Title: Improved power supply system for a packet-switched radio transmitter
Inventor: NICKERSON KENT
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1998-09-14
Abstract: An improved power supply system involves load-leveling the large transient currents drawn by a high power, low duty-cycle load application circuit by means of a high performance capacitive charge storage device, such as a super-capacitor or a network of super-capacitors.  The improved power supply system allows the high power load application circuit to be driven by a limited energy power source, such as a battery or the power supplied to a PCMCIA slot by a host computer. When the input voltage source is a battery, the improved power supply system allows for a substantial increase in the battery's operational life. The inventive system is particularly useful for managing power supply requirements for miniaturized wireless transmission systems, such as two-way pagers or radio modems, which employ low duty-cycle packet-switched RF transmitters.

Patent CA-2258314-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEAUREGARD REJEAN
IPC: B60J1/00
Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: A window construction for vehicles such as motor coaches is disclosed which includes a window panel that overlaps on the exterior of the vehicle body at least one of the edge portions defining the window opening. In particular, the window includes a window panel which is mounted to the vehicle body and on the exterior thereof at least partly covers the edges of the vehicle body which define the window opening, especially the window jams. Mounting the window panel flush with an exterior surface of the vehicle body facilitates insulation and sealing of the window and allows placement of draft seals between the exterior surface of the vehicle body and the panel so that they do not protrude into the window opening. The hardware used to fasten the window panel to the vehicle body is affixed to the panel in a marginal portion which extends beyond the window opening so that the hardware does not protrude substantially into the window opening and into the field of view. The window panel includes a central portion for substantially covering the window opening and a marginal portion integral with and extending outwardly from the central portion for covering at least one of the edge portions defining the window opening, preferably at least one of the window jams. When the vehicle includes two or more adjacent windows separated by a post, generally the respective window jams, the marginal portions of the window panels for the adjacent openings cooperatively cover an outside surface of the post. With this construction, the panels provide a smooth substantially continuous outer surface uninterrupted by window jams or posts. This not only provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance from the outside of the vehicle, but also facilitates cleaning of the vehicle and reduces wind noise.

Title: Definition d'epitopes de la proteine copb de membrane externe de moraxella catarrhalis
Inventor: HANSEN ERIC J
IPC: C12N15/31
Filed: 1997-08-12
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une analyse de la protéine CopB de membrane externe de M. Catarrhalis. Quatre antigènes de CopB ont maintenant été séquencés et leurs séquences d'acides aminés prévues, comparées. Dans cet antigène, des régions de conservation et de non-conservation ont été identifiées, y compris une région non conservée représentant une région de liaison provenant de la souche 035E. Un seul changement d'acide aminé (N pour D) dans cet épitope, sur le résidu 295, abolit la réactivité de l'anticorps 10F3 vis-à-vis de CopB. Des peptides ne contenant que des résidus de cette région possédant une extrémité carboxylique pour le résidu 295 retiennent bien la réactivité mais leur réactivité est inférieure à la réactivité maximale obtenue en présence d'une asparagine en position 295. L'invention porte également sur des compositions ainsi que sur des méthodes tant diagnostiques qu'immunoprophylactiques.
