Patent CA-2665324-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAID NAJEEB
IPC: C09B23/06
Filed: 2007-10-04
Abstract: Disclosed are reactive polyfluoro benzoxazole polymethine dyes that are useful for labelling and detecting biological and other materials. The dyes are of formula (I): in which X is selected from the group consisting of -O-, -S- and at least one of groups R1 and R2 is the group -L-Rx or -L-Rp, where L is a linking group, Rx is a group suitable for covalent attachment of the dye to a component and Rp is a component; and at least one of groups R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 comprises fluorine. The use of polymethine dyes substituted by fluorine and having additional substitution by sulphonic acid groups, for labelling biological target molecules results in a labelled product in which there is reduced dye-dye aggregation and improved photostability, compared with cyanine dyes having no such substitutions.

Title: Stuck-out
Inventor: SAUERZOPF RICK
IPC: B60C27/02
Filed: 2009-06-26
Abstract: My invention is called the 'Stuck-Out' and is used in the event that a vehicle gets stuck in the snow, ice or mud. It is a traction device which is unlike any other as it does not go around a tire but connects to the portion of the tire that extends above the snow or mud. It is secured along the center line of the tire with a 'claw' type of hook connected to each side of the wheel with a center clamping devise to fasten the 'claws' to the tire. Each hook is comprised on an inner surface which is in contact with the tire with traction elements facing the outside. Traction devices' would be designed for both snow and mud.  A snow application would call for a series of cleats or sharpened bars where a mud design would be more of a series of paddles. The entire device is of a narrow design such that it can be clamped onto the tire along the center line. It must be noted that the tire must have approximately 3 inches on both sides of the center line in order to attach the 'Stuck-Out'. Once installed the vehicle can simply 'walk' its way out then the reusable devise can be simply removed by a quick clamp devise.

Abstract: An industrial cleaning system 10 that produces and distributes an aqueous ozone solution is described. The system 10 includes an ozone generator 240 for generating ozone gas, which is injected by an injector 310 into a supply of water to form the aqueous ozone solution. A reaction vessel 350 receives the aqueous ozone solution from the injector 310 as the reaction vessel 350 reduces the bubbles of ozone gas in the aqueous ozone solution to increase the oxidation reduction potential of the aqueous ozone solution. The reaction vessel 350 includes a conical-shaped surface 385 having two or more edges 380 or ridges 382. The conical-shaped surface 385 defines a generally hollow interior 388. An inlet port 355 is in fluidic communication with a supply of an aqueous ozone solution to supply the aqueous ozone solution to the conical-shaped surface 380. Nozzles 360 direct water under pressure at the conical-shaped surface 380, and the water mixes with the aqueous ozone solution from the inlet port 355. An outlet 390 is in fluidic communication with the industrial cleaning system 10. A method of making an aqueous ozone solution is described. The reaction vessel 350 is in fluidic communication with a supply of a first aqueous ozone solution. The first aqueous ozone solution is directed to the reaction vessel 350. Water is directed to the reaction vessel 350, and the water and the first aqueous ozone solution are mixed to form a second aqueous ozone solution. Compositions for aqueous ozone solutions are also described. The aqueous ozone solution contains approximately 1 part by volume water mixed with approximately 4 parts by volume to approximately 9 parts by volume of the first aqueous ozone solution to form the second aqueous ozone solution that has an oxidation reaction potential of up to approximately 2.6 and having an ozone concentration of up to approximately 20 ppm.

Abstract: Provided herein are composite passive layers for ultrasound transducers having acoustic properties that can be easily tailored to the needs of the transducer application using current micro fabrication techniques. In an em-bodiment, a passive layer comprises metal posts (633a, 633b) embedded in a polymer matrix or other material (637). The acoustic properties of the passive layer depend on the metal/polymer volume fraction of the passive layer, which can be easily controlled using current micro fabrication techniques, e.g., integrated circuit (IC) fabrication techniques. Further, the embedded metal posts provide electrical conduction through the passive layer allowing electrical con-nections to be made to an active element, e.g., piezoelectric element (610a, 610b), of the transducer through the passive layer. Because the embedded metal posts conduct along one line of direction, they can be used to provide separate electrical connections to different active elements in a transducer array through the passive layer.

Abstract: A system and method for quadrangulating a triangle mesh is taught herein.  After constructing an as smooth as possible symmetric cross field satisfying a sparse set of directional constraints (to capture the geometric structure of the surface), the mesh is cut open in order to enable a low distortion unfolding. Then, a seamless globally smooth parametrization is computed whose iso--parameter lines follow the cross field directions. Notably, sparsely distributed directional constraints are sufficient to automatically determine the appropriate number, type and position of singularities in the quadrangulation. Both steps of the algorithm (cross field and parametrization) can be formulated as a mixed-integer problem which is solved very efficiently by an adaptive greedy solver, in order to generate high quality quad meshes in a fully automatic manner.
