Inventor: KRUGER DEAN J
IPC: B66C1/42
Filed: 1998-01-13
Abstract: A universal gripper has a movable arm locked in a gripping position by abutting against a movable blocking member. A pair of pivoting arms are maintained in their gripping positions by a blocking member being linearly slid between ends of the arms. Varying movable arm configurations can be easily interchanged with each other and mounted to a body by way of a single fixed pivot pin. The opening angle of a gripper arm can be mechanically limited to various positions by selective positioning of an adjustment member.

Patent CA-2462732-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOURAKINE ALEXEI
IPC: C12Q1/6883
Filed: 2002-10-01
Abstract: This invention provides a new in vitro screening method for the detection of protein-protein and other interactions. The method has been developed and applied to a commercial cDNA library to search for novel protein-protein interactions. PDZ, WW and SH3 domains from PSD95, Nedd4, Src, Abl and Crk proteins were used as test targets. 12 novel putative and 2 previously reported interactions were identified for 6 protein interaction modules in test screens. The novel screening format, dubbed TAIS (target-assisted iterative screening), provides an alternative platform to existing technologies for a pair-wise characterization of protein-protein, and other, interactions.

Title: Enhancing resource adapters to facilitate communication in a distributed computer network
Inventor: GREEN JOHN
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to client-server, client-host, or server-server communications in a distributed computer network and, more particularly, to enhancing of resource adapters adapted to facilitate such communications. The present invention is directed to enhancing resource adapters that work with screens. Aspects of the invention, which may be incorporated into or communicate with existing resource adapters, provide a standard screen record for manipulating data on a screen image. The standard screen record provides support for instances where prior knowledge of the screen format or layout is known and for those instances where there is no knowledge of the screen format. Additionally, the standard screen record provides detailed data describing all attributes of a field and of the screen image itself.  Additionally, the invention also provides easy access to the field attribute data. In some embodiments, aspects of the invention may include interfaces which enable tooling to be developed which can then be used to develop applications which utilize the functionality of the other aspects of the invention. This interface could provide a common way for tooling to support resource adapters that implemented the interface.

Patent CA-2467085-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ESHRAGHI SOHEIL
IPC: F16B19/08
Filed: 2002-10-31
Abstract: The present invention provides a tacking rivet for fastening work pieces together which have aligned apertures therethrough. The tacking rivet includ es a head portion and an elongated sleeve portion extending from the head portion. Both the head portion and the sleeve portion have openings therethrough which are in alignment with one another. The tacking rivet further includes a plurality of rib portions positioned on an outer surface of the sleeve portion which are capable of engaging with walls of the apertures of the work pieces when the sleeve portion is expanded within the apertures of the work pieces. Because the rib portions engage with the walls of the apertures of the work pieces, the tacking rivet will not rotate within the apertures during a drilling operation to remove the tacking rivet from the apertures prior to the installation of a permanent fastener to fasten the wo rk pieces together.

Patent CA-2470033-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GLAZER PETER M
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne des méthodes de génération intracellulaire de molécules d'ADN monocaténaire, médiatrices actives d'événements chromosomiques dépendants ou indépendants du triplex. La méthode est fondée sur la découverte selon laquelle des vecteurs ou plasmides viraux peuvent être introduits dans des cellules à manipuler génétiquement, à l'intérieur desquelles ils produisent lesdites molécules d'ADN monocaténaire qui se lient à l'ADN chromosomique cible pour former un triplex capable d'induire une mutation désirée; et/ou peuvent être recombinagènes et induire une modification de l'ADN chromosomique par incorporation d'une molécule d'ADN donneuse. Les vecteurs ou plasmides codent non seulement les TFO, et éventuellement l'ADN donneuse, mais aussi une transcriptase inverse et éventuellement une enzyme de restriction, décrite dans le mode de réalisation préféré comme une protéine hybride qui effectue une transcription inverse de l'ARN codé par le vecteur ou le plasmide, puis le clive au niveau d'un site de l'enzyme de restriction pour produire un ADN monocaténaire. L'ADN monocaténaire peut être produit directement, ou à l'origine comme une structure en tige bicaténaire et boucle monocaténaire qui est ensuite clivée pour produire ledit ADN monocaténaire.

Patent CA-2474111-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLAN GORDON JOHN
IPC: H03L7/089
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: The delay of a section or sections within a delay line is controlled via a secondary low-speed dual-direction delay-line. This secondary delay line is adjusted via a conventional phase-detector, and functions primarily as a dual-direction shift register, but may have a small number of stages which maintain analog voltages between digital equivalents. The mixed-signal control bits/nets can partially switch small capacitances onto the primary delay-line, adjusting the delay in arbitrarily small increments. This approach performs the low-pass filtering required in either analog or digital DLLs/PLLs, yet is smaller, and more power efficient than either. It also prevents the fitter in the output of digital DLLs/PLLs caused when the delay line control switches between distinct digital states. Further, it can be implemented entirely with conventional digital logic, making it attractive for use in integrated circuits/systems wherever synchronization and clock multiplication are necessary.

Title: Ticket tracking and redeeming system and method
Inventor: ESPINOSA DIEGO
IPC: G06Q10/02
Filed: 2005-02-04
Abstract: An automated method and system for facilitating timely use and/or redemption of the unused portion of an electronic ticket are provided. In accordance with the method, ticket data (e.g., from an electronic ticket) is collected from a financial transaction account, then a search engine uses said ticket data to find open tickets. Finding open tickets includes setting an aging period and adding it to the scheduled departure date of the issued ticket, and a reminder period is set and subtracted from the scheduled date of a ticket. If the scheduled departure date plus the aging date is earlier than the current date, a determination is made as to whether the ticket has been used. If the scheduled date minus the reminder period is earlier than the current date, then a message is communicated to the traveler reminding him to use or redeem the ticket. A residual value of the ticket is calculated and list of open tickets with a value related to each ticket is transmitted to the issuing agency to facilitate the issuing agency issuing a refund of the open ticket.
