Patent CA-2335387-C (CA)
Inventor: NAGASHIMA KOJI
IPC: C12N15/09

Abstract: Method for analyzing a phyletic lineage of scallop, which comprises the steps of sequencing a mitochondrial DNA of the scallop to determine a nucleotide base sequence of the mitochondrial DNA, wherein the nucleotide base sequence includes a non-coding region containing a nucleotide base substitution locus which shows a sequence polymorphism indicative of a particular lineage of the scallop. Mitochondrial DNA of the scallop is amplified by PCR, using a suitable primer set designed on the basis of nucleotide base sequences conserved among known shellfish mitochondrial 16S rRNA and 12S  rRNA genes, followed by sequencing to determine a non-coding region therein. In such non-coding region, a nucleotide base substitution locus is located, whereby a particular lineage of the scallop is determined. Based on those steps, a Japanese scallop, Patinopecten yessoensis, is analyzed as to the nucleotide base sequence and lineage thereof.

Title: Self-tanning composition in sheeted substrate
Inventor: DICIANNA VALERIE DUMONT
IPC: A61K8/9789
Filed: 2001-02-26
Granted: 2010-08-03
Abstract: A plurality of sheet-like substrates infused by an aqueous self-tanning position is enclosed in a dispensing enclosure, from which they may be removed one at a time. The self-tanning composition adheres to each substrate while in the container, and transfers from the substrate when applied to the skin of a user. The aqueous self-tanning composition comprises 45% to 65% by weight of aqueous extract of Japanese green tea, 5% to 15% dihydroxyacetone, 5% to 25% ethylethoxydyglycol, 3% to 10% PPG-12-Buteth-16, 1% to 13% of a humectant, 0.05% to 0.5% of minerals, and other trace constituents such as an exfoliator, moisturizer, colorant, anti-oxidant, tanning accelerator, preservative, and sunscreen. The substrates are infused by being placed in a vacuum chamber in which they can be agitated and tumbled, and the ingredients are added in a specific order at specific temperatures, with tumbling and agitation following each step for a specific period of time.

Abstract: The viscous damper is formed with a body with a cylindrical wall presenting an edge with a circular tongue element thereon.      A cap with a corresponding circular groove element is placed thereon so that the tongue and groove elements align with each other. The resulting tongue and groove configuration is ultrasonically welded thereby forming a hermetic seal. This particularly results in a very precise damper height which is important for small or miniature dampers.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus for power transfer over a nonconductive gap between rotating and non-rotating members of downhole oilfield tools. The gap may contain a non-conductive fluid, such as drilling fluid or oil for operating hydraulic devices in the downhole tool. The downhole tool, in one embodiment, is a drilling assembly wherein a drive shaft is rotated by a downhole motor to rotate the drill bit attached to the bottom end of the drive shaft. A substantially non-rotating sleeve around the drive shaft includes a plurality of independently operated force application members used to exert the force required to maintain and/or alter the drilling direction. In the preferred system, one or more mechanically operated devices such as hydraulic units control the force application members. A transfer device transfers electrical power between the rotating and non-rotating members, and the electric power is converted directly to mechanical power. An electronic control circuit or unit associated with the rotating member controls the transfer of power between the rotating member and the non-rotating member.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un transporteur (10) de positionnement et d'alignement qui comprend une pluralité de rouleaux (50) coniques fixés sur deux supports (20, 30) latéraux. Ces rouleaux (50) coniques sont entraînés à une vitesse unique et leur diamètre est progressivement réduit à un diamètre minimum (54), formant ainsi une région (42) d'alignement. Ces rouleaux (50) coniques produisent une diminution de vitesse latérale en direction de la région (42) d'alignement du transporteur (10), ce qui provoque une séparation et une rotation des articles (A, B, C), et assure ainsi une séparation des articles individuels dans la région (42) d'alignement. Les rouleaux (50) coniques sont supportés par des supports latéraux de manière que l'axe central de chaque rouleau (50) est horizontal, ce qui donne une surface (40) de transport d'articles en pente descendante qui renforce le mouvement des articles (A, B, C) en direction de la région (42) d'alignement. Ce transporteur (10) de positionnement et d'alignement est entraîné à une vitesse supérieure à celle du transporteur (14) d'entrée. Ce dernier est situé immédiatement en amont du transporteur de positionnement et d'alignement, et écarté de ce dernier par un espace qui permet d'assurer une séparation adéquate des articles (A, B, C) qui se déplacent sur transporteur (10) de positionnement et d'alignement.
