Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090118460SOLUBLE AROMATIC RANDOM COPOLYIMIDE AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING SAME - A soluble aromatic random copolyimide and a process for preparing same are herein disclosed, wherein the copolyimide is prepared from (a) an aromatic diamine and two or more different aromatic dianhydrides or (b) an aromatic dianhydride and two or more different aromatic diamines; wherein at least one of the diamine or the dianhydride contains a sulfonyl group directly or indirectly linking the two amine moieties in said diamine or the two anhydride moieties in said dianhydride. The copolyimide is soluble at room temperature in polar organic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrollidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and dimethylformamide, and has a glass transition temperatures below its respective melting points. As such, the copolyimide is more easily solubilized and processed into working forms, while still retaining desirable characteristics such as heat resistance, and may be used in various applications for which aromatic polyimides are known to be useful.05-07-2009

20080235115System and method for hosting combined online and live auctions - A system for the hosting of a combined auction, with live bidders in physical presence at the auction site as well as online bidders being able to view the auction and bid over the Internet. Auction and bid processing are centralized on a central control system. A remote module is used at the actual physical site of the auction and provides site data to the central control system for handling and distribution to bidders. The technical requirements at the actual auction site are minimized by the centralization of the majority of auction processing, and high-speed network connectivity requirements between the auction site and the central processing system are minimized.09-25-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080274777Auger screen - A bulk loader including an air inlet, an air-particulates separating chamber in communication with the air inlet, an air outlet in communication with the air-particulates separating chamber, means for moving air and particulates into the air-particulates separating chamber, means for separating air from particulates positioned within the air-particulates separating chamber, means for removing air from the air-particulates separating chamber, an auger, the auger being in communication with the air-particulates separating chamber by way of an auger opening in the air-particulates separating chamber, and a screen positioned across a portion of the auger opening adapted to permit air to flow therethrough and adapted to prevent particulates from flowing therethrough.11-06-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090133369DUST MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A HARVESTER - A dust management device for a harvester, including ducting in secure engagement with the harvester and adapted to receive air, airborne harvest dust and other materials discharged from the harvester. The dust management device further includes a diffuser-separation chamber, in secure engagement with the harvester, in engagement with the ducting, and adapted to receive air, airborne harvest dust and other materials from the ducting. The diffuser-separation chamber redirects air and airborne harvest dust back into the harvester and discharges other material from the harvester.05-28-2009

Mark Francis, Toronto CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090184920Two element slider with guard sensor - A method for using a slider-based capacitive sensor to implement a user interface having discrete buttons. Button locations are designated on a slider-based capacitive sensor having at least two conductive traces such that a user input at any button location results in a capacitance change in the conductive traces. Locations of inputs are distinguishable by ratios between the capacitance changes of the conductive traces, which can be correlated to a particular button location. Ratio ranges corresponding to areas covered by each button are used to identify which button has received an input.07-23-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080252084Shipping Container Seal Monitoring Device, System and Method - A container seal device is provided that comprises a seal device for a shipping container, comprising a first unit that is affixed to a shipping container. A control system is contained in the first unit containing a control system. A second unit is provided that is configured to engage with an element of a door of a shipping container to which the first unit is affixed and to electrically connect with the control system in the first unit. The control system in the first unit is configured to detect a breach of the second unit indicative of access being made to the shipping container.10-16-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090118362CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS FOR INHIBITION OF PROTEIN TRANSLATION - The present invention relates to a anti-proliferative target for designing chemotherapeutic agents, which comprises a EIF4A protein having an amino acid sequence, as defined in claim 05-07-2009

Tammy Francis, Saskatoon CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090293145Acyl-coa-dependent diacylglycerol acyltransferas 1 (dgat1) gene from tropaeolum majus, protein encoded thereby and uses thereof - A diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1) gene from 11-26-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100125827DEVELOPING SOFTWARE CODE USING PARAMETERIZED ANNOTATIONS - The present invention provides the ability to use annotations to represent current user configuration concerning a particular “domain model,” which allows for round-trip support as well as choosing the specific implementation technology at a later point. The present invention provides a preview capability which allows users to dynamically expand the annotation to preview what will be generated based on the current configuration information. The present invention generates software code based on the user configuration input and packages the generated software code for deployment without allowing a user to edit the generated software code.05-20-2010
