Patent CA-2476663-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HASKELL GEORGE L
IPC: B01F27/96
Filed: 2004-08-04
Abstract: A portable mixing apparatus that employs disposable 5-gallon plastic buckets as containers for mixing mortar, grout, plaster and other materials. First and second motordriven rollers support the buckets at a downwardly sloped angle. A  separate mixing basket is placed within the buckets, and includes a plurality of blades that pass through the material as the bucket is rotated by the rollers. The leading roller is positioned lower than the trailing roller so as to engage the flexible wall of the bucket in an area where it is subject to outward pressure from the material during rotation. The rollers are provided with ribbed, non-slip covers having channels that accommodate water and debris on the exteriors of the buckets. The mixing basket is formed of a plurality of coaxial, longitudinally-spaced rings joined at their edges by longitudinal rods. The blades are mounted internal to the rings and extend generally parallel to the axis of the buckets, with the ends of the rods being angled in the direction of rotation. The drive rollers and motor are mounted in a frame having folding legs so that the assembly can be collapsed to a compact form for transportation or storage.

Title: Anticorps humains de ligand anti-hfas antagoniste, et fragments associes
Inventor: LANCASTER JOANNE SLOAN
IPC: A61P17/02
Filed: 2003-03-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne des anticorps humains, de préférence des anticorps humains recombinants qui se lient spécifiquement au ligand Fas humain (hFasL). Ces anticorps possèdent une affinité élevée pour hFasL, se dissocient de hFasL avec une vitesse faible et neutralisent l'activité du ligand Fas Ligand in vitro et in vivo. Un anticorps de l'invention peut être un anticorps de longueur complète ou une portion avec fonction de liaison antigénique. Ces anticorps, ou portions à fonction de liaison antigénique, sont utiles pour neutraliser l'activité du ligand Fas, par exemple chez un humain souffrant de troubles dans lesquels l'activité du ligand hFas est préjudiciable. L'invention concerne aussi des acides nucléiques, des vecteurs et des cellules hôtes destinés à exprimer les anticorps humains anti-hFasL recombinants, ainsi que les procédés de synthèse de ces anticorps humains recombinants.

The connector device (10) has a first sleeve member (32) having a first end (36) and a second end (38). The first sleeve member (32) has at the first end (36), a first attaching member (30) adapted to attach to the liquid container (12). The connector device (10) also has a second sleeve member (34) having a first end (48) and a second end (50). The second sleeve member (34) is movable axially with respect to the first sleeve member (32) from an inactivated position to an activated position. The second sleeve member (34) has a protuberance (66) on an inner surface of the second sleeve member (34). A  second attaching member (28) is attached on the second end (50) of the second sleeve member (34) and is adapted to attach to the second container (14). The second attaching member (28) has a sealing member (84). A piercing member (76) is positioned in the chamber and projects within the sleeve members (32, 34) for providing a fluid flow path from the first container (12) to the second container (14). The piercing member (76) is moveable from a first position in the inactivated position to a second position in the activated position wherein the piercing member (76) moves past the protuberance (66), the protuberance (66) preventing movement of the piercing member (76) back to the first position.

Abstract: A power system specifically designed to provide reliable electrical power to a telecommunication facility is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a number of proton exchange membranes (410) adapted to convert a fuel, such as hydrogen, to DC electrical power, a number of rectifiers (430 ) operable to convert AC electrical power received from an AC power source to DC power, and a number of capacitators (440) operable to maintain power during the time required to change between power sources. Both the output of the rectifiers and the output of the proton exchange membranes are coupled to th e capacitators. Initially, while the output of the proton exchange membrane rises to a predetermined level, power is supplied by the AC power source to the rectifiers and from the rectifiers to the capacitators and the telecommunications facility. Once it reaches the predetermined level, the output of the proton exchange membrane is supplied to the capacitators and t he telecommunications facility and power is no longer received from the AC powe r source.
