Patent CA-2172099-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KASEL CALVIN E
IPC: B65B13/18
Filed: 1996-03-19
Abstract: A strapping system in which edge protectors are disposed between a load and tensioned strapping applied about the load in a strapping station. Edge protector applicator assemblies located on opposing sides of the load position edge protectors adjacent a top and bottom surface edge portion of the load when the load is raised above a deck.  The edge protectors are folded over and retained on edges of the load upon application of the tensioned strapping about the load to protect the edges of the load from the tensioned strapping. The strapping system includes a movable frame with spaced support members disposed below the deck and aligned with spaces in the deck. The frame is raised and lowered so that the support members of the frame extend through the spaces of the deck to lift the load above the deck to allow positioning of the lower edge protectors adjacent to the load. The frame is guided as it is raised and lowered by rotatable shafts aligned substantially parallel with corresponding side portions of the frame. Each shaft includes a miter gear disposed on its end portions for engagement with a miter gear of an adjacent shaft to permit synchronized rotation of the shafts. A pinion gear rotatable with the shaft and engagable with a rack on an adjacent side portion of the frame guide the frame as it is raised and lowered.

Title: Compact, High Visibility Display Rack and Configuration
Inventor: NEZWEK JOSEPH F
IPC: A47F5/08
Filed: 1996-05-30
Abstract: A compact, high-visibility display rack and assembly system is disclosed. The innovative display rack includes a base, a pair of sides, and a mounting bracket which is connected to the base and the sides at an angle relative to the horizontal elongated plane of the base. Because the mounting bracket is at an angle relative to the base and the rest of the display rack, when the rack is mounted on a supporting surface, the display rack extends outward from the supporting surface at an acute angle, providing an angular view of the front of product packages contained therein. In addition, the top, most of the front, and a portion of a side of the display rack is open, allowing for easy access of the product packages contained therein. Furthermore, the sides of the display rack are built using wire-frame construction or transparent plastic to further enhance the visibility and the ease of access of the contents therein. All these factors -- angled mounting, open design, and high visibility design -- combine to create an innovative display rack and assembly system which provide easy consumer viewing and accessibility for the contents therein while providing compact mounting to maximize the use of the supporting surface area.

Filed: 1996-10-25
Abstract: An analyte and a reactant 3 that reacts with said analyte either directly or indirectly are allowed to react each other on the analytical areas A of a substrate 1 and signals originating from the reaction are detected. In at least a signal detection step, either a signal generation-related portion 4x or a detector is provided in a portion that is opposed to the substrate 1 and high and low areas are formed in either the substrate 1 or the opposed portion or both in such a manner that the distance from each analytical area A of the substrate to the opposed portion is shorter than the distance from each of the non-analytical areas B of the substrate to the opposed portion, whereby signals originating from the reaction in the analytical areas A will be detected at higher intensities than signals originating from the reaction in the non-analytical areas B. The analyte can be quantitatively or qualitatively analyzed on the analytical areas of the substrate in high precision with reduced effects from the non-analytical areas of the substrate. Simultaneous analysis of multiple samples or simultaneous analysis for multiple items can also be accomplished with a simple sensor configuration.

IPC: A61K31/337
Filed: 1996-11-08
Abstract: This invention provides for novel dose regimen of paclitaxel to treat Kaposi's sarcoma. Unlike current paclitaxel therapy protocols, the claimed dosages are lower yet surprisingly as effective in regression of KS tumors. In addition, the lower doses are accompanied with fewer incidents of undesired side effects. The effectiveness of low doses of paclitaxel as well as fewer and less debilitating side effects, makes this therapy protocol the first that can be used for long term and as maintenance therapy in the management of patients with Kaposi's sarcoma.

Patent CA-2200498-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAFWAT AMIN HASSAN AMIN
IPC: A61K8/19
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: The regular method to remove an odour in commercial products is to prepare a formulation that can work in either saponifying the organic base odour or dissolving it. In addition some additives to help disperse the solid odour carrier in the water, beside solving the water base odour in the water base. All of these commercial formulations work well with most odd odours but fails with skin absorbed compatible odours such as: garlic, onion, organic thinner, fish odours and even unventilated human odours. There for the search led them to add a stronger smell to cover the original odour. Also, using the fragrance fixing agent could react with the original scent to fix it and the problem is as follows: 1 - If the fragrance has a shorter life than the odour, the fixing agent will work with the original odd odour to make it last longer, 2 - If the fragrance has a longer life, this could defect the smell of the fragrance. If it is compatible with any of the mentioned odours and it usually is with one or two of them, it depends on the source of both fragrances and the original scent. The failure to eliminate the odour may be rejected by  people who are irritant to certain types of perfumes. People who need no trace of any scent after using this product such as hunters, fishermen, chefs, hairstylists, dentists, dog trainers, multitask workers and people who need to use a special type of perfume after. All these situations led me to establish a new criteria of search I call it the ODOUR ELIMINATOR This type of new formulation competes with  the skins ability to hold the odour by exchanging the molecular gases between the formulas final physical share and the surrounding environment to replace the odd odour with a regular unscented gas. This new formulation deals with liquids, dry materials and the mixture of scented materials. My new formulation is environmentally friendly and it has a natural base method that will eliminate odours and scents.
Patent CA-2201445-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SULLIVAN BRIAN T
IPC: H01S3/098
Filed: 1997-04-10
Abstract: A mode-locking device for a laser operating at a defined wavelength, has a substrate, transparent to the defined wavelength, with a front side for receiving incident radiation and a back side. An anti-reflection coating is formed on the front side to minimize reflection loss at the defined wavelength. A quantum well structure is arranged on the back side. A high reflectance structure is arranged behind the quantum well structure in such a way that an electric field peak in the incident radiation substantially coincides with said quantum well structure. This device offers a more reliable and less costly approach for the production of non-linear mirrors since the layers of the dielectric stack do not have to be formed by epitaxial deposition.

Abstract: In a vertical machining center, a spindle-drive sleeve (41) is axially immovable in the machine frame, but rotates about its longitudinal axis to rotate a spindle (19) mounted in the sleeve for rotation by the sleeve while axially slidable independent of the sleeve. A linear drive, non-rotating ball screw (61) connected to the upper end of the spindle is driven axially by a rotationally powered, axially anchored ball nut (82) to advance and retract the spindle in the sleeve. A drawbar coupling system (121, 123, 136) extends inside the spindle from the top to the bottom to connect any one of various toolholders in an index disk (21) which is rotatable for positioning toolholders sequentially in line with the spindle axis. A pneumatically actuated drawbar operatior shaft extends inside and coaxially with the ball screw from the top to the bottom.
