Patent CA-2487162-C (CA)
Inventor: GOVARI ASSAF
IPC: A61B1/00
Filed: 2004-11-08
Granted: 2013-04-02
Abstract: A method is provided for tracking an object, including positioning a radio frequency (RF) driver to radiate an RF driving field toward the object, and fixing to the object a wireless transponder that includes a power coil and at least one sensor coil. The method also includes receiving the RF driving field using the power coil and storing electrical energy derived therefrom. A plurality of field generators are driven to generate electromagnetic fields at respective frequencies in a vicinity of the object that induce a voltage drop across the at least one sensor coil. A digital output signal is generated at the wireless transponder indicative of the voltage drop across the sensor coil, and the generation of the digital output signal is powered using the stored electrical energy. The digital output signal is transmitted from the wireless transponder using the power coil, and the transmission of the digital output signal is powered using the stored electrical energy. The digital output signal is received and processed to determine coordinates of the object.

Granted: 2011-08-02
Abstract: The present inventors succeeded in isolating GWT1 (PfGWT1), which is one of the enzymes involved in GPI biosynthesis in the malaria parasite P.  falciparum. In addition, the inventors revealed that degenerate mutant DNAs, with a lower AT content than the DNA encoding the PfGWT1 protein, can complement the phenotype of GWT1-deficient yeast. Based on the findings, the present invention provides the GWT1 protein of malaria parasites and the use of the protein in methods of screening for antimalarial drugs. The present invention also provides degenerate mutant DNAs encoding proteins involved in GPI biosynthesis, and which have a lower AT content than the original DNAs.  The present invention also provides methods of screening for antimalarial drugs which use the degenerate mutant DNAs.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes an EEG system comprising of sensors which are utilized to gather an electromagnetic signal from a patient;  a signal processing system; and a computer system. The computer system is configured to support multiple threads of execution. The computer system initiates a first thread of execution, a measurement module, where the data is filtered and in some cases averaged. Typically, the data is filtered for a particular latency period. Once the data has been filtered and averaged, the result is given to a second thread of execution, the source reconstruction module, which then proceeds to generate a source reconstruction for the trial.  The measurement module then acquires and processes new electromagnetic data from a new trial while the source reconstruction is being performed on the most recent trial.

Abstract: Operation of a system for injecting a predetermined amount of a secondary fluid into a primary fluid stream uses a liquid additive injection pump driven by a fluid-powered-motor driven by the primary fluid stream can be selectively suspended by an on/off switch mechanism.  The fluid-powered-motor includes a housing enclosing a differential pressure piston assembly having a piston movable within a housing between upstroke and down stroke positions; a valve mechanism establishing a differential pressure within the housing to produce movement of the piston; an over-center mechanism coupled to the valve mechanism to toggle the valve mechanism between open and closed positions; and an actuating shaft coupled to the over-center mechanism, the actuating shaft including a piston upstroke stop that causes toggling of the valve mechanism at an upstroke position of the piston during normal reciprocating movement of the piston. The on/off switch mechanism axially displaces the actuating shaft relative to the housing such that the piston upstroke stop assumes an offset position when the on/off switch mechanism is in the "off' position whereby the piston upstroke stop can not be engaged to cause toggling of the valve mechanism when the piston reaches its upstroke position. In the "on" position, the on/off switch mechanism positions the actuating shaft relative to the housing such that the piston upstroke stop can be engaged to cause toggling of the valve mechanism when the piston reaches its upstroke position.
