Patent CA-2231038-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ORGAN LESLIE W
IPC: A61B5/053
Filed: 1998-05-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for screening, sensing, or diagnosing disease states by obtaining a plurality of electrical impedance data measurements in organized patterns from two anatomically homologous body regions, one of which may be affected by disease. One subset of the data so obtained is processed, compared and analyzed by structuring the data values as elements of n × n impedance matrix, and characterizing these matrices by their eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Another, not entirely exclusive subset of the data is alternatively processed, compared and analyzed by plotting the impedance data as chords of two circles representing the two homologous body regions. Impedance chord plots provide a visual indication of certain disease states and their location.

Title: Fusion reactor that produces net power from the p-b11 reaction
Inventor: ROSTOKER NORMAN
IPC: G21B1/05
Filed: 1996-08-22
Abstract: Ionized boron and protons are used as nuclear reactants in a field-reversed configuration system, and fused to yield three alpha particles with kinetic energy convertible to useful energy. The boron and proton beams are injected from injectors (32 and 34) respectively, into the reaction chamber (12) in such a manner as to have a relative energy of 0.65 MeV, corresponding to a resonance maximum in the reaction cross section. The boron beam has energy of 0.412 MeV and the proton beam has energy of 1 MeV. Furthermore, in the device of the invention, the beams tend to circulate in the same direction, thereby avoiding rapid change in the mean velocities of the beams due to ion-ion scattering. The ions remain confined for relatively long periods, enhancing fusion collisions. Both ion beams should not have temperatures greater than 100 keV, because this will detract from the resonance in cross section.

Abstract: A bag dispenser (10), for separating and dispensing plastic bags (22, 23) from a roll of bags (20) where one end is attached to the top of the next bag by perforation lines (24) with a slot (25) therebetween. The bags (22, 23) are dispensed from a device (30) comprising a wire frame formed into arcuate channels (34, 34') to support the core (26) that the series of bags are rolled onto. The dispenser (10) includes a second tensioning member (40, 40') attached to a support member (32) and disposed at an angle thereto to provide tension to the edges of the roll of bags (20) as the core passes (26) through the channel passageway as bags are removed from the roll. Spaced apart from the support is a symmetric separating tongue (42). The tongue (42) will engage the slot (25) regardless of whether the bags are drawn over or under the tongue (42). As the user pulls on the bags (22, 23), a tension is created by the brake and the user to deflect the tongue (42) which remains deflected until the tongue (42) engages the slot (25). Thus, when the separator engages the slot (25), the tongue (42) recoils through its normal position to facilitate the separation of the two bags (22, 23). The dispenser (10) may also include core retaining members (38), located at the closed end of the arcuate channels (34) to keep the core (26) of smaller rolls from popping out and to retard rotation of the core.
Patent CA-2236307-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DELIZZA ANTHONY JOSEPH
IPC: C12Q1/32
Filed: 1996-10-30
Abstract: The present invention is an improvement in a method using a reporter dehydrogenase for detecting the presence of an analyte in a sample in which endogenous dehydrogenases present in the sample interfere with the detection of the analyte. The improvement is the inclusion of an inhibitor of the endogenous dehydrogenase in the assay medium. The improvement finds particular utility in the measurement of ethyl alcohol using alcohol dehydrogenase as the reporter enzyme when lactate and lactate dehydrogenase present in the sample interfere with the detection of the analyte. Particularly effective inhibitors which prevent this interference are fatty acids, such as, agaric acid and lauric acid, and alkyl sulfate salts, such as, sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium decyl sulfate.

Title: Construction system
Inventor: GREY MICHAEL J
IPC: A63H33/08
Filed: 1996-12-11
Abstract: A construction system where elements have means for a ball-to-socket or socket-to-socket connection. The ball-to-socket connection "locks" at orientations when one or more detents in the interior of the socket protrude into one or more of a plurality of dimples on the ball. The construction elements generally have an elongated body with a dimpled ball at one end and a socket at the other end, or dimpled balls at both ends, or sockets at both ends. In addition to the ball-and-socket connection, elements may connect in a socket-to-body connection, or a number of different types of socket-to-socket connections. The socket has at least two petals with a lip contour such that in one type of socket-to-socket connection the pair of sockets interlock to form a sphere.  The irregular shape of the lip of the socket allows a ball to be leveraged out of a socket, and make orientations over at least 2.pi.  steradians available in a ball-to-socket interconnection.

IPC: H02K7/02
Filed: 1996-12-16
Abstract: Les systèmes de paliers tels que les paliers magnétiques sont largement utilisés de nos jours. Toutefois, ils sont tous susceptibles d'avoir des défaillances. C'est pourquoi on utilise souvent des systèmes de paliers de renfort en combinaison avec un système de paliers principal. Le système de paliers de renfort pour le recentrage de paliers magnétiques comprend un premier élément conique placé autour d'un axe et dans lequel au moins un palier est sensiblement disposé, un deuxième élément conique espacé du premier, disposé autour de l'axe et dans lequel est sensiblement disposé au moins un palier, et un ensemble d'actionnement espacé du deuxième élément conique et du deuxième palier dans une première position, ou position de fonctionnement. L'ensemble d'actionnement a pour effet de faire passer le deuxième élément conique et les paliers disposés dedans de la première position, la position de fonctionnement, où le système à paliers de renfort agit pour recentrer les paliers magnétiques, à une deuxième position, où il n'y a pas fonctionnement, quand les paliers magnétiques fonctionnent de nouveau.

Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for measuring the optical properties of bulk samples. A probe laser beam is fed into the two arms of the apparatus, a reference arm and a measurement arm, both of which contain optical fiber to conduct the laser lights. The measurement arm includes a free space area for mounting a sample to be tested. The probe beam is directed into the sample in free space. The sample also receives light in free space, rather than via the optical fiber, from a second, pump laser. The interaction ofthe sample and the pump laser affect the optical properties of the sample. This change in optical properties can be detected by comparing the output signals from the measurement and reference arms. (Fig 1)

Abstract: The Fuel Maxi-Miser is a housing that consists of two equal top and bottom sections. It is made of a very high heat resisting Nylon. Each section of this housing is fitted with a very powerful super conductor permanent magnet. These magnets are made out of a patented Neodymium Blend Neo.#35, size 0,500"~ x 0,500"H, and Nickel plated.   This invention is based on selecting the right strengths of the permanent magnets and their mounting in a specially designed housing of a minimum size and optimum strength, to be able to be installed in a confined space. (E.g. in an automobile - as close as possible to the fuel injector or carburetor). The magnetic chamber creates a very powerful magnetic field around the supply line through which the hydrocarbon fluids - such as gasoline, diesel oil, alcohol and natural gas - must flow.
