Patent CA-2308501-A1 (CA)
Title: Clamp for holding flat objects
Inventor: REIST WALTER
IPC: B65H29/04
Filed: 1998-09-21
Abstract: Both limbs of the clamp (2, 3), which are pivotally arranged on the axis of a bearing, are rotated from a closing position into an open position and vice versa by an actuating device (12). The actuating device (12) can be displaced from a top end position (13) to a lower end position (14). The actuating device (12) exerts a closing or clamping force on the outer side (22, 23) of the limbs of the clamp (2, 3) in said lower end position (14).      When the actuating device (12) is displaced to the top end position (13), an expanding element (15) arranged between the limbs of the clamp (2, 3) comes into contact with the inner side (24, 25) of the limbs of the clamp (2, 3) and exerts an opening force on the limbs of the clamp (2, 3) so that said limbs (2, 3) are swung at a large angle (a) in their open position.
Patent CA-2311185-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SICKELS DARRELL L
IPC: B23K9/12
Filed: 2000-06-12
Abstract: A system for arc welding includes a welding power supply and a wire feeder. The wire feeder includes a do wire feed motor and a do wire feed power supply in electrical communication with the wire feed motor. A PTC thermistor is disposed electrically between the power supply and the wire feed motor. Current flows from the power supply, through the PTC thermistor, and then to the motor.      Under normal current conditions the PTC thermistor allows current to be provided to the wire feed motor from the power supply, but under excessive current conditions the PTC thermistor inhibits current from being provided to the wire feed motor from the power supply. A diode is connected in anti-parallel with the motor. A pulse width modulation switch control current delivered to the motor. A normally open relay is closed when welding is to be performed to provide current to the motor, and a normally closed relay, connected in parallel with and shunting the motor, is opened when welding is to be performed. The normally closed relay acts as a brake on the motor when it is closed. The PTC thermistor is not shunted by a resistor and/or a varistor, and/or is not in parallel with a relay.

Title: Gasket for pressurized fluid system
Inventor: SHAFFER RONALD J
IPC: F16J15/10
Filed: 2000-11-23
Abstract: Gasket for sealing between flanges in a pressurized fluid system. A central opening is disposed within an inner periphery of the gasket, the inner periphery being curved toward the central opening. Fluid pressure on the inner periphery is reacted by hoop tension in the gasket. The outer periphery of the gasket has concave segments between fastener holes so the area of the gasket is substantially less than the area of the flanges. In this manner, the clamping pressure exerted by the flanges on the gasket is increased.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réseau de communication (200) et un procédé (500) permettant de délimiter point-à-point des structures de trame (215, 300, 402) pour réduire le trafic de service que consomme la largeur de bande d'une interface air radio (216) située entre une station mobile (206) et un réseau à commutation par paquets (202). Plus précisément, le terminal mobile (206) utilise une interface série (222) et un protocole point-à-point pour la connexion à un terminal de données (220) et un protocole de communication et une interface radio (216) pour la connexion au réseau à commutation par paquets (202). Le terminal mobile (206) insère un premier ensemble prédéterminé de zones (312) (trafic de service) sur une première structure de trame (300) (données) reçue du réseau à commutation par paquets (202) puis retransmet la première structure de trame insérée (302) (données et trafic de service) à l'équipement terminal de données (220). En plus, le terminal mobile (206) extrait un deuxième ensemble de zones prédéterminé (406) (trafic de service) de la deuxième structure de trame (400) (données et trafic de service) reçue du terminal de données (220) puis retransmet la deuxième structure de données sans habillage (402) (données) au réseau à commutation par paquets (202). La consommation de la largeur de bande est réduite lorsque les structures de trame (215, 300, 402) dépendant de la direction de migration sont sans habillage ou bien insérées avec les zones de trafic de service (312, 406) de telle façon que la plupart des données sont transmises entre le terminal mobile (206) et le réseau à commutation par paquets (202).

Title: Procede d'immunotherapie contre les infections staphylococciques comprenant la selection des donneurs et la stimulation des donneurs
Inventor: PATTI JOSEPH M
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: On décrit un procédé et une composition d'immunisation passive de patients contaminés ou susceptibles d'être infectés par des bactéries de Staphylococcus tels que le S. aureus et S. epidermidis . Le procédé consiste à sélectionner ou à préparer un pool de plasma donneur ayant un taux élevé d'anticorps destiné à des adhésines de Staphylococcus ou à des constituants de surface de microbe reconnaissant les molécules matricielles adhésives (MSCRAMM) soigneusement sélectionnés, ou bien à des fragments ou des à constituants de ces derniers, ou encore à des séquences présentant une homologie substantielle avec ces derniers. Le pool de plasma donneur peut être préparé par combinaison de sang individuel ou d'échantillons de composants sanguins possédant un taux d'anticorps supérieurs à la normale par rapport à une ou plusieurs des adhésines sélectionnées ou à d'autres protéines qui se lient à des protéines de matrices extracellulaires, ou au moyen de l'administration de protéines ou de peptides soigneusement sélectionnés à un hôte en vue d'induire l'expression d'anticorps désirés, suivie de la récupération du pool de plasma ou de sérum à taux élevé accru chez l'hôte. Dans tous les cas, le pool de plasma donneur est de préférence purifié et concentré avant son introduction par voie veineuse dans le patient, et la présente invention présente un intérêt du fait qu'un patient peut être immunisé contre une grande variété d'infections par staphylocoque potentiellement dangereuses. Des kits permettant d'identifier des donneurs potentiels ayant des taux élevés des adhésines sélectionnées sont également décrits. La présente invention concerne par conséquent des procédés et des compositions qui sont très efficaces contre les infections associées aux bactéries de Staphylococcus.

Patent CA-2350639-A1 (CA)
Title: Flame arrester
Inventor: READE CHARLES OSBORN
IPC: G08B17/00
Filed: 1999-11-09
Abstract: A flame arrester comprises a flow passage in which are disposed a plurality of generally aligned rods such that fluids flowing in the passage must pass between the rods. Rows of rods are used to construct the flame arrester element, ideally closely spaced and these present a natural surface over which air can flow with minimal flow resistance. The rods can be of any size and the gaps between them can be selected to arrest explosions due to different gases or vapours in air. The rod diameter can be altered to withstand different levels of explosion pressure, making it possible to construct both deflagration and detonation flame arresters. The rods can be made of solid material or tubes. If tubes are used these can carry cooling fluid making the arrester more effective at coping with continuous burning. Additional tubes of larger diameter and spacing can be added upstream. Rods in parallel rows can be offset with respect to the adjacent row. Suitable offset angles can vary. Examples are between 30 and 60 degrees, but this is not exhaustive. This arrester lends itself to being cleaned mechanically, simply by introducing a linear scraping device. This preferably passes over each rod to keep it clean. The scraping device can either be operated by manual effort or automatically in a variety of ways.
