Patent CA-2047685-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LARNER JOSEPH
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 1990-03-08
Abstract: A method for purifying two distinct insulin mediators to substantial homogeneity, and relative purity values above 80%, comprises adsorption on first anion exchange resin and subsequently on a chelex cation exchange resin column. The chelex resin ion exchange column substantially increases the activity of the recovered mediator. Following purification, the already treated fraction is subjected to three successive thin layer chromatography purification steps, the fast giving, in the presence of ninhydrin stain, a characteristic salmon-color spot, which is indicative of the presence of the mediator. This process can also be used as a screening process; the absence of the salmon-colored spot being indicative of the diabetic state. Structure information on the insulin mediators obtained is given.

Title: Perforated plastic bag for packaging fruits or vegetables
Inventor: BELIVEAU DANIEL
IPC: B65D33/01
Filed: 1991-08-28
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE             A bag, for packaging fruits or vegetables, is made of opaque, flexible plastic sheet material. The rear wall of the bag is however provided with a tranversal  window  made  of  transparent,  flexible plastic sheet material, extending over the width of the bag and comprising a plurality of perforations distributed over its surface.  The transparent plastic sheet material is thicker than the opaque plastic sheet material;  it  requires  additional mechanical resistance due to the perforations.   A method and apparatus fabricate the plastic bag from two strips of opaque  plastic  sheet  material,  and  a  strip  of transparent plastic sheet material.   In accordance with this method, the three strips are placed side by side with the transparent strip in the center; the adjacent  borders  of  the  strips  are  heat  welded together to convert the three strips to a single band; this band is folded to form a two-layer band; and this two-layer band is tranversely cut at longitudinally spaced apart locations thereof with the two layers heat welded on both sides of each cut.

Title: Water-ski tow-rope handle-caddy
Inventor: PASKAL TOM
IPC: B63B21/56
Filed: 1992-03-31
Abstract: ABSTRACT     A water-ski tow-rope handle also serving as a rope-caddy for the winding and storage of tow-rope, comprising: a normal water-ski handle, and at about each end of the handle, extensions of a suitable size and shape for winding the rope. The improvement consists of creating a new function for the handle, so it is not only used for pulling water-skiers, but also as a support for conveniently winding and storing the tow-rope. The improvement is created by placing extensions of appropriate size and shape near each end of the handle, said extensions serving as rope-guides for the winding of the rope. The handle thereupon serves three functions; (1) as a normal water-skiing handle, (2) as a device for spacing and supporting the rope-winding extensions, and (3) as a handle for using the caddy while winding rope. The water-ski tow-rope handle in toto thereby develops it's additional function as a rope-caddy for the water-ski tow-rope.

In one embodiment of the clip, the clip comprises, proceeding along the rod from one end thereof to the other, a first portion (1) which is substantially straight, the said one end of the rod constituting a free end (lb) of the said first portion (1), a second portion (2) which is a reverse bend, a third portion (3), a fourth portion (4) which is another reverse bend, and a fifth portion (5), the construction of the clip being such that it can be placed in a position in which a longitudinal axis of the first portion (1) extends horizontally and the third and fifth portions (3, 5), when viewed from above, appear to lie on opposite sides of the said first portion (1), wherein the axial cross-section of more than a tenth of the length of the said first portion (1) of the clip is smaller in area than the axial cross-section of at least a region of the said second portion (2) of the clip.  Such clips may be made of less material as compared with some prior art clips intended for the same purpose, thereby being cheaper to make.
Patent CA-2069274-A1 (CA)
Title: Fluid production method and apparatus
Inventor: LATHAM PAUL M
IPC: F02C6/00
Filed: 1992-05-22
Abstract: ABSTRACT FLUID PRODUCTION METHOD AND APPARATUS   Iron ore, coal and oxygen are fed to a reactor 4 to produce iron and a fuel gas.  The fuel gas leaves the reactor 4 at a temperature of at least 200°C and is passed through a hot filtration apparatus 6.  The resulting hot, filtered gas then passes through a heat exchanger 8.  A heat exchange fluid, preferably a stream of nitrogen at above ambient pressure passes through the heat exchanger 8 countercurrently to the hot filtered as stream.  The heat exchange fluid is thereby heated.  The hot heat exchange fluid stream is then expanded with the performance of external work in an expansion turbine 10, for example it may be used in the generation of electrical power.  The hot, filtered, fuel gas may be sent for power recovery downstream of the heat exchanger 8 or may be separated into its constituent components.  If the heat exchange fluid is nitrogen it may be separated from air in the same plant 2 that is used to feed the reactor 4 with oxygen.

IPC: G10L15/28
Filed: 1992-05-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for resolving uncertainty in information provided to an information service. A database stores a list of one or more likely responses to an explicit or implicit request for information. Received information from a user in response to a request is compared to one or more of the likely responses in the list to identify such received information. Associated with each likely response is an a priori probability that the response will be provoked by the request. A priori probabilities may be based on, among other things, training with a user or a back-up procedure for resolving uncertainty. In comparing received information to a likely responses, a comparison score is generated. A comparisonscore is checked to determine whether it is within a range of acceptable comparison scores. If so, received information may be identified. If not, a back-up uncertainty resolution technique may be performed.

Abstract: ABSTRACT       A  data  icon  comprises  a  hybrid  of  the  advantages available  with  a  conventional  icon  and  a  conventional window.  The data icon has a minimized size and an enlarged size, both of which allow interactive entry of information. The enlarged data icon presents a format allowing the entry of  information  relating  to  an  event  similar  to  a conventional window.  When minimized, the enlarged data icon is positioned in a  selected  location depending upon the information  contained  therein.   The  minimized  data  icon displays at least a portion of the information entered into the   enlarged   data   icon.    The   data   icon   may   be multi-dimensional to graphically illustrate various factors. For example, if the data icon indicates a meeting, a first dimension (vertical length) may represent duration of the meeting, a second dimension (horizontal width) may represent importance of the meeting,  a third dimension  (depth) may represent the number of attendees,  and a fourth dimension may represent the subject of the meeting.
