Patent CA-2293141-C (CA)
Inventor: KELLEY BASIL T
IPC: A47B95/04
Filed: 1999-12-24
Granted: 2002-12-03
Abstract: A countertop having a laminate or veneer horizontal upper surface and a laminate or veneer vertical face, has a corner element with an arcuate surface that smoothly fairs into both the upper surface and the vertical face. The countertop is made by leaving the vertical edge of the deck unfinished and placing the vertical veneer strip on an edge piece which is then attached to the edge of the deck. The edge piece is made from a block having the vertical veneer strip attached to one of its sides. Diagonal cuts are made at the top and bottom of the face side of the block and rectangularly cross-sectioned strips, from which the corner elements will be formed, are glued to these cuts. The strips are then machined to form the smooth arcuate surfaces which will fair into the laminate surfaces. The back of the block is then machined to create the end piece which mates with the countertop deck.

Title: Method and device for radiotransmission
Inventor: TERGLANE HERMANN-JOSEF
IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 1997-06-24
Granted: 2007-03-20
Abstract: The invention proposes a method and an apparatus for the radio transmission of user data, arranged in data words of a defined length, in time-division multiplex frames having active time slots in which data are transmitted and inactive time slots in which no data are transmitted. The user data are stored temporarily in a memory at a first data rate, and are read out from the memory and converted into the time-division multiplex frames at a second, greater data rate. During the time period from the beginning of an active time slot to the beginning of the subsequent active time slot, n (n = a whole number >=  1) data words of the user data are thereby respectively stored. By means of the synchronization of the storing and the reading out of the user data, these data can be transmitted with the smallest possible delay in an arbitrarily selected time slot of the time-division multiplex frame.

Title: Detection et caracterisation des micro-organismes
Inventor: ANDERSON NORMAN G
IPC: G01N15/04
Filed: 1999-03-09
Granted: 2010-11-30
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de séparation par centrifugation bidimensionnelle de micro-organismes, en particulier d'agents infectieux, contenu dans un mélange sur la base de la vitesse de sédimentation et de la densité de la centrifugation isopycnique, afin de procéder à la sédimentation de ces micro-organismes à travers des zones de réactifs immobilisés auxquels ils résistent, puis à la détection de particules ainsi séparées par diffusion de lumière ou par fluorescence en utilisant des colorants spécifiques aux acides nucléiques, pour récupérer ensuite ces particules en bandes en très petits volumes en vue de leur caractérisation par spectrométrie de masse de sous unités de protéines virales et de particules virales intactes, et par détermination cytométrique du flux fluorescent, à la fois de la masse d'acides nucléiques et des masses de fragments produits par des enzymes de restriction. Ce procédé repose sur la découverte selon laquelle les micro-organismes individuels, tels que les espèces bactériennes et virales, sont physiquement homogènes entre elles, et se distinguent par leurs propriétés biophysiques des autres particules biologiques, et des autres particules non biologiques existants à l'état naturel. Par ailleurs, ce procédé est utile pour distinguer les infections, pour identifier les micro-organismes connus, et pour découvrir et caractériser les nouveaux micro-organismes. Ce procédé permet également une identification très rapide des micro-organismes et permet ainsi un choix rationnel de thérapie contre les micro-organismes ainsi identifiés. Enfin, cette invention concerne une application particulièrement utile dans les essais cliniques des nouveaux antibiotiques et antiviraux où il est essentiel d'identifier d'abord les sujets infectés par les agents infectieux ciblés.
