Patent CA-2777720-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIN TONGXIANG
IPC: C12N5/00
Filed: 2010-10-15
Abstract: The slow kinetics and low efficiency of reprogramming methods to generate human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) impose major limitations on their utility in biomedical applications. Here we describe a chemical approach that dramatically improves (>200 fold) the efficiency of iPSC generation from human fibroblasts, within seven days of treatment. This will provide a basis for developing safer, more efficient, non-viral methods for reprogramming human somatic cells.

Title: Providing television broadcasts over a managed network and interactive content over an unmanaged network to a client device
Inventor: DAHLBY JOSHUA
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2010-12-30
Abstract: A client device receives a broadcast content signal containing an interactive identifier over a managed network. The interactive identifier may be a trigger that is included in a header or embedded within the digital video data. In response to identification of the trigger, the client device sends a user request for interactive content over an unmanaged network. For example, the managed network may be a one-way satellite television network, IP-television network or cable television network and the unmanaged network may be the Internet. The client device switches between receiving data from the managed network to receiving data from the unmanaged network. Video encoding parameters of the interactive content are varied based on detected variations in the audio transmission bandwidth.

Title: Risk management system and method for monitoring and controlling of messages in a trading system
Inventor: PLUT STEPHEN
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2010-12-08
Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for risk management in electronic trading where user messages are collected by at least one inspection engine which monitors one or more parameters of the user messages. The decision to manipulate the user messages is based on whether one or more of the parameters or a risk factor exceeds a predetermined range limit. The user messages are then transmitted to a trading engine where the user messages with manipulated parameters are rejected and the user messages with unchanged parameters are processed normally. By eliminating the need to maintain state with the message protocol of the user messages, the transport speed of such user messages is improved.
