Patent CA-2355099-A1 (CA)
Title: Pick-up vehicle with a swiveling device for loading and unloading purposes and swivelling device for a pick-up vehicle
Inventor: RINDERKNECHT FRANK MARKUS
IPC: B60P1/48
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a pick-up vehicle (1) fitted with a swiveling device with swivelling arms (40-43). The swiveling arms have an angle or curvature and the swiveling device is located at the same height or is only slightly higher than the height of the vehicle when in a rest position. The pick-up vehicle can thus be loaded easily using said swiveling device. The inventive pick-up vehicle can also be used as a conventional road vehicle without any loss in performance capability.

Title: Adjustable athermal package for optical fiber devices
Inventor: VO VAN ANDRE
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: An athermally packaged optical fiber device, such as a Bragg grating, is provided. The device includes a hollow structure, and a free and a threaded member projecting in the hollow structure from both ends. The optical fiber is mounted in tension inside the hollow structure through longitudinal fiber-receiving bores in both members, and has an anchor point affixed to each member with the grating therebetween. The anchor point of the threaded member is provided outside of the hollow structure, making the device more compact. The free and threaded members are rotatable together to adjust the resonant wavelength of the grating, and a nut may be provided to allow a fine-tuning. The hollow structure, free member and threaded member have a coefficient of thermal expansion selected so that they together compensate for the temperature dependency of the Bragg wavelength.

Title: Vehicle ac generator
Inventor: MURATA NAKATO
IPC: H02K11/04
Filed: 2001-11-05
Abstract: A vehicle AC generator includes a rotor, a stator having a stator core and a stator winding, a pair of front and rear frames and electric components including a rectifier unit and other electrical parts disposed rear of the rear frame. The stator winding is connected to the rectifier unit by one of means of welding, soldering and clamping, and the rear frame has a stay having a fixing surface disposed rear of the electric components. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a space for screwing a screw bolt to connect the stator winding and the rectifier unit. Because cooling air is discharged from a discharge window along the stay, heated air will not return to any of air intake window.

Title: Improved process for mozzarella cheese
Inventor: THAKAR HIREN H
IPC: A23C19/09
Filed: 2002-01-09
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved process of producing natural mozzarella cheese. The process starts with a liquid dairy substrate that is cultured and coagulated. The resulting curd is cut and salted. The resulting curd (i.e., base curd) may be frozen or refrigerated and stored until needed. Once needed, the stored base curd is ground and treated in a blender where it is partially standardized to form a "partially standardized base curd." The partially standardized base curd is then cooked in a cooker or cooker/stretcher (preferably in a lay-down cooker) where standardization is completed by the addition of a cultured or uncultured skim milk retentate. No emulsifying salts are used in the cooker/stretcher. The cheese mass is then rapidly cooled to produce the mozzarella cheese. The conventional brine cooling step normally used in mozzarella cheese production is not used in the present invention. In an especially preferred embodiment, starch is also added to the standardized, cooked; stretched mozzarella prior to the cooling step. Such starch is typically added at a level of up to about 10 percent of the finished product and, more preferably, at a level of about 0.1 to about 2 percent. The added starch serves to bind the moisture in the product and results in a firmer cheese which is easier to shred.
Patent CA-2371843-A1 (CA)
Title: Multiple tag analysis
Inventor: LIZARDI PAUL M
IPC: C12Q1/6804
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of detecting multiple analytes in a sample in a single  assay. The method is based on encoding target molecules with signals followe d by decoding of the encoded signal. This encoding/decoding uncouples the detection of a target molecule from the chemical and physical properties of the target molecule. In basic form, the disclosed method involves associatio n of one or more reporter molecules with one or more target samples, associati on of one or more decoding tags with the reporter molecules, and detection of t he decoding tags. The reporter molecules associate with target molecules in the  target sample(s). Generally, the reporter molecules correspond to one or mor e target molecules, and the decoding tags correspond to one or more reporter molecules. Thus, detection of particular decoding tags indicates the presenc e of the corresponding reporter molecules. In turn, the presence of particular  reporter molecules indicates the presence of the corresponding target molecules. The sensitivity of the disclosed method can also be enhanced by including a signal amplification step prior to detection. Medical applicatio ns of this method include the analysis of the phenotypic status or replicative status of cells (growth or quiescence) and the assessment of normal and neoplastic cells in histologic or cytologic specimens in normal and disease states. For example, a pathologist may use the method to link a phenotypic state with the protein profile of lesion believed to contain malignant or pr e- malignant cells.

Patent CA-2376354-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MIURA DAVID K
IPC: A61H15/00
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: The massager consists of an ergonomically curved handle that contains two urethane wheels arranged in a linear manner. The polymeric molded handle is shaped to fit one or two hands. The wheels are attached to the handle through linear axles that fit through the lower portion of the handle and move freely on lubricated bearings. As the wheels rotate, they move directly over the underlying connective tissue. The massager is used by holding the grip with either one or two hands and moving it in a linear direction, backwards and forwards over top of the clothing or directly on the surface of the skin. Because the wheels turn freely, there is no restricted movement or abrasive rubbing on the skin.

Title: Twisted wordline strapping arrangement
Inventor: KURJANOWICZ WLODEK
IPC: H01L21/8242
Filed: 2002-04-02
Abstract: A high density wordline strapping arrangement is obtained by routing three primary metal-2 wordline straps in the same space as four polysilicon wordlines, and routing the fourth wordline strap in a metal-4 layer over the primary metal-2 wordline straps. Stitches in metal-3 connect metal-2 primary wordline straps to metal-4 wordline straps.  Therefore, contact spacing and metal pitch limitations are relaxed to allow four metal wordline straps to occupy the same pitch as four polysilicon wordlines. The wordlines are twisted to keep them fully balanced and to minimise coupling between wordline straps and neighbouring power and signal lines. Hence, a smaller memory cell array can be formed according to the wordline packing arrangement of the present invention.
Patent CA-2380293-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOISTINEN PETER
IPC: C01C1/10
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for evaporating aqueous solutions containi ng ammonia, in which the evaporated vapor formed is recondensed as a liquid. Ammonia containing liquors to be treated by evaporation are i.a. leachate waters from landfills or effluents from agriculture or the chemical industry . With a pH of 6 or above, ammonia is evaporated along with water and forms an  inert gas layer, which impedes condensation on the evaporator surfaces. To solve this problem, acid (21) is added to the evaporated vapor (18, 20) to bind the ammonia contained in the vapor to ammonium salt. In a MVR evaporato r (15), where the vapor that has been compressed in a compressor (19) is recycled as heating vapor to the evaporator, acid may be introduced in the vapor flow so that the ammonium salts end up in the condensate (22) obtained . The same process takes place in a multi-stage evaporator, where acid is introduced in the vapor flow between successive heat exchangers. In an evaporating plant equipped with a scrubber, the ammonium salt which is forme d by reaction with acid sprayed into the scrubber can be separated from the vapor flow so as to obtain uncontaminated condensate from the vapor.
