Patent CA-2353468-A1 (CA)
Title: Radioconjugation of internalizing antibodies
Inventor: ZALUTSKY MICHAEL R
IPC: A61K51/10
Filed: 1999-11-30
Abstract: Antibodies to cell surface ligands such as EGFRvIII can be used to therapeutically or diagnosticallly deliver a radiolabel to tumor cells with high selectivity. The utility of radioconjugated internalizing antibodies is  limited, however, by release of the label and its reuptake into normal cells . The invention provides new technology for radioconjugation of internalizing antibodies which reduces the release of label and improves retention of radioconjugated antibodies in lysosomes, where radiation is more effectively  and selectively delivered to the nucleus of tumor cells.
Patent CA-2353807-A1 (CA)
Title: Continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring method and apparatus
Inventor: DILL RYAN PETER
IPC: A61B5/021
Filed: 2001-07-25
Abstract: A non-invasive apparatus and method for monitoring the blood pressure of a subject detects a pulse signal at both a first and second location on the subject's body. The elapsed time between the arrival of corresponding points of the pulse signal at the first and second locations is determined. Blood pressure is related to the elapsed time by relationships such as:        P = a + b ln(T), where a and b are constants dependent upon the nature of the subject and the signal detecting devices. The system can be calibrated by measuring a single pair of reference blood pressure and corresponding elapsed time.
Patent CA-2357424-A1 (CA)
Title: Disc case
Inventor: SHINDO YOICHI
IPC: B65D85/57
Filed: 2001-09-18
Abstract: A recess is formed in a tray of a disc case.      A peripheral wall portion of the recess is formed having disc supporting portions that support a disc in a manner such that the recording surface of the disc is floating. Spring elements are arranged along slots that are formed in the peripheral wall portion.      Each spring element is formed having a protuberance and a guide surface. As the disc is inserted into the recess, the spring elements bend with their respective guide surfaces touched by an outer peripheral portion of the disc. The outer peripheral portion of the disc moves into the space inside the protuberances of the spring elements. When the disc is in the recess, the protuberances prevent the disc from slipping out of the recess.

Title: Method and apparatus for milling openings in downhole structures
Inventor: OHMER HERVE
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: A whipstock-less milling apparatus and method for use in a wellbore having a first structure (e.g., a tubular structure such as a casing, liner, or other tubular structure) includes a support element, at least one mill supported by the support element, and a deflection apparatus to deflect the at least one mill to engage the first structure to form an opening in the first structure. In one example, the opening is a window cut through a casing or liner to allow a change in the trajectory of the wellbore or to form a lateral branch from the wellbore in a multilateral well. In another example, one or more axial slots can be formed in the casing or liner to enable propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves through the slotted casing or liner to measure characteristics of the surrounding formation. In yet a further example, sensors, gauges, and other measurement devices may be placed in a window or outside pocket formed by the whipstock-less milling apparatus. Deflection of the at least one mill is controlled by a deflecting actuator unit activated in response to rotation of a rotatable shaft. The rotation of the rotatable shaft also causes rotation of the at least one mill. When the at least one mill is deflected to engage the first structure, it cuts the opening into the first structure. While the at least one mill is still rotating, longitudinal displacement of the at least one mill is controlled by a feed actuator unit to form an opening having a desired length.
