Patent CA-2625811-A1 (CA)
Title: Microrna mediated oncolytic targeting
Inventor: EDGE ROBERT
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 2008-03-14
Abstract: The invention provides methods for preferentially killing target cells in a host by infecting the cells with one or more strains of a lytic virus that has been engineered to be susceptible to microRNA mediated translational repression. Methods of the invention thereby exploit differential microRNA expression in target and non-target cells of the host. For example, altered expression of microRNAs in cancer cells can be exploited to alter expression of a viral gene in cancer cells, compared to non0cancerous cells, to achieve tumour specific replication of an engineered virus, such as a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). In a selected embodiment, incorporation of let-7a microRNA complementary sequences within the VSV genome attenuates viral replication and associated toxicity in normal cells, but permits growth in cancer cells.

IPC: C09K5/00
Filed: 2007-01-03
Abstract: Disclosed are processes for the production of fluorinated olefins, preferably adapted to commercialization of CF3CF=CH2 (1234yf). Three steps may be used in preferred embodiments in which a feedstock such as CCI2=CCICH2CI (which may be purchased or synthesized from 1,2,3- trichloropropane) is fluorinated (preferably with HF in gas-phase in the presence of a catalyst) to synthesize a compound such as CFaCCl=CH2, preferably in a 80-96% selectivity. The CF3CCl=CH2 is preferably converted to CF3CFClCH3 (244-isomer) using a SbCl5 as the catalyst which is then transformed selectively to 1234yf, preferably in a gas-phase catalytic reaction using activated carbon as the catalyst. For the first step, a mixture Of Cr2O3 and FeCl3/C is preferably used as the catalyst to achieve high selectivity to CF3CCl=CH2 (96%). In the second step, SbCl5/C  is preferably used as the selective catalyst for transforming 1233xf to 244-isomer, CF3CFClCH3. The intermediates are preferably isolated and purified by distillation and used in the next step without further purification, preferably to a purity level of greater than about 95%.

Patent CA-2653289-A1 (CA)
Title: Communication system
Inventor: OSHIMA MITSUAKI
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 1994-03-25
Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram expressed at least in the polar coordinate system. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data streams respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability. Furthermore, a communication system based on an OFDM system is utilized for data transmission of a plurality of subchannels, wherein the subchannels are differentiated by changing the length of a guard time slot or a carrier wave interval of a symbol transmission time slot, or changing the transmission electric power of the carrier.
