Patent CA-2422618-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved electrical panel access and control apparatus including true emergency stop and power buss lockout
Inventor: MOCERI ANTHONY
IPC: H01H9/22
Filed: 2003-03-19
Abstract: An improved electrical panel design provides a modular, power-reliable, buss-lockout and true emergency-stop capabilities. Through the use of an interface, the approach eliminates numerous outdated, if not antiquated, parts, including safety locks, mechanical disconnect switches, E-stop safety relays, and safety programmable controllers. The modular panel design saves interior panel space, permitting the use of single-door access, in some cases. Panel doors cannot be opened with live electricity without some form of electronic authorization, and a record of access is stored for future reference. Power may not then be reactivated with the doors opened, thereby virtually eliminating disconnect related accidents. Automatic shut down further occurs with a plant network emergency, ground-fault interruption, or panel door violation. Other benefits of the approach include the capability of local programming, visual (color) display of system status and diagnostic display in conjunction with card/code lock-out access. The invention may be deployed in any number of environments, including a wide variety of industrial applications, such as factory lines, loading docks, and so forth.

Title: Membrane switch venting arrangement for washing appliance
Inventor: MIILU JOHN HENRY
IPC: D06F34/34
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: A membrane switch incorporated in a control panel of a domestic washing appliance is vented through a labyrinth venting arrangement composed of a long, small diameter, twisting passage, including concentric arcuate sections and an intermediate portion. The venting arrangement establishes an effective barrier to fluids and other moisture, while accommodating the free passage of gases. In the most preferred form, the labyrinth venting arrangement is formed by cutting a channel into a supporting plastic assembly and then adhesive bonding a control plate incorporating the membrane switch over the labyrinth feature to complete the passage. One end of the passage is open to atmosphere by way of a slot in the supporting plastic assembly, while the other end joins the venting path with the membrane switch.

Title: Wound roll vibration detection system
Inventor: BETTENDORF ROBERT
IPC: B65H18/00
Filed: 2001-12-14
Abstract: An improved system for detecting and controlling vibration of a wound roll (18) includes a programmable controller (50) to which the line speed of a web, diameter of the wound roll and vibration of the wound roll feedback is provided. The wound roll rotational frequency from the line speed and diameter feedback is computed and used to filter the vibration feedback so the components of the vibration due solely to the rotation of the wound roll are isolated. These components are provided to a level detector (84, ll6) which decelerates the winding machine when a predetermined vibration level is reached. The rotational frequency may be used to calculate coefficients for a band pass filter (80) which filters vibration feedback. Alternatively, a Fast Fourier Transform analysis may be performed upon the vibration feedback and the rotational frequency used as a pointer to identify the amplitude of the component due to the rotation of the wound roll.

Title: Isolation of neural stem cells using gangliosides and other surface markers
Inventor: KLASSEN HENRY
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2002-04-22
Abstract: During the growth and study of NSCs, a range of molecules present on the surface of multipotent neural stem and progenitor cells (NSCs) were identified. These markers were identified using a number of human and murine neural stem cell lines, including retinal stem cells (RSCs). The NSC-specific markers identified included gene products as well as non-protein molecules and sugar epitopes not directly coded in the genome. Together with surface markers which were determined to be absent from the surface of hNSCs, the molecules described herein provide a means to enrich for neural stem cells, or neural progenitor subpopulations, particularly using combinatorial cell sorting strategies. These same molecules also represent targets for pharmacological manipulation of NSC populations and subpopulations, both in vivo and ex vivo.  Furthermore, these molecules provide potential targets for therapeutic manipulation of other neural precursor-related cell types including malignant conditions as well as other diseases originating from, or preferentially affecting, various uncommitted or replication-competent cell types.
