Patent CA-2338949-A1 (CA)
Title: Ergonomic handle attachment for welding torch
Inventor: ZAMUNER FRANK
IPC: B23K9/28
Filed: 2001-02-28
Abstract: The attachment provides an overhandle, which overlies the handle of the torch, thereby creating a tapering space. The welder places the first web area of the hand into the space, whereupon the connection between the hand and the torch is made more secure. The welder can manipulate the torch, without the need to exert a constant tight gripping force on the torch. The attachment includes side-cheeks which provide even more of a constraining connection between the hand and the torch. The attachment is adjustable as to position and angle with respect to the torch.

Title: Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor associated proteins, cloning, expression and methods of use
Inventor: PAPADOPOULOS VASSILIOS
IPC: C12N1/15
Filed: 1999-08-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acids encoding PBR-associated proteins (PAPs) and methods for use in producing PAPs and methods of using PAPs. In this study we have identified proteins (PAPs) that interact with PBR  protein by a yeast two-hybrid system. We used PBR as bait to screen a mouse testis cDNA library. Five clones were isolated based on their ability to interact with PBR. These proteins may be involved in the regulation of the function of PBR, serving as an endogenous ligand or allosteric modulator of the receptor.

Patent CA-2343437-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and system for cross platform, parallel processing
Inventor: LU YEN
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2001-04-06
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention, given a conventional makefile which builds targets in serial mode, will process (e.g., compile, link, pre-process, execute, etc.) commands in parallel on those targets which, as a result of a lack of interdependency, can be built in any order. Embodiments may first identify one or more targets (i.e., object files) which are candidates for parallel compilation ("parallelization"). From the targets identified instructions are generated, which may be stored in a file, which provides the identity of targets for parallelization and the order in which these targets should be built. The instructions may then be executed (resulting in some instructions being executed in parallel) thus providing reduced compiling time and, thus, improving productivity.

Title: System and method for re-routing of e-mail messages
Inventor: MCDOWELL MARK E
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the re-routing of e-mail sent to a prior address (or an address that is non-working, or temporarily inconvenient) to the new address of an intended recipient. E-mail that is to be sent to a recipient is sent to the former Internet Service Provider (ISP). Because the recipient is no longer a subscriber to the old ISP, or because the address at the old ISP  is temporarily inconvenient, the e-mail is re-routed to a re-route server of the present invention. The re-route server then causes the e-mail to be sent to the correct address through a variety of processes. Alternatively, new e-mail addresses are made available at the old ISP. The old ISP can then forward e-mail messages directly to the new ISP.
