Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés permettant de diagnostiquer et de surveiller des maladies et des troubles associés à la formation de produits finaux de glycolysation avancée, comme le diabète et le processus de vieillissement. En particulier, l'invention concerne la détection de l'hémoglobine modifiée par les produits finaux de glycolysation avancée, et un dosage améliorée de celle-ci. Le procédé consiste à diluer l'échantillon dans un tampon de dilution, lequel tampon de dilution comprend un détergent dénaturant la protéine anionique à une concentration suffisante pour dénaturer les produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine, sans interférer dans la liaison des réactifs aux produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine. Le tampon de dilution peut également comprendre un agent de surface non ionique à une concentration suffisante pour faciliter la détection des produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine; et un agent dénaturant à une concentration suffisante pour dénaturer les produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine et augmenter la sensibilité du dosage, sans dénaturer la liaison des réactifs aux produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine. Après avoir dilué l'échantillon dans le tampon de dilution, l'échantillon est placé en contact avec des moyens pour détecter la présence de produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine dans l'échantillon, et la présence de produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine dans l'échantillon est détectée par des moyens de détection. Des tampons de dilution et des matériels permettant de mettre en application l'invention sont également prévus. Dans des exemples spécifiques, le niveau de produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine dans des échantillons de sujets humains normaux et de rats normaux et de sujets diabétiques est détecté. Les résultats obtenus sur les échantillons humains mettent en évidence un degré de corrélation élevée entre le niveau de produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine dans un échantillon et le niveau d'hémoglobine A¿1c? dans un échantillon. L'invention est également utilisée pour détecter "l'effet d'aminoguanidine", qui se traduit par la diminution du niveau de produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine dans un échantillon prélevé sur un sujet traité par de l'aminoguanidine inhibitrice des produits finaux de glycolysation avancée dans l'hémoglobine.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour désulfurer par catalyse, jusqu'à atteindre des niveaux de soufre acceptables, des fractions provenant d'un craquage et présentant des limites d'ébullition similaires à celles de l'essence. Pour ce faire, on fait intervenir une étape initiale d'hydrotraitement pour désulfurer le produit initial, ce qui s'accompagne d'une certaine réduction de l'indice d'octane, après quoi le produit désulfuré est traité avec une zéolithe agglomérée sans liant, pour rétablir l'indice d'octane dégradé. Le procédé peut être utilisé pour désulfurer des kérosènes ayant subi un craquage thermique ou catalytique, tels que des kérosènes de craquage sur lit fluidisé, des kérosènes de pyrolyse et de cokéfraction, tout en conservant l'indice d'octane de manière à diminuer les besoins en réformat et en alkylate dans le mélange d'essence. Le catalyseur aggloméré présente des avantages sur le plan de l'activité et permet au procédé de se faire à basses températures.

Title: Low Pressure Warning for Hydraulic System of Platform Float Suspension
Inventor: BEBERNES THOMAS DARYL
IPC: A01D41/14
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a header or platform suspended from a main frame by a suspension permitting movement of the header between a lowered working position and a raised transport position.  The suspension includes single-acting float cylinders and a single-acting lift cylinder controlled by anelectrohydraulic control system including a programmable microprocessor in whicha signal representative of a minimum acceptable float pressure may be set. The microprocessor contains an electronic switch that couples a warning device lead to ground to effect energization of the warning device in response to the microprocessor receiving an electronic signal representative of a float circuit pressure below the minimum acceptable float pressure. In one embodiment, the microprocessor contains a timing device which is triggered whenever a control switch is connected to energize a "lower" signal lead the timing device being set to time out when sufficient time has elapsed to ensure that the header has reached its working position. The timing device works to suppress the signal representative of the float circuit pressure so that a premature energization of the warning device does not occur when a low float pressure is due to the header being elevated from the ground. In another embodiment, a normally open mechanical switch is connected in series with the electronic switch and is closed only when the header reaches its working position. Replenishing of float pressure to a desirable level may be done either manually or automatically once the low pressure warning device has been energized.

Patent CA-2200110-A1 (CA)
Title: Mechanical/electrical displacement transducer
Inventor: JACOBSEN STEPHEN C
IPC: G08C21/00
Filed: 1990-10-03
Abstract: Displacement measuring apparatus for measuring the displacement and movement of an object includes a sensor having an operative surface and circuitry for producing an electrical output signal whose value is dependent upon the area of the operative surface covered by an electrical/magnetic field producing member.  The apparatus also includes an elongate, flexible band capable of producing an electric/magnetic field, where the band is attached at one end to the sensor to roll over and cover or unroll from over and uncover the operative surface as the object whose displacement is to be measured is moved.  The value of the electrical output signal produced by the circuitry is thus dependent upon the area of the operative surface covered by the band and thus by the position and movement of the object.

Patent CA-2202925-A1 (CA)
Title: Differential gear
Inventor: MIMURA KENJI
IPC: F16H48/38
Filed: 1997-04-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a differential gear capable of constantly ensuring a stable differential motion restricting force even in the case of a low rotational speed. In the present invention, when there occurs a difference in rotational speed between output side rotary elements, rollers are allowed to roll while being in contact with the confronting faces of the input side and output side rotary elements. The rollers move along rotational trajectories of the output side rotary elements while being restricted by a holder element from rolling toward the direction inclined by a predetermined angle relative to the rotational trajectories of the output side rotary elements. Thus, there occurs a frictional force between the rollers and the contact faces therewith, which results in a resistance to restrict the differential motion, At that time, the rollers generate a sliding friction in the course of rolling, thereby always ensuring a stable frictional force based on a dynamic friction even at a low rotational speed.
