Patent CA-2681949-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARRISON LESLIE MERVYN
IPC: F42B30/00
Filed: 2008-03-28
Abstract: A method of manufacturing ammunition (10) for firing from the barrel of a weapon comprises forming a mould (32) having an interior surface, placing a core (42) in the mould (32) to produce a casting void (43) and pouring a liquefied solidifiable material into the casting void (43). Upon solidification of the material, the core (42) is removed to produce a projectile body (12) having a closed end and an opposite end. The removal of the core (42) also creates the cavity (18) in the projectile body (12) that opens onto the opposite end. The projectile body (12) is removed from the mould (32) and a quantity of propellant (22) is deposited into the cavity (18) through the opposite end. A seal (26) which incorporates a primer is pressed into the opposite end. Circumferential flanges (30a) and (30b) are integrally moulded with the projectile body (12).

Title: Methods of producing homogeneous plastic-adherent aptamer-magnetic bead-fluorophore and other sandwich assays
Inventor: BRUNO JOHN G
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2009-02-18
Abstract: Methods are described for assembly of DNA aptamer-magnetic bead ('MB') conjugate plus aptamer-quantum dot ('QD') aptamer-fluorescent nanoparticle or other aptamer-fluorophore, aptamer-chemiluminescent reporter, aptamer-radioisotope or other aptamer-reporter conjugate sandwich assays that enable adherence to glass, polystyrene and other plastics. Adherence to glass or plastics enables detection of surface-concentrated partitioning of fluorescence versus background (bulk solution) fluorescence in one step (without a wash step) even when the external magnetic field for concentrating the assay is removed. This assay format enables rapid, one-step (homogeneous) assays for a variety of analytes without wash steps that do not sacrifice sensitivity.

Title: Foundation wall footing barrier
Inventor: JABLONKA MARCUS
IPC: E02D31/02
Filed: 2009-11-20
Abstract: In a foundation assembly, a moisture barrier is placed on a footing and a foundation wall is on the moisture barrier. The moisture barrier thus isolates the foundation wall from the footing. The footing defines a keyway. The moisture barrier comprises a waterproof layer, a bottom layer attached to bottom side of the waterproof layer, and a top layer attached to the top side of the waterproof layer. The waterproof layer blocks passage of water therethrough. The bottom layer is for attaching the moisture barrier to the footing, and comprises a material that attracts water and binds to cement. The moisture barrier comprises a keyway portion sufficiently flexible and configured to fit the keyway in the footing. When the keyway portion fits to the keyway on the footing, it defines a secondary keyway for receiving a key portion of the foundation wall.

Title: Process for treating pulp mill condensates using a hollow fiber contactor
Inventor: JEMAA NACEUR
IPC: C02F1/26
Filed: 2008-07-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the treatment of pulp mill condensates is described. A hollow fiber contactor, incorporating a hydrophobic membrane, was used to remove several undesirable compounds from pulp mill condensates. For example, TRS compounds and SO2 were efficiently stripped from kraft and sulphite mill evaporator condensates, respectively. Methanol was also removed from kraft mill condensates but at a lower efficiency than TRS.  Furthermore, other undesirable compounds found in condensates of pulp mills that contribute to the BOD and COD loading to effluent treatment systems were also removed. These contactors are cost effective since air, vacuum or a suitable solvent or scrubbing solution can be used as the stripping medium to drive off through the membrane several undesirable compounds from the feed solution. The undesirable compounds removed can thus be burned in the recovery boiler, lime kiln or a dedicated boiler.
