Title: Cylinder mount for an agricultural frame
Inventor: MOSDAL BRIAN THOMAS
IPC: A01B73/04
Filed: 2000-09-14
Abstract: A cylinder mounting arrangement for a folding implement includes reversible L-shaped plates supporting an auxiliary tube above a transverse tool supporting beam. The attaching location on the beam can be changed to avoid interference with the desired tool spacing by reversing the plates. The same plates and auxiliary tubes can be used on a number of different implements and with different main frame widths to reduce manufacturing costs and the number of parts that have to be stocked. The reversible plates can be selectively mounted on the main frame with the plates inside or outside of the fore-and-aft tubes connected to the transversely extending tube, depending on the tool placement on the main frame. Therefore, a wide variety of tool spacings can be accommodated in the region under the tube and between the fore-and-aft tubes.

Patent CA-2328436-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IRVINE DARRELL J
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-04-13
Abstract: Synthetic comb copolymers which elicit controlled cellular response, methods of applying these polymers to various surfaces, and methods of using the polymers for modifying biomaterial surfaces, in tissue engineering applications and as drug delivery devices are provided. The comb copolymers are comprised of hydrophobic polymer backbones and hydrophilic, non-cell binding side chains which can be end-capped with cell-signaling ligands that guide cellular response. By mixing non-cell binding combs with ligand-bearing combs, the surface concentration and spatial distribution of one or more types of ligands, including adhesion peptides and growth factors, can be tuned on a surface to achieve desired cellular response. In one embodiment, the combs are used as stabilizing agents for dispersion polymerization of latexes. The comb-stabilized latexes can be applied to substrates by standard coating operations to create a bioregulating surface, or used as drug delivery agents. In another embodiment, the combs can be blended in small quantities to a hydrophobic matrix polymer and processed to affect the surface segregation of the comb.

Title: Reverse link outer loop power control with adaptive compensation
Inventor: SAMPATH ASHWIN
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2001-01-05
Abstract: In a wireless communications system, a base station employs a bit error rate (BER) based Reverse Outer Loop Power Control (ROLPC) technique. The ROLPC technique uses either instantaneous or weakly filtered values of the BER for comparison with a BER target value for adjusting a target signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The BER  target value is varied as a function of a second order statistic (e.g. variance, standard deviation) of the received SNR. In another embodiment, a symbol error count based ROLPC  technique uses adaptive SER targets. In particular, a base station uses a 2nd order statistic, e.g., standard deviation (variance), to identify, or act as a signature of, a particular cellular (wireless) communications environment. The base station monitors the standard deviation of the symbol error count of a received signal (transmitted from a mobile station). The target signal-to-noise ratio ((E b/N0)T) of this received signal is adjusted as a function of the value of the standard deviation and the adjusted (E b/N0)T target is used to provide power control.

Patent CA-2345545-A1 (CA)
Title: Radioactively coated devices
Inventor: SIMPSON THOMAS J
IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 2001-04-27
Abstract: This invention relates to radioactively coated devices, preferably radioactively coated medical devices. These coated devices are characterized as having a low rate of leaching of the radioisotope from the surface of the coated device and a uniform radioactive coating, and are therefore suitable for use within biological systems. Methods for coating a device with a radioisotope comprising are also disclosed. One method comprises immersing the device within a solution containing a .gamma., .beta.+, .alpha., .beta.- or ~(electron capture) emitting radioisotope, then exposing the immersed substrate to tuned vibrational cavitation to produce a coated substrate. A second method involves coating a substrate using electroless plating, and yet a third method involves the use of electroplating a radioisotope onto a substrate of interest. With these methods, the coating procedures are followed by baking the coated substrate at a temperature below the recrystallization temperature of the substrate. Substrates coated using the methods of this invention exhibit very low rates of leaching of the coated radioisotope, and are suitable for use within medical applications, for example as stents, catheters, seeds, protheses, vavles, staples and other wound closure devices, where a localized therapeutic treatment is desired.

Abstract: A method for evaluating financial plans include the steps of defining personal information (102) and account properties (104) and opening balances of each account (108). The opening balances represent the actual present values of the accounts. A planned contribution of each account (110) and planned retirement distributions (112) and withdrawal information (116) are then defined by the user. Allocation of assets by categories (120) and tax information (122) are provided by the user. The performance in a predetermined initial value of investment over a selected time period is then calculated based on changes in value over a first historical data, separately for each asset allocation and tax status (126) to obtain a changed investment value. The changed investment value is updated based on a second time interval to obtain a further changed investment value.  The investment value is then adjusted based on at least one of a contribution amount and a withdrawal amount.
