Patent CA-2359559-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALDRON STEPHEN H
IPC: A61K33/08
Filed: 2000-11-09
Abstract: This invention provides a treatment tool and tissue collection system, for removal of outer layers of skin to provide a revitalized, fresh skin surface, and a method of using same, comprising an abrasive tipped tool mounted on the end or within the end of a hollow tube, said tube being connected to a source of vacuum. The vacuum aids in maintaining intimate contact between the abrasive tip and the skin during the treatment process and transports the removed tissue to a collection container. The abrasive surface within the tube is a motor driven abrasive pad. Contact between the pad and the abrasive disk is brought about or increased by application of a vacuum through the tube to the skin surface.

Title: Trust negotiation in a client/server data processing network using automatic incremenmtal credential disclosure
Inventor: WINSBOROUGH WILLIAM HALE
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2000-02-24
Abstract: In client/server computing, especially in the field of e-commerce, digitally signed credentials are passed between client and server to develop trust between the parties. However, this requires that one party discloses its credentials (which could be considered sensitive) to the other party before the disclosing party knows anything about the receiving party (someone has to go first). To solve this problem, the invention implements a negotiation of credential disclosure called automatic incremental credential disclosure. Each credential held at a local site is associated with an access policy which is based on opposing site credentials. Incoming requests for credentials are logically combined with the access policies to derive further negotiation responses.

Title: Novel bovine vdj cassette, bf1h1, suitable for antigenization
Inventor: KAUSHIK AZAD
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to a bovine VDJ cassette (BF1H1) that provides the novel ability to develop chimeric immunoglobulin molecule capable of incorporating both linear T cell epitope(s) (CDR1H and CDR2H) as well as conformational B cell epitope(s) (exceptionally long CDR3H). Further, multiple epitopes can be incorporated for development of multivalent vaccine by replacing at least a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule with the desired epitope such that functional ability of both epitope(s) and parent VDJ rearrangement is retained. The antigenized immunoglobulin incorporating both T and B epitopes of interest is especially useful for development of oral vaccines for use in humans apart from other species including cattle. The long CDR3H in BF1H1 VDJ rearrangement originates from long germline D-genes. The novel bovine germline D-genes provide additional opportunities for sustaining the capacity for antibody diversification in cattle essential for immunocompetence via selective breeding strategies that incorporate immunoglobulin gene markers. The novel gene elements, such as D-genes, are unique to cattle and, therefore, are useful in forensic analysis.
