Patent CA-2232272-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DELIO RALPH D
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 1998-04-23
Abstract: The present invention generally comprises a golf putter having a putting surface with a negative loft angle of about -10° to -2°. The putter surface strikes the ball at approximately the center of gravity of the club and above the vertical centerline of the ball, imparting overspin and eliminating the tendency for the ball to skid, bump or become airborne. The negative loft angle is such that the putter face contacts the ball above the centerline with each stroke, imparting topspin on the ball 100% of the time, independent of variable putting conditions. An alternate preferred embodiment of the present invention combines the negative loft putting face with a convex putting surface as circumscribed by arc of radius at least 5 inches and at most 84 inches. This convex putting surface is designed to minimize the trajectory errors caused by planar face putters by producing a ball trajectory which in most cases reduces the misalignment created by a nonzero contact angle between the ball and the putter face. In other words, if the angle of contact with putter face of the present invention is misaligned by 1 degree from that which would produce a straight line trajectory to the hole, the ball will travel a path that is less than or equal to 1 degree to the right or left of the hole, thus producing a more accurate alignment with the hole.

Abstract: A process for preparing a consensus protein is described. The process is characterized by the following steps:   a) at least three, preferably four amino acid sequences are aligned by any standard alignment program known in the art; b) amino acids at the same position according to such alignment are compared regarding their evolutionary similarity by any standard program known in the art, whereas the degree of similarity provided by such a program which defines the least similarity of the amino acids that is used for the determination of an amino acid of corresponding positions is set to a less stringent number and the parameters are set in such a way that it is possible for the program to determine from only 2 identical amino acids at a corresponding position an amino acid for the consensus protein; however, if among the compared amino acid sequences are sequences that show a much higher degree of similarity to each other than to the residual sequences, these sequences are represented by their consensus sequence determined as defined in the same way as in the present process for the consensus sequence of the consensus protein or a vote weight of 1 divided by the number of such sequences is assigned to every of those sequences. c) in case no common amino acid at a defined position is identified by the program, any of the amino acids, preferably the most frequent amino acid of all such sequences is selected; d) once the consensus sequence has been defined, such sequence is back-translated into a DNA sequence, preferably by using a codon frequency table of the organism in which expression should take place; e) the DNA sequence is synthesized by methods known in the art and used either integrated into a suitable expression vector or by itself to transform an appropriate host cell; f) the transformed host cell is grown under suitable culture conditions and the consensus protein is isolated from the host cell or its culture medium by methods known in the art.

Title: Paired electrical cable having improved transmission properties and method for making same
Inventor: BROREIN WILLIAM JACOB
IPC: H01B7/08
Filed: 1997-01-03
Abstract: A pre-twisted cable pair and a method for processing such pairs into an electrical cable having improved electrical and mechanical properties are disclosed. At least one insulated wire for transmitting electrical signals is pre-twisted prior to pairing with another insulated wire. As the pre-twisted wires are paired by a conventional double-twist machine which imparts back-twist, the detrimental electrical effects caused by irregularities in the individual wires are cycled over a very short distance, resulting in a cable pair having lower structural return loss, near-end crosstalk, and insertion loss than wires paired without any pre-twist. These pre-twisted wires may be united into a jacketed electrical cable by a continuous-extrusion jacketing process in which an optimal dielectric constant is maintained around each individual cable pair. This is made possible due to a unique die and tip configuration which provides ridges to space the pairs apart and provide optimum air dielectric, but prevents jacketing compound on the interior of the resulting electrical cable jacket from joining to isolate each individual cable pair during the extrusion process. The resultant electrical cable has superior electrical and mechanical properties when compared to similar electrical cables fabricated by conventional techniques.

Title: Kink resistant stent-graft
Inventor: MARTIN GERALD RAY
IPC: A61F2/92
Filed: 1996-12-13
Abstract: This invention is a stent graft (2) including a stent member (6) having an inner surface and an outer surface, a generally tubular graft member (4) and a coupling member (8) that couples the stent member (6) to the graft member (4). The coupling member (8), which in the preferred embodiment is in the form of a ribbon, covers only a portion of the inner or outer surface of the stent member (6) and secures the stent member (6) and graft member (4) to one another. Alternatively, the coupling member (8) can be described as interconnecting less than entirely the inner or outer surface of the graft member (4) to the stent member (6). With this construction, regions of the stem member (6) do not interface with the coupling member (8). Shear stresses between the stent member (6} and the coupling member (8) and the risk of tearing the graft (4) or coupling member (8) or delamination therebetween may he reduced as compared to a fully enveloped stent member (6). This construction also provides improved flexibility and kink resistance.
