Patent CA-2522221-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IDENO AKIRA
IPC: C12N9/90
Filed: 2004-04-16
Abstract: It is intended to provide an immunogen and a composition for immunological use by which a sufficient immune response can be induced even from an antigen protein seemingly unavailable to induce any effective immune responses for various reasons, and a process for producing an antibody using the same. An immunogen containing a fused protein in which the full-length or a part of a desired antigen protein and a folding factor or its subunit are bonded together via one or more peptide bonds. Owing to the function of the folding factor, the antigen protein contained in the fused protein can be obtained as a soluble protein having a correct stereostructure. It is also possible to prevent the antigen protein from quick degradation in the blood of an animal having been inoculated therewith. Compared with a single antigen protein, furthermore, this immunogen can induce an elevated immune reaction in an animal. Examples of the folding factor include chaperonine and PPIase.

Title: Adaptive fuel control for an internal combustion engine
Inventor: DOWELL JOHN P
IPC: F02D41/30
Filed: 2004-05-20
Abstract: An adaptive fuel limit function (52) for protecting an internal combustion engine. The adaptive fuel limit function is a learning function responsive to trends in an engine performance parameter such as compensated fuel consumption per unit of power produced (62). The engine performance parameter is processed through a low pass filter (64) to allow changes in a fuel limit signal (54) in response to gradual changes in the fuel demand, such as may be due to wear in the engine, while blocking changes in the fuel limit signal in response to sudden changes in the fuel demand, such as may be due to a cylinder failure.  The difference between the input and the output of the low pass filter may be processed to identify a failure level (88) for providing an alarm function distinct from the learning function.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement for the motor-compressor unit of a compressor, and a method of assembling a compressor, particularly a scroll compressor. A fixed scroll member is attached to the compressor housing by an overlap between an annular shoulder on the fixed scroll member and the upper end of the housing. A crankcase is attached to, and supported from, the fixed scroll member by a plurality of fasteners, and the crankcase rotatably supports a drive shaft and an orbiting scroll member. The drive shaft is fixed to a rotor disposed within a stator, and an end of the drive shaft opposite the crankcase is rotatably supported by an outboard bearing assembly. A plurality of mount brackets are secured to an interior surface of the housing, and a plurality of fasteners extend through the outboard bearing, the stator, and the mount brackets, and are threaded into the crankcase to rigidly secure the foregoing components together. The weight of the stator and the outboard bearing assembly is substantially supported by the fixed scroll member and crankcase via the fasteners, and the engagement of the fasteners with the stator and the mount brackets rotationally fixes the position of the stator to counter the rotational torque of the motor during operation of the compressor.

IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 1997-10-14
Abstract: A mobile communications system is provided for significantly reducing the time required to process a random access mobile-originated call. During call setup, a mobile station transmits a random access packet that includes a preamble and a plurality of fields. The information provided in these fields is used by the base station to facilitate a more efficient call setup and more quickly allocate channel resources. A system is also provided for detecting, identifying and receiving multiple random access requests.      Each mobile station transmits one of a plurality of different preamble symbol patterns in a random access request packet.      The base station receiver includes a plurality of accumulators, each of which is tuned to a different preamble symbol pattern. Consequently, the base station receiver can distinguish between simultaneous random access requests.      This preamble symbol arrangement can also be used in conjunction with power-ramping processes, such as those used in IS-95 and CODIT systems, to provide individual power control for mobile stations making multiple random access attempts.

Title: Oil lamp and methods of using the same
Inventor: KONKLE STEPHEN A JR
IPC: F21V37/00
Filed: 2006-02-16
Abstract: The present discussion generally describes a liquid fuel burning device such as an oil lamp having a reservoir for holding the liquid fuel and a flange substantially covering the liquid fuel holding area of the reservoir. The flange is sized and located to provide an opening between a perimeter of the flange and an inner surface of the reservoir. The opening permits a level of the liquid fuel to be monitored and/or checked during filling of the reservoir. Thus, the chance of having an overflow of liquid fuel or an under-filled reservoir is substantially reduced. The flange is configured with a downward slope to allow liquid fuel to drain toward the opening, if liquid fuel gets on the flange during filling of the device.
