Patent CA-2184037-A1 (CA)
Title: Stereo camera
Inventor: INABA MINORU
IPC: G03B35/10
Filed: 1996-08-23
Abstract: A stereo camera optimally corrects a parallax despite a photographing distance. Lens boards of right and left photographing lenses are mounted with slide guides for obliquely feeding in an inter-optical axis distance approaching direction as the lens boards are fed. When a focusing knob is rotated, the photographing lenses and a finder lens are integrally advanced or retracted in response to the rotating direction of a cam shaft. The slide guides are so disposed that the right and left visual fields are brought into agreement at a close distance at the close distance photographing and the right and left visual fields are brought into agreement at the close distance as compared with the focal distance at the time of remote distance photo-graphing. Accordingly, the unnatural of the remote or close distance feeling generated by the influence of the close distance subject at the human collimation at the time of remote distance photographing, and ideal stereo effect is obtained at all the photographing distances.

Title: Energy efficient closure frame and closure assembly
Inventor: THWAITES STEPHEN D
IPC: E06B3/30
Filed: 1996-09-06
Abstract: A frame member for an opening in the wall of a structure and the complete closure assemblies for these openings are described. The frame member has an overlapping component adapted to overlap a wall face and provide a surface for seating a closure, a support component, and optionally a sealing component for sealing against the closure. For example a window frame member for the opening in the wall of a building and the complete assemblies are described. Preferably the seating surface in the overlapping component is one side of a profile which is hollow, hollow-with-reinforcing, or foam filled. The frame member is adapted to allow the closure, particularly a glazing panel and sash, to approach closely, the support component and fill an increased percentage of the opening compared to prior designs. This is advantageous since recently designed panels, especially glazing panels, are often more energy efficient than the frame or sash-plus-frame used to mount them.

Title: Recombinant humanized anti-lk26 antibodies
Inventor: WALLACE THOMAS P
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 1995-03-08
Abstract: The invention provides for the production of several humanized murine antibodiesspecific for the antigen LK26, which is recognized by the murine antibody LK26. This antigen is expressed on all choriocarcinoma, teratocarcinoma and renal cancer cell lines whereas it is not expressed on cell lines of leukaemias, lymphomas, neuroectodermally-derived and epithelial tumour cell lines (excepting a small subset of epithelial cell lines). Furthermore, whereas renal cancer cell lines express the LK26 antigen, normal renal epithelial cells do not. Similarly, with the exception of the trophoblast, all normal adult and fetal tissues tested are negative for the LK26 phenotype. The invention also provides for numerous polynucleotide encoding humanized LK26 specific antibodies, expression vectors for producing humanized LK26 specific antibodies, and host cells for the recombinant production of the humanized antibodies. The invention also provides methods for detecting cancerous cells (in vitro and in vivo) using humanized LK26 specific antibodies. Additionally, the invention provides methods of treating cancer using LK26 specific antibodies.

Title: Detection of Hydrophobic Amplification Products by Extraction Into an Organic Phase
Inventor: WALKER G TERRANCE
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1996-07-18
Abstract: Amplification of a target sequence is detected qualitatively or quantitatively by concurrent generation of secondary amplification products labeled with a lipophilic label. The secondary amplification products are designed such that they are generated and cleaved or nicked in a target amplification-dependent manner. This reduces the number of hydrophilic nucleotides linked to the lipophilic label and allows the cleaved or nicked secondary amplification product comprising the lipophilic label to be transferred from the aqueous reaction phase to an organic phase for detection as an indicator of target amplification.

Patent CA-2201737-A1 (CA)
Title: Heterojunction energy gradient structure
Inventor: DAVIS GARY A
IPC: H01L31/103
Filed: 1995-10-25
Abstract: A smooth and monotonic potential energy gradient was established at a p-type (InGa)As - undoped InP heterojunction to efficiently transfer conduction electrons from the (InGa)As:p layer (14) to the InP:? layer (20). This potential energy gradient was established with a compositionally graded p-type semiconductor alloy layer (16) and an n-type InP built-in field layer (18) interposed at the heterojunction. The compositionally graded semiconductor alloy layer spatially distributes the conduction band discontinuity of the (InGa)As - InP heterojunction and the InP:n built-in field layer eliminates potential energy barries from the conduction band over a wide range of externally-applied biases including no externally applied bias. The smooth and monotonic potential energy gradient thus established promotes efficient transfer of the conduction electrons due to drift from the (InGa)As:p layer to the large bandgap InP collector layer where they contribute to the output current of any number of electronic devices. The utility of this potential energy grading structure was demonstrated in a transferred-electron photocathode device wherein the efficient transfer of photoelectrons from the (InGa)As:p absorber layer to the InP:? electron-transfer layer has been utilized.

Inventor: KAMENTSKY LOUIS A
IPC: C12Q1/6841
Filed: 1995-10-13
Abstract: A method for the accurate counting of DNA probe spots in cell nuclei wherein anomalies caused by a two dimensional measurement of a three dimensional cell sample are eliminated from evaluation. DNA probe spots in cell nuclei which are counted by means of Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) include cells wherein probe spots of different countoured cells are overlaid or are detected as being adjacent one another with resultant erroneous diagnostic results such as with cancer detection or prognosis. A gating fluorescent value is determined by clusters of fluorescence in regions of non-anormalous values of fluorescence determined by plotting peak flouorescent value against area. The loci of the non-anomalous peak values cluster in specifically definable regions whereby fluorescent values for cells which deviate from the gating fluorescent value, are discounted in the preparation of histograms or other diagnostic measurements.
