Title: Systems and methods for enhancing fluorescent detection of target molecules in a test sample
Inventor: CHAN WARREN CHE WOR
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2008-07-09
Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing fluorescent detection of target molecules in a test sample are for use with an irradiating device. First fluorophores are provided for absorption of EMF radiation, and emission of a first signal. Second fluorophores are provided for partial absorption of the first signal, and emission of a second signal distinguishable from the first signal. The fluorophores are combined with the test sample, and secured to the target molecules and relative to one another. After the first fluorophores receive the EMF radiation from the irradiating device, the first signal is detected, together with the second spectral signal if the target molecules are present in the test sample.
Patent CA-2693559-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ARKWRIGHT JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2007-07-23
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for pressure sensing. The apparatus comprises a series of Bragg gratings and a light guide incorporating the series of Bragg gratings. The apparatus also comprises a plurality of moveable wall portions having opposite first and second sides. Each moveable wall portion is positioned so that a change in pressure at one of the sides relative to a pressure at the other side will move the moveable wall portion that is coupled to respective Bragg gratings so that the movement of one of the moveable wall portion causes a force on the respective Bragg grating resulting in a change in strain of the respective Bragg grating. An internal space at each Bragg grating is in fluidal communication with an internal space at an adjacent Bragg grating whereby pressure differences between adjacent internal spaces are reduced.

Title: Method and system for open-ended receiver telecommunication
Inventor: DI GIOVANNI ALIDO
IPC: H04W4/16
Filed: 2010-04-30
Abstract: In today's telecommunications networks, signals for live communications are established by connecting the initiator of the communications ("the Initiators") with the known and predetermined receivers ("the Receivers") they have chosen.  Moreover, live communications can only be established within the limited time delays predetermined by network operators with respect to the time delay between the initiation by the Initiator and the acceptance by the Receiver.   The present invention enables Initiators to select a group of as-yet unknown and undetermined Receivers - based on characteristics such as physical location, regional affiliation, common ideas as determined by keyword searches, and other characteristics common to the selected group of Receivers - whom they wish to initiate a live communication session with. The Receiver is actually determined only if and when one or more qualified Receiver(s) elect to accept the invitation to communicate.  Moreover, an initiation to communicate may remain active for an undetermined time period, until a qualified Receiver elects to answer, or until the Initiator decides to terminate it.
