Patent CA-2308821-A1 (CA)
Title: Playing audio of one kind in response to user action while playing audio of another kind
Inventor: LOEWENTHAL WILLIAM J
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2000-05-18
Abstract: Two kinds of audio information are played by a specialized receiver to a user: audio samples that are played automatically, and audio programs that are cached, and played only in response to a predetermined action (e.g. pressing of a button in the receiver) during the playing of a related audio sample. Specifically, the predetermined action selects an audio program for storage in local memory, and the program is made accessible to the user either immediately after the predetermined action, or a short while thereafter. Immediate access is possible if one or more audio programs have been received and stored (in an inaccessible manner) prior to the user's predetermined action. Immediate access is not possible in other situations:  for example, for audio programs that relate to live audio samples, such as a traffic report (wherein the related audio program contains additional details about accidents and alternate routes) or financial news (wherein the related audio program contains the most current stock quotes) that are being played to the user while still fresh. Once a user-selected audio program has been made accessible, the user can perform another predetermined action (e.g. pressing a different button) at any time, in order to retrieve and play the stored audio program from the local memory. Alternatively, the user can transfer the stored audio program to another device (e.g. over a cable, wirelessly, or through a peripheral to a memory card).

Title: Immortalized, homozygous stat1-deficient mammalian cell lines and their uses
Inventor: PALESE PETER
IPC: C12N7/00
Filed: 1998-11-02
Abstract: The present invention is directed to immortalized STAT1-deficient mammalian cell lines. STAT1 is a signal transducer and activator of transcription that becomes phosphorylated when cells are treated with type I or type II interferons and leads to induction of specific gene expression, resulting in establishment of the antiviral state and the other known biological responses to interferons, including the inhibition of cell proliferation. Cells which lack this gene product are useful for producing high titers of viral stocks, for producing recombinant viral vectors, for testing samples, especially clinical samples for the presence of virus and for screening candidate compounds or drugs for anti-viral activity.

Abstract: Pivot Whipping Game, in plurality comprises of organized players and a set of apparatus. The game revolves around players wounding strands round the Pivot wedge, laying it on the floor, and then whirl it with a forward motion that sends it rotating or spinning. The player then follows with more whipping of the said making sure it never lands of its flattop or body. The Pivot wedge is made of resilient material, and wood too.  The same for the Pivot Whipping stick, which has a hold on one end where strands of resilient material, cotton, jute or sisal are passed through then secured to make a whip. No permanent goaltender. Only two players are allowed within 10-15 ft from the goal poles to score or defend. more. To make a successful score, the said has to pass through the poles when still spinning on its thin pin headed end. This game will be demanding a lot of concentration, discipline, and competitiveness from the players, yet providing a lot of enjoyment to players

Inventor: POTTER MICHAEL
IPC: H01J1/304
Filed: 1998-12-11
Abstract: A self-gettering electron field emitter (30) has a first portion (40) formed of a low-work-function material for emitting electrons, and it has an integral second portion (50) that acts both as a low-resistance electrical conductor and as a gettering surface. The self-geterring emitter (30) is formed by disposing a thin film of the low-work-function material parallel to a substrate and by disposing a thin film of the low-resistance geterring material parallel to the substrate and in contact with the thin film of the low-work-function material. The self-geterring emitter (30) is particularly suitable for use in lateral field emission devices (10). The preferred emitter structure has a tapered edge (60), with a salient portion (45) of the low-work-function material extending a small distance beyond an edge (55) of the gettering and low resistance material. A fabrication process (S1-S6) is specially adapted for in situ formation of the self-gettering electron field emitters while fabricating microelectronic field emission devices.

Title: Polysaccharide conjugate capable of binding cellulose
Inventor: DAVIS PAUL JAMES
IPC: C08B37/00
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: A polysaccharide conjugate comprises a polysaccharide with an attached entity having a molecular weight of at least 5000, the polysaccharide conjugate being capable of binding to cellulose. Preferred polysaccharides include tamarind seed xyloglucan, locust bean gum and enzyme modified guar. The attached entity is suitably a protein such as an enzyme, antibody or antibody fragment, or a particle possibly having a benefit agent such as a fragrance associated therewith.  Because the polysaccharide conjugate binds to cellulose, which is present in cotton and other fabrics, paper, etc., binding of the conjugate to cellulose brings the attached entity into close proximity to a surface of or containing cellulose. The invention thus enables targeting of attached entities to such surfaces. The invention also provides a product incorporating the polysaccharide conjugate of the invention. The product is conveniently a laundry product such as a fabric washing product, e.g., a detergent product, or a fabric conditioning product. In this case the attached entity may be an enzyme, a particle bearing fragrance, etc. The invention also provides a method of targeting binding of an entity to cellulose by use of the polysaccharide conjugate of the invention.
