Patent CA-2628566-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COTE ANDRE
IPC: H01L21/60
Filed: 2006-11-01
Abstract: A poly sheet continuously moving in a machine direction is heated to a temperature just below its glass thermal temperature to make the poly malleable. A circuit (e.g., RFID chip, EAS chip, transponder, IC) is placed on the poly sheet and embedded into the poly sheet, preferably with a heat resistant soft (e.g., rubber) roller that presses the circuit into the poly without breaking the circuit. A conductive strip or wire may be applied on or into the poly sheet to align with connection points (e.g., conductive bumps) of the circuit for conductive communication with the circuit. The conductive strip or wire is preferably cut to form gaps that are nonconductive between the cut sections of wire to avoid shorting of the circuit and/or allow the conductive strip or wire to function as an antenna for the circuit, and thus to form a chip strap or tag. The poly sheet thus provides a protective womb or shield for the circuit and wire.

Abstract: A process for producing metal ore pellets from a particulate carbon-based material, a metal ore material, and a silicate-based binder which includes one or more surfactants, comprising the steps of : admixing the materials and binder, and agglomerating the so-formed mixture by tumbling to form the pellets at ambient temperature. The tumbling action, such as in a rotary drum, serves to agglomerate the particles and bind the mixture into the pellets. No mechanical compression force is required. The process provides a simple but efficient process for using waste carbon-based materials and waste metal ore materials, and forming a useable product, which is ready for smelting. Rotating drum or pan agglomerators are relatively low cost to build, and are capable of very high tonnage throughputs.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining whether organ toxicity, particularly cardiotoxicity, will occur in a patient selected for treatment with various kinase inhibitors, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, more particularly erbB inhibitors such as Herceptin. In addition, methods are disclosed for determining whether a potential drug is likely to produce a cardiotoxic effect. The methods involve analyzing lipid levels or the expression fatty acid oxidation enzymes, pAMP activated protein kinase, glucose uptake, to determine whether a fatty acid oxidation disorder is present. The identification of a fatty acid oxidation disorder can be used as a predictor of toxicity, especially cardiac toxicity, and as an indication that organ function should be carefully monitored if a drug such as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor is administered. Methods are also disclosed for protecting organs from metabolic stress and for the treatment of cells, such as adipocytes, to reduce their lipid content.
