Patent CA-2421292-A1 (CA)
Title: Analysing a moving image
Inventor: STENTIFORD FREDERICK WARWICK M
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2001-08-22
Abstract: In a moving picture, pixel values are a function of both space and time. A  measure of visual significance is generated by taking the pixel along with a second, nearby, randomly chosen pixel (though its temporal offset from the first may be fixed) and comparing these with a comparison pixel pair. The comparison pair are randomly selected from the image (though its temporal offset may be fixed) but the spacial and temporal displacement between the members of the comparison pair is the same as between the numbers of the test pair. Further comparison pairs are then chosen, and the measure generated depends on the number of matches obtained in the comparisons. A third pair may also added. Also, the pairs may be replaced by groups of more than two.

Title: Methods for the identification of inhibitors of alpha-aminoadipate reductase and homocitrate synthase as antibiotics
Inventor: MONTENEGRO-CHAMORRO MARIA VICT
IPC: C12Q1/18
Filed: 2002-11-12
Abstract: The present inventors have discovered that .alpha.-Aminoadipate Reductase and Homocitrate Synthase are each essential for fungal pathogenicity.  Specifically, the inhibition of .alpha.-Aminoadipate Reductase or Homocitrate Synthase gene expression in fungi results in no signs of successful infection or lesions. Thus, .alpha.-Aminoadipate Reductase or Homocitrate Synthase can be used as a target for the identification of antibiotics, preferably antifungals. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for the identification of compounds that inhibit .alpha.-Aminoadipate Reductase or Homocitrate Synthase expression or activity. The methods of the invention are useful for the identification of antibiotics, preferably antifungals.

Title: Compositions and methods associated with pro5725 and its use for the diagnosis of lung and colon tumor
Inventor: GODDARD AUDREY
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis.  Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.
