Title: Fatty acid transport proteins
Inventor: LODISH HARVEY F
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1999-01-14
Abstract: A family of fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs) mediate transport of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) across cell membranes into cells. These proteins exhibit different expression patterns among the organs of mammals. Nucleic acids encoding FATPs of this family, vectors comprising these nucleic acids, as well as the production of FATP proteins in host cells are described. Also described are methods to test FATPs for fatty acid transport function, and methods to identify inhibitors or enhancers of transport function. The altering of LCFA uptake by administering to the mammal an inhibitor or enhancer of FATP transport function of a FATP in the small intestine can decrease or increase calories available as fats, and can decrease or increase circulating fatty acids. The organ specificity of FATP distribution can be exploited in methods to direct drugs, diagnostic indicators and so forth to an organ such as the heart.

Patent CA-2322608-A1 (CA)
Title: An optical connector having a one-piece housing
Inventor: DRISCOLL ELIZABETH J
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a connector for terminating an optical fiber.  The connector comprises a one-piece housing, a ferrule assembly and an insert. The insert has keys formed thereon that are adapted to mate with keyways formed in the housing. The housing has a first opening formed therein that first receives the ferrule assembly and then the insert and a second opening opposite the first opening. The end of the ferrule assembly that holds the end of the optical fiber protrudes through the second opening. The insert has a flange thereon that has two oppositely located flat surfaces and two oppositely located keys. The keys each have a chamfered surface. The keys and the flat surfaces of the flange provide the flange with a substantially rectangular cross-section. The first opening formed in the housing has a substantially square cross-section. When the insert is inserted into the first end of the housing, the substantially square cross-section of the opening aligns with the oppositely located flat surfaces of the flange to thereby cause the keys of the flange to align with the keyways formed in the surfaces of the housing. The chamfered surfaces of the keys deflect the sides of the housing outwardly as the insert is inserted into the housing. The keys of the insert are then received by the keyways formed in the housing to lock the insert into place within the housing.

Patent CA-2329823-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KROM THOMAS J
IPC: H02B1/56
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: A switchboard for mounting and supplying electrical power to a plurality of circuit breakers has all the breakers are mounted on one side of a vertical power stack. The power stack has vertical buses to which the breakers are connected. Insulators and spacers provide air ventilation paths through the power stack. The main bus connecting members on the other side of the power stack from the breakers and are spaced apart vertically to allow for improved heat dissipation. By using vertical bus connectors, the bus connecting members may be connected to through bus connectors at any height on the back of the switchboard. The main bus connecting members are in a vertical chimney for improved heat dissipation. The circuit breaker at the highest location (the "A" phase) has the highest temperature and in the present invention, the main bus connecting member for the A phase is in the highest position to place it closest to the heat source and thereby improve the heat conduction away from the breakers. The improved air flow design allows for an increased height of the assembly and the mounting of breakers of any size to be mounted in any location on the powerstack. The location of the breakers on one side of the power stack allows the switchboard to be narrower, freeing up room for other devices. The depth of the enclosure is reduced due to the improved heat conduction.

Title: Packaged food product including an added liquid and process for making same
Inventor: MIZE JAMES A JR
IPC: B32B27/08
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: A packaged product comprises a boneless food product comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of meat and cheese. The food product has added liquid thereon, for example brine which has been injected into (and is exuding from) a meat product, or brine in which cheese has been soaking. The film article surrounds the boneless food product, and is in contact with both the boneless food product and the added liquid. The film article exhibits a Standard Drop Test - Boneless failure rate of less than 60 percent. A packaging process involves placing the boneless food product into a film article, which may be a bag, pouch, or casing, the boneless food product having added liquid thereon. The added liquid on the surface of the meat product contaminates an inside surface of the film article which is to be sealed. The film article is then sealed across an open end thereof, the seal being made through the contamination on the inside surface of the meat product. The resulting film article exhibits a Standard Drop Test- Boneless failure rate of less than 60 percent.

Title: Anti-theft device for a motor vehicle
Inventor: FRATTAROLI GREGORY E
IPC: B60Q9/00
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: This invention relates to an electronic anti-theft device for a motor vehicle.  The device simulates the operation of a security alarm system. To give the appearance that a motor vehicle is equipped with a security alarm system, it is common to use a light-emitting diode, or a similar light-emitting mechanism, ("LED"), installed, possibly with the aid of an LED holder, at the vehicle's steering wheel column, dashboard,.floor console or another highly visible location. The LED is powered by the vehicle's battery and, while activated, flashes on and off to deter thieves.  The LED remains activated or a switch is incorporated for manual activation and deactivation.  Alternatively, by splicing into the vehicle's ignition wires, the LED is automatically, activated while the vehicle's ignition system is off and, deactivated while the ignition system is on. The present invention comprises an improved means of installing the LED such that it is automatically, activated while the motor vehicle's ignition system is off and, deactivated while the ignition system is on, without having to splice into the vehicle's ignition wires. Furthermore, the invention incorporates either a fuse or a circuit breaker to guard against a circuit overload and means by which to adjust the characteristics of the LED's flash. Finally, the invention is compatible with the actual LED, and any related assembly thereto, that forms part of the security alarm system supplied by the vehicle's manufacturer.
