Title: Chargeuse de particules a haute capacite et appareillage de transfert
Inventor: FRANCIS LANE
IPC: A01D87/10
Filed: 2006-05-17
Abstract: Une chargeuse de particules à haute capacité qui possède un flexible d'admission sur une paroi, flexible qui communique avec une source de pression négative formée par un système d'aspiration à étages multiples, de sorte à créer une forte aspiration, un gros volume d'air qui circule à grande vitesse pour attirer les matières particulaires dans le flexible et les propulser dans une chambre de séparation où les matières particulaires sont séparées du flux d'air et dirigées dans un ensemble de déchargement à vis sans fin sur la paroi latérale opposée de la chargeuse. Le système d'aspiration à étages multiples communique avec la chambre de séparation et/ou une chambre de dépôt, la chambre de dépôt procurant une zone où la poussière ou de la menue paille qui proviennent des matières particulaires aspirées, qui peuvent être présentes dans le flux d'air, peuvent se déposer par gravité sur une surface inférieure de la chambre de dépôt, ce qui prévient ainsi le contact avec les souffleurs de sorte à éviter l'engorgement des souffleurs et l'usure du rotor.

Title: Use of tetrafunctional initiators to improve the rubber phase volume of hips
Inventor: SOSA JOSE M
IPC: C08F279/02
Filed: 2004-11-18
Abstract: It has been discovered that improved polystyrene products, such as high impact polystyrene (HIPS), may be obtained by polymerizing styrene with a diene polymer in the presence of at least one multifunctional initiator. The presence of the multifunctional initiator tends to cause more branched structures in the polystyrene. Unexpectedly, the ratio of % gel to % rubber (G/R or rubber phase volume) increases as the swell index increases which is the opposite of the conventional trend. Additionally, acceptable G/R values can be achieved at increased polymerization rates with these initiators.
Patent CA-2553518-A1 (CA)
Title: Leaf spring assembly having safety spring with retaining elements
Inventor: BOLL MARTY
IPC: B60G11/12
Filed: 2006-07-20
Abstract: A leaf spring assembly features a stack of leaf springs having mounting couplings attached at opposite ends. The mounting couplings each have first and second mounting elements clamped together about at least a main spring and a safety spring. The Safety spring has retaining elements at opposite ends each having an extension portion and a blocking portion. The extension portion extends past the end of the main spring. Here the blocking portion extends generally perpendicularly from the extension portion to black motion of the mounting coupling should failure cause it to be detached from the stack of springs. This ensures that failure does not cause complete separation of the spring stack and mounting couplings.

Title: Disc brake rotor assembly and method for producing same
Inventor: JOLLEY DALLAS W
IPC: F16D69/04
Filed: 2005-01-21
Abstract: Novel composite disc brake rotor assemblies are provided, along with novel and efficient methods for manufacturing them. Preferably, the rotor assemblies comprise annular wear plates formed of particle reinforced aluminum-based metal matrix composite (MMC), ceramic matrix composite (CMC), or of 'carbon graphite foam.' The wear plates, made of a first material, are attached to annular surfaces of a central rotor, made of a second material, by fusing bonding layers between the wear plates and the rotor surfaces. The bonding layers are comprised of at least one of a metal alloy having a melting temperature lower than that of either the first or second materials, and a high-temperature adhesive. Preferably, the wear plates comprise projections that are positioned within adjacent receiving recesses in the center rotor.  The bonding layers and projections enhance thermal and acoustical transference between the wear plates and the center rotor section. Carbon graphite foam provides for substantially enhanced heat transference. Use of the fusable binding layer, or adhesive provides for an efficient, low cost method of manufacturing for composite disc brake rotor assemblies.

Patent CA-2555411-A1 (CA)
Title: A method and apparatus for orienting spherical cells
Inventor: FRONTIN-ROLLET ANDREW
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 2005-01-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a method that uses the orientation of a sperm cell to determine cell differences due to size, mass, or density. Cell differences such as differences in DNA mass are used to distinguish X chromosome-bearing sperm cells from Y chromosome-bearing sperm cells and therefore have use in in-vitro and in-vivo fertilisation procedures. The orientation of individual sperm cells is determined by measuring non-fluorescent light. The method uses one detector to measure the magnitude of fluorescence (for DNA (sex) measurement from the flat surface of the spermatozoon), and a second detector to measure the magnitude of refracted non-fluorescent light derived from a separate light source. The separate light source is derived from part of a phase contrast or Dark field optical system to provide orientation data.  Importantly, all excitation and fluorescent light is excluded from the second detection system by band-pass optical filters thereby providing for a cleaner signal from the concave edge (no fluorescence signal from the flat surfaces of the spermatozoon). It is reported that the orientation of a sperm cell when determined by passing light using optical phase contrast or Dark field optics through a sperm cell of interest provides for improved efficiencies, improved processing speeds and increased reliability in the results obtained. A further aspect of the invention describes an immobilising or ablative laser for immobising or destroying unwanted sperm.

Title: Methods and apparatus for measuring flow velocity in a wellbore using nmr and applications using same
Inventor: POITZSCH MARTIN E
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2002-09-09
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus fox determining flow velocity within a formation utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques in which the shape of the resonance region is restricted so that sensitivity to radial flow or vertical flow is obtained (or both when more than one NMR tool is used). Flow velocity using these NMR tools is determined using decay amplitude, frequency displacement or stimulated echoes (where the spins are stored along the magnetic field instead of the transverse plane to exploit echo decays and frequency displacements) based on the application of adiabatic pulses. Based on the described NMR measurement of flow velocity, additional wellbore parameters may be obtained such as a direct measurement of permeability, an assessment of drilling damage to the wellbore, formation pressure, invasion rate of the mud filtrate or the migration of fine mud particles during sampling operations.

Inventor: GUNN HAROLD DAVID
IPC: A61K35/74
Filed: 2006-12-20
Abstract: The invention provides in part methods of treating cancers of a specific organ or tissue by administering a composition that is antigenically specific for one or more microbes that are pathogenic in the specific organ or tissue in which the cancer is situated. The formulations of the invention thereby facilitate activation of an immune response to a cancer in a particular tissue or organ. The compositions may for example include killed or attenuated microbial pathogens, and may be administered at sites distant from the cancer, for example the skin. In some embodiments, microbial species of endogenous flora that are known to cause infection in the relevant organ or tissue may be used in the formulation of the antigenic compositions. In alternative embodiments, exogenous microbial pathogens that are known to cause infection in the relevant organ or tissue may be used in the formulation of the antigenic compositions. The administration of the immunogenic compositions may be repeated relatively frequently over a relatively long period of time. In embodiments for intradermal or subcutaneous injection, dosages may be adjusted so that injections reproduce a consistent visible delayed inflammatory immune reaction at the successive site or sites of administration.
