Title: Methods, apparatus and computer program products for determining quantities of nucleic acid sequences in samples
Inventor: HAALAND PERRY D
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-04-27
Abstract: Methods for determining quantities of nucleic acid sequences in samples include the steps of amplifying a plurality of known quantities of a nucleic acid sequence in respective calibration samples and an unknown quantity of a nucleic acid sequence in a test sample, in parallel, during a time interval. These samples may be amplified using an isothermal amplification method such as Strand Displacement Amplification (SDA), or a thermal cycling amplification method such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), for example. Indicia of the quantities of a nucleic acid sequence being amplified in the calibration and test samples are then measured using conventional techniques, at measurement points in the time interval. Steps are then performed to determine for a first potential cutoff level, a corresponding first set of time points in the time interval at which the indicia of the quantities of a nucleic acid sequence being amplified in each of the calibration samples equal the first cutoff level. This step is then repeated for each of a number of different potential cutoff levels so that respective sets of time points in the time interval can be obtained for each potential cutoff level. According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, a step is then performed to determine, relative to a statistical criterion, which of the sets of points in the time interval better satisfies the statistical criterion against the known quantities of a nucleic acid sequence in the calibration samples. A quantity of a nucleic acid sequence in the test sample is then determined based on the set of points determined to better or best satisfy the statistical criterion. The accuracy of the determination can also be improved using a relatively large number of potential cutoff levels.

Patent CA-2236748-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIMMET CHRISTIAN J
IPC: A61D19/02
Filed: 1998-06-02
Abstract: Two flat plastic segments are sealed along the edges and bottom to present an upwardly opening bag. A sheet of filter material is folded to form a filter pouch and positioned within the collapsed collection bag, with the upper edges of the folded filter material halves fused to opposing sides of the bag above a line of weakened material. When the bag is disposed within a collection mug, the upper portions of the bag extend as a shroud around the exterior of the mug, and the filter material is stretched out across the opening to the bag. A boar's penis is directed to ejaculate into the mug, and the ejaculate gel plug is retained on the filter material, while the semen passes through the filter material into the collection bag. When collection is complete, the shroud and the attached filter material are separated from the collection bag and disposed of.

Title: Method for thermoelectric two-phase cooling system
Inventor: KULKARNI ARUN
IPC: F25B21/02
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: In thermoelectric cooling system using fluid as an evaporating and cooling fluid, it is known that the thermoelectric module boils the fluid in a boiler in contact with the hot side of the module. The vapour goes into standard condenser with horizontal tube arrangements. It is also known that some of the condensed fluid will not flow into the boiler as a part of it will settle in the condenser. It is also known that from the condenser, the fluid flows directly into the boiler. In this invention, non-standard condenser, a newly developed gravity condenser is used. From the condenser the fluid does not go straight into the boiler but empties into an accumulator. From the accumulator it is channeled through the cooler insulation prior to arriving at the boiler. Along the lines valves and/or pumps or/and compressors may be incorporated.

Title: Method of minimizing power consumption within an electronic price label
Inventor: GOODWIN JOHN C III
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 1998-08-31
Abstract: A method of minimizing power consumption within an electronic price label (EPL) which conserves battery life.  A time period for removing power from a transceiver within the EPL is determined by a computer from price change frequency data.  A message to control circuitry within the EPL is sent by the computer as soon as possible following a change in price displayed by the EPL.  The message includes a command to remove power from the transceiver and the power down time period.  Power is removed from the transceiver by the control circuitry.  The control circuitry counts until the power down time period is exhausted.  Power is applied to the transceiver by the control circuitry when the power down time period is exhausted.  Finally, a first time within the control circuitry is synchronized by the control circuitry to a second time indicated by the computer after the power down timer period is exhausted and before any additional message is sent to the EPL.

Patent CA-2255987-A1 (CA)
Title: Manufacture of unidirectional fibre reinforced thermoplastics
Inventor: ERLACH HANS
IPC: B29B15/12
Filed: 1998-12-14
Abstract: The method for the manufacture of unidirectionally fibre reinforced thermoplastic bands (1) comprises a pressure impregnation of a fibre strand (1') in a bath (3) with a dispersion (22) of thermoplastic particles. Heat treatments (5, 6) for the drying of the strand (1") and a melting on of the particles taken up by the strand follow the pressure impregnation. The strand is drawn through the bath at a predetermined draw-off speed (v) about a plurality of deflection elements (4). The dispersion (22) of the bath is largely held in a stationary state, namely through the supply of an infeed dispersion (21) with a first particle concentration (c1) and through an initial setting of a second particle concentration (c2) in the bath: The infeed dispersion is fed in continuously or periodically, with the first particle concentration being held constant. A corresponding feeding in of a dispersion of higher particle concentrations as well as an additional amount of dispersing medium (210) is possible. The second particle concentration is set to a value which remains constant through an automatic self-setting alone. In this the two named concentrations (c1, c2) depend in an empirically determinable manner on a thermoplastic content (.theta.) of the band (1) to be achieved and on the draw-off speed (v).

Patent CA-2264100-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JUENGST ERNST-WERNER
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1997-08-14
Abstract: A process is disclosed for the machine production of engineering data of products made of components assembled according to individual specifications. The original schematic drawing, which acts as a generaic representation of the product variation spectrum, and in which all possible components of the product are represented by at least one symbol, is coded and stored in the memory of the information processing equipment. The conditions for the presence of components or operation means of components in a specific design of the product are stored in the memory in such a way that they are associated with the symbols of the original schematic drawing which correspond to the components or to the operating means of the components. According to this process, a target schematic drawing is generated by checking on the basis of the specification values if the conditions associated with each symbol of the original schematic drawing are fulfilled, and by deciding depending on the check results (and possibly on other criteria) if and how the symbol in question will be integrated into the target schematic drawing. The target schematic drawing serves as engineering data.
