Patent CA-2433521-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEITIA GOMEZ DE SEGURA FERNAND
IPC: F42D1/10
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: The manufacture is carried out in a continuous manner simultaneous to the filling of the shot holes, in a mixer, preferably a rotating mixer, wherein a water- based, non-explosive or low sensitivity matrix, an air bubble stabilizing agent, and optionally, an oxidant in granular form and a combustible material are mixed together. The nature of the water-based matrix, together with the use of an air bubble stabilizing agent, allows the incorporation of air during the mixing, regulating the density of the final product and acting on the variables of the process. On coming out of the mixer, the explosive is totally sensitized and has reached its final density, allowing for quality control before filling the shot hole. The process may be carried out on the explosives pumping truck, with compartments for the transportation of a water-based matrix, an oxidant in granular form, a combustible material and a gas bubble stabilizing agent.

Title: Modified human brain-derived neutrophic factor (bdnf) with reduced immunogenicity
Inventor: WILLIAMS STEPHEN
IPC: C07K14/475
Filed: 2002-02-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides to be administered especially to humans and in particular for therapeutic use. The polypeptides are modified polypeptides whereby the modification results in a reduced propensity for the polypeptide to elicit an immune response upon administration to the human subject. The invention in particular relates to the modification of human brain-derived neutrophic factor (BDNF) to result in BDNF proteins that are substantially non-immunogenic or less immunogenic than any non-modified counterpart when used in vivo.

Title: Processing device with intuitive learning capability
Inventor: ANSARI YUSUF
IPC: A63F13/10
Filed: 2002-08-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing learning capability to processing devic e, such as a computer game, educational toy, telephone, or television remote control, is provided to achieve one or more objective. For example, if the processing device is a computer game, the objective may be to match the skil l level of the game with that of a player. If the processing device is an educational toy, the objective may be to increase the educational level of a user. If the processing device is a telephone, the objective may be to anticipate the phone numbers that a phone user will call. If the processing device is a television remote control, the objective may be to anticipate th e television channels that will watched by the user. One of a plurality of actions (e.g., game actions, educational prompts, listed phone numbers, or listed television channels) to be performed on the processing device is selected. A user input indicative of a user action (e.g., a player action, educational input, called phone number, or watched television channel) is received. An outcome of the selected action and/or user action is determined . For example, in the case of a computer game, the outcome may indicate whethe r a computer-manipulated object has intersected a user-manipulated object. In the case of an educational toy, the outcome may indicate whether a user acti on matches a prompt generated by the educational toy. In the case of a telephon e, the outcome may indicate whether a called phone number is on a list of phone numbers. In the case of a television remote control, the outcome may indicat e whether a watched television channel is on a list of television channels. An action probability distribution that includes probability values correspondi ng to the plurality of actions is then updated based on the determined outcome. The next action will then be selected based on this updated action probabili ty distribution. The foregoing steps can be modified based on a performance ind ex to achieve the objective of the processing device so that it learns (100, 10 5, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130).
