of the upper edge is exposed when the piston is at the first position.
Patent CA-2489033-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CALMER MARION
IPC: A01D45/02
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: The invention provides four (4) methods to reduce stalk shear in a corn head row unit that utilizes a non-variable or dependent drive system. The four methods described include altering the gearbox ratio, increasing the lengths of the fluted portion of the stalk roll, increasing stalk roll diameter or reducing the size of the gathering chain drive sprocket. The invention allows for a more balanced application of multi directional energy to be applied to the corn plant. The resultant effect is to reduce stalk shear which reduces trash intake to the harvester. This novel idea provides the first means and method to which genetically improved taller and healthier corn plants can be harvested with minimal amounts of material other than ears ultimately being transferred to the threshing unit.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for establishing a connection via an access network (30) communicating with at least one user terminal, and at least one backbone network (100) comprising at least user terminal authentication and authorization means (50) and at least one user data processing node (60, 62), wherein the connection of a user terminal (10) is authenticated to the access network (30) and one of the at least one user data processing nodes (60, 62) is selected based on a selection information transferred in the authentication signaling. Then, a tunnel parameter information of the selected user data processing node is signaled to the access network (30) and a tunnel connection is created between the access network (30) and the selected user data processing node (60) based on the tunnel parameter information. By creating a tunnel connection based on a network signaling with both endpoints of the tunnel, the tunnel connection can be created between two network elements originally unknown to each other.

Title: Method and apparatus for administering configuration information in a private branch exchange switch
Inventor: BROWN DEBORAH J
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2005-04-04
Abstract: A administration tool is disclosed for administering a switch, such as a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) switch that optionally provides an IP  Telephony feature. Data objects associated with one or more endpoints of the switch are processed, wherein at least one of the data objects inherits an intelligent property from another data object based on one more endpoint specific criteria. The inheritance may occur as the result of an application of a predefined template to a data object. The processing of configuration data may be performed offline from the switch, using one or more classes of service that are stored remote from the switch. Changes to configuration data are propagated to affected data objects (e.g., those objects referenced by a changed object). The data objects may be imported from an external data source. Another aspect of the invention automatically creates one or more hunt groups populated with appropriate users during an import process.

Title: Clinically relevant animal model of human breast cancer and vegf involvement in desmoplastic response
Inventor: QU ZHICAN
IPC: C12N1/00
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: Expression of VEGF correlates with clinically aggressive, tamoxifen resistant metastatic breast cancers. To assess the role of VEGF expression on breast cancer growth, metastasis and development of anti-estrogen resistance, and desmoplasia an ER-positive, several MCF-7-derived cell lines, designated C9V, were engineered to express VEGF in a doxycycline-regulated manner. C9V cells were introduced into a athymic nude mouse to produce a xenograft model of breast cancer. Expression of VEGF in xenografts increased neoangiogenesis, enhanced tumor growth, stimulated a tamoxifen resistant phenotype, increased metastatic potential and induced a desmoplastic response. These results suggest that inhibition of VEGF expression or action will be effective in the treatment of breast cancer. In addition, inhibition of VEGF expression or action with inhibition of estrogen expression or action may also be effective.
