Patent CA-2461446-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HONDA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2003-08-25
Abstract: When rewriting or additionally writing a page in one block of a flash memory, data of the previous block is saved in a page buffer (2). Thus, it is possible to eliminate another save buffer other than the page buffer (2), which reduces the device size than the conventional one. The write object data (DN8 to DN12) to be stored in a page buffer (2) by a host is written in a data area of each page, starting with the first page of the transfer destination block. When completion of transmission of the write object data is notified from the host, the data (D13 to D31, D0 to D7) in the transfer origin block is successively and cyclically transferred to pages of the transfer destination block via the page buffer.

Patent CA-2475898-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCGOLDRICK KEVIN
IPC: B66F9/20
Filed: 2004-07-28
Abstract: A material handling vehicle includes first and second control handles positioned at opposing ends of an operator compartment. The control system receives inputs from each of the first and second control handles and determines an appropriate travel direction and speed based on those inputs. In a normal mode, one of the handles is in the neutral state, and the input of the second handle is therefore used to direct motion of the truck. In a conflict state, each of the first and second control handles is providing a non-neutral travel request, and the control system determines an appropriate travel direction and speed based on a most conservative choice algorithm.

Patent CA-2478835-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAMBACHER GERNOT
IPC: B29C70/64
Filed: 2003-02-05
Abstract: The invention relates to flat extrudates (X) having surfaces that have self- cleaning properties, and to a simple method for producing self-cleaning surfaces of this type. The inventive method is very simple by virtue of the fact that it can involve the use of existing tools. Flat extrudates are generally flattened by using rollers. The inventive method uses these roller s by applying microparticles (P) thereto. As the extrudates are flattened, the se microparticles are transferred to the extrudates while being pressed into th e surface thereof. The inventive method makes it possible to obtain self- cleaning surfaces comprising particles with a fissured structure without having to apply an additional embossed layer or foreign material supporting layer to the shaped bodies. Inventive extrudates can be provided, for exampl e, in the shape of films or panels.

Title: System and method for a self-organizing, reliable, scalable network
Inventor: DAVIES CHRIS
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2004-09-20
Abstract: This network system enables individual nodes in the network to coordinate their activities such that the sum of their activities allows communication between nodes in the network.      This network is similar to existing ad-hoc networks used in a wireless environment. The principle limitation of those networks is the ability to scale past a few hundred nodes. This method overcomes that scaling problem.

Title: Composition for treating cancer containing n,n-dimethylphytosphingosine
Inventor: KIM EUN-JU
IPC: A61K45/06
Filed: 2003-05-01
Abstract: A composition and a kit for treating cancer comprising N, N-dimethylphytosphingosine. The composition represses the activity of sphingosine kinase, and therefore, intercepts various mechanisms which sphingosine kinase induces. For example, the composition blocks the phosphorylation of ceramide and sphingosine, thereby maintaining high concentration of ceramide and sphingosine. The ceramide and sphingosine induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention induces apoptosis in cancer cells and accordingly kills the cancer cells.
