Title: Integrated global tracking and virtual inventory system
Inventor: WOODS BRUCE L
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2004-12-30
Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated global shipment system that provides end-to-end visibility of the movement of a package. The integrated global shipment system employs a shipment consolidating application for integrating one or more freight tracking systems with one or more end-delivery systems. As a result, shippers are provided with complete visibility of the movement of their shipments of goods from an origin country to a destination country and till the final consignees. In addition, the integrated shipment system significantly decreases the cost of managing inventories by providing a virtual inventory solution. Under this virtual inventory solution, suppliers are able to bypass distribution centers and delay allocation of goods until after the importation of goods into a destination country.

Filed: 2005-02-18
Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for generating clonal root lines, clonal root cell lines, clonal plant cell lines, and clonal plants and for expressing gene products in such cell lines and plants. According to certain of the inventive methods, a viral vector containing a polynucleotide of interest operably linked to a promoter is introduced into a plant or portion thereof. Plant material (e.g., leaf portions) containing the viral vector are used to generate clonal root lines, e.g., by contacting them with A. rhizogenes soas to form hairy roots. The hairy roots are derived from single ancestral cells and are therefore clonal. These clonal root lines contain the viral vector and express the polynucleotide of interest. Clonal root cell lines, clonal plant cell lines, and clonal plants are obtained from the clonal roots. According to certain other inventive methods, a viral vector containing a polynucleotide of interest operably linked to a promoter is introduced into cells of a plant cell line (e.g., pre-existing or newly derived) that is maintained in culture. Clonal plant cell lines that express the polynucleotide of interest are obtained, e.g., by successive rounds of enrichment until a population of cells exhibiting stable expression is obtained. Clonal plants whose cells contain the viral vector are obtained from the clonal plant cell lines using standard methods. The invention provides clonal root lines, clonal root cell lines, clonal plant cell lines, and clonal plants generated using the inventive methods.

Abstract: A computerized tomography device using an X-ray reconstructs a CT image of a sample and processes the CT image. Brown adipose candidate pixels are extracted based on a CT number of each pixel reconstructing the CT image. An erroneous pixel removal process is applied to the candidate pixels. In the erroneous pixel removal process, a boundary pixel removal process, a contraction and expansion process, or the like are applied. With this process, only the brown adipose pixels are extracted. An amount of brown adipose is determined from the brown adipose pixels and an evaluation value such as a brown adipose percentage is calculated based on the amount of brown adipose and amounts of other tissues.

Title: Systems and methods for identifying complex text in a presentation data stream
Inventor: MADER ERIC RICHARD
IPC: G06F17/22
Filed: 2005-03-10
Abstract: Systems and methods of identifying and processing complex text are provided.  If a pre~sentation data stream contains a complex text string, a preselected control in the presentation data stream is inserted before the complex text string. A first parameter has a value indicating a control type for controlling processing of complex text, and a second parameter takes one or more values for enabling and disabling the processing of complex text. In processing complex text, responsive to a first predetermined type of control in a presentation data stream, if the first type of complex text processing is enabled, this processing is applied to a complex text string succeeding the first predetermined type of control in the presentation data stream. The first pre~determined type of control includes a first parameter represented by a corresponding value for controlling the first type of complex text processing.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a novel examination method for accurately judging the efficacy of a treatment with a carcinostatic agent in the administration of the carcinostatic agent targeting a tumor-associated factor receptor. In judging the efficacy of a carcinostatic agent trastuzumab (HerceptinTM), it is found out meaningful to examine the expression of MUC4 which is a substance interacting with HER2/c-erbB-2 belonging to the epithelial cell growth factor receptor family on the surface of a cell membrane and/or in a cell membrane.  Based on this finding, there has been established the significance of a search for the expression of an intracellular ligand to a tumor-associated factor receptor as an examination method before the initiation of a treatment with a carcinostatic agent targeting the receptor for treating various types of cancer.

Abstract: A polarizing plastic lens comprising a polarizing film with low tendency to detachment from an optical resin layer. There is provided polarizing plastic lens (11) comprising polarizing film (13) constituted of a polyvinyl alcohol resin. Two optical resin layers (12a,12b) of different thicknesses may be disposed on both surfaces of the polarizing film (13). The optical resin layers (12a,12b) are formed by polymerizing a polymerization raw material composition in contact with the polarizing film (13). The polymerization raw material composition contains as one main component an isocyanated or isothiocyanated compound. The isocyanate or isothiocyanate group reacts with the hydroxyl of polyvinyl alcohol resin of the polarizing film (13) to thereby form a urethane bond or thiourethane bond, so that the optical resin layers (12a,12b) are strongly unified with the polarizing film (13).

Title: Method and apparatus for triage of network alarms
Inventor: PARELLO JOHN
IPC: G08B23/00
Filed: 2005-04-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for triaging alarms transmitting from monitored entities in a network is provided. A relative importance value and a health value are maintained for each of one or more monitored entities. A monitored entity may be any hardware or software component that is capable of issuing an alarm. In response to receiving an alarm at a monitoring device, a triage value is determined based on both the relative importance value and the health value for the monitored entity associated with the received alarm. The triage value reflects any dependencies that the monitored entity that issued the alarm shares with another monitored entities. The triage value also reflects the current operational status of the monitored entity that issued the alarm.  The monitoring device may determine an order in which the one or more received alarms should be addressed based on the triage value associated with each alarm.
Patent CA-2569114-A1 (CA)
Title: Variator
Inventor: DUTSON BRIAN JOSEPH
IPC: F16H15/38
Filed: 2005-06-07
Abstract: A continuously variable ratio device (~variator~) is disclosed in which a pair of rotary races (252, 254) is mounted for rotation about a common variator axis (218). Drive is transferred from one race to the other through at least one roller (200) running upon them. The drive ratio is variable by virtue of precession of the roller about a precession axis (228). Precession results in a change in angle between the roller axis and the variator axis and a corresponding change in drive ratio. In accordance with the invention, the roller (200) is coupled to a carrier (214) in a manner which permits it to precess relative to the carrier (214). The carrier itself is rotatable about a carrier axis (226) which is non-parallel to the precession axis. Rotation of the carrier (214) about the carrier axis serves to change the orientation of the precession axis (228) and is accompanied by a change in variator drive ratio.
