Title: Enhancement of aimpoint in simulated training systems
Inventor: PAGE DAVID WAYNE
IPC: F41G3/26
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention, therefore, provide improved systems and methods for tracking targets in a simulation environment. Merely by way of example, an exemplary embodiment provides a reflected laser target tracking system that tracks a target with a video camera and associated computational logic. In certain embodiments, a closed loop algorithm may be used to predict future positions of targets based on formulas derived from prior tracking points.  Hence, the target's next position may be predicted. In some cases, targets may be filtered and/or sorted based on predicted positions. In certain embodiments, equations (including without limitation, first order equations and second order equations) may be derived from one or more video frames. Such equations may also be applied to one or more successive frames of video received and/or produced by the system. In certain embodiments, these formulas also may be used to compute predicted positions for targets; this prediction may, in some cases, compensate for inherent delays in the processing pipeline.
Patent CA-2575353-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SILVERMAN HEATHER G
IPC: C12P21/06
Filed: 2005-08-09
Abstract: The present invention includes a Mytilus edulis cDNA having a nucleotide sequence that encodes for the Mytilus edulis foot protein-2 (Mefo-2), an example of mollusk foot protein. Mefp-2 is an integral component of the blue mussels' adhesive protein complex, which allows the mussel to attach to objects underwater. The isolation, purification and sequencing of the Mefp-2 gene will allow researchers to produce Mefp-2 protein using genetic engineering techniques. The discovery of Mefp-2 gene sequences will also allow scientists to better understand how the blue mussel creates its waterproof adhesive protein complex.

Title: Integrated anisotropic rock physics model
Inventor: XU SHIYU
IPC: G06G7/48
Filed: 2005-10-27
Abstract: Method for constructing an integrated rock physics model that simulates both shale anisotropy and stress-induced a.pi.isotropy of clastic rocks. In the model, the total pore volume is divided into three parts according to estimated shale volume and effective stress: clay-related pores (21), sand-related pores (23), and microcracks ) mainly in the sand component.) The pore space is then partitioned into clay-related and sand-related pores using a scheme first discovered by Xu and White in 1995 (24). The model simulates shale anisotropy via a preferred orientation of microcracks, which is controlled by differential stresses (25). Laboratory measurements or well logs are needed to establish a relationship between crack density and the effective stress.

Filed: 2007-04-26
Abstract: Phospholipo-proteins which have been enzyme modified may be used as an emulsifier to improve the emulsion stability of frozen products, e.g., during the freeze thaw and vacuum cool processes. Especially preferred is use of the enzyme phospholipase A to modify egg yolk and to use the modified egg yolk as an emulsifier in frozen products. Creation of a more stable emulsion can be expected to improve the overall appearance of the final product both in the frozen state and after the product has been reheated. Although egg yolk is preferred, examples of other phospholipo-protein containing substances include casein, skim milk, buttermilk, whey, cream, soybean, yeast, whole egg, blood serum and wheat proteins. Egg yolk and/or other sources of phopholipo-protein can be subjected to the action of phospholipase A or other enzyme, and then the modified product incorporated into the products of the invention. Alternatively, it is possible to isolate the phospholipo protein from its source and subject the isolated protein to the action of phospholipase A, after which the modified phopholipo-protein is incorporated into the frozen food products of the invention.
