Patent CA-2322618-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHMID-SCHONBEIN GEERT W
IPC: C12N5/0787
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: Diagnostic methods that rely on the use of one or more assays that assess cellular activation are provided. The assays are performed on whole blood or leukocytes (neutrophils), and indicate individually or in combination the level of cardiovascular cell activation, which is pivotal in many chronic and acute disease states. These results of the assays are used within a clinical framework to support therapeutic decisions such as: further testing for infectious agents, anti-oxidant or anti-adhesion therapy, postponement and optimal re-scheduling of high-risk surgeries, classifying susceptibility to and progression rates of chronic disease such as diabetes, organ rejection, atherogenesis, and venous insufficiency; extreme interventions in trauma cases of particularly high risk and activation-lowering therapies. Also provided is composition derived from a pancreatic homogenate that contains circulating cell activating factors, which can serve as targets for drug screening to identify drug candidates for use in activation lowering therapies. Methods for lowering cell activation by administering protease inhibitors, particularly serine protease inhibitors, are also provided. Kits for performing the methods are also provided.

Title: Inertia load dampening hydraulic system
Inventor: GITTER RICHARD JOHN
IPC: F15B11/00
Filed: 2000-10-13
Abstract: A hydraulic system is provided with a pump supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid through a first supply line to a closed center control valve. From the control valve the fluid is directed through work lines to a hydraulic motor. Exhausted hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic motor is directed through the control valve to an exhaust line having a back pressure check valve set at a first pressure level. The hydraulic motor is provided with a pressure relief valve and an anti-cavitation valve that are mounted in parallel with one another. The anti-cavitation valve is hydraulically coupled to the exhaust line. To keep the exhaust line fully charged a second supply line extends between the first supply line and the exhaust line. The second supply line is provided with a pressure reducing valve that is set at a second pressure level. The second pressure level of the pressure reducing valve is less than the first pressure level of the back pressure check valve.

Abstract: A multiple plate clutch 11 is provided between a drive shaft 5 continuously extending to front wheels which are main wheels and a driven shaft continuously extending to rear wheels which are sub-drive wheels for distributing a part of the torque on the front wheels to the rear wheels. A tow-way clutch mechanism in which the drive shaft 5 is connected to a single hydraulic pump 26 via a clutch outer 17 and a sleeve 31 locks when the rotation speed of the drive shaft 5 exceeds the rotation speed of the driven shaft 6 beyond a predetermined rate to thereby drive the hydraulic pump 26 so as to put the vehicle in a four-wheel drive condition, irrespective of the straight-ahead or straight-backward running operation of the vehicle, i.e., irrespective of the rotating direction of the drive shaft 5. Since only a minute torque is applied to the two-way clutch mechanism to drive the hydraulic pump 26, the torque transmission capacity of the two-way clutch 32 can be decreased, whereby the miniaturization and cost reduction of the device can be attempted at being attained.

Patent CA-2346092-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WARREN ROBERT L
IPC: G10L25/51
Filed: 1999-10-08
Abstract: Auxiliary data (x(m)) is transported in subbands (si(k)) of a primary data signal (s(t)) by hiding the data in the form of colored noise. The colored noise (pci(k)) has a spectrum that simulates the spectrum of the primary data signal in each subband (si(k)). The data to be transported is first converted to a spread spectrum signal (p(n)). The primary data signal (si(k)) is analysed (88) to determine its spectral shape. The same spectral shape is imparted (94) to the spread spectrum signal in each subband (pi(k)), which is then combined (100) with the primary data signal for transmission. The spectral shaping can be performed using time domain modeling (88) and synthesis (94) such as linear predictive coding. A plurality of different auxiliary information streams (AUX. DATA A, B, ..., N) can be transported on the primary data signal (s(t)). By adjusting the gain (287, 297, 307) of individual spread spectrum signal carrier(s) and the power of the colored noise, the auxiliary information stream(s) can be rendered at any desired level below or above an interference threshold in the primary data signal (s(t)).
