Patent CA-2475594-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANTHONY EDWARD JOHN
IPC: B01J20/34
Filed: 2003-02-11
Abstract: Le contrôle du soufre dans des systèmes de combustion à lit fluidisé implique bien souvent d'ajouter une source de calcium au dispositif de combustion, de telle sorte que le calcium peut se combiner au soufre. La cendre provenant de cette combustion contient souvent une quantité significative de calcium qui ne se combine pas avec les composés de soufre. L'invention traite d'un procédé de réactivation de cette cendre qui consiste à broyer la cendre dans un moulin à transport positif avec de l'eau. Ce moulin permet de broyer la cendre puis de l'hydrater pour convertir le calcium en hydroxyde de calcium. De manière avantageuse, les agents de séchage sont ajoutés à la cendre hydratée et broyée après broyage pour faciliter la formation de pastilles friables ce qui augmente la quantité de calcium pouvant réagir avec le soufre. Un aspect particulièrement avantageux de la présente invention consiste à utiliser des bouillies de charbon humides qui constituent autrement des déchets comme source d'eau à broyer avec la cendre. La teneur en charbon de la bouillie forme ensuite un combustible supplémentaire pour le processus de combustion. Ce système permet de convertir un déchet en une ressource pouvant être utilisée et valorisée.

Title: Bone fixator with outrigger
Inventor: COULL THOMAS
IPC: A61B17/64
Filed: 2003-05-28
Abstract: An external fixator (10) includes a main body (12) and an outrigger (14) for extending over a fractured joint, such as a wrist joint. The main body (12) can be positioned next to a right arm, or flipped over and positioned next to a left arm. The outrigger (14) is attachable to extend either to the left or to the right of the main body (12), as appropriate. A distal body is removeably connectable to the distal end of the main body (12), and the the distal body can be affixed to bone on the opposite side of the fracture to immobilize the joint where the fracture occurs. The distal body (18) is connected to the main body (12) with an adjustable securement section which provides six degrees of adjustment freedom. The outrigger (14) is attached to the main body (12) through a slide plate in a dual rail configuration which provides two dimensions of adjustment. Fragment pin supports (24) ride in a track (98) of the outrigger (14) , and provide seven degrees of adjustment freedom for directed fixation of fragments at the fracture site. The outrigger (14) is pivotally adjustable relative to the main body (12), and includes track portions (98) separated by a wrap around angle. The major components of the fixator are molded of plastic. A surgical technique using the fixator (10) includes immobilizing the joint for an initial healing duration and retaining fragment pins in place during a secondary healing duration.
Patent CA-2481650-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PEI YALING
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2003-04-07
Abstract: Computation -saving techniques and stability-adding techniques provide for fast, accurate reconstructions of a time series of images involving large scale 3D problems, such as real-time image recovery in an optical tomography imaging system. A system equation for a target medium (116) such as a tissue is solved using a Normalized Difference Method (NDM) (250). Because of the inherent stability of the NDM solutions, a weight matrix (W) of the system equation can be provided for a given point in a time series (220), then reused without recalculation at subsequent points. Further saving are achieved by decomposing W using singular value decomposition or direst matrix decomposition, transforming it to reduce its dimensions, and/or scaling it to achieve a more stable numerical solution. Values of measured energy (112) emerging from the target medium are back-substituted into the system equation for the different points to obtain the target medium properties.

IPC: H04L47/30
Filed: 2003-05-07
Abstract: A system (Fig. 4) and method (50) which permit the RNC to control purging of data buffered in the Node B. The RNC monitors for a triggering event, which initiates the purging process. The RNC then informs the Node B of the need to purge data by transmitting a purge command (54), which prompts the Node B to delete at least a portion of buffered data. The purge command (54) can include instructions for the Node B to purge all data for a particular UE, data in one or several user priority transmission queues or in one or more logical channels in the Node B, depending upon the particular data purge triggering event realized in the RNC.

Title: Cooking system comprising a directly heated glass-ceramic plate
Inventor: WERMBTER KARSTEN
IPC: H05B3/74
Filed: 2003-05-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a cooking system, which is based on the principle of heat conduction and comprises a one-piece cooking surface made of a glass-ceramic material (10). Said cooking surface has a cooking area, which can be directly heated in an individual manner by means of heating elements (30) placed on the underside of the glass-ceramic plate (10). The invention provides that the glass-ceramic plate (10) has main crystal phases, high quartz mixed crystal or keatite mixed crystal, primarily formed from constituents Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2, with a coefficient of expansion of .alpha. = 0 to 1.5 x 10-6/K, preferably .alpha. = 0 to 1 x 10-6/K, and with a thermal conductivity of < 3 W/mK, preferably of < 2.7 W/mK. The glass-ceramic plate also has at least one cooking area situated on the underside thereof. In addition, the heating elements (30) of the cooking areas consist of metallic layers, and a porous ceramic layer (20) is placed between the underside of the glass-ceramic plate (10) and the heating elements (30) while serving as an electrical insulation layer. The optical appearance and the cleanability of the cooking system are thus improved, and it is possible to directly apply a durable heating layer system while considerably increasing the cooking capacities.

Inventor: WOLFE M MICHAEL
IPC: A61K38/26
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of various forms of GIP-receptor antagonists to attenuate the insulin response to GIP following meals in animals, such as humans, to prevent, reduce, inhibit and/or treat nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by virtue of its prevention and/or reversal of hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. Thus, the use of the GIP-receptor antagonists in any effective form is believed to prevent the development and reverse the process of NAFLD. The present invention is accomplished by administering an effective amount of an antagonistic agent, such as a GIP  antagonist or an antisense molecule, to antagonize, block, inhibit or ablate the receptor to Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP).

Title: Portable instant hot water heater
Inventor: LONG NORRIS RICHARD
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 2003-07-25
Abstract: A portable instant water heater. Water is delivered to a base unit (22) of the instant hot water heater by a pump (26) that draws water from a reservoir (28) through a flow control valve (90). The water flows into a pre-heater (74) that wraps around a base of the burner and that is heated by the burner (52). Water is heated in a heat exchanger (82) and then exits the bare unit through an outlet spout that swings out from the base unit to dispense water and that may be stored and locked into position in a handle for the base unit. The flow control valve (90) may lower the flow of water through the heat exchanger, so the water has more time to absorb heat and to get hotter. The base unit includes a single control knob (44) that turns an the pump (26) and the burner (52) and operates the flow control valve (90).
