Patent CA-2373046-A1 (CA)
Title: Small arm with center or off-center line of sight
Inventor: GIELKE GERHARD
IPC: F41G1/48
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a small arm (1, 5) on which a sighting device (21, 27) is mounted by means of a mounting device (15, 17) in such a man-ner that its design or its mounting renders the arm at least difficult to use for a left-handed rifleman or renders the conversion of the arm (1, 5) for the use of a left-handed rifleman difficult or impossible. To overcome this problem, a mount-ing device (15, 17) is provided that can be mounted on the arm (1, 5) either at the right-hand side or the left-hand side or so as to face the right-hand side or the left-hand side. The sighting device (21, 27) is preferably mounted on the mounting device (15, 17) in such a manner that it can be shifted and that it points forward.  The arm (1, 5) is preferably provided with a mounting surface (9) at each side.  The arm is furthermore a combined arm (1, 5), especially a semi-automatic rifle (1) with a rifle grenade unit (5), the two mounting surfaces (9) being mounted either on the grenade launcher (5) or on the rifle (1), especially so close to the sighting device (33) thereof.

IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2000-06-30
Abstract: Means and a method for determination of a distance between a transmitting station and a receiving station is disclosed. In the method a characteristic parameter is determined for the radio propagation environment of the receiving station. At least one feature of a signal that has been received at the receiving station is measured, said feature being such that it can be used for the determination of the distance between the stations. The distance is then computed based on said measured signal feature and the characteristic parameter.

IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2002-04-03
Abstract: A corrected torque command value P_TRQ which is produced by correcting a torque command value TRQ with a torque command correcting unit 34 is substantially propor-tional to the armature current of an electric motor. Using the corrected torque command value P_TRQ and its average value P_ATRQ, an inferred temperature change .DELTA.tf of the electric motor is determined in each predetermined cycle time. The inferred temperature change .DELTA.tf calculated in a fuzzy inference operation, for example. The inferred tem-perature change .DELTA.tf is integrated by an integrating unit 37 to determine an accumulated temperature change .DELTA.Tf. The output of the electric motor is limited when the accumulat-ed temperature change .DELTA.Tf exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, des paquets d'ordonnancement sont échangés entre des noeuds voisins d'un réseau informatique. Ces paquets de programmation comprennent des descriptions d'un voisinage à deux bonds d'un noeud de transmission à l'intérieur de ce réseau informatique, des noeuds étant capables de déterminer des programmes de transmission à partir des informations reçues via ces paquets d'ordonnancement. Ledit réseau informatique est de préférence un réseau synchronisé dans lequel le temps est divisé en une pluralité de trames, chacune de ces trames étant constituée d'une pluralité d'intervalles. Ainsi, l'échange de paquets d'ordonnancement se produit dans un premier ensemble d'intervalles de chaque trame, de préférence dans une voie de communication classique. Les programmes de transmission peuvent être déterminés, du moins en partie, étant donné que les noeuds annoncent leur disponibilité au moyen de ces paquets d'ordonnancement. Les descriptions susmentionnées peuvent comprendre une identification des voies et/ou des temps de communication reçus, une identification des voies et/ou des temps de communication demandés, ainsi qu'une identification des voies et/ou des temps de communication disponibles. Les voies et/ou les temps de communication demandés correspondent à des voies et/ou des temps disponibles annoncés par un ou plusieurs noeuds dudit réseau informatique. Dans cette configuration, l'identification des voies et/ou des temps de communication réservés s'effectue après l'élimination de toutes les transmissions planifiées en conflit pour ces voies et/ou ces temps de communication.

Patent CA-2391200-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLOCHLE PATRICK
IPC: G01N21/41
Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: There already do exist refractive measuring devices that can determine properties of liquids. However, all of these systems use complicated optical arrays and cavities to determine the properties, which make them expensive and quite difficult to operate. The prior products use a point source light, usually a LASER light source, with one light receiver, pointed at an angle through what is being measured. The fight then refracts and the receiving device, usually a CCD, determines the shift in the light path.
Patent CA-2391438-A1 (CA)
IPC: G01N33/577
Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: PSP94 constitutes one of three predominant proteins found in human seminal fluid along with Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and Prostate Acid Phosphatase (PAP). PSP94 has been shown to have a therapeutic effect in the treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer and in the suppression of secretion of circulating follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In the serum, PSP94 occurs as a free or bound form, associated with a carrier protein. PSP94 in its bound form has been quantified in the blood of prostate cancer patients and these measurements have shown utility as prognostic evaluation. The present invention provides new polypeptides (SEQ ID NO.:2, SEQ ID NO.:3), identified herein as PSP94-binding protein, its purification process, its nucleic acid and amino acid sequence and to the use of these sequences in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of prostate cancer and diseases characterized by abnormal or elevated levels of PSP94 and/or FSH. More particularly, the present invention discloses improved diagnostic and prognostic assays, and reagents useful for the evaluation of conditions linked with abnormal or elevated levels of PSP94, such as prostate cancer.

Title: Process for recovering methane and/or sequestering fluids in coal beds
Inventor: MAVOR MATTHEW JOHN
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: A process for recovering methane from a coal bed and/or sequestering a fluid more strongly adsorbing than methane ("SAG") in a coal bed involves fracturing an injection well and cyclically injecting SAG with intervening shut-in periods. Even though the absolute permeability of the coal bed decreases with continued SAG sorption, the SAG injectivity, surprisingly and unexpectedly, increases while injecting SAG at pressures greater than reservoir pressure, but less than fracture pressure or fracture extension pressure. The increased injectivity is thought to be due to a reduction in near-well flow resistance.
