Patent CA-2255843-C (CA)
Inventor: SCHELLONG LIESELOTTE
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 1997-05-30
Granted: 2004-07-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for determining an analyte in a sample containing free haemoglobin. Determination is performed by optical measurement and the value measured for the analyte concentration is corrected by calculation. Said process is particularly suitable for determination of the parameters of total protein, iron and albumin in a medical sample, e.g. in a serum or plasma sample. The measured value for the analyte concentration is corrected by the following steps: (a) measurement of the blank value of the sample to be analysed; (b) measurement of the blank value of a reference value free of haemoglobin;  (c) measurement of the uncorrected value for the analyte concentration; and (d) correction of the value obtained in step (c) by correlation with the values obtained in steps (a) and (b) to obtain the corrected value for the analyte concentration.

Title: A container with a structural improvement
Inventor: HO STANLEY
IPC: B67D7/78
Filed: 1999-06-10
Granted: 2000-12-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a container with a structural improvement. The improvement comprises one transparent hollow vessel, at least one circular dividing board and at least one reservoir for containing either liquid and/or solid, wherein the transparent hollow vessel has a first end and a second end, the first end further comprising a threaded sleeve, the second end of the transparent hollow vessel at an appropriate location having a water intake opening. The second end of the transparent hollow vessel is matingly-fitted with the circular dividing board, wherein the center of the circular dividing board has an opening to receive a dispensing tube, the dispensing tube positioned between the opening of the circular dividing board and the threaded sleeve of the first end of the transparent hollow vessel. The reservoir is matingly-fitted and positioned below the transparent hollow vessel. The transparent hollow vessel can contain various decorative items, various water, oil, liquids, colored or clear can be injected into the transparent hollow vessel through the water intake opening located at the second end of the transparent hollow vessels, taking advantage of the fact that the colored oil has a higher density than water, thus causing the colored oil to be positioned below the water. The various decorative items must be denser than water but less dense than the coloring agent for the various decorative items to remain afloat about the coloring agent, providing an aesthetic effect. In addition, the reservoir can contain cleansing solution such as shampoo, detergent, or lotion, and a fluid delivering tube is disposed within the dispensing tube to push the cleansing solution out of the reservoir into a user's hand through the dispensing tube. Accordingly, the present invention provides a utilitarian purpose as well as being aesthetically pleasing.

Title: Method and apparatus for photometric analysis of chlorine dioxide solutions
Inventor: CAMPBELL KURTLAND SCOTT
IPC: G01N21/61
Filed: 2000-03-01
Granted: 2012-11-06
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus for photometrically analyzing a dilute solution containing chlorine dioxide is provided. The method includes introducing a sample flow into a conduit of a chlorine dioxide analyzer. At least one light emitting diode, in communication with the sample flow, is turned on and off to pass a light beam through the sample. Upon passing through the light beam through the sample the unabsorbed light is received onto a beam splitter which separates the light into a transmitted and a reflected light. The transmitted light is directed through a filter to a first detector which measures the low concentration chlorine dioxide and the reflected light is directed to a second detector which measures a high concentration of chlorine dioxide.

Title: System for frame leveling and stabilizing a forklift
Inventor: MESSENGER JOHN E
IPC: B66F9/075
Filed: 1999-08-04
Granted: 2008-06-10
Abstract: A system (10) is provided for leveling and stabilizing a forklift vehicle (11) having a frame (12) and at least one and preferably two axles (14a, 14b) pivotally connected with the frame (12). The system (10) includes a frame leveler device (16) including a hydraulic cylinder (18) extending between the frame (12) and the front axle (14a) and configured to move the frame (12) with respect to the axle (14a).

Title: Cartouche de manipulation de fluide integree
Inventor: PETERSEN KURT E
IPC: C12M1/33
Filed: 1998-12-24
Granted: 2007-09-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne une cartouche (101) permettant de séparer un analyte d'un échantillon de fluide, cette cartouche comprenant un orifice (103) pour échantillon et un passage d'écoulement pour échantillon, ce passage traversant le corps de cette cartouche depuis ledit orifice. Ce passage d'écoulement pour échantillon comprend au moins un constituant à écoulement continu (122), par exemple un papier filtre ou une puce microfabriquée, destiné à capturer l'analyte souhaité à partir dudit échantillon, lorsque ce dernier traverse la cartouche. Cette cartouche présente par ailleurs un passage d'écoulement pour élution, qui permet l'écoulement d'un fluide d'élution à travers ledit composant (122), et ainsi la libération de l'analyte capturé, depuis le constituant jusqu'au fluide d'élution. Ce passage d'écoulement pour élution diverge du passage d'écoulement de l'échantillon après avoir traversé ledit constituant (122). Des régulateurs de débit (41A et 41B) dirigent l'échantillon de fluide restant dans une chambre à résidus (139), après que ledit échantillon traverse le constituant (122) et dirige le fluide d'élution et l'analyte élué vers une chambre à réactif (141) et une chambre de réaction (143). La cartouche à flux continu de cette invention permet donc de traiter rapidement un échantillon de fluide dont le volume est supérieur à celui de n'importe quelle zone interactive située à l'intérieur de cette cartouche, et ainsi de détecter de faibles concentrations d'analytes, par exemple un acide nucléique, selon une sensibilité améliorée.

Title: Stormwater treatment apparatus
Inventor: STEVER R RUSSELL
IPC: B01D17/00
Filed: 2001-01-18
Granted: 2009-12-08
Abstract: This invention relates generally to liquid purification and separation (Class 210) and, more specifically, to an apparatus for separation of pollutants in stormwater runoff from the runoff water. This apparatus utilizes gravitational separation and tortuosity, resulting from a plurality of baffles both perpendicular to and oblique to the primary water flow direction, to trap substances less-dense and more-dense than water. This invention is differentiated from prior art by improved resistance to pollutant remobilization, resulting from an iterative experimental hydraulic design process. In addition, this invention provides a degree of retention through volume-control that exceeds that provided by existing gravitational, sub- surface, stormwater treatment systems. This invention is intended to mitigate the impacts of stormwater runoff from urban areas on receiving environments, which have been documented extensively in engineering and scientific literature.

Abstract: Deactivating a switch in a handset when a user wishes to answer an incoming call or terminate a call. A sound card within a personal computer transmits a hook tone that is above the human hearing range to a transmitter section of the handset. When the switch is in the activated state, the handset re-transmits the hook tone back to the sound card which converts the hook tone to digital information so that the hook tone can be detected by software running in the personal computer.      When the manual switch is deactivated, the handset ceases to re-transmit the hook tone back to the sound card. The software detects the absence of the hook tone to determine if the handset is answering the incoming call. In traditional telephony terms, when the manual switch is deactivated, this is the offhook condition. When the manual switch is activated, this is the onhook condition. When the user is finished with the call and activates the manual switch, the handset again starts re-transmitting hook tone that causes the hook tone to be detected by the software via the sound card. Then, the software signals the other party on the call that the call has been terminated. Low-pass filters are utilized in the handset to block the hook tone from the receiver and transmitter sections of the handset. A headset is similarly designed to provide the same switching features as the handset.
