Patent CA-2357340-A1 (CA)
Title: Wellbore resistivity tool with simultaneous multiple frequencies
Inventor: WISLER MACMILLAN M
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 2001-09-14
Abstract: The present invention is a propagation resistivity system that utilizes one or more transmitter coil antennas, or "transmitters" and at least two receiver coil antennas, or "receivers". The system uses a wellbore resistivity tool which may be embodied as a MWD tool or as a wireline tool. Two or more transmitters may be spaced equally on either side of two or more spaced-apart receivers. Two or more frequencies are transmitted and received simultaneously. Multiple frequencies may be transmitted from each transmitter or from separate transmitters at the same time. Multiple frequencies are simultaneously received and analyzed by the receiver electronics, thereby reducing the measurement time for multiple frequency measurements. In one embodiment each of two transmitters transmits simultaneously. One transmitter operates on a high frequency. The second transmitter operates at a lower frequency. The higher frequency signal penetrates a relatively shallow radial distance into the formation and the lower frequency penetrates to a radial depth which exceeds the higher frequency. Composite measurements made at two radial depths are used to compensate for factors having adverse effects on resistivity measurements in the immediate region of the borehole. Such factors include invasion, variations in borehole size, variations in borehole fluid, and the like.

Title: The isolation and enrichment of neural stem cells from uncultured tissue based on cell-surface marker expression
Inventor: ANDERSON DAVID J
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: The invention provides methods for the prospective identification, isolation, and self-renewal of neural stem cells from the mammalian peripheral nervous system and compositions of neural stem cells derived from uncultured tissue.  Using flow-cytometry, neural crest derived cells of embryonic peripheral nerve were fractionated based on cell surface markers. The isolated p75+ P0 cells from embryonic sciatic nerve were phenotypically and functionally indistinguishable from neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) previously isolated from neural tube explant cultures. Furthermore, freshly isolated p75+ P0 cells gave rise to both neurons and glia when transplanted in vivo. Cell cycle analysis and BrdU labeling indicated that p75+P0 NCSCs persist in the peripheral nerve by undergoing self-renewing divisions after neural crest migration has ceased.

IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 2001-04-18
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système d'estimation de décalage et de synchronisation de bits et un procédé. Ce système d'estimation de décalage comprend un premier circuit permettant de recevoir, corréler un signal émis et de générer un signal de déclenchement en réponse à ce signal. Un second circuit accumule le signal reçu et émet un second signal à réception du signal de déclenchement. Ce second signal est ensuite converti en signal d'erreur de décalage. Dans une mise en oeuvre exemplaire, le système d'estimation de décalage est mis en oeuvre dans un récepteur radio à capacité Bluetooth adapté pour recevoir un signal émis avec une configuration binaire connue. Le signal reçu comprend une pluralité de messages, chaque message possédant au moins un code d'accès et chaque code d'accès possédant une configuration prédéterminée destinée à au moins une partie de celui-ci. Ce système d'estimation de décalage analyse la configuration binaire et détecte le décalage en continu du signal reçu. Le signal d'erreur est converti en signal analogique et utilisé comme entrée de référence pour le convertisseur A/N. On peut éventuellement utiliser le signal d'erreur pour régler la sortie signal par un étage mélangeur à conversion de fréquence intermédiaire. Ce nouveau système de synchronisation de bits comprend un premier circuit destiné à recevoir et à corréler le premier signal avec un ensemble de pondérations et à fournir un signal corrélé en réponse à ce signal. On choisit ces pondérations de façon à obtenir la meilleure corrélation par rapport à la configuration binaire du signal émis. Un second circuit permet d'identifier une crête dans le signal corrélé et de fournir un signal de sortie de synchronisation de bits en réponse à ce signal. Ce signal de sortie de synchronisation de bits est ensuite utilisé par un échantillonneur de bit de donnée de façon à échantillonner le premier signal.

Patent CA-2378741-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALMSTROM KURT
IPC: G01N21/25
Filed: 2000-07-10
Abstract: A method is disclosed for analysing colour image data relating to a target object, particularly an animal carcase, to derive or predict a property of the object of which colour is an indicator, such as meat yield. The method includes the step of processing the colour data to derive "intensity normalised" or light intensity independent measures of colour values, followed by the step of calculating the property of the object utilising the light intensity independent colour measures in a predictive equation in which the light intensity independent colour measures are variables and the property of the object is calculated from solving the predictive equation. The predictive equation can be developed from data gathered during a data gathering experiment using images captured for real target objects, and correlating the light intensity independent colour measures obtained from these data with the actual measured property of each of the real target objects to derive the predictive equation by statistical analysis techniques to best fit the data.  For meat carcase analysis, the property predicted can be the "yield", "conformation", or "fat score" of a carcase in a standard carcase grading system, or can be the "yield grade" or "quality grade" of meat from a carcase in a standard meat grading system.
