Patent CA-2723376-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRUSKY NICHOLAS
IPC: H01H33/59
Filed: 2009-05-06
Abstract: A fault interrupter and load break switch includes a trip assembly configured to automatically open a transformer circuit electrically coupled to stationary contacts of the switch upon the occurrence of a fault condition. The fault condition causes a Curie metal element electrically coupled to at least one of the stationary contacts to release a magnetic latch. The release causes a trip rotor of the trip assembly to rotate a rotor assembly. This rotation causes ends of a movable contact of the rotor assembly to electrically disengage the stationary contacts, thereby opening the circuit. The switch also includes a handle for manually opening and closing the electrical circuit in fault and non-fault conditions.  Actuation of the handle coupled to the rotor assembly via a spring-loaded rotor causes the movable contact ends to selectively engage or disengage the stationary contacts.

Abstract: A prosthetic limb has an outer surface that is a mirror image of an intact limb or a generic limb design. The intact limb is scanned and the surface data is manipulated to create a virtual mirror image. If generic data is used, the intact leg can be measured and the generic surface can be adjusted so the prosthetic limb appears similar to the intact limb.  The end of the amputated limb is also measured to obtain socket data. A  knee and foot are incorporated to form a virtual prosthetic limb represented by design data. The design data for the virtual prosthetic limb is forwarded to a rapid prototyping machine that fabricates the entire leg simultaneously.    Once completed, the prosthetic limb is shipped to the patient.

Abstract: A method for efficiently amplifying abnormal prion protein (PrP Sc) derived from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is provided. Ultimately, the invention aims at eradicating the transmission of a prion disease by detecting a BSE-infected cow early and developing a method for inactivating prions and permitting early examination of prion inactivation. Provided is a method for efficiently amplifying PrP Sc derived from BSE, wherein the method is based on a PMCA (protein misfolding cyclic amplification) method in which normal prion protein (PrP c) is used as a source and PrP Sc is used as a seed, and PrP Sc derived from BSE is amplified by stir-mixing, incubating, and sonicating both the PrP c and the PrP Sc repeatedly, and wherein the method includes performing stir-mixing--incubation-sonication in the presence of a polysaccharide sulfate.

Abstract: Linezolid is a member of a novel class of antibiotics, with resistance already being reported. We used whole-genome sequencing on three independent Streptococcus pneumoniae strains made resistant to linezolid in vitro in a step-by-step fashion. Analysis of the genome assemblies revealed mutations in the 23S rRNA  gene in all mutants including, notably, G2576T, a previously recognized resistance mutation. Mutations in an additional 31 genes were also found in at least one of the three sequenced genomes. We concentrated our efforts on three new mutations that were found in at least two independent mutants. All three mutations were experimentally confirmed to be involved in antibiotic resistance. Mutations upstream of the ABC transporter genes SP_1114 and SP 2075 were correlated with increased expression of these genes and neighboring genes of the same operon.  The hypothetical protein SP_0373 contains an RNA methyltransferase domain, and mutations within that domain were found in all S. pneumoniae linezolid-resistant strains. Interestingly, the SP_0373 ortholog was also mutated in a linezolid-resistant clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolate.
