Title: Variable region fusion peptides that form effector complexes in the presence of antigen
Inventor: MAHONEY WALT
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1998-09-24
Abstract: The fusion polypeptides of this invention contain a variable region sequence linked to an effector sequence. The polypeptides do not form stable complexes in solution, except in the presence of an antigen. Upon contacting with the antigen, the two variable region sequences bind together, which in turn drives the effector sequences into juxtaposition. Complementation of one effector sequence with the other provides an effector function, such as enzyme activation, which has a number of therapeutic or diagnostic applications.

Title: Motor vehicle display system and ranging device
Inventor: TONKIN MARK CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B60Q1/44
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: A display system (Figure 1) for motor vehicles provides an array of lamps (2) at the rear of a subject vehicle (101) to provide an indication of the state of motion of the subject vehicle to the driver of a following vehicle (103). In a first mode of operation, the display indicates a level of warning (A, B, C, D) dependent upon the rate of deceleration of the subject vehicle, the level of warning being determined by deceleration thresholds (F1A, F1B, F1C, F1D) which are variable in dependence upon the measured speed (v) of the subject vehicle. In a second mode of operation, the lamps provide an indication of the subject vehicle being stationary or near stationary as determined by comparing the measured speed with a threshold speed (V1). An animate display is created by illuminating the lamps and sequentially deactuating selected pairs of lamps to create a pattern cyclically moving symmetrically outwardly from the centre of the row. The display is discontinued when the speed of the subject vehicle exceeds a second threshold (V2) defined independently of the first threshold speed. In a third mode of operation, the display indicates that the subject vehicle is stationary or near stationary in a manner which has less prominence, fewer lamps being illuminated a static display, and in response to detection of a following vehicle being in close proximity to the subject vehicle.

Patent CA-2348121-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical switch with connection verification
Inventor: BRYANT ANDREW JOHN
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: An optical switch is equipped with a set of optical intensity controllers at its input, each intensity controller being driven to vary a corresponding GVDM input traffic signal with a low power test signal. The switch is also equipped with optical splitters at its output and a path integrity analyzer connected to the splatters and to the intensity controllers.      The path integrity analyzer generates or controls generation of the test signals applied by the intensity controllers.      The path integrity analyzer also receives the tapped portions of the WDM output signals and separates them into their single-carrier components in order to recover a set of switched single-carrier optical signals. The path integrity analyzer is further provided with test signal detectors used to detect the presence of a test signal in each recovered switched single-carrier optical signal. The path integrity analyzer thus ascertains the integrity of the connection involving each switched single-carrier optical signal by comparing detected test signals to expected test signals that are derived from a connection map.
