Inventor: OSAWA RYOICHI
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2004-04-27
Abstract: A technique for film marking includes coding a print identifier into a binary-coded bit-complement serial number; identifying particular frames (bit frames) that will be used to convey the bits (binary digits) of the binary-coded bit-complement serial number and marking these bit frames in accordance with the particular bit values of the binary-coded bit-complement serial number.

Title: A system and method for intercepting international calls and applying least cost routing for selected subscribers
Inventor: RANGARAJAN RAMASWAMI
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2005-04-20
Abstract: The invention helps reduce costs for international calls. When an international call is detected a database is queried (202). Dependent on the results of the database query, the call is either routed using intentional routing (204) or the call is routed using an internet protocol (IP) gateway (206) that completes the call. The subscriber/caller is identified by his/her calling number, e.g, mobile number. This number is used to verify whether the caller has access to special services, e.g, LCR when using a mobile telephone rather than a telephone within a corporate network. The verification of the callers number is performed by an Intelligent Network (IN SCP 616) using a database (618).

Title: Controlling direction of ultrasound imaging catheter
Inventor: ALTMANN ANDRES CLAUDIO
IPC: A61B5/374
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: The position of an imaging catheter in a body structure such as the heart is automatically controlled by a robotic manipulator such that its field of view at all times includes the distal end of a second catheter that is employed to effect a medical procedure. A processor receives signals from position sensors in the catheters. The processor utilizes the information received from the sensors and continually determines any deviation of the second catheter from the required field of view of the imaging catheter. The processor transmits compensation instructions to the robotic manipulator, which when executed assure that the imaging catheter tracks the second catheter.

Patent CA-2571261-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COHEN JEFFREY I
IPC: A61K39/265
Filed: 2005-06-22
Abstract: Viruses having weakened ability to establish and/or maintain latency and their use as live vaccines are described. The vaccines have one or more alterations in genes that provide continued virus replication but that inhibit latency.  The vaccine materials and methods for their construction are exemplified with the varicella zoster virus. Deletion of a significant portion from both copies of the varicella zoster gene ORF63 was shown to inhibit establishment of a latent infection from a live vaccine form of the virus. Insertion of an additional ORF62 gene which is partially truncated with the ORF63 deletion inhibited establishment of latency and allowed normal growth of the virus.  Other desirable viral antigen encoding sequence(s) and/or cytokine genes advantageously may replace deleted genetic material to enhance a desired immunological response. Aspects of the discovery pertain to live vaccines of other viruses, and can provide a variety of vaccines having greater safety.
