Patent CA-2442242-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for calibrating an incremental count of movement
Inventor: FITZGIBBON JAMES J
IPC: G01D5/245
Filed: 2003-09-23
Abstract: An operator controller 10 controls a motor 12 via a motor controller (11). The motor (12), in turn, selectively controls movement of an object (such as a movable barrier) along a substantially predetermined path. An incremental movement sensor (13) monitors movement of the object by monitoring, in one embodiment, movement associated with operation of the motor (12). At the same time, a passpoint event generator (15) generates at least some passpoint events that are uniquely identifiable. When a given predetermined passpoint event is detected, the incremental movement sensor activity is potentially recalibrated.

Title: Float adapted to track an interface between two liquids of differing density
Inventor: WATCHEL BRIAN
IPC: G01F23/40
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: A float adapted to track an interface between two liquids of differing density, includes a hollow buoyant body having an interior cavity adapted to retain liquid. At least one upper access opening is provided in the body, which is adapted to permit filling of the interior cavity with liquid.

Title: Compositions and methods for treating cellular response to injury and other proliferating cell disorders regulated by hyaladherin and hyaluronans
Inventor: CRUZ TONY F
IPC: C07K14/705
Filed: 2000-10-05
Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating a tissu e disorder associated with a response-to-injury process or proliferating cells in a mammal. These tissue disorders are associated with a novel cellular phenotype designated as "transition cells" which are described herein. This cellular phenotype is characterized in having an activated erk kinase signaling activity, a stimulated AP-1 binding activity, and at least one characteristic selected from the group consisting of: (a) increased podosome formation, (b) increased flux of intracellular or extracellular hyaluronans or hyaladherins, (c) increased expression of a hyaladherin, (d) an inability to form focal adhesions, (e) increased metalloproteinase activity, and (f) increased expression of a hyaladherin. Example tissue disorders include fibrosis, inflammation, degeneration and invasive disorders such as occur in cancerous cells. The methods provided herein include administering to the mammal, an effective amount of a composition that alters the activity of transition molecules within a cell. Transition molecules are shown to be comprised of hyaladherins, hyaluronans and associated molecules that regulat e the transitional phenotype. A novel cell culture comprising transition cells is also provided, as well as compositions comprising particular peptides, polypeptides, and antibodies that affect the transitional phenotype.

Title: Fuel cell apparatus and power generation equipment
Inventor: TSUJI TADASHI
IPC: H04B1/7083
Filed: 2001-09-07
Abstract: A power generation unit (20) of a fuel cell device is cooled by a reaction g as heat exchanger (24) by using the fuel and air introduced for the operation o f the power generation unit (20). Therefore no air for cooling needs to be introduced separately, and only the compressed air necessary for the operati on is introduced. As a result, the power output with respect to the air volume is increased by reducing the power of the air force-feeding source for the fuel cell device. The power output/efficiency of the fuel cell device and the output/efficiency of the power generating facility are improved.

Inventor: LEA PETER
IPC: G01N37/00
Filed: 2004-07-20
Abstract: A method of determining an amount of analyte in a sample solution is provided.  The method involves the use of an assay device that has a substantially planar assay surface. The surface has a plurality of calibration dots a test dot printed thereon. The calibration dots contain pre-determined quantities of the analyte while the test dot includes a capture antibody for binding to the analyte. The analyte is mixed into a solution having a sample antibody for the analyte, where the antibody is labeled with a detectable marker. The sample solution is introduced into the loading portion of the assay device for delivery to said reading portion. The next step is to measure the intensity of detectable marker in the calibration dots. With the data obtained, one then prepares a calibration curve correlating the amount of analyte in said calibration dots to said intensity of detectable marker. The intensity of detectable marker in the test dot can be measures and the amount of anayte present in said test dot calculated by comparing the intensity of detectable marker to the amount of analyte corresponding to the intensity in said calibration curve.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the inductive transmission of electric power to a mobile consumer with a secondary inductivity that is mobile relative to a stationary primary inductivity and to which a rectifier and a switching regulator are connected downstream thereof to generate a first direct current of a defined value. In order to generate at least one additional direct current, the output (A, B) of the switching regulator is configured as a capacitive voltage divider (C21, C22) whose total voltage is the first direct voltage UL and at whose tap (E) the additional direct voltage UL2 is available. The tap (E) of the voltage divider (C21, C22) is linked with a leak-off (C) of the secondary inductivity (L11, L12) having the same division ratio via a diode (D2) whose anode is connected to the leak-off (C).  In this manner, a stable, low output voltage can be additionally made available without much effort for the conversion of which to a low voltage a direct current converter having a correspondingly low transmission ratio is sufficient.
