Patent CA-2429111-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 2003-05-21
Abstract: Polypropylene is one of the most commonly used plastics in furniture and various structures (such as for example plastic warehouses) due to its cheap price, friendliness to the environment (in terms of degrading in a reasonable time when thrown away as waste), and good strength per weight factor. However, one of its biggest disadvantages is that like Teflon it is very inert, and therefore it is very hard to paint it after production or to connect other materials to it for example through chemical means, ultrasound, or with heat. Although it is possible to add various patterns or textures, such as for example wood-like patterns to the cast, and although is possible to add for example more colors without mixing them or with only partial mixing in order to get more than one color, such a mixing cannot be precisely controlled and cannot be made to fit with the texture, whereas for example wood texture would require proper color changes in correlation with the texture. The present invention solves the above problems preferably by manufacturing the Polypropylene (for example by appropriate casting or extrusion) with a texture that can easily connect mechanically to other materials preferably by small protrusions such as for example T shaped protrusions and/or other protrusions that preferably become wider at their ends and/or various grooves that preferably become wider in their deeper parts. This is preferably done in combination with various corrugated structures. The same or similar methods can be used also for example for connecting various materials to structures made out of Teflon or of other chemically inert materials which are hard to connect to.

Abstract: A system prevents the creation of duplicate records and identifies, groups, and consolidates duplicate records and manages the associated workload. A  method consolidates multiple records that are associated with a single entity and are stored in at least one record repository. The method involves identifying first and second records and applying record matching criteria to compare data element content of the first and second identified records to determine commonality data. The commonality data is indicative of a likelihood the first and second records are associated with a common entity. The first and second record content is merged into a composite record in response to the determined commonality data. One of the first and second records are selected as a surviving record based on earliest date of record creation or relative content of the first and second records

Title: Polypeptides de retrovirus endogenes lies a la transformation oncogenique
Inventor: HARDY STEPHEN F
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-12-09
Abstract: Les rétrovirus endogènes humains HERV-K présentent une expression accrue dans les tumeurs. Plus particulièrement, les événements d'épissage dans la zone env génèrent une série de produits de transcription qui utilisent le cadre de lecture +2 par rapport au cadre de lecture env. Ces protéines déploient une activité typique des régulateurs de transcription et elles possèdent également un potentiel oncogénique. Deux protéines apparentées, PCAP2 et PCAP3, sont fortement associées au cancer du sein et au cancer de la prostate, respectivement. La protéine PCAP4 stimule la division cellulaire. Ces protéines peuvent être utilisées dans le diagnostic et le traitement du cancer et constituent également des cibles de médicaments, par exemple pour un traitement adjuvant. L'identification de ces produits d'épissage est remarquable, dès lors que les informations de séquences entières sont disponibles pour les virus HERV-K depuis 1986.
