Title: Cycle lock
Inventor: HUGHES ROBERT
IPC: B62H5/14
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: A locking mechanism for bicycle or motorcycle wheels. The mechanism is a through-the-wheel lock that has a hook that attaches to a stationary fixed object, such as a pole. A first embodiment of the invention has a holding bracket attached to one side of the vehicle's front fork. A locking bracket is mounted on the other side of the front fork, directly opposite the holding bracket. A locking cane having a U-shaped end hook includes a number of racket teeth on the end of the cane opposite the end hook. The holding bracket has a first opening for holding the locking bar in an inoperative position, and a second opening for holding the locking cane in a position wherein the racket teeth end of the cane inserts between the front wheel spokes and into engagement with the locking mechanism. The end hook is looped around a pole, (or other suitable stationary object), and the cane is pushed into the locking mechanism until the bar and cycle are snug. A second embodiment includes a swivel on the holding bracket for holding the locking cane in both the inoperative and operative positions.
Patent CA-2249813-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GEHI GOPAL MENGHRAJ
IPC: H04B3/20
Filed: 1998-10-06
Abstract: A method of responding to overload in a real time control system. Overload is measured through the use of a control parameter such as the occupancy of a control processor or the number of entries in a queue of a module of the system. The overload indication is reduced to one of a plurality of levels. The levels corresponding to a longer term more serious overload are based on control parameter measurements over a longer period of time than the less serious short term overload levels. With autonomous control, each module of the system determines its own overload level and performs overload control actions corresponding to that level. In integrated system overload control, a centralized processor receives overload indications from each of the modules of the system and requests an appropriate overload control action of each module. Advantageously, these arrangements allow the system and its modules to respond to overload more rapidly and to return to normal operation more rapidly.

Abstract: In a method for manipulation of a movable object displayed in a television picture, the distance between the object and fixed basic positions is detected at a time t together with the distance between the object and a television camera in a known position. The object's position is converted to a position X, Y in the television camera's picture plane, generating therein a synthetic object which overlays the movable object and represents it in the television picture. In a method for generating a synthetic track which represents the path of a movable object displayed in television pictures during a period .theta., the path of the object is calculated on the basis of its detected positions, and these positions are used for generating a synthetic track which is displayed in a television picture in order to represent the path of the object in the period T.

Title: Resource allocation mechanism in packet radio network
Inventor: MUSTAJARVI JARI
IPC: H04W8/26
Filed: 1998-03-25
Abstract: In a packet radio system (e.g. a GPRS), a network (BSS) has two different alternatives for allocating a radio resource to a mobile sta-tion (MS). In a first allocation alternative the ra-dio resource is allocated using an uplink counter block identifier (USF) transmitted with down-link blocks. In a second allocation alterna-tive the radio resource is allocated in a sepa-rate signalling message. A corresponding down-link block then also has an uplink counter block identifier (USF) which can acquire only a lim-ited number of possible values. If all identifiers (USF) are allocated to different mobile stations, allocation alternative 2 cannot be used. In the invention the network leaves at least one identi-fier (USF) unallocated to any mobile station. In addition, the network either (1) uses the identi-fier in downlink blocks corresponding to blocks reserved using the second allocation alternative;  or (2) at least one uplink counter block identifier (USF) is separately determined, said identifier denoting a reserved uplink block which the mo-bile station cannot use for transmission without a separate authorisation.

Title: 2-cyclopenten-1-one as an inducer of hsp70
Inventor: AMICI CARLA
IPC: A61P31/22
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: The invention relates to 2-cyclopenten-1-one as an inducer of the heat shock protein HSP70 by activating the heat shock transcription factor HSF, and selectively inducing the transcription and translation of HSP70 in human cells. In particular, since a cytoprotective role of HSP70 during viral infection was previously shown, the invention refers to 2-cyclopenten-1-one and its pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives as inducers of HSP70 with antiviral activity. Treatment with 2-cyclopenten-1-one and its pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives causes a dose-dependent reduction of infectious virus yield during infection with vesicular stomatitis virus. The block of virus replication is due to inhibition of viral protein synthesis, associated with HSP70 synthesis.
Patent CA-2259664-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STOLLERY DAVID
IPC: G01B11/22
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: Method and apparatus for automotive tire condition and other article assessment is based upon radiation analysis of a rotated tire. Analysis of reflected radition on the basis of intensity sensing provides a measure of tread depth and sidewall profile, together with tread location and other data.  By positional analysis of the tread depth locations there is provided complementary information on the tread wear pattern. Sidewall profile determination enables identification of other tire condition factors. Tread depth and sidewall profile are also determined by laser or other radiation line image displacement techniques and a mounting system is provided for the apparatus enabling determinations to be made without the use of a roller bed.  Proper positional alignment of the wheel to the apparatus is determined by means of a reference datum derived from reflected radiation within the apparatus. Proper defined proximity of the tire is defined by a pair of alignment bars positioned over an optical window of the apparatus.
