Patent CA-2208172-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEVY ALON YITZCHAK
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: A method of reducing the burden on database administrators when integrating information from a database system with a computer system over a computer network is disclosed.  Rather than requiring the database administrator to express the meaning of database attribute names in a new language, the database administrators needs only to specify mappings between different database schemas by creating database example files.  The database example files contain a common body of information values stored using the corresponding attribute names of the different database schemas.  The database example files then become the basis for generation of a translation map between the computer system and the remote database system.  Then, information queries from a user are translated with the translation map to the database schema of the remote database system.

Title: Additive-containing synthetic filaments and yarns and carpets including such filaments
Inventor: GASPERSON G DANIEL
IPC: D01D5/28
Filed: 1996-12-03
Abstract: Synthetic filaments include a nonaqueous additive system having dispersant-coated pigments physically dispersed in a liquid nonaqueous polymeric carrier. The additive system is most preferably in the form of a particulate paste which can be added in metered amounts (dosed) to a melt flow of the polymeric host material prior to being spun into filaments. By providing a number of additive systems having a number of different additive attributes, and controllably dosing one or more  into the melt  flow of polymeric material,  melt-spun filaments having different additive attributes may be produced on a continuous basis (i.e., without shutting down the spinning operation). The filaments may be included in yarns which are formed into carpet structures.

Patent CA-2224825-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEE MICHAEL J
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 1996-06-27
Abstract: The assay described herein is predicated on an observation that when acridinium ester labeled tracers are bound to their corresponding binding conjugate immobilized on a metal oxide solid phase, the measurable chemiluminescent light emission of the labeled tracer bound to the solid phase is quenched as compared to the free fraction tracer that is unattached to the solid phase. According to the invention, a non-separation specific binding assay to detect or quantify the presence of an analyte is provided where the entire reaction mixture is flashed (including unreacted tracer) and modulated signal (because of the quench effect) is associated with a reference, thus determining the amount or presence of said analyte in said sample.  Disadvantages inherent in heterogeneous assays employing multiple separations may be avoided using this non-separation method.

Patent CA-2226970-A1 (CA)
Title: Branch boreholes
Inventor: BRUCE RONALD JAMES
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 1996-07-17
Abstract: A method of forming and lining a branch borehole comprises installing a packer in a main borehole, installing a whipstock on the packer, milling a window in the main borehole casing using the whipstock, recovering the whipstock, and then installing a deflector (20) to deflect a lining into the lateral. The external diameter (D) of the deflector is less than the internal diameter of the casing of the main borehole so as to permit subsequent milling away of cement and surplus lining material using a washover tool or thin walled mill.  The preferred deflector includes a relatively steep deflector face (21) at the upper end of the deflector and a relatively shallow deflector face (22) which connects the lower end (23) of the face (21) to the full diameter (D) of the deflector. If it is desired to use the maximum possible diameter casing for the lateral, portions of the formation and/or the main borehole casing are removed by an appropriate tool after the deflector (20) has been positioned within the borehole.

Inventor: FUISZ RICHARD C
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 1996-09-09
Abstract: The present invention is a method of preparing a system for delivering a bio-affecting agent and the composition prepared thereby. The invention includes forming a solid dispersion of the bio-affecting agent in an increased energy state in a water-soluble polymer which is compatible with the bio-affecting agent. As a consequence of transforming the bio-affecting agent to an increased-energy condition and freezing it in such condition in a water-soluble polymer, the bio-affecting agent is made available ("bio-available") to a bio-system upon dissolution of the polymer. This method and composition has been found extremely effective for delivery of otherwise substantially non-soluble drugs and other bio-affecting ingredients.

IPC: B65H29/04
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: The holding elements (28), designed as hook-gripper elements (26), are driven in a circulating manner by means of a drive arrangement (44) in a plane at right angles to a stack (16) of printed products that have back margins (20). In the takeover section (46), the cantilever arm (36) of a hook-gripper element (26) comes to bear against the back margin (20) of the topmost printed product (14) of the stack (16). The hook-gripper element is then guided in a sliding manner on the printed product (14) in the direction of a stop, until the hook mouth (38) of the hook-gripper element (26) has seized the back margin (20).   From the takeover section up to the transfer of the printed product (14) separated in this way from the stack (16), the direction of movement of the hook-gripper element (26) has a component toward the stop and a component away from the stack (16).
