Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'améliorer la recherche dans un équipement installé à distance d'un système de communication sans fil en mode segmenté. Dans un système de communication sans fil en mode segmenté, l'équipement installé à distance est à "l'état actif" durant son intervalle de temps attribué. Pendant l'état actif, une unité de commande dans l'équipement installé à distance transmet les ensembles de paramètres de recherche sélectionnés à un moteur de recherche. L'intervalle d'intégration des recherches effectuées est fondé sur la puissance du signal mesurée d'une autre station de base. Le moteur de recherche effectue les recherches à l'aide de l'intervalle d'intégration. Les recherches se poursuivent aussi longtemps que l'équipement installé à distance est à l'état actif. Les recherches cessent lorsque l'équipement installé à distance bascule vers un état inactif.

Patent CA-2408969-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASINO MICHAEL D
IPC: E04G7/28
Filed: 2002-10-18
Abstract: Platform assemblies may be built up using a substantial number of inverted U-shaped vertical supports with platform hold down members that hold the platforms in place, thus avoiding slippage or pilferage. The hold down members form a unitary structure with the supports and platform assemblies to hold the platforms securely in place. The unitary structure of the scaffolding assembly with hold down members acts as a deterrent against pilferage of the platforms because the unitary structure does not allow t he planks to be removed unless the platform assembly is substantially disassembled. It also reduces the steps required to assemble a secure platform assembly with hold down members thus saving time while still preventing slippage and pilferage. The hold down members may have holes at one end, and these holes have a diameter slightly greater than the outer diameter (OD) of the guide pipes at the junctions between vertically extending pipes. The other end of the hold down member is substantially U-shaped and at least partially wraps around the platforms. As the scaffolding is erected, once the first, lower set of U-shaped supports and overlying planks are set in place, then the hold down members are mounted on the upwardly-extending guide pipes and across the planks. Then, when the next higher set of U-shaped supports is mounted onto the lower set, the hold down members are held in place between the two sets of pipes, and the planks are held in place.  Alternatively, the ends of the hold down members may be clamped to the horizontal or vertical supports by hooks, clamps and/or latching members whereby disassembly of the scaffold is not necessary for removing or shifting the position of the hold down members.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, l'utilisation d'un agent anticancéreux ayant une structure unique qui n'est jamais signalée comme étant transportée par une protéine transporteuse connue capable de conférer une tolérance aux cellules cancéreuses permet d'établir une ligne cellulaire tolérante à cet agent anticancéreux. Ensuite, on isole avec succès un ADNc codant pour une protéine exprimée à un niveau élevé dans cette souche tolérante. On utilise ce gène ainsi que l'agent anticancéreux et sélectionner un agent anticancéreux pouvant être administré au patient. De plus, un composé candidat pour un inhibiteur du transporteur peut ainsi être analysé. L'utilisation d'une combinaison de l'inhibiteur ainsi obtenu avec l'agent anticancéreux décrit ci-dessus permet de renforcer la sensibilité des cellules cancéreuses tolérantes à l'agent anticancéreux.

Abstract: An improved process for extracting hydrocarbons from tar sands and the like includes the steps of digestion, separation/flotation, and secondary flotation. The digestion step comprises the formation of a relatively thick aqueous slurry of the tar sands, which is then hydrotransported to a separation vessel, preferably under high shear conditions. At the separation vessel, the slurry is diluted and treated with an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide to generate a gas within the slurry and to form a froth on the surface thereof. The froth entrains most of the hydrocarbon component, which are subsequently extracted. The coarse tailings are disposed of and the middlings stream is transported to a flotation tank and subjected to a second frothing process, preferably using hydrogen peroxide either alone or with additional air sparging.
