Patent CA-2151008-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MODRAK JAMES P
IPC: E01C11/18
Filed: 1995-06-05
Abstract: The invention provides polyolefin staple fibers especially useful for reinforcing pavement.  The fibers have applied to their surface an amount of an antistatic finish sufficient to prevent the build-up of static electric charges when the staple fibers are fluidized or blown, and so diminish the resultant clumping of the blown fibers, while avoiding degradation of the nature of the fiber to adhere to paving compositions, and maintaining the adherence of the fibers to the pavement cement.

Patent CA-2165288-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRIDGES RUSSELL PEARCE
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1994-06-13
Abstract: Non-perforated tear lines for re-moval and evacuation of contents of dis-posable undergarments such as training pants. Non-perforated tear lines comprise a series of bond sites which are shaped, sized, spaced and arranged to provide a zone of weakness to permit severance of portions as well as elastic leg elas-tic disposed in the waistband, the body of the pant, and the elastic leg bands for complete removal. Bond sites are formed by displacing a portion of material such that a thickened outer edge defines a weakened area of reduced thickness. Thus, elastic in the waistband may be dis-posed continuously 360 degrees around the wearer's waist, and elastic in the leg bands may be disposed continuously 360 degrees around the wearer's legs. In ad-dition, improved pants having elasticized ear flaps in the body of the pants can be conveniently removed from the wearer. The shape, size, spacing and arrangement of the individual bond sites is determined for each material used in order to permit severance of the particular material while preventing premature removal. Because the tear lines of this invention are capa-ble of separating elastic, location of the tear lines is not limited to side seams, but may be placed on the front of the pants for convenience.

Patent CA-2172584-A1 (CA)
Title: Dispensing closure
Inventor: JULEMONT JEAN
IPC: B65D47/20
Filed: 1996-03-25
Abstract: Self-sealing membrane valves can be used with containers where storage between uses is in an upright orientation if the product in the container on the underside of the membrane valve is drained from the membrane valve. This will prevent product droplets from being expelled from the valve as it rapidly opens. In addition, it is useful to have a structure on the exterior of the membrane valve to control the rate of opening of the valve during the dispensing operation. The membrane valve is drained on the underside by means of a plurality of appendages that are adjacent the underside of the valve and by the use of a diaphragm adjacent the upper side of the valve to control the rate of opening of the valve.

Title: Two-dimensional sensor having photoconductive layer for measuring cell activity
Inventor: SUGIHARA HIROKAZU
IPC: G01R19/00
Filed: 1996-06-19
Abstract: A two-dimensional sensor includes a photoconductive layer whose conductivity increases at a light-irradiated spot, an insulating layer formed on the front surface of the photoconductive layer, an effect electrode formed on the back surface of the photoconductive layer, and a fence as a cell holder attached to the surface of the insulating layer for containing a cell, culture medium and a reference electrode.  The sensor is placed in an incubator and a bias voltage is applied between the effect and reference electrodes. When a laser beam irradiates a spot of the back surface of the sensor, a signal is obtained from the effect electrode.  This signal corresponds to a potential alteration due to the cell activity substantially at the laser-irradiated spot.  The signal is processed in a computer.  The beam spot size and location, corresponding to the size and the location of the measurement electrode, can be changed or adjusted easily by focusing or moving the laser beam.
