IPC: C07K5/062
Filed: 1995-09-25
Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des analogues du motif CAAX de la protéine Ras qui est modifiée par farnésylation in vivo. Ces analogues de CAAX inhibent la farnésylation de Ras. De plus, ils diffèrent de ceux précédemment décrits se présentant sous forme d'inhibiteurs de farnésyle transférase de Ras modifiée en ce qu'ils ne possèdent pas de fraction thiol. L'absence de thiol offre des avantages uniques sur le plan du comportement pharmacocinétique amélioré chez les animaux, de la prévention des réactions chimiques dépendant de thiol, telle que l'auto-oxydation rapide et la formation de bisulfure avec des thiols endogènes, et de la toxicité systémique réduite. L'invention se rapporte en outre à des compositions chimiothérapeutiques contenant ces inhibiteurs de farnésyle transférase et à leurs procédés de production.

Title: System and method using bounding volumes for assigning vertices of envelopes to skeleton elements in an animation system
Inventor: LAPERRIERE RICHARD
IPC: G06T13/20
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: A system and method for assigning the vertices of an envelope to one or more elements of a skeleton in an animation model. Bounding volumes are defined for skeleton elements and define effective volumes which are positioned relative to the skeleton elements to encompass one or more vertices of envelopes. The bounding volume geometry may be defined as desired and a desired assignment operation type is selected for the bounding volume. When automated assignment is performed, assignment of the vertices within the bounding volumes is performed in accordance with the selected assignment operation for each bounding volume and with a selected maximum number of elements to which each vertex may be assigned. Bounding volumes may be overlapped to provide versatile automated assignment and the bounding volumes and corresponding assignment operations are stored with the skeleton and therefore are independent of the envelopes employed. Thus, the bounding volumes and assignment operations can be used both for the assignment of pre-production quality, low resolution, envelopes and for the subsequent assignment of production quality, high resolution, envelopes, as desired.

Patent CA-2211721-A1 (CA)
Title: Device and process for thickening and conveying waste water sludges
Inventor: ZABRANSKA JANA
IPC: C02F11/127
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: A method is suggested for minimizing biological sludge in which biologically formed sludges are broken by disintegration wihtin the scope of a biological sludge treatment. The disintegrated sludge is subjected to a phase separation -- preferably a flotation - before it is fed into the biological sludge reactor, so that the treatment volume of the subsequent sludge treatment devices can be reduced. During disintegration of the biologically formed sludge, the cell walls of the microorganisms that form the organic part of the sludge are destroyed mechanically. Up to now, these microorganisms have passed the biological sludge treatment largely undamaged and form the high organic part of dry substance of up to 50% of the mass of solid substance. The broken cell components are mineralized to biogas by organisms of the biological sludge treatment, preferably under anaerobic conditions. The dry sustance of the sludge is reduced to the mineral fractions, the water binding property is reduced, whereby the outflow of free water is promoted and, thus, the sludge volume to be disposed is drastically reduced.

The inwardly extending elements are offset with respect to each other in the machine direction. The first (300) and second (305) panels are separated and positioned such that the inwardly extending elements of the first panel (300) and the inwardly extending elements of the second panel (305) are aligned in the machine direction. The distal edge of at least a portion of the first panel (300) is then joined with at least a portion of the distal edge of the second panel (305). Finally, the composite of the first (300) panels is severed in the cross machine direction to create an extensible side panel (305) that can be joined to an absorbant article (20).

Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: A wire cleaner having a chamber and containing an arc ring for passing a wire therethrough, such that when the wire and arc ring are provided with opposite electrical potentials, an electric arc discharge occurs from the wire to the arc ring which carries off impurities from the surface of the wire. An inert gas is used to purge the chamber to prevent oxidation of the wire during and following the discharge from the wire. A pair of annular permanent magnets are positioned around the wire on each side of the arc ring to produce a magnetic field parallel to the wire which interacts with the electrical arc discharge and causes the arc to rotate around the circumferences of the wire and arc ring, thereby cleaning the entire wire. A second embodiment is provided in which the pair of permanent annular magnets is replaced by a variable strength electromagnet surrounding the arc ring and wire path.
