Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un nouveau procédé de détermination des taux sanguins de produits pharmaceutiques fixant l'immunophiline, tels que les cyclosporines, les rapamycines et les composés de FK506. Ce procédé comprend une nouvelle étape consistant à déplacer le produit pharmaceutique provenant de l'immunophiline à l'aide d'un compétiteur de liaison, ce qui élimine une étape d'extraction et contribue à simplifier davantage et améliorer le niveau de précision du dosage. Les coffrets de dosage comprennent un compétiteur de liaison et un récepteur, tel qu'un anticorps monoclonal, qui se fixe au produit pharmaceutique, mais pas de manière significative au compétiteur de liaison. L'invention se rapporte également à de nouvelles utilisations des composés fixant l'immunophiline.

Abstract: The disclosure describes container handlers having a swivel mount pivotally attached to a handler base that pivots between a lowered and a raised position.  A handle engaging flange   secured to the swivel mount engages a container of interest as the swivel mount is raised.  In one  embodiment,  a  corresponding  rim  gripping  flange attached to the base holds the container rim between the flanges in the raised position and active suction cups carried by the swivel mount also engage and hold the container  during  unloading  operations.  In  another embodiment, a second handle engaging flange is pivotally attached to  the  swivel  mount  for  pivoting  between  a retracted and a handle engaging position.   The second flange engages a second spaced parallel handle before the container  is tilted for unloading.   The base of each embodiment may be connected to any lifting device, such as an  articulated  multiple-member  support arm  or  boom connected to a refuse truck.
Patent CA-2175941-C (CA)
Inventor: ESSENWANGER KENNETH A
IPC: H03M1/78
Filed: 1996-05-07
Granted: 2000-02-29
Abstract: A DAC converts a sequence of digital codewords into an approximately piecewise linear analog waveform that follows rising and falling edges between plateau levels.  The DAC processes, in parallel, each bit of the codewords to pro-duce component waveforms that are weighted according to their bits significance and summed together to produce the piecewise linear analog waveform.   Waveform shaping cir-cuits control the rise and fall times of each component waveform so that the analog waveform's rising and falling edges settle to within a desired error bound of a linear output ramp whose slope is a function of the difference between successive codewords and the rise or fall times. The rise and fall times are preferably approximately the same.  Limiting switches control the plateau levels of the component waveforms so that the analog waveform's plateaus settle to within the desired error bound of the ideal val-ues represented by the codewords.  The linear region of the limiting switches are expanded to maintain the linearity of the rising and falling edges established by the waveform shaping circuits.

Abstract: Endogenous precursor cells are manipulated/modified in situ to induce the cells, by the application of one or more growth factors or similar compounds, to proliferate, differentiate and migrate within the CNS so as to replace lost or non-functional cells. The precu rsor cells are also altered in situ (in vivo) so as to secrete a compound which alters the function of other differentiated CNS cells. The endo genous precursor cells can also be treated with one or more growth factors in situ in order to increase the yield of stem cells that can be isolated from the adult CNS and proliferated in vitro.

Patent CA-2192893-C (CA)
Title: System for loading or unloading of parts onto or from trays
Inventor: MOWAT DONALD J
IPC: B65G60/00
Filed: 1996-12-13
Granted: 2001-02-20
Abstract: The system is for loading or unloading parts onto or from trays. The same system may be used for either function. A stack of trays loaded on a cart is wheeled into a first cart docking bay. A second cart is positioned in a second cart docking bay beside the first bay, to receive processed trays. A first tray elevator lifts the first cart and trays, or just the trays, to align the uppermost tray with a tray singulator and clamping mechanism. The tray is singulated, i.e. first supported at a lip by retractable opposing support rails and then separated from the stack byoperation of the elevator to lower the tray stack, and is then clamped in a precise position. It is subsequently unclamped and shuttled laterally into alignment above the second cart, onto identical retractable support rails, where it is similarly clamped in a precise position. The next tray is then raised by the first elevator and singulated and clamped in position, so that there are then two precisely positioned trays, one above each cart and tray stack. A robot loads or unloads parts onto or from trays at either location, transferring the parts from or to a target location, such as a pallet on a conveyor passing through the system, for example. This loading or unloading takes place primarily at the shuttled tray. When the shuttled tray is completely filled or emptied as the case may be, it is unclamped, the second elevator is lifted toprovide support for the tray, the singulator mechanism is opened to release the tray, and the tray stack is lowered, thus clearing the way for the next tray to be shuttled across. While the filled or emptied tray is being lowered, the robot can transfer parts to or from the tray above the first stack, thereby minimizing delays in the cycle.

Title: Pick resistant sash lock and keeper and method of locking sashes
Inventor: SUBLISKEY EDWARD J
IPC: E05C5/00
Filed: 1998-07-03
Granted: 2006-09-12
Abstract: The sash lock has a rotatable cam which engages the keeper. The sash lock has a slide plate mounted below the cam and the slide plate moves between a retracted position in which its leading edge is flush with the sash to which the lock is mounted. In an extended position in which the leading edge of the plate extends far enough to block the narrow gap between the sashes. The slide plate is mounted for movement perpendicular to the edge of the sash and parallel to the plane of the top surface of the sash. The slide plate includes an arcuate recess in one side of the plate which is engaged by a pin extending from the rotatable cam. The recess in the slide plate is contoured so that during initial portion of the movement of the cam from its open position toward its locked position, the slide plate does not move. After the cam has moved far enough to engage the keeper, the slide plate moves outward toward the sash to which the keeper is mounted so as to block the gap between the two sashes in the region of the cam. It reduces the chances of a sash lock being forced open.
