Patent CA-2264191-C (CA)
Inventor: SHONE CLIFFORD CHARLES
IPC: C12P21/04
Filed: 1997-08-22
Granted: 2012-01-17
Abstract: A polypeptide has first and second domains which enable the polypeptide to be translocated into a target cell or which increase the solubility of the polypeptide, or both, and further enable the polypeptide to cleave one or more vesicle or plasma-membrane associated proteins essential to exocytosis. The polypeptide thus combines useful properties of a clostridial toxin, such as a botulinum or tetanus toxin, without the toxicity associated with the natural molecule. The polypeptide can also contain a third domain that targets it to a specific cell, rendering the polypeptide useful in inhibition of exocytosis in target cells. Fusion proteins comprising the polypeptide, nucleic acids encoding the polypeptide and methods of making the polypeptide are also provided. Controlled activation of the polypeptide is possible and the polypeptide can be incorporated into vaccines and toxin assays.

Filed: 1998-04-02
Granted: 2002-06-18
Abstract: An improved method for gath-ering traces in a 3-D seismic sur-vey is disclosed. In one configu-ration, receiver lines having equally spaced geophone receivers stations are run in one direction, and lines of equally spaced shotpoint stations run orthogonal to the receiver station lines.   The station spacing in each shotpoint and receiver lines is selected to pro-duce a desired spatial resolution, and the individual lines are spaced apart by a distance equal to at least two times the station intervals. In this method, a series of common mid point gathers centered about source/receiver line intersection, referred to as "hybrid gathers" is made, where each hybrid gather includes traces from a desig-nated number of shots in the shotpoint line of the selected intersection that are directed into a designated number of geophone receivers in the receiver line of the selected intersection. Full survey data from the crossed-arrayed shotpoint/receiver geometry can be as-sembled from the series of hybrid gath-ers, however, an advantage of the hy-brid gather is that each hybrid gather can be individually processed and im-aged using techniques that depend upon adequate spatial sampling, such as velocity filtering, which techniques are normally reserved for full common midpoint summed gathers. Other shotpoint/receiver layout configurations used with hybrid gathers are also disclosed.

Title: System and method for generating year 2000 test cases
Inventor: CARMAN DAVID W
IPC: G06F11/28
Filed: 1998-07-21
Granted: 2004-04-13
Abstract: An innovative rule based method and system for creating test cases for the Year 2000 compliance testing of software systems is described. Using the method and system of the present invention, the user will first input information as rules relating to the business logic of the system. After obtaining the business logic, the system will transform input test cases into output test cases for the Year 2000 compliance testing. The term test cases, used in a broad sense here, refer to regression test cases written in any test automation languages, archive of test input/output data files, or snap shots of transactions captured using a recording tool. The system operates by first parsing the input files and based upon the business logic, it identifies date, time, or durati on dependent variables or constants ("date dependent fields" collectively) in the input test cases. The system then substitutes risky dates, time, or duration for these fields in a manner which preserves the business logic. Risky values here refer to values that are important for the Year 2000 compliance testing - a set of values which may be user-defined. The system provides several modes of generation of output test cases depending upon the users' needs. The system can be retrofitted to deal with generation of test cases for any one timechange to a software system. For example, when seven digits telephone numbers are replaced by ten digit numbers or various currencies are replaced by a single currency unit and so forth.

Title: Lancing device having a releasable connector
Inventor: RUF CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: A61B5/151
Filed: 2000-02-21
Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: A lancing device has a spring-loaded lancet holder slidably mounted within a housing for carrying a disposable lancet and needle. A slider mounted in a slot in the housing is moved back for cocking the device and, after the lancet is fired, is moved forward to eject the used lancet. A releasable connector reversibly immobilizes the holder while the lancet is being ejected. The releasable connector permits a shortened ejection stroke, which, in turn, permits a shorter slot in the housing.

Title: Plant sterol-emulsifier complexes
Inventor: AKASHE AHMAN
IPC: A23L33/20
Filed: 2000-06-01
Granted: 2010-05-25
Abstract: Plant sterols have been shown to be cholesterol-reducing agents in human serum. In the present invention, plant sterols, plant stanols, plant sterol esters and other non-toxic sterols are co-crystallized with emulsifiers to form a plant sterol/emulsifier complex or plant stanol/emulsifier complex which can be incorporated into full-fat, reduced-fat, low-fat, fat-free and triglyceride- free food products. Plant sterols and plant stanols can be co-crystallized with emulsifiers to produce a blend which has a melting temperature significantly lower than the melting temperature of the plant sterol or plant stanol. Such complexes can be used to incorporate relatively high levels of such sterols/stanols in food products without the adverse organoleptic effect normally associated with the use of such plant sterols and plant stanols.
