Patent CA-2617658-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for making fiber composite article
Inventor: MOTT JOHN R
IPC: D03D33/00
Filed: 2006-08-01
Abstract: A fiber composite article is wound on a mandrel in a vertical orientation to ensure even tension in the fibers. Composite material is preferably glass fibers and cement. The fibers are applied by an assembly that moves in vertical and horizontal directions and the cement may be applied to the fibers before they are wound. After the fibers and cement are applied to the mandrel, the article is vibrated to allow escape of air and to ensure even coating of the fibers. The apparatus for vibrating the wound article includes a flexible sleeve that surrounds the article and moves vertically to apply a vibrating radial compacting force. The article may then be wound with tape to compress the applied glass fibers and cement prevent the loss of water during curing. A  compressible sock is placed on the mandrel between the mandrel and the article for easier removal of the article.
Patent CA-2617765-A1 (CA)
Title: Reversible electrochemical sensors for polyions
Inventor: BAKKER ERIC
IPC: G01N27/26
Filed: 2006-07-27
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a reversible electrochemical sensor for polyions. The sensor uses active extraction and ion stripping, which are controlled electrochemically. Spontaneous polyion extraction is suppressed by using membranes containing highly lipophilic electrolytes that possess no ion-exchange properties. Reversible extraction of polyions is induced by constant current pulse of fixed duration applied across the membrane. Subsequently, polyions are removed by applying a constant stripping potential. The sensors provide excellent stability and reversibility and allow for measurements of heparin concentration in whole blood samples via protamine titration. The sensors can also monitor a polyion concentration and an enzyme activity, wherein the polyion decomposition is directly proportional to the enzyme activity in a sample. Additionally, the sensors can monitor an enzyme inhibitor activity. Also, an immunoassay can be used to detect analytes by employing one of a polyion and an enzyme as markers.

Title: Inhibition of pax2 by defb1 induction as a therapy for cancer
Inventor: DONALD CARLTON D
IPC: A61K31/70
Filed: 2006-10-16
Abstract: Provided is a method of treating cancer in a subject by inhibiting expression of PAX2. An example of a cancer treated by the present method is prostate cancer. Similarly, provided is a method of treating cancer in a subject by increasing expression of DEFBl in the subject. In the method wherein the expression of DEFBl is increased, it can be increased by blocking the binding of PAX2 to the DEFBl promoter. Blocking the binding of PAX2 to the DEFBl promoter can be by administration of an oligonucleotide containing the PAX2 DNA binding site of DEFBl. This oligonucleotide can be complementary to the sequence of PAX2 that binds to the DEFBl promoter. Alternatively, the oligonucleotide can interact with the PAX2 in a way that inhibits binding to DEFBl.

The optical grating(s) (114-1) also varies the index of refraction of the first optical cladding layer (104). The selected wavelengths of light are determined in part by the index of refraction of the core material 105 as dependent upon a parameter of interest 122 applied to the core material 105 and as varied by the optical grating(s) (114-1). One or more detectors (410, 430, 450, 455) are used for determining the properties of the reflected and/or transmitted light. Knowing the properties of the reflected and/or transmitted light, a parameter of interest (122) can be determined.

Title: Engineered paths in a link state protocol controlled ethernet network
Inventor: ASHWOOD-SMITH PETER
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2007-11-02
Abstract: Traffic Engineered (TE) paths may be created over a link state protocol controlled Ethernet network by causing explicit paths to be installed by network elements on the link state protocol controlled Ethernet network and used to forward traffic on the network. The network elements exchange routing information using link state advertisements to enable each node on the network to build a link state database that may be used to determine shortest paths through the network. The shortest paths are used as a default forwarding state for traffic that is not associated with one of the traffic engineered paths. The link state advertisements 'may also be used to carry the TE path definitions. Where the TE paths are to be used exclusive of other routes, forwarding state for particular service instances may be removed to prevent traffic from traversing the network other than over the TE path.
