Patent CA-2432757-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRUPE ANDREW
IPC: G16B20/20
Filed: 2001-12-14
Abstract: A method of associating a phenotype with one or more candidate chromosomal regions in a genome of an organism includes the step of deriving a phenotypic data structure that represents differences in phenotypes between different strains of the organism. Further, a genotypic data structure is established.  The genotypic data structure corresponds to a locus selected from a plurality of loci in the genome of the organism. The genotypic data structure represnts variations of at least one componenet of the locus between different strains of the organism. The phenotypic data structure is compared to the genotypic data structure to form a correlation value. The process of establishing a genotypic data structure and comparing it to the phenotypic data structure is repeated for each locus in the plurality of loci, thereby identifying one or more genotypic data structures that form a high correlation value relative to all other compared genotypic data structures. The loci that correspond to the one or more genotypic data structures having a high correlation value represent the one or more candidate chromosomal regions.

Patent CA-2437456-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for searching, finding and contacting dates on the internet in instant messaging networks and/or in other methods that enable immediate finding and creating immediate contact
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G06F16/248
Filed: 2003-08-08
Abstract: When searching for new people, the current instant messaging networks typically allow users to search mainly by name or by e-mail and some of them also by interests, although one of them (Odigo) allows to search also by sex , age, area, languages, occupation & interests. However, to the best of th e inventor's knowledge there is no way to systematically search in these networks for compatible dates by attributes such as for example education, general background, appearance, attitudes, and personality, or by reciprocal compatibility in any of the above mentioned attributes. This is a waste of a huge potential since some of these networks already have more than dozens of millions of people. Also, Odigo allows searching only among people currently connected, which means that highly compatible dates can be missed just because they don't happen to be connected at exactly the time of the search. The present invention is a novel concept which applies computer dating to the context of instant messaging, in a systematic and flexible way that to the best of the inventor's knowledge has never been done before. This system and method enable the user to search and find instantly compatible dates in instant messaging networks on the basis of attribute search or 1-way compatibility search or 2-way compatibility search instead of being limited to search only by the limited options described above, and to search either for potential date s that are currently Online or Offline, and also take advantage of many additional features, and especially features that are based on improved integration between computer dating and instant messaging.

Title: Device for reducing the presence of moisture within an enclosure containing a heat source
Inventor: DEWITT KERRY L
IPC: B01D71/36
Filed: 2002-03-26
Abstract: A venting device (50) that reduces the moisture of an enclosure containing a heat source and prevents the entrance of water or other liquids and contamination from entering the enclosure. The moisture reducing device (50) comprises a drying agent or desiccant (42) which is adjacent to said heat source (such as an automotive headlamp bulb or thermally cycling device), an air-impermeable, water-vapor permeable layer (40), a vent (52) that allows bulk flow of air during thermal cycling of the heat source and a internal diffusion tube or channel (65) that limits the entrance of moisture vapor from the external atmosphere to the drying agent or desiccant (42). The air-impermeable, water-vapor permeable layer (40) allows for continuous diffusion of water vapor, reducing the moisture in the enclosure when the heat source is de-energized. The location of the device to the heat source regenerates the drying agent in the device when the heat source is energized. The device may be in a variety of shapes for ease of placing the device adjacent to the heat source.

The extendable conveyor includes one or more extendable units, a stationary support for supporting the extendable units, and a conveying surface defined on an extended portion of the extendable units. The stationary support supports the extendable units between a fully extended position, wherein the extendable units extend from the support in the direction of the vehicle to be loaded and a fully retracted position in which the extendable units extend from the support in a direction opposite from the direction of the vehicle to be loaded. The conveying surface may be a gravity roller conveyor or it may be an endless belt. When the conveying surface is an endless belt, an elevating unit may be provided with the stationary support in order to elevate the conveying member above the extendable unit at the stationary support to match up with a discharge or receiving conveyor. A cable routing system to the extendable units includes an electrical cable running between the stationary support and an extendable unit aver a sheave mounted to another extendable unit with the extendable units extended at a rate that maintains tension on the cable for all extendable positions of the extendable units.
