IPC: E04H4/12
Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: A method for maintaining swimming pool water fit for use and an apparatus for implementing the same which dispenses continuously, minimal but effective amounts of treatment chemical; such method includes the continuous addition of a solution of sodium hypochlorite at suitable levels known to destroy or diminish the growth of dangerous pathogens; the continuous introduction of a solution of sodium hypocholrite into the filtration system water at levels considerably higher than in the swimming pool itself so as to further diminish and destroy accumulated pathogens on the filter bed, said water being released into the swimming pool in sufficient force to provide for adequate mixing and attainment of sterilizing concentrations safe for human health; the continuous introduction of a solution of sodium hypochlorite into the pool water in such a manner as to maintain constant levels and chemically balanced pool water which will not harm the pool liner and filtration system and reduce the total chemical burden introduced into the pool water; the apparatus for dispensing sodium hypochlorite is to be mounted directly on the vacuum side of the pool's pump and consists of a mechanism to boost the vacuum created by the pool pump, a means to control the continuous flow of a solution of sodium hypochlorite originating from a suitable reservoir and a means to observe said flow.

Patent CA-2317996-A1 (CA)
Title: Flanged edge protector for window unit
Inventor: MILLER SCOT C
IPC: E06B7/00
Filed: 2000-09-12
Abstract: An edge protector for a fenestration product is integrally formed of a single sheet of corrugated paperboard that has been perforated, slit, scored, glued, and folded in a particular manner so as to be generally flat in overall configuration prior to being placed in use. At the time of installation, the protector is partially unfolded out of its flat plane to assume an overall generally transversely L-shaped configuration, having a pair of legs intersecting one another at right angles to form a receiving corner for the face and side margins of the product. One leg of the protector forms a flap that covers a marginal portion of the face of the product when the protector is fitted onto the product, while the other leg forms a second flap that covers a marginal portion of the sides of the product. A stiff, relatively short spacer flange comprising a double layer of the material glued together projects edgewise from the outside of the corner in the opposite lateral direction from the side flap to keep the face of the product spaced away from foreign objects. Wrapping of the protector around an outside corner of the product is facilitated by the provision of tear-out tabs embodied in the face flap so that the appropriate tab aligned with the corner of the product may be torn out to leave an empty notch in the flap at that location. The absence of material at the corner of the product eliminates the structural rigidity otherwise afforded by the face flap at that location to enable the protector to more readily bend around the corner.

Title: Wide field of view and high speed scanning microscopy
Inventor: OVERBECK JAMES W
IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: Wide angle, limited rotation, micro-lens scanning of DNA arrays, microscope slides, biological materials, etc., translated beneath the arc path of a micro-lens (18). Micro-lens (18), on low moment of inertia oscillating arm (19), while light source (24), detector (10, 95), and supplementary lenses (18b, 27) are stationary, achieve rapid, wide angle pixel-based microscopy. Aspheric micro-lenses achieve high N.A.. The preferred stationary light path extends to the axis of rotation (A) in plane parallel to the scan plane, at a substantial angle to the neutral position of arm (19). With arm position detected, the pixel data acquired from limited arc scans is converted by interpolation and timing to raster format. Dithered deflection of the light path upon the micro-lens (18) can straighten the scans. Auto focus raising and lowering stage (50) by actuator (44), while object (2) translates, enables rapid, wide range confocal microscopy. Transmission, reflection and fluorescence detection microscopes are shown.

Title: Preventing airway mucus production by administration of egf-r antagonists
Inventor: NADEL JAY A
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: Hypersecretion of mucus in the lungs is inhibited by the administration of an epidermal growth factor re-ceptor (EGF-R) antagonist. The EGF-R antagonist may be in the form of a small organic molecule, an antibody, or portion of an antibody that binds to and blocks the EGF receptor. The EGF-R antagonist is preferably ad-ministered by injection in an amount sufficient to inhibit formation of goblet cells in pulmonary airways. The de-granulation of goblet cells that results in airway mucus production is thereby inhibited. Assays for screening candidate agents that inhibit goblet cell proliferation are also provided.
Patent CA-2338934-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical switch
Inventor: IYER RAJIV
IPC: G02B6/35
Filed: 2001-02-28
Abstract: The present invention provides an optical switch or a large scale fiber-optical cross-connect switch wherein the light from the grouped input fibers is collected by a lens, a lens system, or mirror system, and imaged with a certain magnification to a plane. The plane is either a mirror when the system is operated in reflection, or a plane of symmetry when the system is operated in transmission. Before reaching that plane, the spatially separated beams are intercepted by a (1 or)2-D micro-mirror input MEMS array, where each mirror can deviate its dedicated input beam to any mirror on the output MEMS array. Each mirror on the output MEMS array compensates for angular tilt and deviates the beam to its dedicated output fiber.

Filed: 1999-12-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a tube-encased fiber grating includes an optical fiber (28) which is encased within and fused to at least a portion of a glass capillary tube (120) and a substantially transparent index-matching medium (122), such as an optically flat window, having an optically flat surface (126) adjacent to the tube (120). A substantially transparent index-matching intermediate material (e.g., UV transparent oil) (124) is used between the window (22) and the tube (120) to substantially eliminate the interface between the tube (120) and the medium (122). A  pair of writing beams (26, 34) are incident on and pass through the medium (122), the tube (120) and intersect and interfere in a region (30) on the fiber (28). Also, the width (Wb) of the writing beams (26,34) may be set to be less than the width (Woil) of the intermediate material (124) to eliminate surface damage (ablations) of the tube (120). Alternatively, the medium (122) may have a geometry to eliminate surface ablations (e.g., a collar shape) and/or to match the shape of the tube (120). More than one grating or pair of gratings may be written in the tube-encased fiber or one or more gratings may be formed in multiple fibers (28, 250) encased in the tube (120). Further, high intensity writing beams (26, 34) on the fiber (28) may be achieved by having the medium (122) have a predetermined thickness (T).
