Patent CA-2425076-A1 (CA)
Title: Cloning endangered and extinct species
Inventor: DAMIANI PHILIP
IPC: A01K67/027
Filed: 2001-10-05
Abstract: Approximately 100 species become extinct a day. Despite increasing interest in using cloning to rescue endangered species, successful interspecies nuclear transfer has not been previously described, and only a few report of in vitro embryo formation exist. Here it is shown that interspecies nuclear transfer can be used to clone an endangered species with normal karyo- and phenotypic development through implantation and the late stages of fetal growth, resulting in a newborn animal.
Patent CA-2425934-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCKAY DANNY N
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1998-07-14
Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a method of communication in a medium, for a communication network having a number of stations, using Medium Access Control protocol that incorporates quality of service capabilities wherein at least one of the stations is capable of generating a (repetitive) beacon for assigning priority levels for each priority station on the network, wherein a station, before transmitting information on the network, attempts to detect the presence of a beacon for the network, and if the presence of a beacon is not detected, adopts the status of a beacon and transmits a beacon message to other stations in the network. In another aspect of the invention interference is reduced in communication in a medium using carrier modulation, for a communication network having a plurality of stations, using access control protocol wherein at least one of the stations is capable of generating a control message (SOD) that can be transmitted to other stations on the network to change the method of modulation being used, wherein communication between stations in the network is being performed using a first modulation method, by initiating a change in the modulation method being used by sending a control message containing identification of a second modulation method to other stations to inform them of the second modulation method; allowing the other stations to change the modulation method used to the second modulation method. The control message further includes a direction to thaw other stations not charging modulation to the second modulation method to instruct them not to transmit using the first modulation method.

Title: System, method and apparatus for wireless channel parameter estimation in spread spectrum communication systems
Inventor: MADKOUR MOHAMED F
IPC: H04W24/02
Filed: 2001-12-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for estimating  channel parameters in spread spectrum communication systems. A first method is accomplished by receiving a base station signal and then demodulating the ba se station signal. After demodulating the base station signal, a maximum signal  is selected from the base station signal. If the maximum signal is the commo n pilot channel, then the channel parameters are estimated directly from the common pilot channel. If the maximum signal is not the common pilot channel,  then the demodulated base station signal is iteratively fed back for further  demodulation and re-selection of the maximum signal until the maximum signal  is the common pilot channel. A second method is accomplished by incorporing channel estimates made from the interfering signals in a constructive manner  to the first method, as well as supressing the interference.

Abstract: A diagnostic kit for measuring a characteristic of a fluid sample includes a test strip (e.g., a disposable blood glucose test strip) and device (e.g., a hand-held meter) for measuring a property (e.g., an optical or electrochemical property) of the test strip. The device also calculates, based on the measured property of the test strip, a characteristic (e.g., blood glucose concentration or INR) of a fluid sample applied to the test strip. Stored in a memory of the device are test strip calibration codes that represent geometric regions (e.g., polygonal or hexagonal geometric regions) of a multi-dimensional calibration parameter space. The test strip calibration codes and geometric regions are distributed across the multi-dimensional calibration parameter space such that a quantization error of assigning one of test strip calibration codes to the test strip is optimally reduced. Also, a method for optimally associating test strip calibration codes to calibration parameters for use in such a diagnostic kit that includes first optimally distributing a plurality of test strip calibration codes and geometric regions represented thereby across a multi-dimensional calibration parameter space. The distribution is conducted such that a quantization error of assigning one of the test strip calibration codes to the test strip of the diagnostic kit is optimally reduced. The method also includes storing the distributed test strip calibration codes in a memory of the diagnostic kit.

Title: Phytopharmaceutical alloy compositions
Inventor: LIGON ROBERT CARLISLE
IPC: A01N25/14
Filed: 2002-03-09
Abstract: Compositions for preparation of wettable-powder and powder suspension herbicidal products containing low-melting agrochemical agents, such as bromoxynil esters, are provided. Preferred compositions are co-melts of bromoxynil esters with at least one additional herbicide or pesticide, particularly atrazine. The compositions of the invention have higher melting points than the bromoxynil ester component, and therefore have advantages in that the use of solvents and/or carriers in formulations can be avoided or minimized. The compositions can be processed into dry powders without the problems associated with the softening or melting of pure bromoxynil esters during grinding or milling, and without the need for dilution of the product with substantial amounts of inactive carriers. Compositions containing the alloys do not lose selectivity in the presence of oil adjuvants.

Title: Method of controlling reverse transmission in a mobile communication system
Inventor: BAE BEOM-SIK
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2002-03-25
Abstract: A reverse transmission controlling method in a mobile communication system, after receiving forward information, commanding the increase or decrease of the reverse data rate received on a forward control channel from a base station, a mobile station determines whether the previous rate increase available information transmitted to the base station on a reverse control channel before reception of the forward information indicates that a reverse data rate increase is available, if the forward information commands a reverse data rate increase. The mobile station increases the current reverse data rate to a data rate equal to or less than a maximum reverse data rate if the rate increase available information indicates that the reverse data rate increase is available, and transmits reverse data at the increased reverse data rate.

Title: Centrifugal separator with fluid injection openings formed in a separate strip insert
Inventor: ZONNEVELD EDWIN JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B04B1/00
Filed: 2003-10-15
Abstract: A centrifuge concentrator bowl includes a plurality of fluidized recesses at axially spaced positions along the peripheral wall. Each recess is defined by two side walls converging toward a base which has water injection holes for fluidizing materials collecting in the recess. The volume within which collection occurs is defined by a replaceable plastic strip member across the recess spaced from the base so that a water channel is formed inside the bowl between the base of the recess and the strip. Water from the channel is injected through holes in the strip in a generally tangential direction around the recess. The use of the replaceable strip allows the injection openings of the bowl to be tailored to requirements and/or to be cleaned of scale by rapidly removing and replacing the strips in the bowl.
