Patent CA-2195206-A1 (CA)
Title: Transgenic cereal plants
Inventor: BOWEN BENJAMIN A
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1995-07-26
Abstract: To obtain a transgenic cereal plant which is stably transformed, an exposed cereal meristem is subjected to biolistic bombardment in order to target nondifferentiated meristem cells for transformation. Immature embryos at the early proembryo, mid proembryo, late proembryo, transitional or early coleoptilar stage are harvested for biolistic bombardment. The meristem tissue or cells fated to contribute to the meristem then are manipulated in order to enlarge transgenic sectors, either through selection and/or through effecting a proliferation from the tissue of shoots or multiple meristems per se. The shoot population thus obtained then is screened, by means of a nonlethal enrichment assay, to identify either chimeric sectors that will contribute to germline transmission, or non-sectored, L2 periclinal chimeras that will by definition transmit to progeny. Increased time in culture, under selection, enhances the prospects for sectoral-to-periclinal conversions, and also selects for L1-to-L2 conversions which, through a shift in position, ultimately contribute to the germline. Transgenic sectors also are stabilized during the step of tillering.

Title: Vehicle alarm and lot monitoring system
Inventor: JENKINS MARK
IPC: B60R25/10
Filed: 1997-02-07
Abstract: A programmable alarm and lot monitoring system monitors a plurality of individual vehicles congregated together in a given area.  A central server transmits RF signals to individual RF transponder sensor units installed on respective individual vehicles and receives RF signals from the Rf transponder units.          Each RF transponder unit senses a change in the status of the respective vehicle and, upon sensing a change, transmits an RF violation signal to the central server and also honks the horn, flashes the lights, and/or sounds an audible alarm.  The central server may activate a remote video camera to record the scene of the violation, and if moved, follow the movement of the vehicle until out of camera range and transmit a violation message to a remote security station.   In a global alarm mode, all of the individual RF transponder units honk the horn, flash the lights, and/or sound the alarm on all of the vehicles upon one of the units sensing a violation.   Each RF transponder unit may be programmed to disconnect the battery of the vehicle upon sensing a violation, and to sense the vehicle battery voltage and notify the central server of the vehicle having a weak battery.  In a vehicle locate mode selected RF transponder units  flash the lights, honk the horn, or sound an alarm upon receiving a signal from the central server so that a particular vehicle may be easily located out of a group of vehicles.  The RF transponder units may be polled by the central server at selective times to determine which vehicles are in inventory and which are not.

Patent CA-2201971-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OGRODNICK CLARENCE
IPC: B60P3/06
Filed: 1997-04-07
Abstract: The present invention comprises a rigid support frame which fits inside the cargo box of a pick up truck. Two of the individual elements which comprise the frame overhang the cargo box sidewalls and serve as anchor points for tie down cables as well as convenient locations for marker lights. The frame supports a drive train assembly which comprises a differential unit driven indirectly via a pulley system by a direct current electric motor. One differential output shaft is directly coupled to a first wire cable winch for rotation thereof while the other differential output shaft is directly coupled to a second wire cable winch having first passed through a third cable winch with the third winch free to rotate about the differential output shaft. A conventional clutch mechanism interposed between the second and the third cable winch couples and decouples the second and third winch so that, when required the third winch may be directly driven in unison with the second winch. Cable from the first and second winches is routed via a pulley system such that as the cable is wound onto the winch cable movement is toward the front of the truck cargo box. Cable from the third winch is routed such that as the cable is wound onto the winch, cable movement will be in a direction toward the rear of the truck cargo box. The cable ends are secured to one end of a flat cargo platform. The other end of the platform incorporates a pair of freewheeling wheels which enable free movement of the platform along the ground. In operation, snowmobiles are loaded onto the cargo platform and secured thereon byconventional means. The electric motor is engaged such that the first and second winches are rotated via the differential in a counterclockwise direction which winds the cable into the winch body. The retracting cable first raises and then draws the platform onto a pair of guide pulleys located on the support frame and subsequently fully onto the frame. During this process the third winch is freewheeling and releasing cable as necessary. Unloading the platform requires that the clutch mechanism is engaged to couple the second and third winches together. The direction of rotation of the electric motor is reversed and the first, second, and third winches rotate in a clockwise direction. The third winch now begins to retract cable while the first and second winches release cable. As the third winch retracts cable, the platform is drawn off the support frame and toward the rear of the truck cargo box. As the platform draws far enough rearward to tilt off the support frame, the clutch is disengaged and the third winch again freewheels leaving the platform to continue to lower under its own weight controlled by the rate at which the cable is released from the first and second winches.

Abstract: A load balancing method and apparatus are provided, by which loads in a wide range of the entire system can be balanced with a small overhead with respect to load balancing processing, and the mean response time of the entire system can be shortened. The method has the steps of (i) estimating a load of the present nodebased on the number of tasks being or waiting to be processed and determining  an estimated load value of the node; (ii) accepting a task passing through a logical ring network (60B), and every time a task is accepted, comparing  the estimated load value and a threshold value which is set with respect to the number of tasks existing in the node so as to limit the load of the node; and (iii) judging, based on a result of the comparison, whether the accepted task is handed over to a task processing unit (20), or is transmitted to the logical ring network again without handing over the task to the task processing unit. The threshold value may be changed in accordance with a change of the number of tasks passing through the logical ring network during a fixed period, or when a round trip task is detected.

Title: Aerosolized general anesthetic agents
Inventor: HENRY RICHARD A
IPC: A61M16/01
Filed: 1996-03-04
Abstract: Non-volatile general anesthetics are advantageously provided to patients in aerosolized form using a metered dose inhaler. The anesthetics are highly lipophilic in character and are rapidly absorbed through the nasal, oral, and lung mucosa. Experiments have shown that propofol is readily soluble in hydrofluorocarbon propellants without the use of surfactants and co-solvents. The solubility allows for the controlled delivery of concentrated pure anesthetic agents like propofol to the airway mucosa of human and animal patients to cause rapid onset of sedation or anesthesia without the requirement of prior intravenous access.

Abstract: Systems and methods for separating mono nuclear cells from whole blood rotate a separation compartment (38) about a rotational axis. Whole blood is introduced from an inlet region (74) into a first region (76) of the chamber during its rotation to separte the whole blood into a plasma constituent, red blood cells and interphase between the red blood cells and the plasma constituent. The interface contains mono nuclear cells. While conveying whole blood into the first region, the plasma constituent is collected in the first region, while collecting the red blood cells in a second region of the chamber spaced away from the inlet region. Red blood cells are than conveyed into the second region (78) in a back flow direction toward the inlet region. While conveying red blood cells into the second region, the mono nuclear cells are collected in the first region.
