Title: Privacy panel system for ornamental fence
Inventor: FIELDEN TERRY WILLIAM
IPC: E04H17/16
Filed: 2005-05-25
Granted: 2010-12-14
Abstract: A privacy panel system for ornamental fences that include a plurality of panel members that are dimensioned to fit within adjacent pickets of the ornamental fence to close off and provide privacy between the pickets. Each panel member comprises a central section with offset attachment wings, the latter of which are affixed to the back planar face of the parallel fence pickets. The central section is offset to extend within and between adjacent pickets, but offset from the front face thereof. To provide privacy between a picket and a post, such as an end post, an elongated trim piece is provided having a first edge defining a slot with a slot gap substantially equal to the thickness of the privacy panel to enable a free edge of a central section of the privacy panel to be tightly detained within the slot. The free edge of the privacy pane! is formed by cutting the central section vertically to provide a tree end, which is rigidly and securely retained within the slot. Thus, the spacing between a picket and an end post, which is typically not of uniform spacing, car! be closed off through the use of the end post trim piece in combination with the cut central section of the privacy panel.
Patent CA-2510313-C (CA)
Title: Saposin c and receptors as targets for treatment of benign and malignant disorders
Inventor: KOOCHEKPOUR SHAHRIAR
IPC: C07K14/415
Filed: 2003-12-18
Granted: 2011-09-27
Abstract: Saposin C was shown to be a trophic factor for a variety of cancer cells, e.g., prostate, lung, breast, and colon cancer cells. These cells expressed saposin C and responded to saposin C by increased levels of cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell invasion. Such activities typify and promote the neoplastic process. A conjugate of a peptide of the active region of saposin C (TX14A) and a toxin (saporin) was made and was shown to decrease the survival of prostate cancer cells, and the other cancer cells that were found to express saposin C (including cancers cells of the breast, colon, and lung). This conjugate or a compound of analogous action that inhibits cellular growth acting via a saposin-C binding receptor can be used to decrease tumor growth and/or treat disorders of stromal proliferation (e.g., benign prostatic hyperplasia, atherosclerosis, and vascular restenosis).

Title: Procede de synchronisation sur le canal de liaison ascendante d'un reseau de diffusion simultanee
Inventor: MEGE PHILIPPE
IPC: H04W92/10
Filed: 2004-12-14
Granted: 2013-09-03
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de synchronisation sur le canal de liaison ascendante d'un réseau de diffusion simultanée à l'aide de plusieurs récepteurs fixes (BS1-BS4) et d'une unité de sélection (20). Selon ce procédé, tous les récepteurs sont mis dans un mode de recherche de synchronisation (702), dans lequel ils recherchent un modèle de synchronisation envoyé par le terminal mobile sur le canal de liaison ascendante. Lorsqu'un récepteur détecte le modèle de synchronisation, il produit un contexte de synchronisation initial (SC3(0)), qui indique le retard du signal radio par rapport à une référence de temps du réseau et le transmet (705) à l'unité de sélection. Cette dernière le diffuse (707) à tous les récepteurs qui l'utilisent pour démarrer le traitement du signal radio. Ensuite, chaque récepteur conserve son contexte de synchronisation et le transmet (708-712) à l'unité de sélection sur chaque trame. A des intervalles réguliers, la valeur d'un contexte de synchronisation mis à jour (SC2(i)) est diffusée (714) aux récepteurs. Cette invention est avantageuse en ce que la synchronisation d'un récepteur qui commence à recevoir le signal radio lors d'un appel ou d'un tour alterné est facilitée.

Abstract: Linvention concerne un processus, un appareil et un programme de sélection dobjets dans une base de données de gestion de cycle de vie contenant des objets modélisés. Le processus comprend laffichage (étape 620) dans une interface utilisateur graphique dun aperçu dun ensemble dobjets de la base de données. Ledit aperçu est un aperçu non associatif, cest-à-dire que les éléments graphiques dudit aperçu ne sont pas partitionnés selon les objets individuels de lensemble, du point de vue du système. À cet égard, le processus peut comprendre, avant létape de laffichage, des représentations dagrégation (étape 610) dobjets respectifs de lensemble des objets pour former laperçu affiché. Laperçu est alors rendu plus rapidement. Ensuite, selon la définition (étape 630) dun volume par lutilisateur, on détermine (étapes 640 à 650) les objets qui croisent ledit volume dans laperçu non associatif. Le processus comprend une recherche dans la base de données et lidentification des objets utilisateurs selon le croisement. On utilise, par exemple, des boîtes de délimitation, stockées dans la base de données de cycle de vie dun produit (étape 600). Par conséquent, la solution proposée permet à un utilisateur dafficher rapidement un aperçu de lensemble des objets tout en permettant la sélection dobjets dans laperçu, sans le besoin de charger les représentations complètes et exactes de tous les objets de laperçu lorsque lutilisateur cherche des objets particuliers sur lesquels travailler.

Abstract: Peracetic acid in aqueous liquid solution or vapor phase is prepared on-site and on-demand in a continuous process. Peracetic acid can be produced at a controlled rate to meet the demands of a downstream operation. In one embodiment, a pipe-line reactor and distillation column is used for the production of peracetic acid. In another embodiment, an apparatus includes a continuous pot reactor and distillation column for producing peracetic acid.  The present invention has the potential of providing a much safer source of aqueous peracetic acid than currently available processes, due in part to the limited inventories of reactants in the reactor, particularly those in the vapor phase.

Abstract: The invention relates to the determination of a pair of ophthalmic lenses, by measurement of the sagittal plane shift of the wearer for close vision with relation to the standard sagittal plane. Optimisation targets are then chosen as a function of the measured shift. The lenses are determined by optimisation with the chosen targets. Lenses are thus obtained with which the field of close vision is symmetrical with relation to the medial line as perceived by the wearer. A wearer with a displaced sagittal plane thus has a greater close vision field which facilitates binocular vision and increases acuity.
