Patent CA-2342853-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RYSER CHRISTOPHE U
IPC: G02B5/22
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: Plastic articles, especially plastic optical lenses are tinted by immersing the plastic article in an aqueous dispersion of tinting agent and exposing the dispersion and immersed article to microwave radiation to bring the dispersion to ebullition; the ebullition is maintained for at least 2 seconds with transfer of tinting agent from the dispersion to the article to tint the article; the tinted article is removed from the dispersion and rinsed with water. The method achieves tinting in significantly shorter times than conventional methods and employs water-based dispersions thereby avoiding emission of vapors of organic solvents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for preparing fibrous vegetable  material, especially hemp plants, for further processing. The fibrous vegetable material (1) is introduced into the receiving shaft (2) of a tobac co cutting machine known per se in the tobacco processing industry. It is press ed by means of a continuously operating pressing machine (7) with rotating and converging press conveyors (4, 6), broken up and cut into sections (21) of a  desired length when it exits from an opening (14) by means of a cutting devi ce with rotating blades (17). The fibre components (34) and the wood and stem components (36) are separated from each other for further individual processing. One advantage of the invention is that the fibre components are separated from the wood and stem components in a mass of vegetable material with high throughput rates in a rational and effective manner.

Title: Apparatus for surface image sensing and surface inspection of three-dimensional structures
Inventor: FISHER JOHN HORACE
IPC: G01B11/25
Filed: 1999-07-01
Abstract: An apparatus for providing a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object (1) illuminates the surface (11) of the object using an illumination source (2). Portions (6) of the surface are imaged through an aperture (12) in a plate (5) onto a portion (7) of a matrix sensor (3). The object is rotated about its principle axis while being simultaneously translated, and, at the same time the aperture is also rotated. By synchronising these translational and rotational movements, successive portions of the object surface can image onto respective successive portions of the matrix sensor, thereby providing an improved two-dimensional image of the surface of the object.

Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: La présente invention vise à démontrer que l'hormone parathyroïdienne humaine 1-34 [hPTH(1-34)] exerce des effets anti-apoptotiques sur les ostéoblastes lorsqu'on l'administre in vivo de manière intermittente à des souris. La présente invention vise également à démontrer que la PTH(1-34) [bPTH(1-34)] empêche l'apoptose in vivo, induite par les glucocorticoïdes, des cellules ostéoblastiques et ostéocytiques. Cette invention tend par conséquent à démontrer que les effets anabolisants précédemment établis de la PTH sur le squelette résultent de sa capacité à retarder l'apoptose des ostéoblastes, qui s'oppose à un effet stimulant sur l'ostéoblastogenèse. La présente invention se rapporte à des procédés de détection d'agents possédant des pouvoirs anti-apoptotiques sur les ostéoblastes, lesdits agents stimulant et/ou reconstituant l'os chez des sujets ostéopéniques ou empêchant les pertes osseuses au moyen d'agents tels que les glucocorticoïdes.

Title: Soft bearing support
Inventor: TREMAINE ERIC
IPC: F01D25/16
Filed: 2000-01-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to an annular support for support-ing radial bearings (18) and accom-modating radial expansion and lat-eral displacement, and damping vi-bration of the bearing (18) with re-spect to a static support (12) struc-ture.    The annular support (22) in-cludes an annular casing (24) to support a bearing (18) therein and a cantilevered support (26) which has a first and second rings, axi-ally spaced apart and connected by a plurality of flexible beams (32).  The first ring is connected to the an-nular casing (24) which is spaced radially, inwardly from the can-tilevered support (26) and the sec-ond ring is connected to the static support structure (12) so that the flexibility of the beams (32) permits the annular casing (24) to move lat-erally in small distance while the annular support is supported to the static support structure (12). The flexibility is adjusted by selection of a combination of number, width and thickness of the beams (32). A  service line (45) is able to have an access between two adjacent beams (32) to the annular casing (24) to provide lubricating fluids. The invention can be broadly applied to rotational mechanisms, in particular, to high rotational speed machine, such as aircraft turbine engines.

Title: Method for reducing test cycle time and for improving measuring accuracy at a leak testing process
Inventor: LEHMANN MARTIN
IPC: G01M3/32
Filed: 1990-01-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing the test cycle time and for improving the measuring accuracy of a leak testing process of a container. The process comprises the steps of providing a pressure difference as an initial predetermined pressure between the exterior of a closed container and the interior of the closed container without destroying the integrity of the container. The pressure exterior to the sealed container is measured for a certain time. This measurement determines the pressure integrity of the closed container. The method also includes the step of minimizing the volume of the exterior of the closed container wherein the size of that volume determines the test cycle time and the measuring accuracy. The invention further comprises a test chamber which is closable and contains a cavity for introducing the container under test. A means is provided for installing or introducing a pressure difference at an initial predetermined value between the exterior of the container under test and the interior of the cavity. A measuring unit is provided for measuring the pressure value which is dependent on the pressure difference and the leakage of the container. The shape of the cavity is at least substantially geometrically similar to the shape of the container so as to minimize the volume of the cavity outside the sealed container under test.
