Patent CA-2201934-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KANNO MITSUYOSHI
IPC: A61L2/16
Filed: 1995-10-05
Abstract: An antimicrobial solid material having a satisfactory antimicrobial activity for a long term against sewage in any form of circulating, static and flowing waters or contacting portions thereof and a utilizing method thereof are provided.   An antimicrobial solid material as one embodiment of the present invention comprises both of an antimicrobial metal ion and an antimicrobial metal in a metal state. In general, it is believed that antimicrobial metal ions have a potent antimicrobial effect when they exist in a liquid to be treated with a certain concentration or more, but they are rapidly released and exhausted so that their antimicro-bial effects cannot last long. On the other hand, it is believed that the antimicrobial metal in a metal state does not have a prompt effect, but exhibits a certain bacterio-static and fungistatic effect continuously for a long term.  Therefore, the antimicrobial solid material containing both of the antimicrobial metal ions and the antimicrobial metal in a metal state thereof has both of a potent initial antimicrobial activity and an enduring bacteriostatic and fungistatic activity.

Title: Rigid reclosable bacon package
Inventor: SELZ MARK EDWARD
IPC: B65D75/32
Filed: 1997-05-01
Abstract: A shaped generally rigid, polymeric sealed package having an ordered set of bacon pieces is provided. The ordered pieces can be provided as multiple arrays of bacon strips, whether whole, partial or broken slices. Each array can include a plurality of bacon pieces with a flexible sheeting positioned between vertically adjacent bacon piece arrays. Corresponding slices from respective arrays are in general vertical alignment with each other so as to form multiple stacks of bacon pieces. A generally rigid cover or pedestal is releasably hermetically secured to a rigid tray or bubble. Package walls are substantially transparent so that the consumer can readily inspect, prior to purchase, multiple entire lengths of bacon slice surfaces. The package is especially advantageous when the bacon pieces are in the form of partially-to-fully-cooked slices or slice portions. The bacon pieces are supported in their ordered set configuration by engagement, directly or indirectly, with interior surfaces of the sealed package.

Inventor: BARTHALOW HENRY D
IPC: B66C23/82
Filed: 1997-09-22
Abstract: A transportable multi-purpose crane includes a platform having outriggers disposed at opposite ends thereof. A turntable is rotatably mounted to the platform between the outriggers on opposite ends of the platform, and has a center axis of rotation. A riser boom, having a first end and a second end, is pivotally mounted to the turntable at its first end, and the second end supports a first load carrying device. The riser boom points in a first direction with respect to the center axis of rotation, and is a telescoping boom. An upper boom, having a first end and a second end, has its first end pivotally mounted to the second end of the riser boom. The second end of the upper boom supports a second load carrying device. The upper boom points in a second direction, opposite the first direction, with respect to the center axis of rotation, and is a telescoping boom. By providing the riser boom and the upper boom such that the riser boom serves as a counterweight when the second load carrying device carries a load and such that the upper boom serves as a counterweight when the first load carrying device carries a load, the crane does not need a separate counterweight.

Title: System and method for adaptive routing on a virtual path broadband network
Inventor: HOLENDER WLODEK
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1996-07-11
Abstract: A general dimensioning method and system for allocating limited transmission resources to virtual paths and virtual networks on a physical network given offered traffic on each virtual path or virtual link. A hierarchical structure is defined with a layer of one or more virtual paths on top of a layer of physical network elements (Fig. 8), and optionally, an intermediate layer of virtual networks. The virtual path dimensioning problem is solved using the Entropy Rate Functional as a blocking measure (1304-1310). The loads on the various links are balanced by equalizing blocking probabilities and the optimal allocation of physical resources is determined (Fig. 13).

Abstract: For each quote entered into a computerized anonymous trading system, the system determined if it is waiting to be "hit" (would be matched with the first hit of a predetermined size) at a substantial number of trading floors, and if so, notifies the trader originating the quote. The substantial number of floors is preferably expressed as greater than a predetermined percentage of the available trading partners with whom credit has been established on a bilateral basis, and is preferably greater than 25 %. In an alternate embodiment, the system provides a graphical display to the market maker originating a particular quote indicating how many trading floors are poised to hit that particular quote, and/or a numeric display indicating a price that would be Hittable by a predetermined number or percentage of available trading partners.

Patent CA-2248185-A1 (CA)
Title: Lens and associatable flow cell
Inventor: POLLAK VICTOR A
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1997-03-19
Abstract: Improvements in a biosensor of the type having reservoirs or wells for analyzing a biological liquid are disclosed. A biosensor (190) includes a waveguide (164) placed between a plurality of members such as plates (100, 186), at least one of the members (100) being formed to define the walls (132, 134, 136) of the reservoirs where the liquid is biologically analyzed. The walls of the reservoirs are made of an inert, opaque material such as a metal. Although the biosensor may include a gasket (162), the gasket is associated with the members and waveguide in such a way (e.g. by recessing the gasket into a channel formed into a metal plate) so that the gasket does not form any significant portion of the reservoir wall. Waveguides of varying composition (e.g. plastic, quartz or glass) may be associated with the members to form the biosensor. The metal plate of the biosensor has input and output ports for infusing, draining, or oscillating the liquid to be analyzed in the reaction reservoir. Also disclosed is a sled-shaped waveguide associated with a rear lens to couple light out of the waveguide to serve as a quality control measure thus insuring that the biosensor is properly placed and that the light is working.

Patent CA-2250917-A1 (CA)
Title: A hall effect plasma thruster
Inventor: BARANOV V I
IPC: H05H1/54
Filed: 1997-03-31
Abstract: In a Hall effect thruster (3A), especially for use in manoeuvring satellites (1A), a stream or plume of ions, used to produce the thrust, is deflected, by appropriate adjustment of a magnetic field, so as to steer the satellite or other vehicle. The channel (20), along which the ions are accelerated, is preferably flared outwardly at its open end so as to avoid erosion which would otherwise be caused by the deflection. The adjustment of the magnetic field is preferably achieved by dividing an outer magnetic pole, surrounding the channel (20), into separate sectors and winding individual electric coils (18, 19) around the sectors. Control of the current through these individual coils (18, 19) is used to make the appropriate adjustments of the magnetic field.
