Patent CA-2194163-A1 (CA)
Title: Antibodies to lipoproteins and apolipoproteins and methods of use thereof
Inventor: KOREN EUGEN
IPC: C07K16/18
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: Compositions and methods using antibodies which are immunoreactive with specific apolipoproteins to determine the concentrations of lipoproteins such as HDL and LDL, and/or apolipoproteins in human blood, serum or plasma sample, are described. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are described that specifically bind to epitopes present in apolipoproteins and lipoproteins, enabling rapid and reliable determinations of levels of specific blood lipoprotein and/or apolipoprotein levels, including Apo B-100, Apo A-I, Apo A-II, Apo C-III, and Apo E, and thereby determination of relative ratios of HDL and LDL and LpaI  and LpaII. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions are strips of a solid phase material coated with one or more of the antibodies and are referred to herein as "dipsticks". The dipsticks specifically bind a lipoprotein or apolipoprotein when dipped into a protein sample. The amount of lipid associated with a bound lipoprotein or the amount of apolipoprotein bound on the dipstick is quantitated using an appropriate method, for example, by staining with a lipid stain or reaction wth a second labelled antibody. The intensity of the stain on the dipstick is proportional to the concentration of the lipoprotein lipid or apolipoprotein circulating in the blood and can be quantitated by comparison with standards containing konwn amounts of lipid.

Title: Cardiac valvular support prosthesis
Inventor: KHALID NAQEEB
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 1997-01-21
Abstract: The  invention  is  concerned  with  a  support prosthesis  for  a natural  human heart  valve  having  an annulus of generally oval configuration with a major axis and a minor axis and at least two leaflets stemming from the  annulus  and  each  moving  along  a  naturally pre-ordained path during systolic contraction or diastolic expansion.  The  support  prosthesis  according  to  the invention consists of an oblong, annular flexible member of a size  and shape  to  fit  against  the  annulus,  the member having a longitudinal axis and being made of a biocompatible material exhibiting elasticity only along the longitudinal axis so as to permit dilatation of the annulus  along  the major  axis  thereof,  in  response  to heamodynamic  and  functional  changes,  while preventing dilatation of said annulus along the minor axis thereof so that the path along which each said leaflet travels remains unaltered.  Because  of  its pliable nature,  the support prosthesis of the invention does not produce a systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. The use of such  a  support  prosthesis  prevents  dilatation  of  the annulus along its minor axis and thereby prevents non-closure  of  the  mitral  and  tricuspid  valves  during systolic  contraction.  During  diastolic  expansion,  the annulus can dilate along its major axis in response to the  increased  blood  flow  and  pressure  in  different physiological and pathological states.

Patent CA-2199050-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WODRICH TIMOTHY DIRK
IPC: A01C7/00
Filed: 1997-03-03
Abstract: An opener for use in varying ground conditions, ranging from no-till to conventional full tillage conditions, includes an adjustable down pressure control and a down pressure spring and tension link assembly which selectively provide a limited free float opener condition or a conventional down pressure spring controlled bias condition. A sleeve slidably received by the opener arm and mounted over the lower portion of the tension link assembly allows the opener to free float in loose soil conditions so that only the weight of the opener provides downward bias when the down pressure control is adjusted to a minimum condition. The opener is free to ride up and down to follow irregularities in the ground surface. In harder soil conditions such as those encountered in no-till farming methods, the down pressure control is adjusted to a position wherein an enlarged portion on the sleeve bottoms against the opener arm and the spring begins to compress so that the opener operates in the conventional spring biased mode. The sleeve allows increased downward movement of the opener to follow depressions in the soil.

Patent CA-2202882-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HONE RONALD D
IPC: B60C25/00
Filed: 1996-08-19
Abstract: A safety device (10) which can be retrofitted onto existing rim holding tire changers or provided as a feature of such devices by the original equipment manufacturer. Applicant's safety feature is a barrier, in the preferred embodiment a U-shaped steel tube (16), mounted to the tower (T) of the device.  The actuator for applying pressure during the bead seating process consists of two buttons (22, 24) on the opposite side of the barrier from the table top on which the tire and rim sit. To actuate the pressure during the bead seating step, both buttons (22, 24) must be depressed. This requires the operator to use both hands to actuate the system. The actuator is located on the opposite side of the barrier from the table top requiring the operator to walk behind the barrier to actuate the buttons (22, 24) thus preventing the operator's head from reaching over the table top.

Filed: 1996-02-21
Abstract: On mesure le déplacement d'un premier objet (6) par rapport à un second objet (28) au moyen des mesures différentielles d'un photodétecteur (17) et d'un dispositif d'évaluation (18) associé. Le photodétecteur (17) reçoit un faisceau de mesure d'un rayonnement émis par une source (9) par l'intermédiaire d'un réflecteur (5) fixé au premier objet (6) ainsi qu'un faisceau de mesure d'un rayonnement émis par une source (10) par l'intermédiaire d'un réflecteur (26) fixé au second objet (28). Les sources (9, 10) sont très proches l'une de l'autre et se trouvent dans le plan focal d'un objectif collimateur (13) que les deux faisceaux traversent. On réalise la mise au point de ces deux faisceaux sur le détecteur (17) au moyen d'une lentille de focalisation (21). Du fait que les deux faisceaux traversent les lentilles (13, 21), le mouvement de ces dernières n'affecte pas la mesure du déplacement. Les autres composants optiques qui servent à l'orientation et au guidage des faisceaux sont comparativement stables et n'affectent donc pas la mesure du déplacement.
