Title: Dual mode carpet cleaning machine, solution, system and methods of use
Inventor: STEPHAN FRANK
IPC: C11D3/00
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: A dual mode carpet cleaning machine capable of being used in both a traditional deep cleaning mode and a fast drying surface cleaning mode. A  selection mechanism provides selective communication with different sets of application jets. One set of application jets delivers a first cleaning solution that penetrates deeply into a carpet. After agitation with a scrub brush the device removes the cleaning solution and unwanted soil through a vacuum nozzle. The other set of jets delivers a lower flow rate of a second cleaning solution that does not penetrate deeply into the carpet. In addition, a novel cleaning solution is disclosed for use with the machine in differing concentrations, depending on the desired application. The carpet cleaning solutions dry more quickly when applied to carpet than previous solutions; the combined performance of the system displays similar cleaning efficiencies to previous carpet cleaning machines but obtains significantly reduced drying times.

Title: Amylopectine hyperramifiee destinee a etre utilisee pour le traitement chirurgical ou therapeutique de mammiferes ou dans des procedes de diagnostic, et en particulier en tant quesuccedane de plasma
Inventor: SOMMERMEYER KLAUS
IPC: C08B35/00
Filed: 2002-08-06
Abstract: Utilisation d'amylopectine hyperramifiée qui possède un degré de ramification moyen situé entre > 10 et 25 % en moles et une masse moléculaire Mw de l'ordre de 40 000 à 800 000 daltons, et des dérivés de cette amylopectine dans des procédés de traitement chirurgical ou thérapeutique du corps humain ou animal ou dans des procédés de diagnostic, de préférence en tant que succédané de plasma. Les succédanés de plasma à base d'amylopectine hydroxyéthylée possèdent encore, en raison de l'hydroxyéthylation, l'inconvénient d'une métabolisation incomplète et donc d'une accumulation temporaire dans les tissus liée à des effets secondaires. La présente invention concerne de nouveaux succédanés de plasma à base de polysaccharides qui ne présentent pas cet inconvénient. Elle permet d'obtenir des succédanés de plasma améliorés et complètement métabolisés à base d'amylopectine hyperramifiée, par exemple par modification d'amylopectine végétale native par transglycosylation de manière telle que le degré de ramification élevé et ajustable permet une régulation de la décomposition de la .alpha.-amylase sérique si bien qu'il n'est nécessaire d'effectuer aucune hydroxyéthylation ou qu'une hydroxyéthylation très faible.

Title: Recycled tire sewage treatment apparatus and method
Inventor: COFFEY RAY STRATTON JR
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 2004-03-25
Abstract: The documented invention turns a major environmental and health liability into an asset by incorporating used tires in a sewage treatment system design. This novel use of a readily abundant waste product should help reduce the cost of new home or business construction, while reducing a hazard found in many communities. Due to the current fees charged for shredding or other treatment of used car and equipment tires, in some cases the treatment system may be essentially free.
Patent CA-2464676-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for 3d photography and/or analysis of 3d images and/or display of 3d images
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: H04N13/239
Filed: 2004-04-21
Abstract: When 3D viewing means become much more available and common, it will be very sad that the many great movies that exist today will be able to be viewed in 3D only through limited and partial software attempts to recreate the 3D info.  Films today are not filmed in 3D due to various problems, and mainly since a normal stereo camera could be very problematic when filming modern films, since for example it does not behave properly when zooming in or out is used, and it can cause many problems when filming for example smaller scale models for some special effects. For example, a larger zoom requires a correspondingly larger distance between the lenses, so that for example if a car is photographed at a zoom factor of 1:10, the correct right-left disparity will be achieved only if the lenses move to an inter-ocular distance of for example 65 cm instead of the normal 6.5 cm. The present invention tries to solve the above problems by using a 3D camera which can automatically adjust in a way that solves the zoom problem, and provides a solution also for filming smaller models. The angle between the two lenses is preferably changed according to the distance and position of the object that is at the center of focus, and changing the zoom affects automatically both the distance between the lenses and their angle, since changing merely the distance without changing the convergence angle would cause the two cameras to see completely different parts of the image. The patent also shoes that similar methods can be used for example for a much better stereoscopic telescope with or without a varying zoom factor. In addition, the patent shows various ways to generate efficiently a 3D knowledge of the surrounding space, which can be used also for example in robots for various purposes, and also describes a few possible improvements in 3d viewing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des substances favorisant l'absorption percutanée d'un agent antifongique, par exemple, afin de potentialiser son efficacité sur une maladie rebelle de la peau, telle que l'irritation due à un effort sportif, et de limiter les risques d'application sur une peau dont la sensibilité et l'irritation sont accrues sous l'effet de cette maladie. On a découvert que le coenzyme Q, dont on a établi l'absence de risques par administration orale, ne présente aucun danger pour la peau et exerce un effet de promotion de l'absorption percutanée d'un agent antifongique. Il est possible, en fonction de ces résultats, de préparer des compositions associant le coenzyme Q et un agent antifongique efficace contre l'irritation du pied suivant un effort sportif, qu'il est difficile de guérir complètement.

Inventor: BELZILE LUC
IPC: F03G3/00
Filed: 2004-11-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system that converts the centrifugal forces produced by weights rotating around an axis into useful energy. As the said axis turns, the weights are forced away from this axis therefore developing energy. To reset the weight close to the axis, the rotation is stopped or slowed in order to reduce the centrifugal force acting on the weights. The energy required to rotationally accelerate the above weight is recuperated when the rotation is stopped or decelerated. The said weights can be solid or liquid.
