Title: Means enabling the full length of a figure skate to be sharpened
Inventor: BROADBENT SIDNEY
IPC: A63C3/10
Filed: 2007-01-08
Abstract: The basis of this invention is the removal of the drag tooth component of the traditional toe-pick from figure skate eliminating it as an obstruction to sharpening the full length of the skating surface. From the very first sharpening the ideal rocker profile of a new blade is unavoidable degraded particularly the important frontal portion known as the NSZ. Performance suffers and the blade has to be abandoned long before its metallurgical life potential and at considerable expense. The invention provides attachable detachable toe-pick elements that precisely dock into the front of the skate or blade with a combined fastening and locking method that dismantles or re-install the toe-pick element in seconds. After a measured amount of blade attrition from sharpening a slightly smaller toe-pick element replaces the original and restores the NSZ to as new performance. Toe-pick elements are a life time investment transferring from blade to blade.
Patent CA-2573930-A1 (CA)
Title: Direct laser writing method for fabricating three-dimensional photonic crystals with inorganic material substrates
Inventor: OZIN GEOFFREY ALAN
IPC: G02B6/122
Filed: 2005-08-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing photonic crystals during which an inorganic photoresist is firstly provided that exhibits a phase change when irradiated with an energy greater than the electronic band gap of the photoresist. By irradiating the photoresist with a laser beam whose energy is less than the electronic band gap of the photoresist, whose intensity at the focal point, however, is high enough that non-linear effects occur there, a phase change nevertheless occurs in the photoresist. Afterwards, the irradiated photoresist is subjected to the action of an etching solution that preferably dissolves a phase of the photoresist and lastly, the developed photoresist is removed therefrom in the form of a photonic crystal. Inorganic photonic crystals produced according to the inventive method are suited for use in fully optical systems, circuits and components for optical telecommunications or computer systems.

Filed: 2005-11-08
Abstract: A supply passage 32, a discharge passage 33, an actuator passage 34, and a spool bore 36 are defined in a housing 31. The spool bore 36 accommodates a spool 35 and communicates with the supply passage 32, the discharge passage 33, and the actuator passage 34. Load pressure detection circuit sections 21a, 21b of load pressure detection circuit 21 are provided in correspondence with switch positions. Each of the load pressure detection circuit sections 21a, 21b detects load pressure when the actuator passage 34 is connected to the supply passage 32.

Title: Chimeric vectors
Inventor: GRIEGER JOSH
IPC: C12N15/63
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that parvovirus (including AAV) capsids can be engineered to incorporate small, selective regions from other parvoviruses that confer desirable properties. The inventors have discovered that in some cases as little as a single amino acid insertion or substitution from a first parvovirus (e.g., an AAV) into the capsid structure of another parvovirus (e.g., an AAV) to create a chimeric parvovirus is sufficient to confer one or more of the desirable properties of the first parvovirus to the resulting chimeric parvovirus and/or to confer a property that is not exhibited by the first parvovirus or is present to a lesser extent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fastening system that includes an auto-adhesive layer and a cover layer. The cover layer engages the auto-adhesive layer such that the auto-adhesive layer is exposed as the cover layer is stretched. In some embodiments, stretching the cover layer causes the cover layer to rupture (i.e., tear) so that the auto-adhesive layer may be exposed for subsequent bonding. The term "auto-adhesive" refers to self-adhesive properties of a polymeric material where an auto-adhesive is substantially non-adhesive with respect to many other materials. The present invention also relates to a method of joining a fastening system to an item. The method includes positioning the fastening system near the item. The method further includes exposing an auto-adhesive layer by stretching a cover layer that is engaged with the auto-adhesive layer and then engaging the auto-adhesive layer on the fastening system with an auto-adhesive layer on the item.
