Patent CA-2381272-C (CA)
Title: Constant flow vane pump
Inventor: LUTOSLAWSKI JAROSLAW
IPC: F04C14/22
Filed: 2001-06-29
Granted: 2011-04-26
Abstract: A variable capacity pump includes a housing and a rotatable rotor within the housing. The rotor includes radial slots to accommodate slidable vanes or rotor blades, wherein the vanes are urged outwards by centrifugal force into contact with the inner surface of a surrounding cam ring. The cam ring is surrounded on one end by a pressure chamber including a piston under hydraulic pressure, and on the other end by a seated spring. By controlling the pressure distributed to the pressure chamber, the position of the cam ring with respect to the rotor may be changed to automatically vary the displacement of the pump in response to a pressure differential across a restriction orifice, thereby regulating the output flow to be constant over a defined speed range.

Abstract: A photogrammetric measurement system is positioned at a vantage point to detect and calibrate its reference frame to the external reference frame demarcated by a light-reflecting retroreflective target dot (602) on a spherical target (600). A tetrahedron framework with the spherical target (600) mounted on one of the vertices serves as a reference target (400) that is placed in front of a non-contact sensor (240) to be calibrated. The photogrammetric measurement system reads and calibrates the position of the retroreflective target dot (602) while the structured light of the sensor (420) is projected onto the framework of the reference target (400). The structured light intersects with and reflects from the reference target (400), providing the non-contact sensor (240) with positional and orientation data. This data is correlated to map the coordinate system of the non-contact sensor (240) to the coordinate system of the external reference frame.

Abstract: A method and system that uses a computer system as a telemicroscope. A plurality of images of a specimen is captured (Digital camera, scanner, video camera). The images correspond to t he entire specimen and a plurality of segments of the specimen (Multiple linked images). The high-resolution images corresponding to said plurality of segments have different magni-fication levels and locations (magnifying glass effect); a linking map is generated between said images (Multiple linked images). The linking map comprises information regarding geographical location of the images in relation to the specimen's structure (Image analysis measurement); and images and said linking map are transmitted to a remote user via a computer network thereby allowing the user to view the images with different magnification levels without compromising in image clarity (Computer station one and computer station two). The transmitted images are viewed in a dynamic manner , permitting the user to navigate, enlarge, measure, compare, annotate and exam the digitized images on a virtual slides displaye d on a computer screen (Image analysis measurement). The operation of the system closely mimics that of a light microscope.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods of expanding a portion of a tubular are provided. The expansion apparatus includes a rotary expander for expanding an expandable tubular. A spline assembly is provided for coupling the rotary expander to a motor disposed on a work string. The spline assembly allows the rotary expander to be rotated by the motor and move axially relative to the motor. The rotary expander includes two rows of rollers for expansion against the tubular. The position of the rollers on the first row is skewed in one direction relative to the longitudinal axis. The rollers on the second row are skewed in an opposite direction. When actuated, the skew angle of the rollers will cause the expander tool to move axially. Alternating actuation between the two rows of rollers causes the expander to move in opposite axial directions during expansion.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à des antigènes HSV utiles dans la prévention et dans le traitement de l'infection HSV. L'invention concerne aussi des épitopes dont on a confirmé qu'ils sont reconnus par les lymphocytes T dérivés des lésions de l'herpès. Les lymphocytes T présentant une spécificité pour les antigènes de cette invention ont démontré une activité cytotoxique contre les cellules chargées d'épitopes de peptides à codage viral et, dans de nombreux cas, contre les cellules infectées par le HSV. L'identification des antigènes immunogènes responsables de la spécificité des lymphocytes T fournit de meilleures stratégies thérapeutiques et prophylactiques antivirales. Des compositions contenant des antigènes ou des polynucléotides codant des antigènes selon l'invention permettent d'obtenir des vaccins efficacement ciblés pour la prévention et le traitement des infections HSV.
