Title: Authenticity verification of articles using a databases
Inventor: COWBURN RUSSEL P
IPC: G06V10/42
Filed: 2005-07-29
Abstract: A digital signature is obtained by digitising a set of data points obtained by scanning a coherent beam over a paper, cardboard or other article, and measuring the scatter. A thumbnail digital signature is also determined by digitising an amplitude spectrum of a Fourier transform of the set of data points. A database of digital signatures and their thumbnails can thus be built up. The authenticity of an article can later be verified by re-scanning the article to determine its digital signature and thumbnail, and then searching the database for a match. Searching is done on the basis of the Fourier transform thumbnail to improve search speed. Speed is improved, since, in a pseudo-~random bit sequence, any bit shift only affects the phase spectrum, and not the amplitude spectrum, of a Fourier transform represented in polar coordinates. The amplitude spectrum stored in the thumbnail can therefore be matched without any knowledge of the unknown bit shift caused by registry errors between the original scan and the re-scan.
Patent CA-2577859-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THORNING HENRIK
IPC: F16B2/12
Filed: 2005-09-07
Abstract: Two panels (50; 52), each has a base wall (54; 56) and at least one profiled element (58; 60) of a basic L-shaped configuration having a web and a head.  The method comprises positioning the panels in co-planar relationship so as to position the webs face to face, and providing an arresting fitting (10) having two co-operating parts (12; 14), each part having a top component (16; 28) including guiding elements (34; 36) for allowing the top components to slide relative to one another from an open position to an arresting position. Each of the parts (12; 14) further has a flange (22; 42) extending in an acute angle from the top component and being joined to the top component in a junction. The flanges (22; 42) are orientated towards one another. A pair of elements (18; 32) arrest the two parts (12; 14) in the arresting position in which the outer free ends of the flanges define a first spacing slightly smaller than the total thickness of the two webs and the flanges define a second spacing at the junctions corresponding to or being slightly smaller than the total width of the two heads of the profiled elements. The method further comprises arranging the arresting fitting straddling, the two profiled elements while in the open position, and sliding the top components of the two co-operating parts relative to one another for shifting the two parts from the open position to the arresting position.

Patent CA-2600222-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YAMAMOTO DAISUKE
IPC: C11D7/02
Filed: 2007-09-04
Abstract: The cleaning fluid, which is easily mass-produced, low priced, and safe and is also free from chemical substances, contains water from which polyvalent cations are removed and to which sodium ions are added. When the cleaning fluid is applied to an object to be cleaned, stain adhered onto the object can be removed by action of the water. The object washed with the cleaning fluid is free from remnant of chemical substances, as is often not the case when washed with a cleaning fluid using chemical substances such as a surfactant, and is therefore safe.  Furthermore, since water stain or scale hardly remains on the object washed, new stain is not easily attached. Accordingly, the cleaning fluid is particularly effective when it is used as a cleaning fluid for kitchen sinks, tableware, foods, washstands, bathrooms, toilets, vehicles and clothes.

Title: System and method for automated selection of t-cell epitopes
Inventor: FRIDMAN ARTHUR
IPC: G16B20/50
Filed: 2006-05-08
Abstract: Methodology for the automated selection and/or optimization of T-cell epitopes is disclosed. The invention provides a data processing system which utilizes sequence-based statistical pattern recognition to compute an epitope selection matrix based on the informational content of epitopes known to bind to a particular major histocompatibility class I allele. The resulting Bayes-corrected scoring matrix is used to predict the relative binding affinities of candidate T-cell epitopes derived from immunologically relevant antigens of self or foreign origin. One aspect of the invention describes an analytical method for identification of modifications in known or predicted T-cell epitopes, that confer upon the epitopes the ability to elicit stronger cellular immune response due to more efficient processing and/or presentation to T-cells. The disclosed epitope identification algorithm is applicable to the design of vaccines for infectious diseases, cancer and autoimmune diseases as well as for developing methods for the in vitro evaluation of cellular immunity.
