Patent CA-2396905-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SANDERS MICHAEL J
IPC: C02F1/50
Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: Selon l'invention, un contrôle microbiologique dans des systèmes aqueux est effectué avec une quantité de 1,3-dibromo-5,5-diméthylhydantoin inférieure à la quantité de N,N'-bromochloro-5,5-diméthylhydantoin requise en vue d'effectuer le même degré de régulation microbiologique. Les procédés utilisée afin de lutter contreEscherichia coli et/ou Enterococcus faecium dans un milieu aqueux, ainsi que des biofilms tels que ceux formés par Pseudomonas aeruginosa sur des surfaces contactées par le milieu aqueux, consistent à introduire dans le milieu une quantité efficace sur le plan biocide de 1,3-dibromo-5,5-diméthylhydantoin. Un agent de régulation microbiologique à utiliser dans l'eau conformément au réglementation de l'U.S. Environmental Protection Agency est introduit dans des conteneurs d'un agent de régulation aqueux comprenant 1,3-dibromo-5,5-diméthylhydantoin, lesdits conteneurs étant pourvus d'une étiquette indiquant les niveaux de dosages conformes aux exigences promulguées par l'U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Le 1,3-dibromo-5,5-diméthylhydantoin est utilisé ou introduit soit en tant que produit présentant une granulométrie moyenne supérieure (par exemple, 175 microns ou plus) sous la forme d'un produit compact. Celui-ci peut être formé sans utiliser de liant dans lequel la granulométrie moyenne du 1,3-dibromo-5,5-diméthylhydantoin est d'environ 175 microns ou plus. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le produit compact peut être formé au moyen d'une cire hydrocarbonée à base de polyoléfine synthétique de taille de l'ordre du micron du 1,3-dibromo-5,5-diméthylhydantoin, pour autant que cette cire soit compatible avec le 1,3-dibromo-5,5-diméthylhydantoin. Dans ce cas, la granulométrie moyenne peut se situer dans la plage comprise entre 20 et 600 microns. De la même manière, on peut préparé le produit compact à partir de 1,3-dibromo-5,5-diméthylhydantoin doté d'une granulométrie moyenne d'au moins 175 microns en utilisant comme liant une quantité d'amide gras, saturé, généralement solide.

Inventor: TRIP IAN E
IPC: B60G9/02
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: A suspension system connects a wheel axle to a vehicle frame and includes a trailing arm connected at one end to the wheel axle. A pair of extension members are connected to the other end of the trailing arm and extend laterally in opposite directions along a pivot axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the arm. A pair of supports extend  along the pivot axis and are connected to the frame and rotatably connected to the extension  member to permit pivotal movement of the trailing aim with respect to the frame about the pivot axis.

IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: A casino gaming apparatus is disclosed which includes a controller programmed to generate an audio signal. The controller is operatively linked to an ultrasonic audio processor. The ultrasonic audio processor is programmed to convert the audio signal received from the controller into an ultrasonic signal. The ultrasonic audio processor is operatively linked to an ultrasonic emitter which emits the ultrasonic signal along a column of air in front of the gaming apparatus.  The ultrasonic signal is demodulated into audible sounds along the column by interaction of the ultrasonic signal with air to produce audible sound substantially confined within the column. The column intersects the position where the player stands or sits. Accordingly, sounds are generated by the gaming apparatus are confined to an area occupied by the player and provide little or no distractions for players using adjacent gaming apparatuses.

Patent CA-2423630-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAMDAD CYNTHIA C
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-10-03
Abstract: The invention involves methods, assays, and components for the detection and analysis of binding between biological or chemical species, and can specifically be used for drug discovery. In an example where drug discovery is carried out, different candidate drugs can be attached to different articles such as magnetic beads. The beads can be exposed to colloid particles carrying signaling entities, or other signaling entities, immobilized with respect to protein targets of the drug candidates. After incubation, all beads are drawn to separate surface locations magnetically. Beads are released from surface locations where it is determined that signaling entities do not exist, and are removed from the assay. Beads held at other surface locations then are released, re-distributed, and re-attracted to surface locations. This is repeated with appropriate wash steps, until individual drug candidates can be isolated and identified.
