Title: Method and apparatus for securely transmitting and authenticating biometric data over a network
Inventor: GLASS RANDAL W
IPC: G07D9/00
Filed: 2002-10-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for collecting and securely transmitting biometric da ta over a network contains a sensor, preferably a camera (6), for collecting biometric data and code generating hardware and software. The camera data is digitized (8) and a unique code which is a function of the digitized camera data, a secret key and a transaction token is attached to the digital file. The code may identify the sensor which acquired the biometric information, a time at which the biometric information was acquired, or a time interval during which the data is considered to be valid, and a unique transaction code. The data and code are transmitted over a network (9) to a server which authenticates that the data has not been altered by recomputing the code usi ng its own knowledge of the secret key and transaction token needed to generate the code. If the data is authentic the server then computes a biometric template using the data. This biometric template is then compared to a previously defined biometric template to identify the user and give the user access to a secured resource. Components to generate the biometric template may be included in the imaging device. A mutual authentication system may verify that both the server and the client are authentic.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif atomiseur de liquide à actionnement piézo-électrique, qui applique des tensions alternatives provenant d'une prise de courant murale ordinaire, à un actionneur piézo-électrique , par intermittence, et à un débit élevé, suffisant pour faire qu'une plaque d'atomisation mise en vibrations par l'actionneur, forme de petites gouttelettes d'un liquide acheminé jusqu'à la plaque. L'application intermittente de tensions à l'actionneur piézo-électrique intervient en fonction d'un cycle de travail dans lequel les temps de déconnexion sont ajustables. Il est prévu un surpassement du cycle de travail, de sorte que l'actionneur piézo-électrique fonctionne en continu pendant des intervalles à commande manuelle ou automatique.

Title: Assaying apparatus, kit, and method for lipids and associated enzymes
Inventor: NEILSEN PAUL
IPC: G01N33/92
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: A lipid assay method, kit, and apparatus involving exposure of a protein, having a lipid recognition motif that interacts with a target lipid and a competing lipid, to a solution containing the competing lipid, and determini ng whether the target lipid is present in the solution. The target lipid has a stronger affinity to the lipid recognition motif than does the competing lipid. The lipid recognition motif is preferably a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, with the target lipid being a phosphoinositide. The assay determines activity of a lipid kinase, the target lipid being a phosphorylation product of a reaction between the lipid kinase and a substrate lipid. The assay can be a cancer screening method for detection of cancer cells, where detection of certain levels of a PI(3,4,5)P3 target lipid is an indicator of a cancer cel l.

Abstract: A process and equipment for an automated lumber end-scan system includes a conveyer to carry sawn lumber in a direction transverse to the axis of the boards, a light source to illuminate at least one butt end of each board as it passes by a scanning region, at least one digital camera to capture an image of each end face, and a processing unit to convert the digital signal into useable information.  The digital signal is analyzed to obtain information about both natural and manufacturing defects that might be present at the end of the lumber and also to obtain further information about the properties of the lumber from the location of the pith, the growth rings and the grain pattern. This information may be used to augment the analysis of defects present in the entire board for determination of the final grade within an automatic lumber grading system. The system can also be used on a stand-alone basis and integrated into a non-automated grading area as a grader assist device.

IPC: A61K39/29
Filed: 2002-06-14
Abstract: The present invention describes a therapeutic approach by which malignant or other diseased tissues are at least partly eliminated or removed by action of the diseased individuals own immune system. Provided that the diseased tissue is a cancer the present invention relates to the field of cancer immunotherapy. The basic principle of the invention relies on the establishment of an immune response in the diseased individual against a selected antigen. This is followed by the transfer of the antigen to the diseased cells of the individual by which the elicited immune response is directed against the diseased cells whereby the diseased tissue is eliminated.  The immunogen used to induce the immunological response may be, but is not required to be, identical to the antigen. The immuneresponse may exist prior to treatment due to natural infections or may be established by vaccination or by a combination hereof. However, for some applications the active immune component may be provided from heterologous sources and transferred to the individual undergoing treatment e.g. passive transfer of antibodies obtained from another individual or animal or by means of recombinant technology.
