Patent CA-2311763-C (CA)
Inventor: HANLEY EDWARD NATHANIEL JR
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 1998-11-24
Granted: 2014-01-21
Abstract: There is provided a method for growing human intervertebral cells. Disc tissue is surgically removed from a normal disc of a patient, the cells expanded by feeding with a cell stimulant such as a growth factor, or a cytokine or a bioactive agent to form monolayer primary cell cultures on a plastic mesh such as a nylon mesh. In the case of a growth factor, fetal bovine serum is preferred as it improves cell proliferation and production of appropriate extracellular matrix components. In another aspect of this invention, the monolayer primary cell cultures are seeded in alginate or agarose and fed again with the cell stimulant until three-dimensional cell cultures are formed. The cells are recovered from the alginate or agarose or from monolayer cultures. Re-implantation is carried out using bioresorbable carriers or cell suspensions.

Abstract: A molded plastic panel for covering an exterior building wall includes a laterally directed lead fin, a laterally extending groove below the lead fin, and a rearwardly directed middle wall between rows of simulated shingles, all for joining laterally adjacent panels. A side flange extending outwardly of the panel may also be included. The molded plastic panel preferably also includes at least one row of simulated shingles separated by a plurality of gaps each having a randomly varying width in order to camouflage spacings between adjacent panels that change because of thermal contraction and expansion. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the panel body includes a locking tab and a folding flange. The folding flange includes a locking lip for engaging a locking tab on an adjacent panel and a flexible hinge connecting the locking lip to the panel body. The flexible hinge allows the folding flange to be disconnected from the locking tab when replacing a single panel.

Title: Safety slip ram
Inventor: KAISER GARRY R
IPC: E21B33/06
Filed: 2000-09-21
Granted: 2006-11-21
Abstract: A pair of ram blocks are provided such that when they are actuated hydraulically to move together, they present an opening which has a series of gripping members downwardly biased. Removal of tubulars or tools from the well bore works against the bias to retract the grippers so that removal can be accomplished. However, if there is an accidental release, the bias pushes the grippers toward the tubular or tool to grip it to prevent loss into the well bore. The ram blocks can be retracted for run-in to the well bore.

Title: Low capacitance surge protector for high speed data transmission
Inventor: KOBSA PETER
IPC: H02H9/06
Filed: 1999-05-28
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: A surge protector circuit and method of protecting electronic equipment which do not load down a circuit at high frequencies and do not degrade a signal in high speed data transmission. A gas tube (2) is connected in parallel with low capacitance diodes (52, 54, 58, 60, 62, 66) and an avalanche semiconductor device (56, 64), such as a TVS. The diodes and the avalanche semiconductor clamp the voltage transient and allow the slower gas tube more time to fire, discharging the surge. The addition of the low capacitance diodes in series with the avalanche semiconductor, reduces the line-to-line and line-to-ground capacitances of the surge protector and keeps the surge protector circuit from loading down the rest of the circuit and degrading the signal.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, on démonte des glaces telles que les pare-brise de véhicule (16) collés sur un cadre de soutien (7) en plaçant d'abord près de la glace des dispositifs d'émission d'énergie lumineuse et en émettant ensuite de l'énergie lumineuse depuis ces dispositifs d'émission d'énergie lumineuse (2) à travers le pare-brise (16), ce qui a pour effet de détacher la glace de son cadre. On peut fournir l'énergie lumineuse par impulsions, selon un régime prédéterminé, au moyen d'une lampe à décharge ayant une intensité faiblissant rapidement ou d'un laser pulsé à onde quasi entretenue. La technique de démontage de glaces peut se fonder sur la dégradation thermique de la substance liante, sur le clivage de ladite substance à la surface ou en profondeur du corps de la glace ou sur une combinaison de ces procédés.

Abstract: A dispersion compensator has a linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating mounted at two ends of an elongated, channel-shaped heat distributor. The distributor has two thermo- electric coolers at two ends, a heating strip for uniform heating of the distributor, a temperature sensor mounted on the distributor in the middle of the grating region, and longitudinally variable heating means attached to the distributor and extending along its length for effecting a longitudinally varying heating of the grating region. The provision of the heating strip helps maintain linearity of the thermal gradient of the distributor while the longitudinally variable heaters facilitate relatively fast dithering of the temperature of the grating region.
