Abstract: The invention relates to a docking buffer for attaching to ramps, comprising an elastic damping element (3) that is situated between two U-shaped sections (1; 2) consisting of a hard, shock-proof material. The limbs (4; 5) and (6; 7) of said sections are adjacent to one another and can be displaced in relation to one another, the limbs (4; 5) of one U-shaped section (2) converging at an angle .alpha. that deviates from 90~ in relation to a base surface (9) and the limbs (6; 7) of the other U-shaped section (1) diverging at an angle .beta.  that deviates from 90~ in relation to a base plate (8). The opening widths between the ends of the limbs (4; 5) and (6; 7) and the sizes of the angles .alpha.; .beta. are selected in such a way that the limbs (4; 5) embrace the limbs (6; 7). The advantage of the invention is that it provides a docking buffer with a simple construction that is thus cost-effective to produce, said buffer affording reliable protection even during an off-centre collision. The greater width of the mobile section in relation to the fixed section creates a larger impact surface for the docking vehicle.

Patent CA-2550799-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SILVERBROOK KIA
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2004-12-20
Abstract: A cartridge unit (10) for an inkjet printer, with an ink storage compartment (46) and an ink feed system (30) for connection to a printhead (22). The ink storage compartment has a displaceable wall section (48) so that its variable storage volume (46) is variable. The displaceable wall (48) is biased (54) toward expanding the variable storage volume (46) so that there is a negative pressure in the ink storage volume (46), such that ink does not inadvertently leak from the ink ejection nozzles. Without negative pressure, an ink meniscus can bulge from the nozzles. The meniscus will 'pin' itself to the edge of the nozzle aperture and may be strong enough to stop ink leakage. However, paper dust or other contaminants will eventually stop the bulging meniscus from pinning itself on the nozzle rim and leakage occurs. A negative pressure in the ink storage volume makes the meniscus invert back into the nozzle aperture. As the meniscus does not bulge out of the nozzle, paper dust on the nozzle surface does not break the surface tension to cause leakage.

Inventor: DEVER JOEL
IPC: A61B17/70
Filed: 2005-05-23
Abstract: A frame is attachable to first and second bone portions of a patient to facilitate measurement and resection of one or more bony landmarks. The frame has two anchoring features, each of which has a semispherical surface that permits rotational adjustment of the frame against the bone portions until the frame is secured. A bridging structure couples the anchoring features together such that the anchoring features are lockably movable with respect to each other. The bridging structure may have three linear sliders that provide the relative motion. A locking mechanism exerts pressure on all three sliders to lock them in place. An external anchoring feature enables attachment of the frame to a stationary reference to stabilize the frame. The frame also has registration features that permit attachment of measurement or resection tools to the frame. The frame is particularly useful for measuring and resecting spinal facets for facet replacement.

Patent CA-2570419-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GHOSAL SHIBNATH
IPC: A61K31/665
Filed: 2005-06-08
Abstract: An invention that adduces cogent evidence to establish that oxygenated dibenzo-.alpha.-pyrones (DBPs and their conjugates), the major bioactives of shilajit (Ayurvedic vitalizer), have their origin, at least partly, in EPA and DHA.  Earlier research has shown that, in mammals, C-20 PUFAs are metabolized by oxygenases and other enzymes to produce short-lived prostaglandins, leukotrienes and thromboxanes that bind to specific G-protein-coupled receptors and signal cellular responses, e.g., inflammation, vasodilation, blood pressure, pain etc. But never before it was suggested/shown that C20:5n-3 PUFAs, e.g., EPA (and DHA), are transformed into stable aromatic metabolites, DBPs, which elicit a large array of bioactivities in the producer organisms and also control the synthesis and metabolism of arachidonate-derived prostaglandins. The major beneficial effects attributed to EPA and DHA  are now found to be largely contributed by DBPs and their aminoacyl conjugates and the dibenzo-.alpha.-pyrone-chromoproteins (DCPs). Because of the highly unstable nature of EPA and DHA, when administered, they are metabolized into a large array of uncontrolled products, several of which are systemically undesirable. By contrast, DBPs, because of their stability, perform the biological response modifier (BRM) functions in a directed and sustained way.  Many of the biological effects of DBPs described in this invention, were earlier attributed to EPA and DHA, - the precursors of DBPs.
