Patent CA-2081861-A1 (CA)
Title: Space management system
Inventor: FAILING BRUCE F JR
IPC: G06Q50/28
Filed: 1992-10-30
Abstract: An improved system for space management in retail stores is described.  The space management system includes price display labels mounted on rails along the edges of shelves in a store.  A communications link between the computer and the labels permits the computer to address each label by a logical address and to determine the physical location of each label to within a resolution of typically four feet.  The system prepares price audit lists and adjacency audit lists that permit economical use of the time of store personnel during the audit.  The lists are generated in such a way that the items on a particular list are physically contiguous; thus once the correct general area has been located by the auditor little additional time need be spent locating the individual items.  In performing an audit of product facings, the user is able to use the display hardware, including the pushbutton on each label, as a data collection system for product facing information.  In product location mode, the user starts at the first label at one end of a shelf and presses the button on the first label.  The user moves to the second label, presses its button, moves to the third label, and the process is repeated for each label along the shelf, and for the rest of the shelves in the area being audited.  This permits the system to collect information as to the sequence of labels along a rail.

IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1991-06-14
Abstract: Peptoids are provided which are polymers comprised of monomer units wherein the monomer units include at least some substitute amino acids and may include conventional amino acids. The peptoids can be synthesized in large numbers so as to provide libraries of peptoids which can be screened in order to isolate peptoids of desired biological activity. Certain peptoids are designed to mimic as closely as possible the activity of known proteins. Other peptoids are designed so as to have greater or lesser activity than known proteins and may be designed so as to block known receptor sites and/or elicit a desired immunogenic response and thereby act as vaccines. A range of different amino acid substitutes are disclosed, as are their methods of synthesis and methods of using such amino acid substitutes in the synthesis of peptoids and peptoid libraries. Methods of screening the libraries in order to obtain desired peptoids of a particular biological activity are also disclosed. The peptoids are preferably linked to a pharmaceutically active drug forming a conjugate with increased binding affinity to a particular biological receptor site.

Title: Mold closing unit for use in an injection molding machine for synthetic material
Inventor: HEHL KARL
IPC: B29C45/40
Filed: 1993-04-15
Abstract: ABSTRACT                   MOLD CLOSING UNIT       A mold closing unit for use in an injection molding machine for processing plastic materials for removal of moldings is provided with a device for actuating at least two first identical parts of an injection mold, which are transferred alternately into the space between the mold carriers of the mold closing unit on a guideway that runs transversally with respect to the closing direction for creation of an injection mold. Since all parts of the injection mold together with their corresponding swivel arms constitute a single oscillating crank with multiple arms, which transfers the first parts of the injection mold substantially in the parting plane of the mold closing unit, and since the position of the oscillating crank in the mold stressing chamber is determined by the mold closure itself, at least one of the first part of an injection mold being located outside the injection mold is fixed in a precise position that can be repeated for each injection cycle, the moldings can be handed over to a removal device and shorter production times with a faster ejection of moldings is obtained.

Title: Method and wire group in a dryer section provided with a single-wire draw
Inventor: KUHASALO ANTTI
IPC: D21F5/04
Filed: 1993-06-01
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a wire group in a drying section provided with single-wire draw in a paper machine or paper finishing machine. The paper web (W) to be dried is passed on support of the drying wire (11) alternatingly over the heated cylinder faces (10') of the drying cylinders (10) and over the leading rolls (20) or equivalent. Then, on the drying cylinders (10), the paper web (W) is in direct contact against the heated cylinder face (10') and, on the leading rolls (20), the paper web (W) is placed on the outside face of the drying-wire loop (11) at the side of the outside curve. In the invention, the difference in speed (V1 - V2) of the paper web (W) which the paper web (W) would have during operation of the drying section on the turning sectors of the drying cylinders (10) and of the leading rolls (20) is reduced by means of dimensioning of the structure of the drying wire (11) in the direction of thickness (t) and by means of choice of materials. <IMAGE>

Title: Antiviral liponucleosides: treatment of hepatitis b
Inventor: HOSTETLER KARL Y
IPC: C07H19/167
Filed: 1992-06-03
Abstract: Compounds for treating hepatitis B infections. The compounds consist of nucleoside analogues having anti-hepatitis B activity which are linked, commonly through a 5' phosphate of the pentose residue, to one of a selected group of lipids. The lipophilic nature of these compounds provides an advantage over the use of the nucleoside analogue alone, making it possible to incorporate them into the lamellar structure of liposomes, either alone or in combination with similar lipid molecules. In the form of appropriately sized liposomes, these anti-hepatitis B agents are preferentially taken up by the liver cells which have been found to harbor the target virus.

Title: Ostomy bag with multi-stage filter
Inventor: FERGUSON KEITH
IPC: A61F5/441
Filed: 1994-01-10
Abstract: The ostomy bag includes a multi-stage filter system that provides contamination protection for a deodorizing filter in the system. The multi-stage filter system also includes a gas transmissible protection filter that is impassible to semi-liquid waste material. The protection filter is located in the ostomy bag to precede the deodorizing filter such that gaseous waste must pass through the protection filter before it passes through the deodorizing filter. In one embodiment of the invention wherein the ostomy bag has a single chamber, the protection filter is a two layer structure with different pore counts that overlay the deodorizing filter. In another embodiment of the invention wherein the ostomy bag has dual chambers, the protection filter, without overlaying the deodorizing filter, is disposed across the flow path of gaseous waste to the deodorizing filter such that any gaseous waste that reaches the deodorizing filter must flow through the protection filter. Thus semi-liquid waste material cannot contact the deodorizing filter since it cannot bypass the protection filter to reach the deodorizing filter.

Inventor: LADYJENSKY JACQUES
IPC: F21K2/06
Filed: 1994-03-03
Abstract: A tubular chemiluminescent device comprising inner and outer tubes containing liquid chemicals which generate chemiluminescent light upon intermixing. Due to the dimensional relationships of the tubes and the materials comprising the inner and outer tubes, light is generated when a lateral blow is delivered to the outer surface of the outer tube thereby deforming it without breakage. The blow causes breakage of a section of the wall of the inner tube thereby allowing the liquid chemicals contained therein to mix with the liquid chemicals contained in the outer tube thereby initiating the chemiluminescent light reaction.
