Patent CA-2185511-C (CA)
Inventor: DADESHIDZE VLADIMIR
IPC: G06K9/00

Abstract: A cytological screening system assists a cytotechnologist to determine the presence of "abnormal" cells in a cytological specimen. The system includes a microscope with a motorized stage, autofocus lens, video camera and image capturing and image analysis systems. The specimen is scanned, and cells with characteristics falling outside ranges determined by the system specifically for the specimen are marked for analysis. Analysis is performed by utilizing a set of weighted characteristics, which are based in part of the individual medical history of the patient. Cells with a combination of characteristics which fall outside a predetermined range are determined to be abnormal and are identified for further analysis by the cytotechnologist. Alternatively, the system provides relational information and reference material during the manual screening process.

The body includes two sheets having either an impregnating resin or a certain quantity of gas or air, the electronic circuit being disposed between the two sheets and these being pressed together at a predetermined temperature. A module is thus obtained having at least one electronic circuit which can include a coil serving as an antenna, the module being able to be cut in credit card format and being able to serve as an identification badge. The same method and the same substances can be used to make a module having an electronic circuit with a housing, contact tracks being flush on one of the main faces of the module. Composite modules having the two types of circuits can also be made using the same method.

Granted: 2000-07-18
Abstract: A transmitter transmits the desired signal using a continuous duty cycle at transmission rates of less than full rate (Fig. 6). The energy used in each power control group is related to the transmission rate. By repeating the power control groups, time division diversity (Fig. 6) is provided. In the receiver, the received power control groups are analyzed and compared to several levels of energy thresholds (73, 75, 77, 79). The results of the comparisons are converted into a power control signal (74, 76, 78, 80, 81) and returned to the mobile. The mobiles are capable of selecting the appropriate bit (93) and adjusting their power (94). Alternatively, an indicator of the transmission rate can be forwarded (155) in advance of the frame. The receiver compares a power estimate with the threshold for the transmission rate indicated (166).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic-money collecting system capable of returning a lost IC card used as an 'electronic purse' to the owner of the lost IC card or an institution issuing the lost IC card with a high degree of efficiency without giving a troublesome load to the lost-IC-card finder or the institution issuing the IC card. When a lost IC card storing money data representing an amount of electronic money is found, the found IC card is entered into a terminal installed at places such as a bank or other public institution. At that time, information read out from the IC card is transmitted to a central apparatus by way of a communication line. At the central apparatus, a storage unit is searched for information on the legitimate owner of the IC card, i.e. information for contacting the owner. The owner of the lost IC card is then notified of the implementation of processing to collect the IC card by telephone, through the post or through an electronic mail using a communication means. In order to increase the rate of collection of lost IC cards, a lost-IC-card finder is given reward money which is set in accordance with the amount of money recorded in a found IC card. In addition, when an attempt made by a lost-IC-card finder to illegally draw money from a found IC card is detected, information on the lost-IC-card finder who makes the attempt to draw money from the found IC card is recorded, allowing the abuse of a found IC card to be detected early.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une architecture syntonisable, de type Gm-C, et à temps continu utilisée dans un modulateur  DELTA  SIGMA  (10), laquelle architecture comprend un résonateur syntonisable (18) ainsi qu'un quantificateur (22) à bits de rang inférieur et à vitesse d'échantillonnage élevée qui sont connectés dans une boucle d'asservissement (27). Le résonateur va définir la forme du spectre de bruit de quantification de sorte que la plus grande partie du bruit de quantification se produise hors du spectre des signaux. Une cellule Gm syntonisable (30) va syntoniser la fréquence de résonance du résonateur à la fréquence de la porteuse du spectre des signaux de manière à maximiser le rapport signal-bruit du modulateur. Cette cellule Gm syntonisable comprend une cellule Gm fixe (80) possédant une transconductance Gf, ainsi qu'un diviseur de courant (82) et un circuit de recombinaison (83) qui vont ensemble multiplier Gf par un facteur  alpha , étant entendu que -1</= alpha </=1, sans pour autant affecter le courant Icm de mode commun de la cellule. Une source de courant positif (21a, 21b) va assurer l'alimentation en courant Icm tout en maintenant une résistance de mode commun de R/2, ainsi qu'une résistance de mode différentiel théoriquement infinie. La fréquence de résonance du résonateur peut ainsi être modifiée depuis le CC jusqu'à environ 1 GHz tout en conservant un point de fonctionnement en mode commun stable, et en améliorant le facteur de qualité du modulateur.

Abstract: A method and device for cleaning the oven cavity of a pyrolytic self-cleaning oven without using a broil element or burner. The method includes using a bake burner to maintain the temperature of the oven cavity during the first stage of the self-cleaning process at a temperature sufficiently low such that cooking residues are baked onto the oven walls and bottom without producing excessive levels of smoke. During the second stage of the self-cleaning process, the temperature inside the oven cavity is raised to clean away the baked-on residues while still maintaining acceptable levels of smoke.

Abstract: This invention is directed to characterizing a host system suitable for the production of functional transgenic proteins, such as anti-human IgG, for use in applications requiring Government regulatory approval. It is well known that regulatory agencies required stable, consistent master cell banks and master cell lines for the production of transgenic proteins in order to ensure sufficient material for appropriate characterization, clinical trials, and potential sales. Current plant production systems require the establishment of seed banks for this purpose. However, there are many draw backs related to such a system for the production of a continuous reliable transgenic protein source. An aspect of this invention is directed to characterizing a plant production system suitable for transgenic proteins that meet the stringent regulatory requirements. Another aspect of this invention exemplifies the production and characterization of an anti-human IgG for use as a blood grouping reagents, through the expression of corresponding genes in transgenic alfalfa plants. The cDNAs of the heavy and light chains of a human IgG-specific IgG2a(kappa) murine mAb (C5-1) were transferred into alfalfa through Agrobacterium infection. Transgenic plants expressing the light- and heavy-chain encoding mRNAs were obtained and plants from the F1 progeny (obtained by sexual crossing) were found to express fully assembled C 5-1. Furthermore, the transgenic protein was stable in vivo, as well as during extraction and purification procedures. Purification yielded a unique H2L2 form with a reactivity indistinguishable from hybridoma-derived C 5-1 in standardized serological tests. Results indicate that plant-derived transgenic proteins, such as mAbs can be used as diagnostic reagents as effectively as hybridoma- derived mAbs, and demonstrates the usefulness of the transformed alfalfa system to produce large amounts of proteins, including multimeric proteins such as mAbs.
