Title: Assay methods and compositions useful for measuring receptor ligand binding
Inventor: DEMCHYSHYN LIDIA
IPC: G01N33/566
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: This invention provides a system for screening chemical compounds to identify ligands for receptors including G-protein coupled receptors. The invention exploits cells in which the receptor is coupled through a second messenger system to an ion channel that is gated by cyclic nucleotide. Receptor stimulation causes the second messenger system to produce cyclic nucleotide, which results in ion influx through the channel. By measuring ion influx fluorescently, the invention provides a rapid and convenient means for identifying receptor ligands. By providing mixed cell cultures that include cells expressing different receptor types, and by loading into those cells different fluorescent reporters of ion influx, the invention further provides a multiplexed system that accelerates the ligand identification process. Cells useful in the process, and mehtods for exploiting them, are described.

IPC: B04C3/06
Filed: 1998-07-01
Abstract: A method of removing a selected gaseous component from a stream of fluid containing a plurality of gaseous components is provided.  The stream is induced to flow at supersonic velocity through a conduit so as to decrease the temperature of the fluid to below a selected temperature at which one of condensation and solidification of the selected component occurs thereby forming particles of the selected component, the conduit being provided with swirl imparting means to impart a swirling motion to the stream of fluid thereby inducing the particles to flow to a radially outer section of a collecting zone in the stream. A shock wave is created in the stream so as to decrease the axial velocity of the fluid to subsonic velocity, and the particles are extracted into an outlet stream from said radially outer section of the collecting zone, wherein the shock wave is created downstream the swirl imparting means and upstream the collecting zone.

Patent CA-2300780-A1 (CA)
Title: Integrated photonic switch
Inventor: ROORDA PETER D
IPC: H04L12/931
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: The integrated photonic switch can be used in all-optical networks. incoming multiplexed signals from a number of input fiber ports are separated into their component wavelengths. Individual wavelengths are switched within the switch fabric towards the desired output, and the wavelengths are then multiplexed into WDM signals directed to the appropriate output ports. The multiplexer and demultiplexer are diffraction grating devices, integrated with the switch fabric. The switch fabric includes two matrices of 3-D MEMS mirrors arranged in the same plane, or in two parallel planes. The optical path between the input ports, the demultiplexer and the input matrix is pre-set so that each wavelength is incident on a certain mirror. Similarly, the geometry of the output matrix, the multiplexer and the output ports determines uniquely the wavelengths on a certain port. However, the position of the mirrors may be adjusted with a control system, so that the path of a wavelength within the switch fabric is adjustable, so that a wavelength input on a port may output the switch on any port.

Inventor: TRIGGS ALAN
IPC: H04B1/715
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de déterminer et d'instituer en temps réel, dans un système de radiocommunication, un saut de fréquence préféré. La vitesse moyenne des stations mobiles à l'intérieur d'une cellule est déterminée ou estimée au moyen de diverses techniques. Si cette vitesse moyenne est inférieure à un seuil prédéterminé, on institue un saut de fréquence cyclique de manière à obtenir une diversité de fréquences plus élevée et par conséquent à lutter contre les amorces d'évanouissement à petite échelle. Si cette vitesse moyenne est supérieure à un seuil prédéterminé, on institue alors une séquence de saut de fréquence aléatoire de manière augmenter le moyennage des interférences et à lutter, par conséquent, contre les interférences inter-canal. On peut également utiliser des retardateurs et l'hystéresis pour améliorer la stabilité et lutter contre les fluctuations à court terme. On répète périodiquement la mesure de la vitesse moyenne et la comparaison de la vitesse moyenne par rapport au seuil.

Title: Modular interleaver/deinterleaver
Inventor: HEFFNER BRIAN
IPC: G02B27/10
Filed: 2001-01-08
Abstract: Modularized interleaver/deinterleavers are described.  Interleaver/deinterleaver apparatuses for combining/separating optical channels are described. An interleaver/de-interleaver apparatus is described as folded when an optical signal follows an optical path that passes through a birefringent assembly multiple times. When operating as a deinter-leaver, the interleaver/deinterleaver separates an optical signal (e.g., WDM signal) into subsets of optical signals (e.g., channels). In one embodiment, deinterleaving optical signals separates an optical signal into even and odd International Telecommunications Union (ITU) channels. When operating as an interleaver, the interleaver/deinterleaver mixes subsets of optical signals (e.g., channels) into a multiplexed (e.g., WDM) optical signal. The interleaver/deinterleaver apparatus can be used to increase the bandwidth of an optical network. For example, the interleaver/deinterleaver can be used to interface components designed for a first channel spacing (e.g., 100 GHz) to components designed for a second channel spacing (e.g., 200 GHz). In one embodiment, interleaving combines even and odd ITU channels into a single optical signal. In one embodiment, an interleaver/deinterleaver includes multiple birefringent cells made of one or more birefringent crystals. The birefringent cells are placed together with one or more half wave plates and/or walk-off crystals in a package. The individual birefringent cells can be angle tuned or tuned with tuning plates made of, for example, quartz. The interleaver/deinterleaver can also be tuned with a tuning plate.
