Patent CA-2389055-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CARMAN JOHN G
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to the induction, stabilization, and control of apomixis (asexual seed formation) in angiosperms for the purpose of producing, improving, and economically using superior-yielding agamic crops (crops possessing a capacity for both sexual and apomictic seed production).  "Stabilizing" apomixis refers to processes that either convert a facultative apomict to obligate apomixis or confer mechanisms to a facultative apomict that prevent, during facultative sexual seed formation, the recombination of genes that cause apomixis such that progeny produced sexually from said facultative apomict inherit the allelic combinations required for apomixis.  More specifically the present invention relates to (i) the production of two or more sets of genetically divergent sexual lines, either inbred or outcrossed, which sets of parental lines remain homozygous for genes that cause apomixis when hybrids are produced by crossing a member of one of such sets of lines with a member of another set, (ii) the hybridization of sexual inbred or outcrossed parental lines to produce apomicts, (iii) the stabilization of such apomicts through cytogenetic or molecular modifications, (iv) the improvement of apomicts by breeding or genetically engineering parental lines or apomicts, (v) the modification of facultative apomicts to abort female meiosis resulting in obligate apomixis except when a recombinant DNA that aborts meiosis is inhibited, and (vi) the modification of facultative apomicts to remain facultative except during inducible expression of a recombinant DNA that causes obligate apomixis by aborting meiosis. The various facets of this biological operating system may be selectively combined for the efficient production, improvement, and use of agamic crops.

Title: Method and apparatus for wire speed ip multicast forwarding
Inventor: BROWN DAVID A
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-11-30
Abstract: In a switch including a plurality of ports, an IP Multicast packet arriving on an ingress port a copy of the receiver packet is forwarded to each member of the IP Multicast group at wire-speed. The packet is bridged once to a given egress port and may be routed multiple times out of the egress port. If multiple subnets exist on an egress port, each subnet that requires a copy of the packet will receive the packet with its VLAN ID included in the packet.  The received IP Multicast packet for an IP Multicast group is stored in memory, a pointer to the location of the packet in memory is stored for each port to which a copy of the packet is to be forwarded. An IP Multicast forwarding entry is provided for the IP Multicast group. The forwarding entry includes a modification entry for each packet to be forwarded to the IP  Multicast group. A copy of the stored packet is modified dependent on the modification entry and forwarded in the next available port cycle for the port.

Title: Compressor
Inventor: HA JONG-HUN
IPC: F04C18/356
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: A compressor including a cylinder assembly having a compression space through which suction passages and discharge passages are connected, a rotation driving unit inserted into the compression space of the cylinder assembly to transfer a rotation force, a slant compression slanted plate installed in the compression space to divide the compression space into at least two parts and rotating by being connected to the rotation driving unit, and vane units attached on both sides of the slant compression plate to classify the partitioned compression space into a suction space and a compression. With this construction, a vibration and a noise can be reduced and a stable driving force can be obtained even with a relatively small capacity electric motor. In addition, since fluid can be compressed and discharged simultaneously in both sides of the slant compression plate, an excellent compression performance can be accomplished in a simple structure.

Title: Cation mediated triplex hybridization assay
Inventor: DAKSIS JASMINE I
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-07-09
Abstract: Triplex complexes contain a single-stranded probe bound to a double-stranded nucleic acid target, in which the probe includes a heteropolymeric nucleic acid or a heteropolymeric nucleic acid analog. All base triplets of the complex are members selected from the group consisting of A-T-A, T-A-T, U-A-T, T-A-U, A-U-A, U-A-U, G-C-G and C-G-C. A cation-facilitated assay includes detecting the presence of such triplex complexes to determine the degree of complementarity between the probe and target sequence. The assay preferably detects a change in fluorescent intensity of a label as a function of binding affinity between the probe and target. The label can be covalently tethered to the probe or to the target, or can be an intercalating fluorophore in the reaction medium.
Patent CA-2416553-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WERNER HARRY F
IPC: F27B7/24
Filed: 2003-01-16
Abstract: The invention is based on the problem of designing an endless sealing ring for the end wall seal of rotary kilns so that it guarantees a high degree of sealing effectiveness with simpler assembly. The most desired features are small tolerances for cross section and diameter. Rotary-kiln end-wall seals according to the invention should exhibit very low wear and tear if possible and have a service life that corresponds to the maintenance intervals of the rotary kiln as much as possible. This problem is solved for an annular, closed seal for the end seal of a rotary kiln between the rotating tube and the stationary end walls, wherein a core ring has a polygonal, preferably rectangular, cross section with a joint protected from tensile loads and the core ring is surrounded by an endless braid to form the desired final cross section, such that the joint of the core ring is fixed and protected from tension, preferably by tension-relieving threads or fibers extending in the ring circumferential direction and anchored on both sides of the joint.

Title: Evaluating binding affinities by force stratification and force panning
Inventor: MOSHER CURTIS
IPC: G01Q60/00
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: The present invention is a method for selectively removing objects from a surface utilizing a probe. The probe is scanned over the surface utilizing a greater and greater relative amount of force so that a certain number of the objects are removed from the surface. The force required to remove the objects from the surface can be calculated utilizing Hook's law and the spring constant of the probe. After removal of the objects that have a relatively weaker binding affinity with the surface, the remaining objects can be harvested, characterized, and subjected to further study.
Patent CA-2432111-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KINZLER KENNETH W
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 2001-12-12
Abstract: Through global profiling of genes that were expressed soon after p53 expression, we identified a gene termed (JFY1). The protein encoded by (JFY1 ) was found to be exclusively mitochondrial and to bind to Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL through a BH3 domain. Exogenous expression of (JFY1) resulted in an extremel y rapid and profound apoptosis that occurred much earlier than that resulting from exogenous expression of p53. Based on its unique expression patterns, p 53- dependence, and biochemical properties,(JFY1) is likely to be a direct mediator of p53-associated apoptosis.
