Patent CA-2443867-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOY GARRY M
IPC: G01R11/04
Filed: 2003-10-02
Abstract: A preferred process comprises providing a pre-formed, substantially transparent window for a cover of an electrical-energy meter, and molding the cover from a molten resin that, when solidified, is substantially opaque. Molding the cover from a molten resin comprises causing a portion of the molten resin to contact a periphery of the window and allowing the portion of the molten resin to cool and thereby solidify so that the portion of the molten resin, upon solidifying, is molded over the periphery of the window and thereby seals and secures the window to the cover.

Title: Histone deacetylase inhibitors based on trihalomethylcarbonyl compounds
Inventor: LAN-HARGEST HSUAN-YIN
IPC: C07C45/00
Filed: 2003-05-21
Abstract: Histone deacetylase is a metallo-enzyme with zinc at the active site. Compounds having a zinc-binding moiety, for example, a trihalomethylcarbonyl group, such as a trifluoromethylcarbonyl group, can inhibit histone deacetylase. Histone deacetylase inhibition can repress gene expression, including expression of genes related to tumor suppression. Accordingly, inhibition of histone deacetylase can provide an alternate route for treatin g cancer, hematological disorders, e.g., hemaglobinopathies, autosomal dominan t disorders, e.g. spinal muscular atrophy and Huntington's disease, genetic related metabolic disorders, e.g., cystic fibrosis and adrenoleukodystrophy, or for stimulating hematopoietic cellsex vivo.

Title: Method and assembly for assessing relative degradation resistance of materials with laser
Inventor: JAYARAM SHESHAKAMAL H
IPC: G01N17/00
Filed: 2004-11-05
Abstract: To assess relative degradation resistance of different materials, one or more samples of each of the materials is irradiated with a beam of laser. The laser is chosen or tuned such that the laser beam has no wavelength sufficient to cause a photochemical reaction in material samples but the degree of irradiation is sufficient to degrade each material. A measure of degradation of each material sample is determined in consequence of the irradiation. The relative degradation resistance of each material is ranked based on these measures of degradation. In one approach, each sample may be irradiated until about the same pre-selected laser energy has been absorbed by the sample. In another approach, each sample may be irradiated for about the same time, while maintaining the irradiated portion of the sample at a same pre-selected temperature.
