Abstract: Edges, hems, patches and seams for woven fabric that has been treated for water repellency, and methods for making the same, are shown and described. In one particular embodiment of the invention, for example, a lapped seam between two pieces of water repellent fabric has an outer material at least partially overlapping an inner material, and a laminate strip positioned between the overlapping portions of the materials. The outer and inner materials, which are both oriented in the same direction, have an exterior layer of woven fabric that has been treated with water repellent and/or stain repellent chemicals, and an inner layer comprising a polymer membrane, such as polyurethane. The laminate strip has a bottom portion in contact with the outer layer of the inner material. The bottom portion has a low melt point, high flow rate adhesive system of one or more layers that penetrates and surrounds the fibers in the woven fiber of the outer layer of the inner piece of material. The laminate strip also has a top layer in contact with the inner layer of the outer piece of material. The top layer of the laminate is a thin, elastic, highly abrasion resistant material with a strong bonding affinity for polyurethane. The layers of the laminate strip bond to the adjacent layers of the overlapped material to create a strong lap seam.

Title: Production of mutant strain of aspergillus fumigatus and method and assay for inhibiting siderophore biosynthesis
Inventor: WAN NGA CHUN ADRIAN
IPC: A61K31/7088
Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: This application relates to the production and characterization of a mutant strain of Aspergillus fumigates. The application also relates to a method for inhibiting siderophore biosynthesis in Aspergillus fumigates and an assay for identifying drug candidates or other agents having potential inhibitory activity. The method may comprise, for example, the step of inhibiting an enzyme catalyzing siderophore biosynthesis, such as L-ornithine N5-oxygenase. In one embodiment the siderophore is a hydroxamate siderophore, such as N'N"N"'-triacetylfusarinine C (TAF) or ferricrocin.      A method of preventing or treating fungal infections in a patient is also described comprising administering to the patient an agent suitable for inhibiting fungal secretion of siderophores. The method is particularly useful for immunocompromised patients susceptible to fungal infections caused by Aspergillus fumigates, such as pulmonary aspergillosis.
Patent CA-2472737-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NG EDDIE KAI HO
IPC: H04B10/293
Filed: 2003-01-10
Abstract: A method and system for multi-level power management in an optical network is provided that may also perform automatic initialization of the network. The power management provides three levels of control of an amplifier in the optical network. The first level of control maintains the gain of the amplifier operating in automatic gain control (AGC) mode at a target amplifier gain. The second level of control eliminates channel gain excursion by dynamically changing the amplifier target gain so as to provide that the gain for each channel is within a gain ripple of the amplifier. The third level of control sets the target gains of amplifiers according to fiber span losses.  The third level of control may also perform pre-emphasis of channel powers by changing the power of one or more channels passing through the amplifier so as to compensate for gain ripple of the amplifier. As a result, this multi-level control of the amplifiers in the network provides an increased level of optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), protection of network components, and stabilization of channel power in the network.

Inventor: KERSCHBAUMER HARALD
IPC: G01J3/46
Filed: 2004-10-01
Abstract: A tooth shade scan system is provided that identifies tooth shades for a patient's tooth. An electronic database of tooth shade information for a shade guide may be stored. The database may include shade information based on tooth regions (e.g., the incisal, central, and cervical). A system operator may be shown an image of a patient's tooth on display equipment such as a computer monitor. An application running on the system may display dividers that the operator can manipulate to divide the image of the patient's tooth into regions. The regions may correspond to regions for which specific tooth shade information is available in the database, Values representative of a limited number of color characteristics for a region as a whole may be determined from the image. Corresponding categories of color characteristics may exist in the database, which is then used to identify tooth shades by region for the patient's tooth.

Patent CA-2487008-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORAN STEPHEN M
IPC: E04G21/04
Filed: 2004-11-08
Abstract: A device indicates the level of concrete within the hopper of a concrete pump and prevents accidental overflow and spills. The concrete level indicator device includes an elongate post with an enlarged float fixed to the bottom end and a guide sleeve for allowing vertical telescoping movement of the post as the concrete level in this hopper changes.  A retaining collar attaches to a screen in the hopper o~ the pump and surrounds the guide sleeve for limiting swinging movement of the post and guide sleeve, thereby maintaining the device in a vertical position within the hopper with the float resting on the concrete, As concrete is filled into the hopper, the post rises through the guide sleeve until a visual indicator (e.g, a red band) on the top end of the post is visibly exposed alcove the guide sleeve, thereby alerting the operator to interrupt the discharge of concrete being filled in the hopper until the concrete level drops and the visible indicator on the post is no longer visible.
