Patent CA-2123158-C (CA)
Inventor: WRIGHT ROBERT M
IPC: F16P3/02

Granted: 1998-08-11
Abstract: A moving slide has a pair of flexible curtains mounted to its front and rear surfaces, the curtains being attached at opposite ends to front and rear support posts mounted to a base.   The support posts have upper and lower pulleys.  A cable is connected to the front of the slide and runs in this fashion:  first horizontally across the top pulley, thence to the lower pulley, thence to the other support post, thence upwardly and finally around to the horizontal portion which connects to the rear of the slide.  The cable is tensioned to a predetermined load which remains constant throughout the slide travel as the front and rear horizontal portions of the cable move.  The flexible curtains are suspended from, but are not rigidly attached to, the cable.  Thus, as the curtains expand and contract, the moving horizontal portions of the tensioned cable ride smoothly through the curtains, maintaining curtain support.

The sleeve has a transverse deck (102, 402, 602) defining a discharge passage (120, 420, 620) for communicating with the body outlet passage as the discharge passage moves in an arc relative to the body. In one embodiment, a seal (419, 437) is provided between the sleeve deck and the body around the outlet passage and discharge passage. In a preferred embodiment, an actuator (160, 460, 660) is mounted on the sleeve for rotation with the sleeve. Engaging structures (51, 52, 204, 208; 351, 352, 504, 508; 551, 552, 704, 708) are defined by the body and the actuator for tilting the actuator between a closed position and an open position while the actuator is rotated with the sleeve. The actuator includes engaging portions (204, 208: 504, 508; 704, 708) for engagement with drive members (51, 52; 351, 352; 551, 552) projecting upwardly from the body through openings (110, 112. 410, 412; 610, 612) in the sleeve.  Engagement between the drive members and actuator is effected on opposite sides of the pivot axis of the actuator so as to effect tilting of the actuator between an open position and a closed position.

Title: Coin mechanism with magnetic coin discriminator
Inventor: SCHWARZLI JOSEF W
IPC: G07F5/02
Filed: 1995-08-23
Granted: 1999-07-13
Abstract: A coin mechanism for a bulk vendor or the like is provided with magnetic discriminating means, for selectively accepting coins having a magnetic component and rejecting coins or slugs which have no magnetic component. A magnet is lodged in the coin conveyor flush with the seating surface for a coin, and resilient urging means such as a spring projects above the seating surface. The attractive force of the magnet on a coin having a magnetic component is greater than the repelling force of the spring, so a coin having a magnetic component is retained in the coin carrier while a coin or slug having no magnetic component is unseated by the spring and ejected into a coin rejection chute.

Abstract: A food-safe composition for the pretreatment of a surface, which is liable to soiling by organic food deposits. Consisting of (1) a food-safe, inorganic thickening agent which is substantially insoluble in an alkaline aqueous composition and which is present in an amount sufficient so that, during application to the surface the composition is capable of forming a continuous coating adhered to all desired portions of the surface, is combined with (2) an alkaline, food-safe, water-soluble inorganic salt (3), a food-safe silicone polymer (4), optionally a food-safe mineral oil. The composition forms a transparent or translucent film after drying, preferably by heating, which remains continuous over all pardons of the surface, including areas which may already be soiled with food deposits. After the film accumulates additional food soils, it remains substantially transparent. The soiled film can be readily removed by contact with water or an aqueous solution.

Title: Anti-rewet deck for press rolls
Inventor: LUTHI OSCAR
IPC: B30B9/20
Filed: 1994-05-05
Granted: 2000-01-25
Abstract: An anti-rewet deck is provided for press rolls (3) used to increase consistency of fibrous pulp sluryy from approximately 4 percent up to about 30 to 50 percent. This is accomplished by biasing the location of the drainage holes (140) in the roll shell to the forward edge of the drainage compartments within the roll shell. To avoid the necessity for handing of the rolls, a mechanism is provided for accomplishing the purposes of minimizing rewet at practical production rates by providing baffle plates (175, 177) which effectively orient the draining pattern in the desired direction. Such baffles can be permanently or removably installed once the desired handing of the rolls is determined.

Granted: 2007-09-25
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an autocrine growth factor. In particular, it relates to the production, purification and uses of stem cell proliferation factor (SCPF). In various cell lines, the protein of the invention exists in two forms, a soluble form and a membrane bound form which is detectable on the surface of a small percentage of human bone marrow cells and stimulates the proliferation of these cells.

Granted: 2004-10-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to immunocomprising an antibody fragment which is covalently bound to a diagnostic or therapeutic principle through a carbohydrate moiety at about position 18 in the light chain variable region of the antibody fragment. The invention also relates to immunoconjugates comprising an antibody moiety that is an intact antibody containing a glycosylation site at about position 18 in the light chain variable domain which has been introduced into the antibody by mutating the nucleotide sequence encoding the light chain. The resultant immunoconjugates retain the immunoreactivity of the antibody fragment or intact antibody, and target the diagnostic or therapeutic principle to a target tissue where the diagnostic or therapeutic effect is realized.  Thus, the invention contemplates the use of such immunoconjugates for diagnosis and immunotherapy. The invention further relates to methods for preparing such immunoconjugates.

Abstract: Un radiotéléphone (10) simule le processus d'émission d'appels appliqué par des téléphones de réseaux téléphoniques terrestres. Une tonalité est générée (78) en réponse à un état de décrochage et disparaît lorsque le premier chiffre (54) est composé. Un processus de temporisation (84, 110) et un processus (100) d'analyse de numéros évaluent simultanément les chiffres composés afin de détecter la fin de la numérotation. Le processus (100) d'analyse de numéros peut identifier sept, dix et onze chiffres ainsi que des formats (64, 66, 52, 68) de numéros téléphoniques de longueur indéterminée. Le format à dix chiffres est reconnu en fonction de codes d'indicatifs régionaux connectés, programmés à distance (42). Pour la plupart des appels, le processus (100) d'analyse de numéros détecte instantanément le chiffre final (62) d'un numéro de téléphone. Dans quelques cas, le processus de temporisation (84, 110) détecte le chiffre final en déterminant une absence d'activité de numérotation pendant une durée prédéterminée. Lorsque le dernier chiffre (62) a été détecté, un message d'émission d'appels est transmis à un réseau cellulaire.
