Patent CA-2670591-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLEMAN DONNIE S
IPC: H01R39/08
Filed: 2008-05-02
Abstract: A high-frequency drum-style slip-ring module (100) is used in a contact-type communication system. The module utilizes PCB construction to construct a plurality of stacked electrically-conductive rings (102) and a plurality of dielectric layers (104) electrically isolating the conductive rings. Each of the dielectric layers includes a centrally-located aperture (107). The module also includes a cylindrical ground plane (108) positioned in the centrally-located aperture. The module is configured to provide electrical connection to each of the rings at an exterior surface of the module. Each group of feed line vias can be designed as impedance-controlled transmission lines with connections to each ring group. The construction described in this invention can create slip-ring transmission line structures with bandwidth from DC to 5 GHz or higher, allowing the slip-ring to be used to transfer multi-gigabit digital data streams.

Title: Oxidized avidin with high residency time in the treated tissues
Inventor: DE SANTIS RITA
IPC: A61K47/42
Filed: 2008-07-16
Abstract: The present invention describes chemically modified avidins that have higher permanence in treated tissues compared to wild type avidin. Avidin oxidation is performed by periodate incubation in the presence of the low affinity ligand HABA which, occupying the biotin binding sites, prevents protein denaturation during the oxidation step. Periodate oxidation generates CHO groups from avidin mannose ring opening that, once injected, react with tissue NH2 residues to form stable Schiff's bases. The anchored avidins maintain the ability to bind biotinylated agents endowed of therapeutic activity, like radiolabeled biotins, stem cells and somatic cells, useful for brachytherapies like Intraoperative Avidination Radionuclide Therapy (IART®) or degenerative or genetic diseases.

Abstract: In visual display devices such as LCD devices with backlight illumination (fig. 6 element 5), the backlight typically consumes most of device battery power. In the interest of displaying a given pixel pattern at a minimized backlight level, the pattern can be transformed while maintaining image quality, with a transform determined from pixel luminance statistics (fig. 6 element 4).  Aside from, or in addition to being used for such minimizing, a transform also can be used for image enhancement, for a displayed image better to meet a visual perception quality. In either case, the transform preferably is constrained for enforcing one or several display attributes. In a network setting, the technique can be implemented in distributed fashion, so that subtasks of the technique are performed by different, interconnected processors such as server, client and proxy processors.
