A pair of manually-operated levers (J, 8, 107, 108) are connected together for opposite reciprocation and are drivingly connected to the working members (1, 2, 101, 102).
Patent CA-2593907-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARTH GEORGE H III
IPC: F28F9/013
Filed: 2007-07-18
Abstract: A structural framework for supporting the heat exchanger of a steam generator, the former being comprised of serpentine tubes having sloped segments to facilitate the drainage of water from the heat exchanger when the steam generator is shutdown. The structural framework includes paired groups of vertically and diagonally extending first support members contiguously straddling the sloped-tube segments. The paired first support members are rigidly connected by second support members which extend between adjacent sloped-tube segments. The structural framework preserves the spacing between the sloped-tube segments and prevents direct contact between adjoining tube surfaces, but is not attached to the straddled tube segments and, thus, provides a tube supporting fit that is loose enough to permit the tubes to move freely due to expansion and contraction at different rates from that of the structural framework.

Patent CA-2600225-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAYES DANIEL F
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2005-03-14
Abstract: A cancer test having prognostic utility in predicting time to disease progression, overall survival, and response to therapy in patients with MBC  based upon the presence and number of CTC~s. The Cell Spotter~ System is used to enumerate CTC~s in blood. The system immunomagnetically concentrates epithelial cells, fluorescently labels the cells and identifies and quantifies CTC~s. The absolute number of CTC~s detected in the peripheral blood tumor load is, in part, a factor in prediction of survival, time to progression, and response to therapy. The mean time to survival of patients depended upon a threshold number of (5) CTC'~ per 7.5 ml of blood. Detection of CTC~s in metastatic cancer represents a novel prognostic factor in patients with metastatic cancers, suggests a biological role for the presence of tumor cells in the blood, and indicates that the detection of CTC~s could be considered an appropriate surrogate marker for prospective therapeutic clinical trials.
