Patent CA-2162835-A1 (CA)
Title: Quick access to computer applications
Inventor: VOCE MAURICE F
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 1995-11-14
Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention features a method for enabling a user of a computer to rapidly begin using an application which had been previously placed in a non-running state.  Prior to the time when the application was placed in the non-running state, information defining an image of an interactive screen associated with the application is stored in the memory of the computer and locked to prevent corruption by other running applications. Then, in response to a request from the user to begin using the application, and before the application has been fully loaded into memory and is again running, the image defined by the stored information is displayed to the user.  In this way the user is given the impression that the application has become immediately available.

Title: Alloys containing insoluble phases & method of manufacture thereof
Inventor: BELL MALCOLM CHARLES EVERT
IPC: C22C1/00
Filed: 1995-12-15
Abstract: The invention provides a new method for casting alloys containing a finely divided phase. A bath of the molten metal having a melting point is provided. A finely divided solid metal having a melting point greater than the melting point of molten metal is introduced into the molten metal. The finely divided metal is reacted with the molten metal to form a solid phase within the molten metal. The molten bath is then mixed to distribute the solid phase withinthe molten metal. The molten alloy is then cast into a solid object containing the solid phase. The solid phase is insoluble in the matrix and has a size related to the initial size of the finely divided solid. The alloy of the invention advantageously consists essentially of, by weight percent, about 3 to 40 aluminum, about 0.8 to 25 nickel, about 0 to 12 copper and balance zinc and incidental impurities. The alloy has a zinc-containing matrix with nickel-containing aluminides distributed throughout the matrix.

Patent CA-2174875-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for pulping sawdust
Inventor: MIELE JAY J
IPC: D21C1/02
Filed: 1996-04-24
Abstract: Chemical cellulose pulp is made from sawdust utilizing a static down-flow retention vessel. By adding steam and cooking liquor to a flow of sawdust a heated slurry, at a cooking temperature of about 250-350°F, is produced. The heated slurry is, at superatmospheric pressure, moved downwardly in the static down-flow retention vessel while cooking temperature is maintained, for a time period of about 0.5-6 (preferably 1 to 3) hours, the slurry having a consistency of about 5-30%. At superatmospheric pressure, without significant reduction in pressure from the retention vessel, the slurry is cooled to well below cooking temperature by diffusing cooling liquid through it, as in a conventional pressure diffuser. The discharge from the retention vessel is preferably substantially solely gravity action (e.g. using a discharge with single convergence and side relief). Various mixing, diluting, thickening, steaming, and pumping devices are utilized in the system from initial steaming of the sawdust to passage into the top of the retention vessel.

Patent CA-2181015-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCNELIS THOMAS C
IPC: A61F13/20
Filed: 1996-07-11
Abstract: There is provided a supporting rim structure of an open-ended tampon applicator for firmly supporting a tampon pledget that has been assembled in the applicator. The applicator supports the pledget around an intermediate section between its insertion end and its rear portion so that the insertion end is exposed outside of the applicator and the rear portion is inside of the applicator. In particular, the rim structure firmly supports the pledget against an axial force subjected to the pledget by a forming tool that forms the insertion end of the pledget into a rounded, hemispherical shape and yet readily allows the pledget to eject from the applicator. The rim structure has a shape that tapers angularly inward from the body of the applicator to form a rigid brace that counters the axial force subjected by the forming tool. Thus, while preventing the insertion end of the pledget from receding back into the applicator, the rim structure allows the pledget to easily eject from the applicator.

Patent CA-2192979-A1 (CA)
Title: Radiant wall oven
Inventor: FORNEY ROBERT B
IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 1995-06-14
Abstract: An oven (70) for cooking foods, and especially for browning foods, has heated, radiant walls (18, 20). Heat may be supplied by a gas burner flame in a plenum (22) behind the walls, with products of combustion thus being isolated from the food in the oven chamber (12). In one embodiment food products are continuously conveyed through the oven chamber and, depending on oven temperature, are either cooked or simply browned in the oven by the radiant wall heat. Fats and other materials rendered from the food products, if not fully incinerated in the oven chamber, may be transferred along with exhaust air from the oven chamber to a separate combustion chamber. Steam or other inert gas is introduced to the oven chamber to minimize oxidation and prevent flame, and the steam can be produced by heat exchange with exhaust plenum gases.

Patent CA-2199718-A1 (CA)
Title: Tension ascension knife coating method
Inventor: STRENGER MARK R
IPC: B05D1/26
Filed: 1995-08-24
Abstract: To knife-coat elastic liquids without the presence of flow instability, the extension rate in the upstream region of the coating bead is kept low by increasing the distance over which the liquid must accelerate. The onset of the flow instability is delayed by insuring that the upstream liquid-air interface of the coating bead is relatively long and flat. This is accomplished by allowing the elastic liquid to pull itself over a relatively large distance out of a trough and into the knifing passage. The liquid is able to ascend into the knifing passage by virtue of liquid tension developed by the extensional flow in the upstream region of the coating bead.
Patent CA-2200552-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for loading solid supports for nucleic acid synthesis
Inventor: BHONGLE NANDKUMAR
IPC: C07H21/00
Filed: 1995-09-22
Abstract: New methods of loading solid supports for oligonucleotide synthesis are presented. The new methods comprise coupling a succinylated nucleoside to a solid support using diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) as an activator and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) as an acid catalyst. DIC is substantially cheaper than the currently used activating agent, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (DEC). Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, when it is used in combination with HOBT, coupling is more efficient, requiring less nucleoside to achieve the same loading densities as in the prior art. The loading process is faster than prior art methods and the overall cost savings of about 43 % are realized.
