Patent CA-2455077-A1 (CA)
Title: Column protector
Inventor: ROSENBERG GARY J
IPC: B65D19/40
Filed: 2004-01-13
Abstract: A protector for an upright column of a product storage rack has a V-shaped body with flat side walls joined to a convex curved vertical apex section. Pairs of studs cooperate with keyhole slots in the column to releasably mount the protector on the column. A releasable latch mounted on the protector engages the column to prevent removal of the protector from the column. The latch can be moved out of engagement from the column to permit the protector to be removed from the column.

Patent CA-2458779-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMARANDACHE SANDU MARGARIT
IPC: G05F1/10
Filed: 2004-02-25
Abstract: A current driver capable of generating a controlled current in the form of a pulse- width modulation (PWM) signal suitable for controlling an electronic device such as a solenoid is disclosed. The current driver has a feedback loop incorporating a dual-slope integrator. During an integration phase, which has a duration of one or more PWM periods, the dual-slope integrator integrates a signal indicative of the current flowing through the device. During a de-integration phase, the time required for the integrated signal to discharge at a known rate is measured. The measured time and integration phase duration are used to determine average output current. Any error between the measured and desired average output current is corrected by way of a multiplicative corrective factor or an additive corrective factor. The integration and de-integration phases may occur during alternating PWM periods.

Title: Process for the gasification of heavy oil
Inventor: CHAN HENRY C
IPC: C01B3/38
Filed: 2002-08-06
Abstract: A process whereby a high viscosity hydrocarbonaceous material is fed to a gasifier for conversion to synthesis gas. The feedstock, steam oxygen, and recycled gasification system water are all fed into the gasifier through a four stream feed injector (2), which includes a central cylindrical conduct (4) and second (60, third (8) and outer (10) cylindrical conducts radically spaced from each other. This setup provides a center passage (12), and a fir st (14), a second (16), and an outer (18) annular coaxial concentric annular passage. The upstream ends of each conduit ave a flanged inlet nozzle (20) f or the introduction of material. The feedstock in this design is sandwiched between two oxygen streams so as to provide better conversion for the exceptionally heavy feed. The further stream down the central layout (12) of the feed injector (2) provides the fllow path for the recycled water.</SDOAB >
Patent CA-2466877-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PREMACK BRETT
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 2002-08-19
Abstract: The inventors have discovered that a CK.beta.8-1 truncation variant, CK.beta.8-1 (25-116), is a bifunctional ligand for two distinct GPCRs, chemokine receptor CCR1 and formyl peptide receptor like 1 (FPRL1). Hence, the inventors have discovered that, in addition to its functional activity on CCR1, CK.beta.8-1(25-116) is also a functional ligand for the GPCR receptor FPRL1 that is involved in inflammatory reactions and innate immunity by recruiting monocytes and neutrophils. In addition, the inventors have discovered an alternatively spliced exon of CK.beta.8-1, named SHAAGtide. SHAAGtide, along with its parent chemokine CK.beta.8-1(25-116), is fully functional on both monocytes and neutrophils that are known to express FPRL1.

Title: Catalysts for ammonia synthesis
Inventor: FORNI LUCIO
IPC: C01C1/04
Filed: 2002-10-18
Abstract: We claim catalysts for ammonia synthesis based on ruthenium, directly supported over graphite having BET specific surface area in excess of 10 m2/g, preferably in excess of 100 m2/g and more preferably in excess of 280 m2/g, said graphite being characterised by X-ray diffraction pattern containing the diffraction lines characteristic of the crystalline graphite only, with exclusion of relevant bands due to amorphous carbon, to which catalysts barium, caesium and potassium are added as promoters. The graphitic supports allow to avoid the known pre-treatments and post-treatments needed in the case of supports obtained by partial graphitisation of active carbons and during use they are affected negligibly by the methanation shown by the supports obtained from active carbons. Furthermore, the catalysts of the present invention are characterised by a very high activity, even with ruthenium loadings well below the known loading.

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, les cellules tumorales agressives humaines de différents tissus sécrètent de la nucléoside diphosphate kinase-B (NDPK-B) comme phosphoprotéine dans l'environnement extracellulaire. L'enzyme sécrétée possède une activité de transphosphorylation en l'absence d'un donneur de groupe phosphoryle, ce qui permet une production de taux élevés d'ATP extracellulaire jouant un rôle important dans l'angiogenèse nécessaire à la croissance de cellules cancéreuses et de métastases cancéreuses. La présente invention concerne une série de composés anticancéreux non nucléotidiques associés structurellement, tels que l'acide ellagique (EA), le 3-gallate d'épigallocatéchine (EGCG) et le gallate d'épicatéchine (ECG), inhibant l'activité enzymatique de la nucléoside diphosphate kinase-B sécrétée, ainsi que l'angiogenèse. Les données relatives à l'inhibition de l'activité enzymatique de la nucléoside diphosphate kinase-B peuvent être utilisées dans des modèles de prévision destinés à l'élaboration de nouveaux inhibiteurs de l'activité enzymatique de la nucléoside diphosphate kinase-B.
