Patent CA-2577860-A1 (CA)
Title: Window shade liner method and apparatus
Inventor: HYMAN JAMES J
IPC: A47H5/00
Filed: 2005-08-22
Abstract: A Roman shade accepts a removable liner to block sunlight and provide privacy.  The retraction mechanism draws the shade up in tiers with one or more cords.  The liner links to the shade across the top of the shade and at the top edges of tiers, with the tiers formed either in the shade or in the liner itself.  Links between shade and liner at the tier tops are closable loops. A hook-and-loop tape is preattached to the top edge of the liner, while a separate strip of adhesive-backed, mating hook-and-loop tape is furnished for user attachment to the top edge of any tier-lift shade. Once the user attaches the links at the tiers, the liner forms tiers mirroring the tiers of the Roman shade as the two are raised together.

Title: Plantes particulieres non saturees ou a niveaux de saturation reduits d'acides gras dans les graines et huile derivee de ces graines
Inventor: REDDY SAM
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 2005-10-07
Abstract: L'invention porte sur de l'huile de colza non saturée, ainsi que sur des semences pouvant servir à fabriquer ces huiles, et sur les plantes qui produisent ces semences. Tous ces éléments ont été obtenus, de manière surprenante, au moyen d'un gène de désaturase delta-9 contenu dans le colza. Cette technique peut s'appliquer à d'autres plantes. Les huiles de l'invention possèdent des propriétés particulièrement avantageuses et des profils d'acide gras qui n'avaient pas été obtenus jusqu'à présent. Cette invention se rapporte aussi à un gène de désaturase delta-9 optimisé par plante. Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, une plante préférée comprend au moins deux copies de gène de désaturase delta-9 de l'invention. Les semences produites par ces plantes ne présentent pas, contre toute attente, d'effets de silençage mais présentent des réductions surprenantes de niveaux de saturation totale.
Patent CA-2583701-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KATO TAKASHI
IPC: B22D19/00
Filed: 2001-05-04
Abstract: A part is manufactured from a composite material containing an aluminum alloy as a metal matrix. Blanks are prepared from a billet of the composite material, and worked on in a press, while they are held at a temperature ranging from the solidus temperature, Ta, of the aluminum alloy minus 50 (Ta - 50) deg. C to Ta deg. C. At a temperature below (Ta - 50), the blanks have too high a resistance to plastic deformation to be easily worked on. At a temperature over Ta, a liquid phase is produced and makes the blanks likely to crack easily during plastic deformation.
