Patent CA-2302802-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SZYJKOWSKI JERZY
IPC: A23B4/044
Filed: 2000-03-27
Abstract: An enclosed metal container, consisting one or more pieces of wood, wood chips or sawdust, which container incorporates one or more holes for releasing of the smoke generated by the wood, burning inside of the said container. The BBQ Smoker, referred to also as a container, should be placed inside of the Bar-B-Q or a grill, on either the heat distributor such as lava rocks, or on the grill. During the cooking process, the temperature of the Bar-B-Q causes the wood inside of the BBQ Smoker to burn. Since there are only small holes in the embodiment of a metal container, the wood is burning slowly generating only a smock, and no fire. The smock from burning of selected types of wood enhances the taste and the aroma of grilled meats and other foods prepared using BBQ      Smoker.

Title: Coarse frequency synchronisation in multicarrier systems
Inventor: EBERLEIN ERNST
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 1998-04-14
Abstract: For performing a coarse frequency synchronization compensat-ing for a carrier frequency deviation from an oscillator frequency in a demodulation system capable of demodulating a signal having a frame structure, the frame structure com-prising at least one useful symbol and a reference symbol which is a amplitude-modulated sequence, firstly the signal is received. Thereafter, the received signal is down-converted. Then, an amplitude-demodulation of the down-converted signal is performed in order to generate an enve-lope. This envelope is correlated with a predetermined ref-erence pattern in order to determine the carrier frequency deviation. Finally, the oscillator frequency is controlled based on the carrier frequency deviation. The reference sym-bol may comprise two identical sequences. In this case, the envelope obtained by the amplitude-demodulation has two por-tions which are based on the identical sequences. One of the portions of the envelope is correlated with the other one of the portions in order to determine the carrier frequence de-viation. The oscillator frequency is controlled based on the determined carrier frequency deviation.

Patent CA-2330212-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROBERTS WENDY
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is treated, not by administration of an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, but by the administration of CD20 itself, or an immunogenic fragment of the extracellular portion thereof, coupled to or administered with an antigenic carrier moiety such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). This results in the stimulation of the production of polyclonal antibodies against CD20 (or an immunogenic fragment thereof) which has the effect of reducing the number of B-cells, including malignant B-cells, and thus provides an active vaccine. The same approach can be used for therapeutics for other diseases and conditions in which target cells possess a transmembrane protein, and is particularly applicable to those diseases and conditions for which administration of antibodies to transmembrane proteins or peptides (i.e., passive therapy) have been shown to provide therapeutic benefits, and especially in the situations where the target is also capable of transducing or receiving a signal important for cell growth or function. This would include, for example, Her2/neu, VEGF receptor, epidermal growth factor receptor, the CD19 molecule, interleukin-2-receptor, interleukin-4-receptor, and the P-glycoprotein, also known as the multidrug-resistance protein.

Abstract: A ring binder includes a substantially rigid curved upper plate supporting a pair of hinged leaves. A plurality of ring members are secured to the hinged leaves for engaging corresponding holes in sheets of material retained by the ring binder. An actuating lever is located at each end of the curved upper plate for actuating the hinged leaves to open and close the ring members. Each actuating lever includes a tab with a cushion member thereon. The cushion member extends over and surrounds the tab. The cushion member includes an opening in a lower wall thereof which extends into a slot in an interior of the cushion member. The opening allows the tab to pass freely therethrough and slip into the slot to attach the cushion member to the tab. The cushion member is engaged by the fingers of a user to pivot the actuating lever in order to move the ring members between the open position and the closed position. The cushion member is a soft pad of resilient material such as rubber or soft plastic. The cushion member provides improved tactile characteristics to the actuating lever, making the actuating lever comfortable to use. The cushion member also minimizes the feedback of undesirable shock forces produced by the snap action of the rings when opening and closing the rings.
