Patent CA-2465354-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WAGNER ROBERT E JR
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-10-31
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de détection d'une séquence spécifique, d'une mutation et/ou d'un polymorphisme, y compris un polymorphisme d'un nucléotide simple (PNS), fondé sur l'utilisation de la protéine recombinase semblable à RecA et de l'extension d'amorce (PE) ou de la méthode OLA. Des sondes (filaments RecA) d'oligonucléotide d'ADN spécifique à revêtement de RecA sont utilisées dans la recherche d'homologie de l'ADN double brin. L'emplacement des séquences homologues entraînent la formation de structures à boucle D ou à double boucle D contenant des zones à double brin qui comprennent la sonde d'oligonucléotide et un brin de l'ADN cible. Dans le cas de procédés PE, des sondes sont choisies afin de terminer leur extrémité 3' adjacente au site de mutation ou PNS de manière qu'un seul nucléotide ou autre terminateur de l'amorce servira de diagnostic à la mutation ou PNS. Dans le cas des procédés OLA, l'ensemble des sondes d'oligonucléotide (partenaires de ligation) sont choisies en raison de leurs extrémités adjacentes qui se terminent au niveau du ou sont adjacentes au site de mutation ou PNS de telle manière que la ligation soit rendue possible seulement lorsque les deux extrémités sont correctement en paires de base. Une ligation réussie constitue le diagnostic de la séquence spécifique, de la mutation ou PNS. L'invention concerne aussi des compositions et des équipements utiles dans la mise en oeuvre des procédés susmentionnés.

Title: Method and apparatus for setting and maintaining reel-to-bedknife clearance
Inventor: FLENNIKEN JOHN M
IPC: A01D34/62
Filed: 2004-04-29
Abstract: A control system for a cutting reel unit includes a reel-to-bedknife clearance adjusting system. The reel-to-bedknife clearance adjusting system includes at least one actuator operatively connected between the reel and the bedknife, and a sound detector. A controller is signal-connected to the actuator and the sound detector and coordinates the reel-to-bedknife clearance adjustment. During adjustment, reel-to-bedknife clearance is reduced by the actuator until a contact sound between the reel blades and the bedknife is detected and signaled to the controller, which then reverses the actuator and increases the clearance by a pre-selected precise amount.

Inventor: GUPTA AMIT
IPC: B08B9/00
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: On-line and Off-line methods of simultaneously cleaning and disinfecting an industrial water system are described and claimed. The methods involve the addition to the water of the industrial water system of a Compound selected from the group consisting of the alkali salts of chlorite and chlorate and mixtures thereof; and an acid, followed by allowing the water in the industrial water system to circulate for several hours. The reaction of the alkali salts of chlorite and chlorate and acid produces chlorine dioxide in-situ in the water of the industrial water system. The chlorine dioxide kills microorganisms and the acid acts to remove deposits upon the water-contact surfaces of the equipment. An alternative method involves the use of a chelating agent and a biocide. Other possible cleaning and disinfection reagents may be added as needed including corrosion inhibitors, chelating agents, biocides, surfactants and reducing agents. These cleaning and disinfecting methods work in a variety of industrial water systems including cooling water and boiler water systems.

Title: Conceptualization of job candidate information
Inventor: CROW DANIEL NICHOLAS
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2004-10-07
Abstract: A variety of technologies are applied to conceptualization of job candidate information. For example, concepts can be extracted from a job candidate's resume via an ontology. Concepts can be arranged hierarchically within the ontology, and parent concepts can be extracted. Concepts relating to job skills, job title, management, and the like can be extracted. A set of concepts can be represented as a point in n-dimensional concept space. Thus, candidates and desired candidate criteria can be represented in the concept space. Those candidates closest to the desired candidate criteria in the concept space can be designated as matches for the desired candidate criteria.

Patent CA-2492731-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEONG WENG YEE
IPC: H01L31/107
Filed: 2003-07-03
Abstract: A photodetector circuit incorporates an avalanche photodiode structure having a contact layer (14) forming an ohmic contact over an annular region (18) with the annular guard ring (8). In the fabrication process, the starting substrate can either be the handle wafer of a p- silicon-on-insulator wafer, or a p-Si substrate with an insulating SiO2 layer (4). A window (6) is produced in the insulating layer (4) by conventional photolithographic and etching. A n+ guard ring (8) is created by diffusing donor impurities into the substrate, and a thinner insulating SiO2 layer (22) is thermally grown so as to cover the exposed surface of the substrate within the window (6). P-type dopant is then implanted through the thin oxide layer to increase the doping level near the surface of the substrate. Subsequently a second window (24) is made in the insulating layer (22), and the layer (12) is then epitaxially grown selectively on the area of the substrate exposed by the window (24) in the insulating layer (22). After the epitaxial layer (12) has been grown the remaining part of the insulating layer (22) is removed by wet oxide etch which exposes an annular portion (26) of the underlying guard ring (8). Subsequently a n+ silicon epi-poly layer (14) is deposited on the surface of the device, and forms an ohmic contact with the guard ring (8), and simultaneously forms the top contact of the photodiode.

Abstract: A bicycle frame design using plateframe structural elements for a high performance, full suspension bicycle having the ability to fold up in a package of compact size is provided. The main frame is formed by opposed plate frame elements (1, 2), patterned in the ergonomic dimensions and component arrangements therefrom used for contemporary mountain bikes. The patterned plate frame elements (1, 2) are cut from plate stock in a way that locates and mounts the operative elements in positions required for bike function. Such plate frame structure is of modular, lightweight, and weldless construction. A  mechanically simple, lightweight rear shock absorbing system (7, 8, 9) is incorporated. The design routes cables in an internal arrangement, separating them from rider or other attached components or accessories on the inboard side of the plateframe structure. Overall geometry and dimensions of this configuration are adjustable to provide a universal fit for riders of various sizes. The opposed plate frame elements can be separate plates structures, or can be formed by folding a single blank having therein both opposed plate frame elements.

Title: Session-return enabling stateful web applications
Inventor: BRENDLE RAINER
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-12-02
Abstract: Mechanisms for allowing allow multi-session capability and session-return enabling stateful web applications include providing a start URL of a requested portal page with an "External Session ID" (ESID). The ESID is an argument that is different between the two instances of the application (on the same page), and leads to different / independent sessions in the server.  When a user returns to the same page, the ESIDs are passed again with the individual application requests, and the server can then logically reconnect to the proper session and allow the user to continue. The ESID can be used to return to an application after the user has previously left to go to another application and then desires to come back, or even when the user closed the browser and restarts the application later.
