Title: Handheld mechanical adhesive segment applicator apparatus and method
Inventor: OBST ANGELA M
IPC: C09J7/00
Filed: 2003-12-02
Abstract: A handheld adhesive segment applicator apparatus for use in combination with carrier release tape having pressure-sensitive adhesive segments attached thereto is disclosed which has a mechanism interacting an indexing instrumentality on the carrier release tape to facilitate the dispensing of individual adhesive segments. The indexing mechanism consists of a plurality of patterned scores, cuts, or indentations located in the surface of the carrier release tape, thereby allowing for an advancement mechanism in the handheld adhesive segment applicator apparatus to engage the carrier release tape. The indexed adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape may thereby be dispensed by the handheld mechanical adhesive segment applicator apparatus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne le comptage efficace, rapide et précis de cellules vivantes par détection de colonies microscopiques dérivées de la division cellulaire <i>in situ</i> au moyen de l'imagerie grande surface. Les tests de comptage microbien de l'invention résolvent un problème important existant dans la microbiologie clinique et industrielle à savoir la longue période nécessaire à la détection par des méthodes traditionnelles tout en conservant des avantages clés des méthodes traditionnelles basées sur la culture microbienne. Certains modes de réalisation de l'invention concernent des procédés aseptiques non destructeurs destinés à détecter des microcolonies cellulaires sans réactifs de marquage. Ces procédés permettent de générer des cultures pures pouvant être utilisées dans l'identification et la détermination de la résistance antimicrobienne.
Patent CA-2463727-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MIZOBUCHI MANABU
IPC: C01B3/16
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: A catalyst for removing carbon monoxide (CO) in a hydrogen rich gas according to a water gas shift reaction is provided. This catalyst includes platinum and rhenium supported as catalyst metals on a rutile titania support. This catalyst provides a high CO conversion at a relatively low reaction temperature between 200 .Zcaron.and 300 .Zcaron. and is excellent in cost/performance due to a reduction in amount of supported platinum. It is preferred that a weight ratio of an amount of supported platinum to an amount of supported rhenium is in a range of 3:1 to 1:1, and particularly 3:2. For example, an apparatus using this catalyst is expected as a hydrogen source for a fuel cell of generating electricity from a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.

Title: Trailer loader/unloader with pullout section
Inventor: BROUWER GERALD A
IPC: B65G21/14
Filed: 2004-05-20
Abstract: An extendable conveying system for either loading product to or unloading product from a trailer includes an extendable section which defines a conveying surface. The system further includes a pullout section that defines a support surface.      The pullout section has an extended position and a retracted position. When the pullout section is in its extended position, its support surface at least partially extends from the conveying surface. The system further includes an energy-storing device connected with the pullout section and the extendable section. The energy-storing device stores energy as the pullout section is moved from either the extended ar retracted position to the other of the extended or retracted positions. The energy storing device then delivers energy to the pull-out section as the pull-out section is moved from the other of the extended or retracted positions to the initial of the extended or retracted positions.
Patent CA-2468604-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IBARRA FERNANDO
IPC: C09D11/30
Filed: 2002-12-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'impression selon lequel, pendant l'opération d'impression, un liquide d'impression jaillit par une buse étroite, et un liquide d'impression adapté à un tel procédé. L'invention concerne notamment une impression infalsifiable sur des papiers ou objets. Ce procédé d'impression et ce liquide d'impression sont caractérisés en ce que le liquide d'impression contient des nanoparticules excitables pour émettre la fluorescence ou la phosphorescence. Ces nanoparticules sont de petites particules cristallines qui peuvent, automatiquement ou lorsqu'elles sont mélangées à des dopants, émettre une fluorescence ou phosphorescence. Certains points (10, 12) peuvent être imprimés par un liquide d'impression contenant ces nanoparticules. En raison de leur petite taille de 1 à 1000 nanomètres, de préférence de l'ordre de 300 nanomètres ou beaucoup plus petit, en fonction du diamètre de buse, il y a risque d'obturation des buses à jets d'encre très étroites. Les plages de fréquences d'émission d'excitation et de fluorescence sont à bande étroite de telle manière que, pour une commande de sécurité de l'impression, l'excitation ou la détection spécifique aux longueurs d'ondes correspondante est nécessaire. La sécurité contre la falsification est ainsi accrue.

Title: Non-compliant balloon with compliant top-layer to protect coated stents during expansion
Inventor: WEBER JAN
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2002-11-15
Abstract: In order to minimize the potential for damage to bio-compatible and/or therapeutic-containing stent coatings, there is provided a compliant elastic sheath over layer between a non-compliant stent expansion balloon and an unexpanded stent, which is secured over the balloon with a securing crimp.  This stent deployment assembly, which is mounted on a catheter, is maneuvered through a patient's body to a desired deployment site and then inflated to expand the stent to the desired diameter. During expansion, the compliant elastic material between the stent and the non-compliant balloon prevents non-compliant balloon-induced damage to the stent's coating, as well as preventing degradation of the non-compliant balloon by, for example, stent-caused punctures. The deflated non-compliant stent expansion balloon and compliant elastic sheath are then withdrawn from the patient's body, leaving the deployed stent at the desired implantation site with its coating substantially intact.

Inventor: GRUETZMACHER RICHARD J
IPC: A45C11/26
Filed: 2004-06-22
Abstract: A level case includes a tubular body having a series of walls that define an internal cavity, and a cap that selectively closes the internal cavity. A  series of indentations are formed in the walls, and are configured to receive and engage the corners of a level received within the internal cavity. The internal cavity defines spaces between the level surfaces and the facing surfaces of the walls, to protect the level surfaces in the event the walls of the tubular body are subjected to forces that cause inward deformation of the walls. The cap is configured similarly to the tubular body, including indentations that receive the corners of the level. The cap is engaged over the opening of the tubular body so as to enclose a portion of the level that extends outwardly of the tubular body. The indentations in the tubular body are continuous throughout a majority of the length of the tubular body.
