Patent CA-2338970-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ICHIGAYA HIROSHI
IPC: A42B3/28
Filed: 1998-12-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un coussin de rafraîchissement pouvant être facilement préparé, conservant sa capacité de rafraîchissement pendant une longue période, permettant de changer l'eau sans trop de travail, et étant efficace lorsqu'on l'utilise pendant une mauvaise nuit d'été, et lorsqu'un utilisateur a de la fièvre. Les vêtements de rafraîchissement consomment une faible énergie électrique, présentent une structure simple, et sont capables d'éviter la chaleur, ce qui permet à un utilisateur de passer un moment agréable même dans un environnement à température élevée. Un casque de rafraîchissement est capable d'éliminer les désagréments dus à la chaleur, d'empêcher l'épuisement de la force physique, et d'améliorer le soin apporté au travail et son efficacité, et sa sécurité. Le coussin de rafraîchissement, les vêtements de rafraîchissement et le casque de rafraîchissement fonctionnent sur le principe que l'air s'écoule en contact étroit avec le matériau fibreux situé à proximité du corps de l'utilisateur. Ils contiennent une quantité d'eau suffisante qui est vaporisée, la tête ou le tronc étant refroidis par absorption de la chaleur provenant de la vaporisation. Ces inventions comprennent, toutefois, un ventilateur qui envoie de l'air, un passage d'écoulement à travers lequel l'air s'écoule, et une feuille de vaporisation qui forme le passage d'écoulement et qui contient l'eau.

Title: Measurement of fluorescence using capillary isoelectric focusing
Inventor: PAWLISZYN JANUSZ
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: Improved apparatus is disclosed for carrying out axially illuminated laser induced fluorescence whole-column imaging detection in the capillary isoelectric focusing of proteins. The separation capillary was made of low refractive index Teflon conditioned with methylcellulose to reduce electroosmotic flow and a small amount of high refractive index organic solvent (glycerol) was added to the sample mixture. It was found that an axially directed laser excitation beam was propagated essentially with total internal reflection, so that minimum interference arose from stray light or from scattering light originating from the wall of the capillary. With the naturally fluorescent protein R-phycoerythrin, a concentration detection limit LOD 10-11 M or mass LOD 10-17 Mo was obtained.
Patent CA-2344158-A1 (CA)
Title: Bungee cord carrier
Inventor: TOWERS WILLIAM J
IPC: A47F7/00
Filed: 1999-09-14
Abstract: A frame-like carrier (10) for a plurality of various sized, stretchable, elastic cords (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38). The carrier ( l0) has at least three spaced apart cross arms ( 12, 14, 16, 18, 20) for supporting cords (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38) in an organized and compact manner between any two of the cross arms (12, 14, 16, 18,20). The cross arms (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) are appropriately spaced such that commercially available sizes of cords (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38) are supported on the carrier ( 10) in a slightly stretched condition. Thus, the cords (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38) are supported under enough tension on the carrier (10) to resit disengagement and maintain proper positioning, yet a small enough amount of tension to prevent an accidently disengaged cord (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38) from creating a hazard as it snaps back into a non-tensioned condition.
