Title: Dehydration/rehydration of marked liposomes on a test device
Inventor: DURST RICHARD ALLEN
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a test device for detecting or quantifying an analyte in a sample. This method involves contacting a membrane with a mixture including derivatized, marker-loaded liposomes, and substantially dehydrating the mixture on the membrane under vacuum pressure at a temperature of from about 4 ~C to about 80 ~C, wherein said mixture further includes one or more sugars in an amount sufficient to promote the stability of the liposomes during dehydration and rehydration. The present invention also relates to a test device and method for detecting or quantifying an analyte in a sample. The test device includes a membrane which includes an immobilized liposome zone, wherein the immobilized liposome zone has bound thereto dehydrated, derivatized, marker-loaded liposomes dehydrated under vacuum pressure at a temperature of from about 4 ~C to about 80 ~C from a mixture which includes one or more sugars in an amount sufficient to promote the stability of the liposomes during dehydration and rehydration.

Title: Amino acids from fish and soy proteins improve insulin sensitivity
Inventor: JACQUES HELENE
IPC: A61P3/08
Filed: 2000-06-12
Abstract: The present invention describes the use of fish protein (namely cod protein) and soy protein to improve the peripheral insulin resistance in a human or non-human animal. Fish and soy protein were administered to rats submitted to high-sucrose or high-fat/sucrose diets, which are animal models for diabetes. It was found that fish and soy protein efficiently control glucose utilization, and that fish protein is particularly effective in muscle tissue. This effect is not observed when rats are given casein. Fish and soy protein are therefore promising for controlling insulin-resistance, diabetes and complications resulting therefrom, such as obesity.

Patent CA-2380543-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WETEKAMP ROBERT L
IPC: F25D23/00
Filed: 2002-04-05
Abstract: A water filtering system for a refrigerator determines a need for a filter change by timing the period of actuation of at least one valve used to regulate the flow of filtered water to both a water dispenser and an ice maker. Based on a known flow rate, a volume of filtered water associated with the duration of valve actuation is calculated. A summing device determines an accumulated, filtered water volume. When the accumulated, filtered water volume reaches or exceeds a threshold value, an indicator is used to signal that the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filtering system of the invention is capable of being operated without a water filter in place, a switch assembly is incorporated to sense the presence of the water filter and the system only senses the valve actuation time when the filter is in place. In addition, provisions are made to reset the accumulated, filtered water volume upon replacement of the water filter.

Ce processus comprend un système de chaîne continue dans lequel un pot (9) est façonné dans une bande inférieure déformable d'une matière plastique et un couvercle (12) à orifice distributeur (14) est façonné dans une bande supérieure (4) de matière plastique. Le produit alimentaire est versé dans ce pot et les bandes sont rassemblées au niveau d'un couvercle aligné sur l'ouverture du pot. Ce couvercle est scellé au pot à une station de scellage et l'orifice pratiqué dans ce couvercle est recouvert et scellé avec une languette décollable ou avec une étiquette (16). Pour consommer ce produit, on retire la languette et on peut extruder ce produit en pressant sur le pot déformable pour le comprimer, forçant ainsi le produit par l'orifice pratiqué dans le couvercle. Pour faciliter cette opération, au moins une partie du couvercle a été conçue pour être suffisamment rigide de façon à offrir une surface support en direction de laquelle le pot puisse être comprimé. Dans un mode de réalisation, cette surface support peut être pourvue d'un insert rigide (34) placé dans l'emballage entre le produit alimentaire et le couvercle, et dans ce cas, le couvercle peut être façonné dans un matériau fragile.

Filed: 2002-05-07
Abstract: A method for bulk separation of single-walled tubular fullerenes (100) based on chirality is provided wherein a first step is the formation of a template (40) on a crystalline substrate (30). The template (40) has a plurality of openings (32) which are oriented to energetically favor adsorption of a respective plurality of single-walled fullerenes (100) having a tubular contour and a selected chirality. Next, the template (40) is exposed to a suspension (16) of single-walled tubular fullerenes (100) of random chiralities for adsorption of single-walled tubular fullerenes (100) of the selected chirality into the openings (32) of template (40). Then, the template (40) is removed from exposure to the suspension (16) and the adsorbed single-walled tubular fullerenes (100) of the selected chirality are removed from the template (40). The template (40) may then be reused to adsorb further tubular fullerenes (100) of the selected chirality from a suspension (16) of tubular fullerenes (100) of random chiralities.

Patent CA-2389653-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for leaching nickeliferous laterite ores
Inventor: GILLASPIE JAMES D
IPC: C22B3/04
Filed: 2000-10-25
Abstract: A process is provided for the leaching of both the "limonite" (Fe approx. >=  25 % and Mg approx. <= 6 %) and "saprolite" (Fe approx. <= 20 % and Mg approx.  >= 10 %) fractions of typical nickel and cobalt bearing laterite ore. The low magnesium fraction of the laterite ore is leached with sulfuric acid at high pressure and temperature to solubilize the metal values while precipitating most of the solubilized iron as hematite or other iron compounds and a portion of the dissolved aluminum as alunite or other aluminum compounds. After reducing the pressure of the leach slurry to approximately atmospheric pressure, the pregnant leach slurry or solution is contacted with the high magnesium fraction of the ore to solubilize most of the nickel contained in the high-magnesium ore fraction while dissolving only a small portion of the iron content of the high magnesium ore fraction. Further neutralization of the leach slurry in the presence of an alkali metal or ammonium ion will allow the precipitation of iron-bearing jarosite at ambient pressure. This process for incorporating the leaching of saprolite in the high pressure leaching process for limonite ores requires neither high temperature and pressure, nor special treatment of the saprolite ore fraction, nor the addition of special reagents, e.g. reducing reagents.
