Patent CA-2588475-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LA CLAIR JAMES J
IPC: C07D333/62
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: A fluorescent dye-doped crystalline assay is employed for selection and detection of thiophilic heavy metal ions. While comparable in analytical performance to known solution based methodologies, the formation of crystalline analytes provides for signal amplification, and consequently, a powerful platform whose analysis is directly amenable to high-throughput video capture systems. In a microcapillary format, this assay is capable of screening hundreds of samples per day for the presence of subnanomolar concentrations of Hg2+ using a conventional fluorescence microscope.

Title: Bipolar plate for electrolyser comprising a single wall
Inventor: CARRETTIN LEONELLO
IPC: C25B9/19
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: It is described a bipolar plate consisting of a single wall and a perimetrical sealing frame obtained by folding and provided with a planar abutment surface for the frame-to-wall welding. The wall is further provided with projections on one face thereof preferably obtained by moulding, and with supports on the other face consisting of sheet strips housed in the recesses formed by the concave part of the projections. The projections substantially extend along the entire length of the bipolar plate. The projections and supports are connected to electrodes or current distributors. The projections, the supports, the single wall and the perimetrical frame are made of the same metal or alloy. The electrode or current distributor supported by the projections, the same projections and the supports are welded together by a single pass of arc-welding or preferably laser-welding. The electrode or current distributor connected to the support and the support themselves are mutually welded by a subsequent pass of arc-welding or preferably laser-welding. The welding between wall and perimetrical frame on the abutment surface of the frame is carried out by diode-laser technique, allowing to obtain a robust connection but without a complete melting of the sheet, thereby eliminating the risk of process fluid leakage to the external environment.

Patent CA-2594107-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIN CHING-HWA
IPC: E06B7/084
Filed: 2007-07-18
Abstract: A louver blade positioning device of a motorized shutter assembly includes an indented positioning portion or a protruded portion formed upon a driving shaft and a resilient member coming into contact with the driving shaft and the indented positioning portion or the protruded portion in a radically movable manner at a fixed angle. When the louver blades are rotated to approach a specific angle, the resilient member moves into the indented positioning portion or the protruded portion. Through the resilient force exerted by the resilient member on the indented positioning portion or the protruded portion, the driving shaft rotates to approach the specific angle, such that the louver blades become positioned at the specific angle when being rotated to approach the specific angle, thereby becoming free from the angular clearance inherent among transmission components of the motorized shutter assembly.

Abstract: An amperometric membrane sensor that utilizes redox-carriers to transfer the redox potential of an oxidizing or reducing species to an electrode. The sensor consists of a membrane containing a first redox carrier, and a second redox carrier in the internal electrolyte of a membrane amperometric sensor.  One implementation of this sensor utilizes a quinone carrier in a liquid membrane, and a vanadate carrier in the electrolyte to produce a sensor that responds to chlorine and chloroamine containing aqueous solutions. This strategy for the construction of an amperometric sensor allows the detection and quantification of redox-active membrane impermeant species.

Title: Methods of islet isolation and transplantation
Inventor: LAKEY JONATHAN
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2006-03-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for improving the viability and recovery of islets that are separated from a donor organ for subsequent transplantation. In a preferred embodiment, the islets are separated from a donor pancreas and transplanted into the liver of a diabetic patient. One or more emulsified perfluorocarbons (ePFCs) may be infused into the donor pancreas prior to islet isolation and transplantation. The ePFCs may enhance the oxygenation of islets, thereby enhancing their viability and health so they may withstand a vigorous isolation procedure such as the Edmonton Protocol. The present invention not only preserves the donor organ using ePFC, but also rescues islets and donor organs that would otherwise be damaged or destroyed during isolation and transplantation procedures. The separated islets may be injected into the portal vein of a liver where they will assist in producing insulin and regulating blood glucose levels.

Abstract: An adjustment mechanism for setting the position of a singulator in a seed meter. The singulator comprises an arm pivotally mounted about a pivot adjacent a seed disk. A shaft with an eccentric connection to a radially outward portion of the arm has a lever pivotally connected on it. The lever has a cam mechanism to displace an actuating sleeve into a resilient sleeve to lock the shaft in a given position when the lever is extending in the direction of the axis of rotation of the shaft. When the lever is moved to a right angle orientation the shaft is free to pivot and thus set the position of the arm.
