Patent CA-2470063-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YAMASAKI YOSHIKI
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 2002-12-12
Abstract: It is found out that when a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor binds to a novel mucin-like protein, the expression of the function of the HGF/HGF receptor is regulated and thus the HGF-dependent cell proliferation and tiss ue and vessel regeneration/neogenesis are inhibited. It is further found out th at various diseases including liver diseases can be treated by inhibiting the binding of the HGF receptor to the mucin-like protein.

Title: Improvement to a method for controlling an autonomous mobile robot et related device
Inventor: COLENS ANDRE
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: The invention concerns a navigation device for a mobile robot comprising means for measuring the amplitude and the phase of an electromagnetic signal emitted by a wire acting as limit for a working area of the robot. The measuring means samples the amplitude of the signal during each time interval, the result of each measurement is stored in a memory and the measurements are repeated for several time intervals, the collected results being added in said memories until the content of a memory reaches a reference threshold. The number of samples required and the content of each memory is interpreted by numerical analysis to determine the distance or distance variation relative to said limiting elements. Any phase change corresponding to a passage beyond the limiting wire is easily detected and results for example in a command returning the robot to its working area.

Title: Method for in situ repair of timber piles using synthetic reinforcing fabric
Inventor: SIMEK STEFAN
IPC: B27K5/00
Filed: 2005-03-23
Abstract: In a method for in situ repair of a surficially decayed or damaged timber pile, unsound material is removed from the section to be repaired. A grout form is placed around the repair section of the pile, and a fluid grout is introduced into the form so as to fill the space inside. After the grout has solidified, the form is removed, and at least one layer of a non-biodegradable synthetic reinforcing fabric is bonded to the surface of the grout in the repair area using a suitable adhesive resin. The reinforcing fabric has a least one layer of primary fibers that are adapted to withstand tensile stress. The primary fibers of the reinforcing fabric layers are selectively oriented, either perpendicular, parallel, or obliquely relative to the axis of the pile, as appropriate to achieve desired structural reinforcing effects. In an alternative embodiment, the damaged section of the pile may be cut out and replaced with a timber infill section, which is anchored to the stub of the cut-off pile using double-hooked tension bars placed in corresponding grooves and holes formed in the infill section and the pile stub. At least one layer of reinforcing fabric is then wrapped around and bonded to the infill section and the pile stub so as to envelope the region having tension bars, using a suitable adhesive resin.
