Abstract: An arcuate double-layer pipe for a pipeline for fluidic transport of abrasive solids, includes an inner pipe portion made of wear-resistant material, and an outer pipe portion of weldable steel in surrounding relationship to the inner pipe portion. A pair of coupling collars made of weldable steel is placed on opposite ends of the inner pipe portion, with each coupling collar having a ring-shaped insert of wear-resistant material and a rim-like projection so that the inner pipe portion extends between the ring-shaped inserts in the coupling collars and is overlapped on the opposite ends by the rim-like projections of the coupling collars. The rim-like projections of the coupling collars engage interiorly into opposite ends of the outer pipe portion for centering the outer pipe portion, with the opposite ends of the outer pipe portion being welded to the coupling collars.

Patent CA-2403373-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JUNAID MOHAMMAD A
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 2001-03-08
Abstract: The present invention describes diagnostic and prognostic assays to detect in vascular and tissue samples the presence and activity of the lysosomal pepstatin-insensitive proteinase, CLN2p, which has been newly found to be associated with breast cancer and serves as a novel biomarker for breast cancer, including primary, non-primary, or metastatic breast tumors, neoplasms and carcinomas. The activity of CLN2p was discovered to be significantly elevated when measured in breast tissue samples from patients with primary breast carcinoma, compared with CLN2p levels in normal sample controls, thereby demonstrating an approximately two- to seventeen-fold higher CLN2p activity in breast tumors. These higher levels of CLN2p activity in breast tumors were positively correlated with several known breast cancer biomarkers, such as cathepsin D, estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor. The present invention thus provides CLN2p as new biomarker for use in the detection, diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer.

Patent CA-2427553-A1 (CA)
Title: Magnetic field sensing for tamper identification
Inventor: MARTIN BRENT
IPC: G01R11/24
Filed: 2003-05-02
Abstract: The present technology involves a method and apparatus for detecting and reporting magnetic fields in the proximity of a utility meter as an approach to determining tampering of such meter. The sensitivity level of the magnetic field sensors may be adjustable allowing either remote or local sensitivity adjustments to a magnetic field sensor to compensate for variations in the electromagnetic environments of different meter installation sites. Alternatively, the output of each magnetic field sensor may be connected to the input of an adjustable threshold circuit. When the output voltage of the magnetic field exceeds a predetermined threshold voltage, a magnetic event signal is generated.  Threshold adjustments to the adjustable threshold circuit may be performed locally at the meter site or remotely from a station. The output of each magnetic field sensor may be monitored by a locally or remotely programmable magnetic sensor output monitor. Such magnetic sensor output monitor generates a magnetic event signal when a predetermined number of magnetic sensors have been activated.

In the second channel of restoration 128, 138, a snapshot copy 126 of a selected da ta set 124 of the backup mass storage 122 is made and transported to the primar y system 110. If the corresponding data block in the primary mass storage 112 has a current data block, the data block is not written from the snapshot co py 130 to the primary mass storage 112. Otherwise, the data block is copied fro m the snapshot copy 130 to the primary mass storage.

Title: Apparatus and method for power dissipation reduction in a communication system
Inventor: AGAZZI OSCAR E
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1999-03-08
Abstract: A method for reducing power dissipation within a communications system having a plurality of adaptive filters with a plurality of taps, each tap switchable between an active and an inactive state and each having a coefficient. The method involves specifying an acceptable error for the system, and setting a tap threshold for each active tap. For each active tap, those taps having a coefficient with an absolute value less than the tap threshold set for the active tap are deactivated. A system error is computed and compared to the acceptable system error. If the computed system error is less than the acceptable system error, the tap threshold for each active tap is increased. The above process is repeated until the computed system error approaches the acceptable system error without exceeding the acceptable system error.

Title: Transparent glass or glass ceramic panel with a pleasing metallic appearence for products with heating zones
Inventor: HUBERT STEFAN
IPC: H05B3/74
Filed: 2003-07-15
Abstract: The pleasing metal appearance of glass/glass ceramic panels (1) is typically produced by a metal foil/plate (6) on the side of the plate facing away or remote from the observer. According to the state of the art these foils/plates are glued to the glass/glass ceramic panel by means of a transparent adhesive. Because of the different thermal expansion coefficients of the metal foil/plate (6) and the glass/glass ceramic panel (1) this leads to mechanical stress.  According to the invention the mechanical stress can be avoided when the metal foil/plate (6) is attached to the glass/glass ceramic panel in a force-locking manner without adhesive. In a preferred embodiment this attachment is made by a clamping joint, e.g. provided by springs. Also it is beneficial to provide a gap between the joined partners, which is filled by a heat conducting compensating mass (8), e.g. silicone oil.

Abstract: Implantable in vivo sensors used to monitor physical, chemical or electrical parameters within a body. The in vivo sensors are integral with an implantable medical device and are responsive to externally or internally applied energy.  Upon application of energy, the sensors undergo a phase change in at least part of the material of the device which is then detected external to the body by conventional techniques such as radiography, ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, radio frequency imaging or the like. The in vivo sensors of the present invention may be employed to provide volumetric measurements, flow rate measurements, pressure measurements, electrical measurements, biochemical measurements, temperature, measurements, or measure the degree and type of deposits within the lumen of an endoluminal implant, such as a stent or other type of endoluminal conduit. Thein vivo sensors may also be used therapeutically to modulate mechanical and/or physical properties of the endoluminal implant in response to the sensed or monitored parameter.
