Patent CA-2527780-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOODING ROBERT W
IPC: G01N1/40
Filed: 2004-07-21
Abstract: A sclereid concentrator is an apparatus designed to concentrate sclereids found in pulp. The sclereid concentrator is based around a mini-hydrocyclone (1). When a slush pulp sample is passed through the mini-hydrocyclone, practically all the sclereids are removed by the reject port. The reject sample is then collected, screened (11, 12) and the sclereids are then manually counted or an image analysis system is used to automatically count the sclereids. This count, expressed on the basis of the original sample mass, gives an accurate measurement of the sclereid contamination level in the pulp.  There is provided a sclereid concentrator device, a procedure to produce almost pure sclereids and a method to count sclereids manually or by image analysis.

Title: Method for hla typing
Inventor: KUCHARZAK RAMON
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-11-26
Abstract: A method for the identification of DNA sequence elements in complex and highly variable sequences is described. The method consists of identifying a short sequence element of several DNA bases (2-6 bases) at a given position in the genome simultaneously on all parental alleles. The method allows differentiating mini-haplotypes on different alleles in one analysis. The method consists of carrying out an enzymatic primer extension reaction with a combination of extension primers (pool of primers) and analysing the products by mass spectrometry. The pool of primers is assembled in such a way that the primer extension product allows unambiguous identification of both the primer of the pool that was extended and the base that was added. The method is of great utility for DNA sequences harbouring many SNPs close to each other with many possible haplotypes. Such sequences are known in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). This method is particularly well suited for DNA-based HLA typing and in combination with a suitable selection of sites tested, it is superior in ease of operation to conventional HLA typing methods. We have identified sets of these assays for HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB  1 that allow unambiguous four-digit HLA of each of these genes with between 11 and 28 queried markers.

Title: Closed-loop focal positioning system and method
Inventor: JUHASZ TIBOR
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: A closed-loop focusing system and method positions a focusing assembly (26) to a desired positioned. A feedback positioning device (12), such as a linear encoder, provides an actual or "read" value for the linear movement of the focusing assembly. The desired position is compared to the actual position of the focusing assembly. If the two values are outside of a predetermined tolerance or valid range, then an audible or visual warning will be given.  When a laser source (41) is utilized with the focusing system, laser operation will be prevented if the two values are outside of an acceptable range.  However, if the difference between the desired position and the actual position are within an acceptable range, the focusing assembly is repositioned to allow real-time systematic correction of the position of the focusing assembly.
