Patent CA-2410958-A1 (CA)
Title: Systeme d'acces multiple pour reseau de transmission
Inventor: UNITT BRIAN
IPC: H04B10/272
Filed: 2001-05-25
Abstract: L'invention concerne un réseau de transmission (p. ex. réseau de fibre jusqu'au foyer (FTTH) ou sans fil) comprenant une tête de ligne à laquelle des stations d'extrémité sont reliées par le biais d'un support point à multipoint partagé. Cette tête de ligne est agencée pour la transmission descendante auxdites stations d'extrémité d'une séquence de trames, comprenant des trames de données et des trames de commande. Les trames de commande convertissent les paramètres de commande de transmissions ascendantes provenant de stations d'extrémité. Une première trame de commande descendante dirigée vers une station d'extrémité spécifique indique le début d'un intervalle de temps ainsi que la durée de cet intervalle de temps (y compris une durée indéfinie). Lorsque cette durée est indéfinie, une seconde trame de commande dirigée vers au moins la même station d'extrémité indique la fin de l'intervalle de temps affecté. Ladite invention concerne également d'autres procédés permettant d'optimiser l'affectation d'intervalles de temps et de supporter l'ajout ainsi que le retrait de stations d'extrémité sur le réseau.

Title: Vehicle wash apparatus with an adjustable boom
Inventor: GAUTHIER DAVID M
IPC: B60S3/00
Filed: 2003-02-26
Abstract: An automatic vehicle washing system is described. The vehicle washing system incorporates an elongated overhead cleaning platform for cleaning the front, top and rear surfaces of a vehicle. The overhead cleaning platform is attached to a single lift mechanism at a first end and is suspended from a belt at a second end, wherein the belt is also operatively connected to the first end. Accordingly, vertical movement of the lift actuator causes both ends of the platform to uniformly rise or descend. The platform further comprises a pivotal boom with fluid nozzles attached thereto, and a reciprocating pivotal actuator. The reciprocating pivotal actuator is capable of pivotal movement to any number of angular orientations within its operative range of motion. Advantageously, the pivotal and vertical positions of the nozzles can be independently varied, permitting the location of the overhead cleaning nozzles to be optimized for various vehicle profiles.

Title: Method of operating a computer system to perform a discrete substructural analysis
Inventor: CHURCH DENNIS
IPC: G16B15/30
Filed: 2001-10-16
Abstract: The invention provides a method of operating a computer system, and a corresponding computer system, for performing a discrete substructural analysis. First, a database of molecular structures is accessed. The database is searchable by molecular structure information and biological and/or chemical properties. In said database, a set of molecules is identified that have a given biological and/or chemical property. Fragments of the molecules in said subset are then determined, and a score value is calculated for each fragment, indicating the contribution of the respective fragment to said given biological and/or chemical property. Finally, a reiteration process is performed by analyzing the determined fragments and calculated scores values, whereby first at least one fragment is selected that has a score value indicating high contribution to said biological and/or chemical property, and then the steps of accessing, identifying, determining and calculating are repeated. Fragments may be any structural subunit of the molecules. The biological and/or chemical properties include biochemical, pharmacological, toxicological, pesticidal, herbicidal and catalytic properties. The invention is preferably used for DNA backsequencing or drug discovery. Preferred embodiments include an reiteration process that increases the fragment size in each iteration, the use of generiy substructures, and an annealing process that glues fragments together.

Abstract: Dominant negative alleles of human mismatch repair genes can be used to generate hypermutable cells and organisms. By introducing these genes into cells and transgenic animals, new cell lines animal varieties with novel and useful properties can be prepared more efficiently than by relying on the natural rate of mutation. These methods are useful for generating genetic diversity within genes encoding for therapeutic antigens to produce altered polypeptides with enhanced antigenic and immunogenic activity. Moreover, these methods are useful for generating effective vaccines.

Title: Container for holding a cryogenic fluid
Inventor: HARPER GREGORY C
IPC: F17C1/00
Filed: 2003-09-23
Abstract: A double-walled vacuum insulated container for holding a cryogenic fluid comprises a support system for the inner vessel that is combined with at least one elongated metallic conduit that penetrates the walls of the outer vessel and the inner vessel. The conduit itself provides support in an axial direction parallel to a horizontal axis and at least two non-metallic members provide support in a radial direction from the horizontal axis. By requiring the conduit to support only axial loads, its wall thickness can be reduced, thereby reducing heat transfer through the conduit. The non-metallic members that provide support in the radial direction can be made from composite materials selected for structural strength as well as low thermal conductivity, resulting in a container with improved overall thermal insulation to reduce heat leak and allow longer holding times.
