Title: Vehicle seat suspension unit
Inventor: CULLEY DONALD M JR
IPC: B60N2/54
Filed: 1994-03-17
Abstract: A damping unit (10) for a vehicle seat suspension unit has a brake slide plate (17) mounted on an anchor pin (11) on one side rail (111) of the bottom frame of the suspension unit, the anchor pin (11) being received in a non-circular hole provided with an O-ring (15). A transfer assembly (115) has a pivot pin (19) received in an elongate slot (21) in the brake slide plate (17), and brake washers (22), compressed by Belleville washers (24), are clamped between brackets (127) on the transfer assembly (115) and the brake slide plate (17).

Abstract: A  refrigeration  system  with  heat  reclaim  and  a method of operation to reclaim and put to use substantially all of the heat extracted from the compressor discharge gas. A valve connects the discharge of the compressors to either a remote  air-cooled  condenser  which  is  located  outside  a building or to at least one heat reclaim coil located inside the building so that the heat in the hot gas is recovered and used to assist in the heating of a building.  The heat reclaim coil could be incorporated in a heat exchanger to heat liquid such as  to provide hot water.   A pressure  control  device monitors the pressure in the refrigerant at an outlet of the heat reclaim coil and controls the pressure by directing the refrigerant from the outlet of the reclaim coil through valves whereby to reintroduce the liquid in the system to feed the evaporators or to bypass the refrigerant into the remote air-cooled  condenser  to  drop  the  pressure  thereof  prior  to reintroducing it into the system.

Patent CA-2169975-A1 (CA)
Title: Wire guide and optical fiber storage spool assembly
Inventor: ARNETT JAIME RAY
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1996-02-21
Abstract: A wire guide and optical storage spool assembly of this invention is adapted to engage with a patch panel housing optical fiber or conductive wire connectors. A wire guide has a substantially C-shaped part with a first side from which extend first and second angled members.  The first and second angled members have substantially L-shaped surfaces and the second angled member is capable of flexing toward the first angled member. In close proximity to the L-shaped surface of the second angled member, a cylindrical member is disposed. The first side of the C-shaped part also supports a locking member which is normally disposed with an end in close proximity to the second angled member so that the second angled member cannot be flexed in a direction toward the first angled member. However, the locking member is capable of flexing in a direction transverse to the direction in which the second angled member is flexed toward the first angled member, to clear a path in which the second angled member passes when flexed, preferably by pushing with a finger against the cylindrical member. When the second angled member is flexed, the first and second angled members can be inserted in respective apertures in the patch panel after which the second angled member can be released to engage the wire guide with the patch panel.  When the second angled member flexes toward its normal, unflexed position, the locking member is no longer obstructed from returning to its normal, unflexed position and accordingly does so.  Thus, the locking member prevents the second angled member from flexing toward the first angled member so that the wire guide cannot inadvertently release from the patch panel. The optical fiber storage spool has a base supporting a spool about which can be wound optical fibers connected by connectors in the patch panel.  To confine the optical fibers in near proximity to an outside surface of the spool, substantially L-shaped members are supported by the base and curve toward the spool.  Also, the spool has tabs extending outwardly from the spool which also tend to confine the optical fibers in near proximity to the spool. The storage spool has guides with arcuate surfaces that tend to direct the optical fibers wound on the storage spool toward respective connectors in the patch panel. Slide receptacles supported by the base, engage with respective slides at the second sides of the wire guides. The slide receptacles releasably lock into engagement with the wire guides so that the storage spool cannot inadvertently release from its supporting wire guides.  The storage spool also includes optical fiber cable holders against which optical fiber cables can be held using respective ties.

Patent CA-2177838-A1 (CA)
Title: A methodology for selecting superagonists, antagonists and superantagonists of human interleukin-6 based on receptor complex three dimensional modelling
Inventor: CILIBERTO GENNARO
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1995-12-13
Abstract: It is known that the ligands of the group of cytokincs similar to Interleukin 6 (IL-6), that is Oncostatin M (OSM), Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) and Interleukin 11 (IL-11) , induce the formation of a receptor complex of which the membrane molecule gp 130 is a part. The present invention refers to a methodology for selecting superagonists, antagonists and superantagonists of human interleukin-6 comprising the following operations: - comparing the amino acid sequence of bovine granulocyte colony stimulating factor (bG-CSF) with the sequence of said hormone; and - on the basis of the above comparison, formulating a three dimensional model of said hormone, which allows the identification of residues that form the site of interaction with the specific receptor (Site 1) and those that constitute the site of interaction with gp 130 (Site 2) respectively. The invention allows the identification of these sites in human interleukin-6 and the isolation of variants having, with respect to the wild type hormone, a greater affinity for the specific receptor (superagonists and superantagonists) or affinity for gp 130 reduced or abolished (antagonists and superantagonists). The figure shows a scheme illustrating the methodology applied to identify site 1 and site 2 in the case of human interleukin-6. The invention also describes the obtaining of specific superagonists and superantagonists of interleukin-6 and the use of superantagonists as low dose inhibitors of the growth of human myeloma cells dependent on wild type interleukin-6.

Patent CA-2178860-A1 (CA)
Title: Number portability using enhanced routing table
Inventor: WILLIAMS L LLOYD
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1996-06-12
Abstract: A method of providing number portability  for the treatment of calls from a calling party to a specific number of a called party is disclosed.   Once the dialed digits  are received at a switching office  serving the calling party,  a determination is made of whether  the call  is  directed  to  a  portable  number.    In  a  first embodiment, if the call is directed to a portable number, a TCAP query is launched from the originating office to an SCP. At the SCP, the dialed digits are translated to obtain  new  routing  information.  The  new  routing information, which is returned to the originating office is used  to  create  an  Initial  Address  Message  (IAM) containing  the  calling  and  called  party's  numbers  to enable  said  call  to  reach  said  terminating  office associated with the new routing information.  In a second embodiment, the new routing information is obtained from a  directory  number  table  resident  at  the  originating office.    If  the  dialed  digits  contain  an  area  code indicative  of  a  toll  call,  the  originating  office forwards the call directly to a tandem exchange,  where the determination is made of whether the dialed digits are associated with a portable number.

Title: Compounds for the treatment of disorders related to vasculogenesis and/or angiogenesis
Inventor: GAZIT AVIV
IPC: G01N33/577
Filed: 1995-02-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to organic molecules capable of modulating tyrosine kinase signal transduction and particularly KDR/FLK-1 receptor signal transduction in order to regulate and/or modulate vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. The invention is based, in part, on the demonstration that KDR/FLK-1 tyrosine kinase receptor expression is associated with endothelial cells and the identification of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as the high affinity ligand of FLK-1. These results indicate a major role for KDRJFLK-1 in the signaling system during vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.  Engineering of host cells that express FLK-1 and the uses of expressed FLK-1 to evaluate and screen for drugs and analogs of VEGF involved in FLK-1 modulation by either agonist or antagonist activities is also described. The invention also relates to the use of the disclosed compounds in the treatment of disorders, including cancer, diabetes, hemangioma and Kaposi's sarcoma, which are related to vascylogenesis and angiogenesis.
