Patent CA-2463432-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIAO LUN-JUNG
IPC: F16K27/04
Filed: 2004-04-07
Abstract: A constant temperature valve used in a faucet has a sleeve, an actuator and a plurality of separate spring rings. A plurality of O-shaped rubber rings is distributed longitudinally on an outer peripheral of the sleeve and divides the outer peripheral of the sleeve into a plurality of sections. The actuator forms a plurality of collars on a peripheral thereof for fitting with sections of the sleeve. A plurality of grooves is defined in an outer peripheral of the collars of the actuator for retaining the spring rings. Each spring ring forms a gap for enhancing resiliency thereof. The spring rings shrink appropriately to facilitate the actuator slidable relative to the sleeve 1 when dirty or hair is filled between the actuator and the sleeve. Thus, the constant temperature valve accurately responds to temperature control requirement.      On the other hand, the spring rings and the grooves allow to lower manufacture precision requirement of the actuator and sleeve.

Title: Methods and means for producing proteins with predetermined post-translational modifications
Inventor: BOUT ABRAHAM
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 2002-10-29
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identifying, selecting and obtaining mammalian cells that are capable of producing proteinaceous molecules comprising predetermined post-translational modifications, wherein said post-translational modifications are brought about by the mammalian cell in which the proteinaceous molecule is expressed. Preferably, said predetermined post-translational modifications comprise glycosylation. The invention further provides methods for obtaining and producing proteinaceous molecules, using mammalian cells obtainable by a method of the present invention. Preferably said proteinaceous molecules comprise erythropoietin (EPO), since the effect of (recombinant) EPO depends heavily on the glycosylation pattern of the oligosaccharides present on the protein.  Mammalian cells that have been obtained on the basis of their ability to produce proteins and/or post-translational modifications that are indicative for a predetermined post-translational modification that is desired are also provided. Preferably, said mammalian cells have neural characteristics and properties such that significant amounts of recombinant proteins can be produced that harbor 'neural- or brain-type' properties.

Patent CA-2471765-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KITSUWA TOMIO
IPC: C23C2/26
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: L'invention concerne un équipement de placage de fil permettant de fabriquer de manière simple et stable, dans des conditions de productivité élevée, un matériau de fil plaqué. Ce matériau comporte une couche de placage uniforme présentant un rapport d'épaisseur non-uniforme de 2,0 ou inférieur. Ledit matériau est obtenu par refroidissement approprié de la zone de la couche de placage dans laquelle peut apparaître une épaisseur de paroi non-uniforme à cause d'une fluidité élevée à haute température, immédiatement après le placage, et par refroidissement de la zone de placage dans laquelle une épaisseur de paroi non-uniforme peut difficilement apparaître à cause d'une faible fluidité à basse température. Le matériau de fil constitué d'une surface de bain de placage à travers une partie de dessin de placage est refroidi au moins par un dispositif de refroidissement à air constitué d'une partie à air pressurisé, d'une partie de refroidissement latérale inférieure disposée sur le côté inférieur de la partie à air pressurisé, et d'une partie de refroidissement latérale supérieure disposée sur le côté supérieur de la partie à air pressurisé. Le matériau de fil traversant le dispositif de refroidissement à air est ensuite refroidi par l'air au cours de deux étapes. Ces étapes consistent à faire circuler un flux d'air de refroidissement principal dans la partie de refroidissement latérale supérieure, à partir d'un orifice de jet d'air de la partie à air pressurisé et à évacuer ledit flux par un orifice de sortie disposé au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure de la partie de refroidissement latérale supérieure; et à acheminer un flux d'air de refroidissement auxiliaire aspiré par le flux d'air de refroidissement principal dans la partie de refroidissement latérale inférieure, à partir d'un orifice d'entrée situé au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure de la partie de refroidissement latérale inférieure; puis à mélanger ledit flux auxiliaire au flux d'air de refroidissement principal.

Title: Sunglasses attached to eyeglasses using repelling magnetic force
Inventor: SPIEGEL H JAY
IPC: G02C9/00
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: Sunglasses are designed to be removably attached to existing eyeglasses using magnetic repelling force. The existing eyeglasses (10) may have lenses (12, 14) to which are attached side extensions (21, 23) to which are attached ear pieces (29, 31). On the inboard side of the lenses, a bridge (15) interconnects them. The sunglasses (40) have a bridge (45) to which is attached sunglass lense's (42, 44). The attachment means consists of a rearwardly facing arm (46, 47) on the sunglasses to which a magnet (49, 51) is affixed and magnets (26, 28) affixed on the eyeglasses in alignment with the magnets on the sunglasses. At each side of the eyeglasses, brackets (22, 24) are provided. The magnets are arranged, on each side of the eyeglasses and sunglasses, respectively, so that when the sunglasses are placed into adjacency with the eyeglasses, like poles of the adjacent magnets face one another to create a repelling force that forces the magnets on the sunglasses rearwardly away from the magnets on the eyeglass frames, and into a recess formed by the cross-section of the brackets. The repelling force between the magnet pairs retains the magnets carried by the sunglasses within the recesses in the L-shaped brackets to maintain the sunglasses mounted on the eyeglasses.

Abstract: A steerable lift axle/suspension system (10) for a heavy-duty vehicle such a s a semi-trailer or a straight truck, includes a pair of steering dampers (22) and a backup lock (23). The steering dampers (22) minimize shimmy of the steerable wheels during over-the-road operation of the vehicle, and straight en the wheels on such steerable axle/suspension systems having a lift feature (21) when the system is raised. The backup lock (23) secures the wheels in a straightened position when such liftable systems are raised and the vehicle is backing up, to minimize vehicle handling problems. The steering dampers (22) and backup lock (23) are mounted at a location off the axle tube (41) of the axle (14) and on the axle/suspension system beams (12), to eliminate stress on the axle (14) that would otherwise be caused by welded attachment of such components to the axle tube (41), thereby enabling use of a less robust, mor e lightweight axle tube (41).
