Patent CA-2458094-A1 (CA)
Title: Cle de transposition
Inventor: GOULET LUCIEN
IPC: G10G1/04
Filed: 2004-02-27
Abstract: L'invention consiste en un petit appareil manuel, composé de deux pièces de plastique de même grosseur, comportant l'inscription chromatique des notes de musiques, en anglais et en français. Cet appareil est relié au centre par une attache, dont la rotation dans les deux sens permet aux notes de bases d e correspondes simultanément aux notes transposées. En plus, chaque roue peut-être produite de couleurs différentes, ce qui permet de différencier pl us facilement les notes de bases par rapport aux notes transposées. La transposition est intéressante lorsqu'une chanson ou des accords de guitares par exemple, sont trop difficiles à interpréter dans la tonalité d'origine. L'utilisation de cet appareil facilite le processus de transposition. Note: Dans le texte les mots 'note' et 'clé' représente la même chose.</SDOA B>

Title: Process and apparatus for disposing of municipal solid waste
Inventor: PALLETT RICHARD B
IPC: F23G5/46
Filed: 2002-10-24
Abstract: A system for disposing of municipal solid waste (10) provides commercially- available equipment that is modified to initially remove identifiable unwant ed components from the waste (12), and then chop the waste into small pieces (1 6) of a size suitable for handling and combustion. The moisture content of the waste is reduced in a closed system (20) by passing dry air through the wast e in a confined space (30) to absorb moisture and produce moist air, which is then dehumidified via refrigeration equipment (34). The dehumidified air is recycled (30, 40) through the waste repeatedly through the closed system (20 ) until the water content has reached the predetermined amount. The waste is stored in a bunker (41) for later burning, or is immediately burned in a furnace (24) to produce heat that is used to produce steam (50), which drive s a generator (26) to produce electricity (52) that is partly used to power th e process and partly sold commercially.

Title: Process for synthesizing molecular sieves
Inventor: LESCH DAVID A
IPC: B01J37/03
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: A process for synthesizing a variety of molecular sieves has been developed. The process involves taking a slurry of seed crystals and adding to it nutrients (sources) of the framework elements, e.g. aluminum and silicon in order to grow the seed crystals. The rate of addition of the nutrients is controlled such that it is substantially the same as the crystal growth rate and such that there is substantially no nucleation of new crystals. The seed crystals may be the same or different than the nutrients being added, thus allowing for a layered molecular sieve. When the crystals have reached a desired size, they are isolated by conventional techniques.

Title: Video game terminal and security activation arrangement
Inventor: PODVOISKI EFIM
IPC: A63F13/77
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: An arrangement for effective updating of video game terminals uses a security key device which is capable of operating next major generation software that at the time of sale or distribution of the security device is not available. Once this software is available, the security key with this forward compatibility to the next major generation of software, allows the owner to update any terminal having the security device. Therefore, existing product, both terminals and/or software upgrades can be sold with the capability for the purchaser to upgrade without return of the security key device. Software can be made generally freely available as it requires a security key device to function. This system is convenient and effective, and allows continued sale of product up to the release of the next major generation of software. The purchaser is buying a next generation key and as such, is buying product that is not about to be replaced.

IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for embedding cells that utilizes a flow-through embedding technique maximizes the efficiency of extractions and decreases time for embedding the cell fragments, minimizes cell loss, and automatically positions cell samples at the position in which a microtome blade will section them. The apparatus (10) includes a cell flow pathway (16) defined by an inflow tube (20) for delivering cell fragments from a cell sample (14) to a sample port (26). The sample port (26) is in fluid communication with a tissue cassette (30) having attached thereto a filter (40). The cell flow pathway (16) is in communication with a reagent flow pathway (18) for delivering the reagents (82, 92, 102) through the sample port (26) to the cassette (30). The apparatus (10) is configured such that the application of pressure directs the cell fragments from the cell sample (14) through the cell flow pathway (16), and effects delivery of the reagents (82, 92, 102) through the reagent flow pathway (18). The apparatus (10) produces an embedded cell block having concentrated cells near the plane of the block to be sectioned in a quick and efficient manner.
