Patent CA-2255014-A1 (CA)
Title: Progressing cavity pump
Inventor: MIRZA KAMRAN Z
IPC: F04C2/107
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: A progressing cavity pump (10) is provided in which the compressive fit between the rotor (18) and stator (20) is gradually reduced with the distance from the suction end (32) of the pump. This gradual decrease in compressive fit allows for increased slippage near the discharge end of the pump, resulting in better distribution of the internal differential pressure along the length of the pump. The differential pressure distribution in turn reduces heat buildup near the discharge end (34), increasing the life of the elastomeric stator or rotor.

Patent CA-2282420-A1 (CA)
Title: Position indicator for a motor drive
Inventor: NEUMEYER JOSEF
IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 1998-01-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a motor-drive position indicator for actuating a sequence shift, a change-over switch or a moving coil. To achieve this, a first circular scale is provided with symbols arranged thereon. Said symbols are allocated to each individual switching stage involved when changing from one motor-give working position to another. The first scale is swept by a first pointer which rotates at 360° each time switching occurs.      A second circular scale is also provided with symbols arranged thereon. Said symbols are allocated to each possible working position of the sequence shift or other.      The second scale is also swept by a pointer. The second pointer performs a rotational movement around an angle corresponding to the distance between two adjacent symbols on the second scale each time that switching occurs. Trailing pointers are arranged on both sides of the second pointer in such a way that one of them is pulled along according to the direction of rotation when the second pointer rotates. Both trailing pointers thus indicate the actual control range which is switched.

Patent CA-2287203-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAVID THOMAS A
IPC: F16F1/38
Filed: 1998-04-14
Abstract: A mount (20) with low stiffness in two directions oriented with one of the low stiffness directions vertically to provide isolation. Two elastomeric layers (38, 40) are bonded to an inner member's (32) two non-parallel, non-planar surfaces (42, 44) and to a pair of plates (34, 36). Plates and inner member have contoured, non-planar surfaces whose configuration increases an axial stiffness of the mount so that, for example, a truck cab's lateral motion can be minimized. The inner member's non-parallel, non-planar surfaces, preferably match the plate's non-parallel, non-planar configuration, such that the elastomer is formed into a v-shaped configuration, for example. The inner member, two elastomeric layers and two plates form a mount subassembly (30) that is preferably installed into a generally cylindrical housing (22). The housing and the outside faces of the plates preferably have a mating contour which provides an alignment feature. For example, the housing may have a pair of inward protrusions (50, 52) formed in the tubular housing that engage notches (46, 48) on two plates. The housing's inner dimension is less than the subassemblies maximum outer dimension thereby compressing the elastomeric layers. The preload enhances durability and the notches perform a locator function.

Patent CA-2289577-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAROQUE CHRISTIAN
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 1999-03-08
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for distributing a message in a network (R-V, X, Y) whereof the architecture varies according to said network routes which consists in sending a initialising message from a node whereat terminates a newly created or suppressed route. The initialising message is broadcast by upstream nodes (S) to downstream nodes (Y) in standard manner. Each downstream node sends an acknowledgement of said initialising message to the upstream node which has sent it said message. The acknowledgement differs (+, -) depending on whether the initialising message has been received downstream one first time from said upstream node, or has been previously received from another upstream node. Subsequently the message is solely routed by the fastest upstream node and the transmission of messages in the second fastest upstream node is blocked.
Patent CA-2292076-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRIFFIN C DAVID
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 1999-12-13
Abstract: A power supply includes a housing and an air moving device for moving cooling air along a flowpath extending through the housing. A heat sink extends in a longitudinal direction and is positioned within the flowpath so that an upstream section of the flowpath has a flow axis that defines an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction. Therefore, air flowing from the upstream section of the flowpath impinges upon and is deflected by the heat sink toward and along a downstream section of the flowpath that has a flow axis that extends approximately in the longitudinal direction. An electrical component to be cooled is positioned within the flowpath downstream from the heat sink. A second heat sink extends in the longitudinal direction and is laterally displaced from the first heat sink so that the flowpath extends between the first heat sink and the second heat sink. The upstream ends of the heat sinks define a staggered arrangement, which is characterized by the end of one of the heat sinks extending farther then the end of the other heat sink. That staggered arrangement allows for air flowing from the upstream section of the flowpath to impinge at an acute angle upon a substantial length of the first heat sink. The air moving device is positioned in a corner of the housing that is opposite from the staggered arrangement.
Patent CA-2293181-A1 (CA)
Title: Resilient electrical interconnects having non-uniform cross-section
Inventor: GOODWIN JONATHAN W
IPC: H01R11/01
Filed: 1999-12-24
Abstract: Resilient electrical interconnects are provided which have a non-uniform cross section which achieves an increased range of deflection and a predetermined relationship between compression force and deflection of the interconnect, and between resistance and deflection of the interconnect. A smaller cross sectional area decreases the spring rate, or compression force, of the interconnect during compression.      Increased range of deflection and reduced spring rate enables improved compensation for surface irregularities and facilitates mounting of integrated circuit or other devices having large arrays of interconnects. The non-uniform cross section is provided by a single or compound slope, or alternatively a nonlinear curve, from the end of smaller cross-section to the end of larger cross-section.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés pour l'immobilisation par covalence de biomolécules sur des vecteurs et des membranes, selon lesquels on utilise la présence d'un marqueur d'histidine, et les résidus d'acides aminés qui comprennent ce marqueur d'histidine sont directement impliqués dans la liaison de covalence. La présente invention concerne aussi plusieurs stratégies qui augmentent aussi la probabilité d'une immobilisation par covalence par l'intermédiaire de ces marqueurs d'histidine. Parmi ces stratégies, on peut citer l'amélioration de la présentation de ce marqueur, la sélection des conditions de réaction appropriées comme le pH, la température, la concentration du réactif et la cinétique, l'augmentation du contact entre ce marqueur et les groupes réactifs du vecteur ou de la membrane, par exemple, en utilisant l'acide iminodiacétique ou les anticorps anti-histidine ou en augmentant l'hydrophobie de la membrane, ou en protégeant le reste de la molécule contre la réaction par exemple, en augmentant l'hydrophobie de ce vecteur ou de cette membrane ou en ajoutant un substrat ou des substances agissant par compétition ou en bloquant autrement les groupes réactifs ou en sélectionnant les réactions chimiques qui présentent une forte sélectivité pour les résidus d'histidine. Un vecteur peut être aussi une autre biomolécule. La présente invention concerne aussi un procédé qui permette la réticulation par covalence entre des biomolécules identiques ou différentes. Lorsque ces biomolécules ont une tendance naturelle à agir les unes avec les autres pour former des homo- ou des hétérodimères, il est possible de mettre en oeuvre une stratégie consistant à augmenter le contact entre les groupes réactifs (deux marqueurs d'histidine ou un marqueur d'histidine et un autre groupe réactif). La présente invention concerne un procédé pour fournir un système universel et simultané pour la détection de biomolécules à l'aide de ce marqueur.
