Patent CA-2736083-A1 (CA)
IPC: H04W4/90

Abstract: Nowadays, nearly every one carries a cell phone. However when disaster happens, such as a earthquake or a tsunami, power lines will be destroyed and wireless base stations will no longer function. Currently available response systems are vehicle based and, as roads will be destroyed when a disaster happens, vehicle-based response system will be not able to reach disaster areas until hours or days later.   Cell phone designs are based on normal operation scenarios. When a cell phone cannot receive a signal from base stations, it will constantly scan to try to find another base station signal. As such, the battery will die before vehicle based emergency response systems arrive.   This patent presents backpack based system for emergency and rescue purposes.  It weights less than 15Kg and its battery allows continuous operation for 8 hours. The backpack can be carried in by foot or dropped by a helicopter into disaster areas.   This unique system consists of a base station, a power amplifier, a control unit, battery packs, an omni antenna, a satellite phone, and a water proof backpack. This provides a basic wireless system allowing rescuers to communicate with disaster impacted persons and rescue headquarters.   Additionally, a directional antenna, mounting pole, and a smart tablet are packaged into a separate backpack. When they are attached onto the base unit, the combined system is able to track the location of disaster impacted persons.

Inventor: BONKOVSKY HERBERT L
IPC: A01N43/04
Filed: 2009-10-02
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the treatment of hepatitis C infection with a metalloporphyrin. In particular, the present invention is based on the discovery that the NS5A protein plays a key role in HCV RNA replication by participating in polyprotein cleavage, interferon response and cellular signaling pathways. It has been found that metalloporphyrins, such as zinc porphyrins, induce post-translational down-regulation of HCV NS5A protein in an ubquitin-proteasome degradation pathway.  That is, metal loporphyrins can be used to activate the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway of NS5A protein catabolism. As a result, metal loporphyrins can be used to significantly suppress HCV viral replication in HCV infected cells.

Abstract: A vector image drawing device has the following configuration. A contour generation unit (104), based on vector data, generates contour data that represents the starting pixels on a scan line in a drawing area where fill-in starts, and the ending pixels where fill-in ends. An outline buffer (106) stores the number of starting or ending pixels in the contour data for fill-in for each drawn pixel. An error judgment unit (2), when storing the contour data in the outline buffer (106), determines in which pixel there is overflow in the outline buffer of contour data. A pixel position transfer unit (3) adds the numerical value of the overflow portion of a pixel that the error judgment unit (2) determined to have overflow to the numerical value of contour data that corresponds to a pixel.
