Title: Paint roller cleaning device
Inventor: BASTIEN ALEX
IPC: B44D3/00
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: A cleaning device for cleaning a paint roller cover with a cleaning liquid emanating from a liquid pressure supply line. The cleaning device includes a generally elongated casing for receiving the paint roller cover. The casing is provided with a casing slot extending through the casing peripheral. A roller cover support assembly is mounted within the casing for rotatably supporting the paint roller. A liquid discharge assembly is attached to the casing for discharging the cleaning liquid into the casing along a path lying on a chord either of the paint roller cover of a turbine component mounted on a spindle shaft. pport structure is attached to the casing for supporting the latter on a supporting surface in a generally horizontal orientation. The casing support structure allows the casing to be supported on the horizontal surface in both a first and a second supporting configuration wherein when the casing is supported in the first supporting configuration the casing slot is positioned underneath the paint roller cover while when the casing is supported in the second supporting configuration, the casing slot is positioned in a geometrical plane intersecting the paint roller cover. In the first supporting configuration the liquid is allowed to drain out of the casing through the casing slot before it accumulates to the point of reaching the paint roller cover while when the casing is in the second supporting configuration the cleaning liquid is allowed to accumulate in the peripheral wall-to-roller cover spacing thus allowing at least a portion of the nap to soak in the accumulated volume of cleaning liquid.

Filed: 1998-10-30
Abstract: A method for assaying an analyte in a sample. The method comprising the step s of a) contacting the sample with material comprising a receptor which is present in a liposome and which liposome comprises a detectable functionalit y, said contact occurring under conditions resulting in binding of the receptor  to analyte if present before or concomitant with step b, wherein step b) consists of contacting the sample with an immobilised ligand for the recepto r said contact occurring under conditions resulting in binding of the receptor  to the ligand, with steps a and b being followed by c) separating the resulting immobilised ligand-receptor fraction and the receptor fraction present in solution and d) assaying the detectable functionality of the receptor in a fraction from step c) in a manner known per se for its detection. Suitably the receptor is being present in step a) in a concentration between 1 pM - 1 nM and the detectable funcitonality in step a ) is present in a concentration of 1 pM - 1 '1M and the immobilised ligand in step b) having a Kd for the receptor ~50 nM. The immobilised ligand should b e present in an amount required to capture 10-99 % of the receptors in the ass ay in the absence of analyte at a receptor concentration below the Kd of the immobilised ligand and receptor under conditions otherwise corresponding to those of the assay. The conditions and the detectable functionalities being selected such that a 0.1-10 % change in either the ligand-receptor fraction or in the free receptor fraction can be qualitatively or quantitatively detectable.

Abstract: The present invention provides for the electrochemical generation of ozone for use in "point-of-use" applications. The electrochemical ozone generators or systems of the present invention may be used to provide disinfected water, ozone-containing water, and/or ozone gas. Disinfected water may be produced by introducing ozone gas into a potable or purified water source for the purpose of disinfecting or controlling the microorganisms in the water source.  Ozonated water or ozone gas may be produced and provided for various anti-microbial and cleansing applications of the consumer, such as washing food, clothing, dishes, countertops, toys, sinks, bathroom surfaces, and the like.  Furthermore, the ozone generator may be used to deliver a stream of ozone-containing water for the purpose of commercial or residential point-of-use washing, disinfecting, and sterilizing medical instruments and medical equipment. For example, the ozone-containing water may be used directly or used as a concentrated sterilant for the washing, disinfecting, and sterilizing of medical instruments or equipment. Ozone gas may also be used in many of the foregoing examples, as well as in the deodorization of air or various other applications. The invention allows the electrochemical ozone generator to operate in a nearly or entirely passive manner with simplicity of design.

Patent CA-2364891-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAVARD DONALD D
IPC: B08B9/04
Filed: 2001-12-10
Abstract: A resilient scraper cup made from elastic material and intended for use in propelling a pipeline pig and/or scraping the interior of a pipeline having a predetermined inside diameter. Rather than the usual integrally formed cup used in pipeline servicing vessels, the invention proposes two segments, an inner and an outer segment. The two segments overlap each other but are freely separable from each other. Accordingly, when the outermost friction surface of the cup is worn out, the only part that requires replacement is the outer segment. Since the outer segment has thickness of only about 50% of than the inner segment, or carrier, the cost of such replacement is substantially smaller than replacement or refurbishing of the existing integrally formed cup.
