Patent CA-2506318-A1 (CA)
Title: Unexpected surface proteins in neisseria meningitidis
Inventor: GRANDI GUIDO
IPC: C07K14/22
Filed: 2003-11-17
Abstract: 217 proteins have, contrary to expectations, been found in the membrane of Neisseria meningitidis. Of these 217, 76 in particular evaded all algorithmic methods for predicting membrane localisation. Existing knowledge of protein trafficking pathways in meningococcus does not explain how or why these proteins are located in the bacterial membrane e.g. there is no apparent biochemical reason for a DNA helicase or a chromosomal replication initiator protein to be found in the membrane. These 217 proteins are provided as membrane proteins.

Title: Resin composition for protective film
Inventor: UMEYAMA CHIE
IPC: C08G59/24
Filed: 2004-10-06
Abstract: A resin composition for protective films which comprises an epoxy resin having two or more epoxy groups, a hardener, a hardening accelerator, a solvent, and a colloidal slurry of fine silica particles having an average particle diameter, as determined by conversion from the specific surface area, of 50 nm or smaller, a pH of 6 to 8, and an alkali metal content of 5 ppm or lower. The resin composition gives a protective film which satisfies adhesion and visible-light transmission, which are performances conventionally required. The protective film further has high surface smoothness even when the substrate surface has not been smoothed. The resin composition has satisfactory storage stability and does not cause liquid-crystal fouling. Furthermore, the cured film obtained from the resin composition has excellent high-temperature resistance, especially ITO resistance. The resin composition is hence suitable for use in forming a protective film for the colored resin films of color filters for liquid-crystal displays.

Title: Manufacture of cadmium mercury telluride
Inventor: HALL DAVID JOHN
IPC: H01L33/12
Filed: 2005-04-05
Abstract: A method of manufacture of cadmium mercury telluride (CMT) is disclosed. The method involves growing one or more buffer layers on a substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Subsequently at least one layer of cadmium mercury telluride, Hg1-XCdXTe where x is between (0) and (1) inclusive, is grown by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) The use of MBE to grow buffer layers allows a range of substrates to be used for CMT growth.
