IPC: B42F13/26
Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: A ring binder mechanism for retaining loose-leaf pages comprises a housing supporting two hinge plates for pivoting motion to open and close ring members. Paired ring members of the mechanism attach to the hinge plates and move therewith between the open and closed positions. Free ends of the paired ring members each have a interlocking formation that is capable of securely joining together when the ring members are in the closed position. The interlocking formations hold the ring members against misalignment in all directions transverse to longitudinal centerlines of the ring members when the ring members are in the closed position. Some formations are additionally capable of positively engaging each other as the ring members come together to actively bias the ring members into accurate alignment.

Patent CA-2500751-A1 (CA)
Title: Buffy coat tube and float system and method
Inventor: WARDLAW STEPHEN
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2003-10-02
Abstract: A tube and float system for use in separation and axial expansion of the buf fy coat is provided. The system includes a transparent, or semi-transparent, flexible sample tube (130) and a rigid separator float (110) having a specif ic gravity intermediate that of red blood cells and plasma. The sample tube has an elongated sidewall (136) having a first cross-sectional inner diameter. T he float consists of a main body portion and one or more support members protruding from the main body portion to engage and support the sidewall of the sample tube. The main body portion and the support members of the float have a cross-sectional diameter less than that of the first cross-sectional inner diameter of the tube (138) when the sample tube is expanded, such as b y centrifugation. The main body portion of the float together with an axially aligned portion of the sidewall define an annular volume therebetween. The support members protruding from the main body portion of the float traverse said annular volume to produce one or more analysis areas. During centrifugation, the centrifugal force enlarges the diameter of the tube to permit density-based axial movement of the float in the tube. Thereafter, th e centrifugal force is reduced to cause the tube sidewall to return to its fir st diameter, thereby capturing the float and trapping the buffy coat constituen ts in the analysis area.

IPC: B44D3/38
Filed: 2004-03-23
Abstract: A line-marking device (100) includes a chalk line (200) that is held in an elongated frame (170). A worker can position and align the device, then snap the line (200) using a manually operated trigger (650) to leave a mark on a surface (530), such as a wall or floor. An adjustable level device (115) on the frame (170) can be rotated to dial a desired angle for the line. The adjustable level device (115) may be provided in an angle setting device independently of the line-marking device. A laser device (125) may be carried at the tip (120) of (or elsewhere on) the frame (170) to allow the chalk line to be aligned with a reference mark (145). Respective markings (176, 177) on edge regions of rails (171, 174) of the frame (170) may indicate an angular setting of a guide bar (500), or, a protractor (810, 810a) may indicate the angular setting.

Title: Handling method after updating of privacy profile of target user equipment
Inventor: GE ZHENGKAI
IPC: H04W4/20
Filed: 2004-10-09
Abstract: The present invention discloses a processing method after privacy information of a target user equipment is modified. A location service system authenticates a location information request after aquiring modification of privacy information of the target user equipment. If said location information request is authenticated, the location service system continues processing said location information request until the flow of processing the location information request is ended, and if not, the location service system cancels the operation of processing said location information request. After the location service system acquires modification of privacy information of the target user equipment, the location service system will re-authenticate the location information request based on the modified privacy information of the target user equipment, perform corresponding processing dependent on the result of the authentication for the location information request, and perform cancellation of processing the unauthenticated location information request, according to the method proposed by the present invention. Therefore, the processing is ended earlier for the unauthenticated location information request to save system resource.

Title: Method and apparatus of cryogenic cooling for high temperature superconductor devices
Inventor: XING YUAN
IPC: F25D/
Filed: 2004-06-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing cryogenic cooling to HTS devices (24), in particular those that are used in high-voltage electric power applications.
