Abstract: A medication cart a includes a housing mounted on four posts at corners of the housing with a generally horizontal counter top at the top of the housing and a plurality of drawers in the housing underneath the counter top having locations therein for containing medications and for containing data charts relating to medications to be dispensed to a number of patients. The housing is mounted on a base with a plurality of ground wheels for movement by an operator over the ground to different locations to service a series of patients with the medications. A  lifting mechanism for lifting the housing relative to the base is defined by four threaded rods each extending generally upwardly between the base and the. housing with a lower end of each rod attached to the base and an upper end extending into a respective post. A nut on each rod is connected to the housing such that rotation of the rods causes axial movement of the nut along the rod and lifting of the housing relative to the base. The rods are driven by a hand crank at the top of one rod and a chain and sprocket drive arrangement connecting between the rods at the base.

Patent CA-2546886-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORRIS MICHAEL F
IPC: C12N5/071
Filed: 2004-11-02
Abstract: A method is described for treating a specimen of semen containing sperm cells to increase the relative number of sperm cells of a desired sex type in a treated specimen to increase the potential for conceiving an offspring of the desired sex. A specimen of semen is treated after a predetermined time to increase the relative ability of a at least a portion of the semen to conceive an offspring of the desired sex. The treatment preferably comprises contacting the sperm cells with an agent that preferentially effects sperm cells of a selected sex type. In some preferred embodiments, the semen is separated into two components. A first component has a higher number of sperm of the desired sex type than sperm of a non desired sex type and a second component has a higher number of sperm of the non desired sex type relative to sperm of the desired sex type. In one embodiment, the separating step is performed after a predetermined percent of the sperm cells exhibit a punctate pattern, which is capable of determination by labeling the sperm cells with Koo antibody and determining the percent of cells labeled. In another embodiment, the separating step is performed after waiting for a time determined by locating a maximum in the curve obtained by plotting percent female cells determined by FISH against percent Koo positive cells, determining the time at which the maximum percent female cells occurs, and beginning the following step no earlier than about one hour before the time of the maximum percent female cells. In yet another embodiment, the separating step is performed after waiting for a period of time between about 2 hours and about 24 hours after collection of the ejaculate. Preferably, in the separating step, the sperm is contacted with a cell binding agent, permitting the sperm of the non desired sex type to preferentially bind to the cell binding agent, and the cell binding agent with preferentially bound sperm of the non desired sex type is separated from non bound sperm.

Title: Injection molding method and apparatus for continuous plastication
Inventor: PARIS ALEXANDRE EDOUARD RAOUL
IPC: B29C45/50
Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: In a reciprocating (RS) injection unit environment, as shown in Figure 1, a controller of the injection unit is arranged to continuously rotate the screw during both conventional plasticizing operation and shot injection. In this way the RS unit is more efficient, utilizing less energy and producing greater resin output. The injection unit includes a non-return valve adjacent a nozzle, which non-return valve is either configured to rotate with the screw to reduce wear or presented as a ball check style noon-return valve. In an injection molding environment, the rotating screw includes flights that allow granules of resin to melt and mix in spaces between adjacent flights, but the flights are arranged substantially to inhibit excessive displacement of resin around the flights.

Title: Television production technique
Inventor: CASACCIA EDWARD MARION
IPC: H04N5/222
Filed: 2005-01-20
Abstract: A television production system 300 affords simplification over the automation of a television program such as a news program by parameterizing State Memory Objects (S-MEMs), each defining one or more operations for execution by one or more production devices. The S-MEMs are typically parameterized in accordance with the scenes they generate. Thus, the S-MEMs can be categorized by style, that is to say, by the "look" or appearance of the associated scene. In this way, a director can more easily select among available S-MEMs to choose those that maintain a particular appearance for a succession of scenes.

IPC: C10L1/02
Filed: 2006-07-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the small scale and portable production of transesterified fatty acid alkyl esters for use as biodiesel or other applications. The invention allows for the economic production in small scale and portable equipment which transesterifies various glycerides including waste vegetable oil, animal fats, and/or virgin vegetable oil singly or in admixtures of various ratios. A primary vessel (1) which is fitted with immersion heaters or other heating means (5) contains glycerides which are heated to reaction temperature. A reservoir (2) which contains an alkaline solution, for example sodium or potassium hydroxide dissolved in an alcohol, particularly methanol, is connected to primary vessel (1) with a piping system and in-line pump (4) in a pipe loop which permits the mixture of the glycerides with the strong base and alcohol mixture.  Transparent piping, for example transparent tubing (14), is installed on the side of the primary vessel (1) to permit visual examination and act as a manometer. Once transesterification takes place, the bottom phase, which contains glycerol and other residues, is removed through transparent tubing fitted to a clean out pipe mounted at the bottom of the primary vessel (1). The resulting fatty acid alkyl esters are then purified by the addition of cleaning reagents, including magnesium silicate in one embodiment or a mild acid in another embodiment, in primary vessel (1).

Abstract: A method for separating a volume of a composite liquid into at least a first component and a second component is performed in a centrifuge (35, 36, 37, 38) cooperating with a separation bag (1) containing the volume of composite liquid. The separation bag is connected to at least a first component bag (2) and a second component bag (3). The separation bag (1) is spun so as to centrifuge the volume of composite liquid and cause the sedimentation of the at least first and second components. When the at least first and second components have sedimented, the first component is transferred at at least one first transfer flow rate into the first component bag (2). When the first component has been transferred into the first component bag, the second component is transferred into the second component bag (3) at at least one second transfer flow rate that is different from the at least one first transfer flow rate.
