Title: Package Comprising Containers in Unitized Upper and Lower Tiers
Inventor: MARCO LESLIE S
IPC: B65D71/24
Filed: 1995-04-20
Abstract: In a novel, unitized package having an upper tier and a lower tier,  each tier comprises  substantially identical containers, such as beverage cans of a type having a chime at an upper end,  in a substantially rectangular array and a carrier made from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material,  such as low density polyethylene.  A covering sheet and a dividing sheet are employed, each being made from a paperboard material. The covering sheet is folded so as to form a cover panel, which covers the upper ends of the containers of the upper  tier,  and  two  lateral  panels,  which  extend downwardly from the cover panel,  along and below the containers of the upper tier, and along the containers of the lower tier.  The cover panel of the covering sheet has  slots  receiving  portions  of  the  chimes  of  the containers of the upper tier.   The dividing sheet is folded so as to form a divider panel, which covers the upper ends of the containers of the lower tier, and two lateral  flaps,  which  extend  downwardly  between  the lateral panels of the covering sheet and the containers of the lower tier.   The divider panel of the dividing sheet may have slots like those of the cover panel of the covering sheet.  The lateral panels of the covering sheet are affixed adhesively to the carriers of the respective tiers and to the lateral flaps of the dividing sheet.

Patent CA-2151321-A1 (CA)
Title: Separating device
Inventor: PRINSSEN ALPHONS ARNOLDUS JOHA
IPC: B01D33/04
Filed: 1995-06-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating liquids and solids. An endless filter belt is used, beneath which a suction box is placed which can generate underpressure relative to the ambient pressure. The suction box is bounded on at least one of the sides by a stationary underpressure box, wherein the suction box is provided with connecting means co-acting with the underpressure box. This enables embodying of the connection between the suction box and this underpressure box without for example rubber connecting hoses.

IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1994-03-14
Abstract: The presence of fecal occult blood in a stool sample is detected by mixing a liquid stool sample with an acidic liquid, such as a phosphate/citrate buffer, to precipitate  hematin from the solution. The precipitated  hematin is separated and the presence of absence of hemoglobin is determined by exposing the solution to a peroxidase diagnostic assay. A positive response indicates the presence of blood originating in the lower gastrointestinal tract, a leading indicator of lower GI cancer.
Patent CA-2160009-A1 (CA)

IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1994-04-22
Abstract: A particle separator is provided for collection and manipulation of target particles, e.g., target cells, in a closed sterile field condition. In one embodiment, closed sterile field conditions are maintained from separation through concentration and/or cryo treatment steps and/or transfusion.  Preservations of closed sterile field conditions are accommodated by using the same integrally coupled vessel for collection and concentration and transfer via integrally coupled conduits to a vessel for cryopreservation and/or transfusion. In one embodiment, a degree of cell concentration can be achieved, while maintaining closed field conditions, by using a hollow fiber device, preferably in-line between the column and the collection used. In another embodiment, a hollow fiber device is used in place of the column to achieve cell washing. In one embodiment, a plurality of valves are responsive to a data processor for controlling the path of fluid flow through the particle separator. A plurality of sensors are provided for providing sensor signals indicative of fluid flowing through the cell separator. A peristaltic pump is responsive to the microprocessor assembly for controlling the speed and direction of fluid flow through the system. A stir plate assembly is responsive to a signal from the data processor for controllably agitating the contents of the cell separator.
Patent CA-2161575-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOURMEYSTER IVAN
IPC: H03H21/00
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: The method involves applying noisy input speech signals (S(t)) to a sampler (1a). The signal is divided, with part of the signal passed to a noisy signal processor (100). The processor extracts noisy energy signals (10) and passes them to an S/N ratio estimator (11). The signal is then passed to a gain calculation circuit (12) before input to a circuit determining the filter function coefficient. The output C(nT) from the filter function circuit is applied to a FIR filter (14) in the second channel.

Title: Spacer for dual wheel assembly
Inventor: BISAILLON GERARD J
IPC: B60B11/00
Filed: 1996-03-29
Abstract: Spacers are used to align and separate the inner and outer rims of dual wheels used on large trucks.  Existing spacer devices require a specially constructed wheel hub for receiving a unique spacer.  The present invention provides a universal spacer, which includes a generally planar body with opposed fingers at one end and a foot at the other end thereof.  The fingers are simply hooked onto the rim gutter flange of one rim of any dual wheel system, and the spacer is rotated into position against the outer end of a spoke.  The specific structure of the spoke is of no consequence, i.e. no special wheel structure is required for the spacer of this invention.

Title: Multiple bit multiplier
Inventor: MULLIN RONALD C
IPC: G06F7/72
Filed: 1996-04-01
Abstract: A finite field multiplier in GF2mn is formed from a pair of m celled shift registers and an m celled accumulating cell. Logical connections are established to generate grouped terms in respective cells of the accumulating cell upon retention of the vector of the subfield elements in each shift register. Each cell contains a subfield element in the form of an n-tuple and the logical connections perform arithmetic operations in accordance with the inherent subfield arithmetic to provide an n-tuple in each cell of the accumulating register. A product of two vectors can be obtained in m clock cycles. By mapping between registers, squaring of a vector can be obtained in one clock cycle.
