Title: Pollution control method and devices for cyclical internal combustion engines having a separate combustion chamber
Inventor: NEGRE GUY
IPC: F01B17/02
Filed: 1996-03-04
Abstract: A pollution control method and related devices for cyclical internal combustion engines having a separate combustion chamber (1), wherein the compression chamber, the combustion chamber (1) and the expansion chamber (16) consist of three separate and entirely self-contained portions. During low-power operation, e.g. in urban traffic, the fuel injector (6) is no longer controlled during filling of the combustion chamber, whereby the combustion chamber is filled with high-temperature pure compressed air at each cycle. A small amount of additional air from an outer tank (23) for storing highly pressurised air at room temperature is fed into the combustion chamber substantially after the intake of compressed air from the engine compressor, and heated as it contacts the hot compressed air already present in the combustion chamber (1), whereafter it expands and increases the starting pressure to enable effective work to be produced during expansion.

Patent CA-2228977-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROSENBERG ROBERT D
IPC: A61K47/34
Filed: 1998-02-03
Abstract: Antisense oligonucleotide gene therapy selective for the 5' region of PDGFR-.beta. subunit mRNA was used in attempt to prevent intimal thickening following rat carotid arterial injury. Sustained perivascular application of the antisense oligomers for 14 days reduced PDGFR-.beta. protein overexpression and prevented neointima formation by 80%. Specificity was verified by the absence of effects on the expression of a non-targeted gene PDGFR-.alpha.. These data demonstrated that antisense oligonucleotide sequences can effectively suppress a growth factor receptor, and the reduction of intimal hyperplasia after injury correlates with the extent to which these oligomers inhibited PDGFR-.beta. protein expression. Methods and materials useful for preventing restenosis are described and claimed.
Patent CA-2229977-A1 (CA)
Title: Snap ring installation tool
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN ARTHUR B
IPC: B25B27/20
Filed: 1998-02-18
Abstract: A tool is provided for ensuring that a snap ring fitted within an internally opening groove in a cylinder, such as a hydraulic cylinder, is properly seated within the groove. The tool includes a rim defining a radial shoulder and an axial projecting portion. The radial shoulder engages the radial surface of the snap ring to press the snap ring axially against an opposing radial shoulder within the cylinder to help flatten and align the snap ring while the axially projecting portion extends through the snap ring. A handle is mounted on the hub and engages inner ends of radially extending spokes, while a coil spring biases the handle outwardly from the hub to keep the spokes normally withdrawn. Upon pressing the handle axially against the bias of the coil spring, the spokes extend radially to engage the inner periphery of the snap ring to thereby shove the snap ring home within the groove. Upon pulling the handle, the spokes retract out of engagement with the snap ring and the tool is withdrawn from within the snap ring and hydraulic cylinder

Abstract: A pneumatic resiliency unit having a bellows with a bellows first section terminating in a bellows first section first end and a bellows first section second end, and a bellows second section terminating in a bellows second section first end and a bellows second section second end. A support surface engages the bellows first section first end and a backing plate is spaced apart from the support surface. An intermediate support platform is positioned a separation S from the backing plate and attaches to the bellows first section second end. and to the bellows second section first end. The bellows second section second end is engageable with the backing plate, and spaced apart therefrom when the support surface is load free. The separation S is preferably variable to change the response of the pneumatic resiliency unit to a load applied to the support surface. Further variation in the response is provided by altering the shape of the bellows or by restricting air flow between the bellows sections. The bellows can form a closed system or an open system.      Multiple pneumatic resiliency units may be combined to form an extended compliant pneumatic support surface.

Patent CA-2233358-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRAZDRUM HELMUT
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 1996-09-26
Abstract: The units (CTR0, CTR1) are under the influence of mutually independent clock pulses (SCLK, RXCK). In order to prevent the loss of microsynchronization when information is transferred from one clock system to another, and owing to different error situations as concerns the information received by the units, the information received is stored temporarily before being passed on for processing or the processing result information is stored temporarily before being emitted. If reception is error-free, the units are cross-synchronized.  If, owing to faulty reception, a synchronous signal fails in the case of one partner unit, this unit rejects the information received despite the fact that it is error-free.

Patent CA-2246679-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAN DER AUWERA CHRISTIAAN ELIS
IPC: H03D7/16
Filed: 1998-10-07
Abstract: A Hybrid Fiber-Coax [HFC] telecommunication system including several modulation devices (MCl-MCn) and a combiner device (CSN) coupled thereto. The modulation devices provide modulated telecommunication signals under the form of output currents that are applied to the combiner device that is further connected to a coaxial cable (COAX) for transmitting thereon these modulated signals in predetermined frequency channels according to the Frequency Division Multiple Access [FDMA] structure. The invention consists in operating the combiner device as a current-mode summing node instead as of a voltage-mode summing node. As a result, the implementation is relatively easy, because a current summing node may be just a single junction point, and its linearity is thus obviously high. Furthermore, drivers or power amplifiers are generally not required between the modulation devices and the combiner device because there is no power dissipated in this combiner device, thus no power lossto be compensated. Additionally, the integration volume of the HFC telecommunication system is reduced, as well as the cost for an external combiner. The invention is also applicable to quadrature-phase modulation systems.
Patent CA-2246684-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHWAIGER MEINHARD
IPC: B27G5/02
Filed: 1997-02-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing moulded members to produce plastic windows, comprising the following steps: extrusion and calibration of a plastic material to form a section (8); cutting the section (8) into pieces of a desired length and carrying out mitred cuts for arranging the end surfaces of the moulded member (30a, 30b) at a particular angle to the section axis. The method according to the invention is characterised in that there is cutting by a double saw which is moved at the speed of the section (8) emerging from the extrusion system, in the longitudinal direction of said profile (8). The double saw cuts the downstream end surface of a moulded member in one operation with the preceding end surface of the next moulded member (30b) taking into consideration the mitre angle in each case.

Patent CA-2254450-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOHNAKER EBERHARD
IPC: B27B17/00
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a portable handheld work apparatus such as a motor-driven chain saw having an internal combustion engine mounted in a housing for driving a work tool.  A cooling-air blower is mounted on one side of the housing.  The cooling-air blower is covered by a blower cover having air-intake openings.

Title: A promoter gene for a porcine complement inhibitor
Inventor: SHIGEHISA TAMOTSU
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1997-05-19
Abstract: The present invention provides the base sequence defined as Sequence No. 1, DNA comprising a part of the sequence, or DNA containing the sequence, and relates to a promoter gene of the porcine complement inhibitor.      In generating transgenic pigs transformed with human complement inhibitor and/or such thrombosis-inhibiting factors as thrombomudulin (collectively termed the complement inhibitor), DNA of the invention can effectively be used to express the complement inhibitor by integrating the gene into the upstream part of the human complement-inhibitor gene. Since hyperacute rejection, which occurs on transplanting a porcine organ or tissue to man, can be prevented, xenotransplantaion of the porcine organs and tissues to man will become possible. Therefore, the problem of the lack of donors for transplantation can be solved.
