Patent CA-2554845-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DENOMME GREGORY A
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-02-07
Abstract: RBC and platelet (Plt) alloimmunization requires antigen-matched blood to avoid adverse transfusion reactions. Some blood collection facilities use unregulated Abs to reduce the cost of mass screening, and later confirm the phenotype with government approved reagents. Alternatively, RBC and Plt antigens can be screened by virtue of their associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We developed a multiplex PCR-oligonucleotide extension assay using the GenomeLab SNPStream platform to genotype blood for a plurality of blood group antigen-associated SNPs, including but not limited to: RhD (2), RhC/c, RhE/e, S/s, K/k, Kpa/b, Fya/b, FY0, Jka/b, Dia/b, and HPA-1a/b.

Title: Vaso-occlusive coils with non-overlapping sections
Inventor: TEOH CLIFFORD
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A vaso-occlusive implant has a primary helical-coil shape that defines a primary axis and a three-dimensional secondary shape. The secondary shape includes a substantially helical section and a second section having a plurality of non-overlapping loops or loop sections. Each loop defines a plane that is oriented at an angle from about 30-150 degrees relative to a plane defined by an immediately preceding or immediately succeeding loop along the primary axis. The coil sections or loops can be generally circular loops or other smooth shapes.

Title: Trust inheritance in network authentication
Inventor: CAMPBELL JOHN ROBERTSON
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: A system and method for providing ad hoc controlled user access to wireless and wireline IP communication networks while maintaining privacy for users and traceability for network providers. The method includes an authentication interface accepting user credentials, and a validation entity for credential verification and access authorization. The credentials include a unique identifier and a system generated password. The unique identifier is associated with a personal entity-of the user such as a cellular telephone.  The password is transmitted to the user through a SMS message to his cellular telephone. The user's Internet session is monitored by the system and all records are indexed by his cellular telephone number. The system and method therefore permit fast and traceable access for guest users at networks where they are were not previously known. Alternatively, users do not provide their unique identifiers such as cellular telephone numbers which are instead already stored in the system. A user provides a username and a one time password is generated by the system and sent to the user by SMS. This enables the system to validate the user's identity as well as the user to validate the Internet resources' identity.

Title: Graphical re-inspection user setup interface
Inventor: BOOHER JESSE
IPC: G06F11/30
Filed: 2005-05-20
Abstract: The invention provides for a graphical user interface which provides for very simple and intuitive ways of changing single or multiple inspection parameters. The graphical display immediately shows what the monitoring or inspection result would have been if the effected change had been in place during the inspection of the last "N" parts. This retrospective graphical "look-back" invokes immediate re-inspection facilitating an estimation of what the future inspection or process monitoring results will be if future production looks similar to the recent past production. The re~-inspection results are immediately shown with a combination of visualization for ease of understanding and settings optimization. The visualization also shows selected other associated data to each specific inspection for ease of tracking and optimizing production processes.

Title: Infrared fire detection sensor and method
Inventor: LUCK JONATHAN M
IPC: G08B25/10
Filed: 2005-07-22
Abstract: A system and method for detecting radiation indicative of fire, such as forest Fire. In one embodiment, a threshold energy level determined based on ambient sensor conditions. A sensor unit may be setup to scan a predetermined area for electromagnetic radiation (805). Any detected electromagnetic radiation may then be band pass filtered to a wavelength range centered about a predetermined frequency associated with the presence of fire (810). The resulting energy level signal may then be further filter to pass only those signals which exhibit a "flicker" frequency (815). If the resulting filtered signal exceeds the threshold signal (820), fire notification signal may then be generated (825).

Title: Variable ethanol octane enhancement of gasoline engines
Inventor: BROMBERG LESLIE
IPC: F02B75/12
Filed: 2005-11-14
Abstract: Fuel management system for efficient operation of a spark ignition gasoline engine. Injectors inject an anti-knock agent such as ethanol directly into a cylinder of the engine. A fuel management microprocessor system controls injection of the anti-knock agent so as to control knock and minimize that amount of the anti-knock agent that is used in a drive cycle. It is preferred that the anti-knock agent is ethanol. The use of ethanol can be further minimized by injection in a non-uniform manner within a cylinder. The ethanol injection suppresses knock so that higher compression ratio and/or engine downsizing from increased turbocharging or supercharging can be used to increase the efficiency of the engine.

Title: Portable composting toilet system
Inventor: VILLGREN PAUL J
IPC: A47K11/00
Filed: 2007-06-14
Abstract: A portable composting toilet system has a compartmentalized receptacle for receiving human waste, a gray-water circulation subsystem for circulating gray water formed by mixing water with waste through the compartmentalized receptacle to promote mixing of the waste to thereby accelerate digestion of the waste, and an air-circulation subsystem for emitting air bubbles into a sludge formed at a bottom of the compartmentalized receptacle to break up the sludge to thereby accelerate digestion of the waste.  The air circulation subsystem can include an air-driven pump that causes the gray water to circulate while allow feeding pressurized air to diffuser loops in each compartment to create sludge-breaking bubbles. This portable composting toilet system so efficiently decomposes waste that the maintenance costs of hauling residual sludge to the surface (when the toilet is used underground in a mine) is significantly lower than for conventional toilets, thus providing substantial cost savings to mine operators.
