Patent CA-2669775-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMPSON DARCY
IPC: C02F11/125
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: An apparatus for separating liquid and solid components from a wet solid mixture comprises an auger provided generally co-axially within a cylindrical liquid permeable screen or sleeve and wherein the apparatus is oriented with an inlet end positioned lower than the outlet end. The outer diameter of the auger is generally close to the inner diameter of the sleeve. The inlet is adapted to receive the wet solid feed and load the feed on to the lower end of the auger. Axial rotation of the auger causes the wet solid material to be forced against the liquid permeable sleeve thereby forcing the liquid component through the permeable sleeve material. The solids component is discharged at the outlet end of the auger. The invention also provides a method of extracting liquids from a wet solid mixture.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for blocking calcium channels with a spider toxin Phoneutria nigriventer are provided. For easy identification the toxin will be sometimes generally referred to as Ph.alpha.-1B during the present description of the invention. The toxin comprises a 55-amino acid toxin having a molecular weight of approximately 6,017. This Ph.alpha.-1B spider toxin was found to block calcium channels within the nervous system. The synthetic gene responsible for producing this toxin has been designed and cloned. This gene and/or its derivative provide a mechanism by which the toxin can be produced using recombinant DNA expression technologies. The present invention further relates to methods of treating neurological diseases and pain by applying the isolated and identified toxins. The toxin Ph.alpha.-1B may provide beneficial effects on pain and certain neurological conditions including seizures, ischemic- hypoxic, CNS damage, and neurodegenerative disorders. It was also found that the toxins are effective as tags in probing calcium channels.

Title: Reduced-salt dairy product with improved taste
Inventor: HOUDIJK CATHARINA
IPC: A23L27/10
Filed: 2007-12-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a dairy product with reduced sodium, wherein a yeast extract comprising at least 30% w/w 5'-ribonucleotides, on the basis of sodium chloride free dry matter, is added to a dairy composition used in the production of dairy product with reduced sodium. Preferably, a yeast extract is used wherein the total amount of 5'-GMP plus 5'-IMP is at least 15% w/w on the basis of sodium chloride free dry matter. The method of the invention may advantageously be used since off-tastes are masked and salt perception is enhanced.

Title: Individual identification and transport system for use in the handling of killed furred animals and pelts from furred animals
Inventor: HEDEGAARD JENS
IPC: B65G17/20
Filed: 2007-11-26
Abstract: For reducing the very extensive manual labour in connection with the production of pelts, there is disclosed an individual identification and transport system for use in the handling of killed furred animals and fur pelts, namely mink and mink pelts on mink farms, pelt processing plants, collection and sorting centres, auction houses, tanneries, and with other processing of pelts from furred animals, which is characterised in that it comprises an electronically readable data media (6) for individual identification data (ID-data) for an actual furred animal, and where the electronically readable data media (6) is integrated in a transport and handling arrangement (2) which is inserted through the nostrils of a relevant furred animal immediately after the furred animal has been killed, said transport and handling arrangement (2) constituting a part of a transport and handling system for transport and handling of furred animals and pelts, and which remains together with the pelt from the time at which it is inserted into the pelt until this is processed into furs. By the combination of the system according to the invention with empty ing/filling stations and computer-controlled sorting plants, it thus becomes possible to reduce the amount of manual work for the fur farmer as well as at the auction houses.

Patent CA-2674920-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PALANKI RAVI
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2008-01-30
Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate assigning indices to link assignment blocks (LABs) communicated via a downlink. Indices in a first subset are allocated to shared LABs, which are decoded by a plurality of access terminals. Indices in a second subset are assigned to unshared LABs, which are each intended for a particular recipient access terminal. Assignment of an index for each unshared LAB can be based upon a hash of an identifier corresponding to an intended recipient access terminal and/or access terminal capabilities. Moreover, an access terminal can decode LABs based upon corresponding indices. LABs with indices in a first range can be identified as shared LABs and decoded. Further, the access terminal can determine a second range of indices corresponding to unshared LABs to decode; the second range of indices includes fewer than all indices corresponding to unshared LABs in a frame sent by a base station.

Title: Systems for self-balancing control of mixing and pumping
Inventor: DYKSTRA JASON D
IPC: G05D11/13
Filed: 2008-05-12
Abstract: Systems for controlling the in-feed and discharge rates of materials flowing into and out of a mixing process where one priority is to achieve a target mixture flow rate from the mixing process and another priority can be to achieve a target value for a mixture property. Actuators can be operated to control material in-feed rates, the mixture composition, and discharge rate, and can maintain a hold-up of the mixture in the mixing process. A total flow rate controller provides a control signal to a controller acting on the discharge rate and a controller acting on the in- feed rates. The mixture discharge flow rate can be automatically reduced from its desired target when the commanded rate of at least one of the materials exceeds its available supply rate as inferred from an inability to maintain the targeted value for the mixture property.

Abstract: A permanently attachable golf cart wherein, when the cart is collapsed, the two cart wheels fold flat underneath the golf bag, within the "foot print" of the golf bag. The cart legs, cart handle and the interconnecting linkages hang parallel or near parallel to the axis of the golf bag form one side of the bag. The golf cart, therefore, folds more or less within the envelope of the bag, adding marginally to it's length (by the width of the tow wheels) and width on one side only by the thickness of legs and the pull handle.   To unfold the cart, all that the user has to do is to swing the cart handle upwards. The cart legs spread out in front of the cart and the wheel forks, which carry the cart wheels, through various actuating linkages, are caused to rotate around their axes so that, in the open position of the cart, the two cart wheels at the end of the cart legs, come to rest in parallel planes, parallel to the direction of pull or push. Similarly, the cart is collapsed by simply swinging the cart handle downwards.
