Patent CA-2332840-A1 (CA)
Title: Power system
Inventor: CRATTY WILLIAM E
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1999-05-17
Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a power system for providing power to a critical load. The system includes a first power source (102, 104, 106, 108) producing sufficient power to supply the critical load (114), and a second power source (110), independent of the first power source. The second power source (110) provides sufficient power to supply to the critical load.  The system also includes a rotary device (152) having a first power input circuit (AC input 1) and a second power input circuit (AC input 2). The second power source (110) is coupled to the rotary device (152) at the second power input circuit (AC input 2). A transfer switch (128) selectively couples the first power source (102, 104, 106, 108) to the first power input circuit (AC  input 1) and the second power input circuit (AC input circuit 2).

Title: Systeme de suspension pour entree de bille de bois
Inventor: PERREAULT JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: B27B31/00
Filed: 2001-02-27
Abstract: La rentabilité financière et environnementale d'une usine de sciage dépend en bonne partie de la valeur ajoutée à la matière première qui est des billes d e bois. Il est donc important de maximiser le volume de produit transformé pour chaque bille. C'est ce que l'on nomme le rendement matière.  Pour ce faire, les systèmes de sciage actuels lisent la forme de chaque bill e à l'aide d'un scanner, ajustent les outils de coupe et tournent la bille à l'angle qui sera le plus favorable au rendement matière. Certains systèmes orientent aussi la bille afin d'en tirer le maximum. Cette action est particulièrement intéressante pour les billes ayant une forte conicité (voir figure 1).   Cependant, les systèmes d'orientation de bille actuellement sur le marc hé n'offrent qu'une efficacité limitée et leur coût est difficile à justifier. Le mécanisme d'orientation idéal serait une série de rouleaux horizontaux pouvant bouger latéralement (figure 2). Il est toutefois facile d'imaginer q ue l'avance d'une bille courbe ou qui comporte des défauts importants dans ce genre d'arrangement mécanique provoquera des mouvements verticaux sur cette bille dû aux collisions entre le bout de cette dernière et chaque rouleau.   C'est pour cette raison qu'aucun manufacturier n'a fabriqué ce genre de machine jusqu'à maintenant.

IPC: C12Q1/6897
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: The present invention provides novel assay methods for identifying compounds  that selectively activate estrogen receptors (ER) of the alpha or beta subtype. In particular, the results from two assays, one measuring ER-.beta.  activity and the other measuring ER-.alpha. activity are interpreted. The assay measuring ER-.beta. activity uses cells comprising endogenous metallothionein-II as well as a DNA plasmid comprising a polynucleotide encoding human ER-.beta.. The assay monitors expression of metallothionein-I I- mRNA in said cells, wherein the level of metallothionein-II expression is regulated when a potential ligand binds to ER-.beta.. The assay measuring ER - .alpha. activity uses cells comprising ER-.alpha. as well as DNA plasmid comprising a reporter gene linked to an estrogen response element. The assay  monitors expression of the reporter gene, wherein the level of reporter gene  is regulated when a potential ligand binds to ER-.alpha.. Compounds which modulate activity in one assay but have little or no activity in the other assay are defined as estrogen receptor subtype selective.

Inventor: HOFFMAN STEVE E
IPC: B24B1/00
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: A method for finishing a workpiece involves placing a ferrofluidic finishing material (10) into a vessel (13). The ferrofluidic finishing material includes a ferrofluid (17) and a dispersed or colloidally abrasive media (19). A  workpiece (15) is placed in the vessel so that the workpiece is submerged in the ferrofluidic finishing material. A magnetic field is then applied in the vicinity of the vessel. The magnetic field produces an increase in viscosity of the ferrofluid. The increased viscosity generates a clamping force on the workpiece that results in increased surface resistance over the entire workpiece. Also, as the viscosity increases, it forces the workpiece to move relative to the ferrofluid. The relative motion between the abrasive media and the workpiece and increased surface resistance causes the abrasive media to finish the surface of the workpiece. In one embodiment, a plurality of magnetic fields are alternately generated within the vessel which results in a back and forth relative motion between the abrasive media and the workpiece.

Inventor: ZORN ANTON BOGDAN
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: Apparatus for measuring a physiological parameter of a patient, such as blood pressure, takes a sequence consisting of a predetermined number of individual measurements. The apparatus computes a best estimate of the physiological parameter from values obtained in two or more of the measurements. The apparatus automatically takes a sequence of measurements and then stops. The apparatus can operate unattended so that it is not necessary for a physician or other health care worker to be present while measurements are being made.  The use of the invention to measure blood pressure of a patient reduces the effect of "white coat" hypertension on the best estimate. Preferred embodiments of the apparatus ignore results of a first measurement in the sequence. The patient is already familiar with the apparatus when subsequent measurements are taken. This further reduces the possibility that the patient's reaction to the process of measurement will affect the results of the measurement.
