Patent CA-2648224-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WESTON DENISE C
IPC: A63G31/00
Filed: 2007-04-13
Abstract: An interactive play structure is provided for facilitating team-oriented and/or group play to achieve a desired effect. The play structure includes play elements disposed at various locations and elevations throughout the play structure. Each play element can be activated or operated by one or more play participants to complete steps in a chain of triggering events. The overall completion of the chain of events results in a desired result or effect, such as a domino-like cascade of various mechanisms, balls, water the like. In one example, the effect includes the release of a cannonball from the top of a vertical structure. As the cannonball reaches the end of its descent, it causes water to be radially dispersed from a pool, such as onto nearby play participants. The cannonball is then advantageously returned to the top of the vertical structure through the use of one or more return conduits.

Title: Water distribution system for cold climates
Inventor: KORZENIOWSKI JAN A
IPC: E03B7/02
Filed: 2009-01-22
Abstract: The Water Distribution System is specifically applicable in cold climates in which water distribution systems may be subjected to freezing during the winter months.   The Water Distribution System is applicable to domestic, industrial, recreational and institutional water distribution systems including water transmission and distribution mains and service connections.   The Water Distribution System has applications in specific terrain and climatic conditions such as high bedrock, high groundwater table and permafrost.   The Water Distribution System may, in specific terrain and climatic conditions, use uninsulated or insulated water mains and service connections, but without heat tracing or water bleeding in any case.     The Water Distribution System is applicable to single and multiple complex distribution pipe systems arranged as parallel or looped, or combination of both arrangements.     The system design is simple, practical and economical when compared to conventional design of insulated and heat traced pipes or deep burry installations, or water bleeding to prevent freezing.

Inventor: TURKSON JAMES
IPC: A61K31/535
Filed: 2007-12-05
Abstract: A small-molecule Stat3 dimerization inhibitor, S3I-M2001. is described and the dynamics of intracellular processing of activated Stat3 within the context of the biochemical and biological effects of the Stat3 chemical probe inhibitor are elucidated. S3I-M2001 is a newly-identified oxazole-based peptidomimetic of the Stat3 Src Homology (SH) 2 domain-binding phosphotyrosine peptide that selectively disrupts active Stat3:Stat3 dimers. Stat3-dependent malignant transformation, survival, and migration and invasion of mouse and human cancer cells harboring persistently-activated Stat3 were inhibited by S3I-M2001. S3I-M2001 inhibited Stat3-dependent transcriptional regulation of tumor survival genes, such as Bcl-xL. The disclosed compound is useful as a new potential treatment for certain cancers.
Patent CA-2671603-A1 (CA)
Title: Reference electrode and reference solutions for use therein
Inventor: MANN THOMAS
IPC: G01N27/30
Filed: 2007-12-20
Abstract: Reference electrodes for potentiometric measurement of pH and ion concentration typically use mercury calomel or silver/silver chloride element combined with a saturated solution of potassium chloride (KC1) for the development of a stable potential with respect to a sensing electrode when immersed in solution. The salt KC1 is preferred because of it is almost equitransferent and thus minimizes the diffusion potential set up between the reference solution and the solution being tested. However, reference electrodes using concentrated solutions of KC1 suffer a drawback, which is its propensity to develop a creeping salt discharge that rapidly covers surfaces with KC1 crystals. This "salt creep" phenomenon appears to be unique to KC1; Salt creep is a major nuisance, particularly for reference electrodes used on semi-dry surfaces such as skin. It has been found that adding a secondary salt, such as sodium chloride on its own or with an evaporation inhibiting agent in selected ranges inhibits salt creep without adversely affecting the other properties of the reference solution.
