Abstract: A concentrate and a ready-to-use or diluted formulation for an aqueous vehicle cleaner can remove a wide range of different types of traffic film using either low pressure application, hand pressure application, water jet spray apparatus, clean-in-place systems or other manual or mechanical washing systems. The compositions may comprise, for example, one or more solutions that each or collectively contain or comprises: a) at least one anionic surfactant; b) at least one poly[oxyalkylene]ammonium cationic surfactant; and c) an alkaline agent. Optional additional ingredients may comprise at least one polycarboxylic acid chelating agent (preferably an aminocarboxylic acid chelating agent), at least one non-ionic or amphoteric surfactant, at least one hydrotrope, inorganic and/or organic acids and at least one silicate. The alkaline agent may provide a pH (when the finished product is diluted to 0.5 to 5 % by weight in water) will be between about 9 to 13. The concentrate may be provided as a one-part or two part solution. Certain formulations have been found to be shelf stable as one-part concentrate or ready-to-use solutions, even with significantly different properties amongst the components. The compositions of the invention are also used in cleaning processes for surfaces, especially vehicle surfaces in car wash systems. The compositions are used in such processes where there are single or multiple liquid application steps.

Title: Intravascular stent delivery assembly
Inventor: HARTIGAN WILLIAM M
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 1992-01-27
Abstract: A stent delivery assembly generally includes an elongated delivery sheath and a catheter disposed within an inner lumen of the sheath having an expandable member on its distal extremity. An expandable stent is mounted on the expandable member of the catheter. A manipulating device is provided on the proximal end of the delivery system to effect relative axial movement between the sheath and the catheter so as to expose the stent mounted on the expandable member on the catheter within a body lumen such as a coronary artery and allow the expansion of the stent by the expansion of the expandable member. The delivery sheath has a first port in its distal end and a second port in the sheath wall proximally disposed from the distal end of the sheath. The catheter likewise has a first port in its distal end and a second port proximally disposed from the distal end of the catheter. An inner lumen extends within the distal portion of the catheter between the first and second ports and slidably receives a guiding member such as a guidewire. This system allows the stent to be delivered over a guidewire previously advanced to the desired location within a body lumen.

Title: Method for preparing polycation based bioconjugates suitable for transporting different kinds of active substances within the body
Inventor: SZEGOE PETER
IPC: A61K33/24
Filed: 2000-06-28
Abstract: The invention relates to new polycation bioconjugates and to a method for producing them. New polycation bioconjugates according to the invention are characterized by that the comprised polycations are capable of transporting active substances of different types in the mammal organism, i.e. for functioning as carrier molecules, thus are able to enhance the biological effectiveness of the transported molecules, and consequently they can, for example, favourably inhibit malignant cell proliferation, or they possess antimicrobial effect, or are suitable for transportation of genes. A further characteristic of the polycation bioconjugates according to the invention is that each of them contains isopolypeptide carrier molecules, bearing free .alpha.-amino group, as a common characteristic structural element. Enhancer molecules - same or different - having appropriate binding functions are coupled by chemical bonds directly and/or indirectly through connecting molecules - that may be identical or different ones - to the carrier molecule.  Hence the polycation bioconjugates synthetized according to the invention are of general formula (I) wherein: "r" is a mean value between 20 and 400, "m"=0, 1, 2, 3, ...k, "[(k)Mx]" designates enhancer molecules and/or connecting molecules conjugated by covalent (=k) bonds to the isopolypeptide polycation carrier molecule, and "[(i)Mx]" designates enhancer molecules conjugated by ionic (=i) bonds to the isopolypeptide polycation carrier molecule, whereas the said enhancer molecules and connecting molecules having appropriate functional groups for conjugation may either be identical ones or of (two or more i.e "x") different kinds, and the enhancer molecules can be conjugated directly and/or indirectly through a connecting molecule.

Patent CA-2382603-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STREETON AMY B
IPC: B32B25/10
Filed: 2000-09-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to specific methods of producing cleated rubbe r- backed floor mats (such as dust control or rubber mats) through the utilization of the combination of a perforated coated woven fabric article a nd a cushioned platen liner between the article and the metal platen of an in- line dust control mat manufacturing machine. Such a procedure permits a more  efficient manner of producing cleated anti-creep dust control mats than previously followed. In particular, the fabric article is in the form of a conveyor belt and is preferably constructed from Teflon.RTM.-coated woven fiberglass which will not adhere to the tacky rubber component of the target  mat and can withstand the extremely high vulcanization temperatures and pressures required during the production of a dust control mat. The cushione d platen liner, which is preferably comprised of or coated with silicon, is utilized as a separator between the metal platen of the manufacturing machin e, as well as cushion for the molten rubber as it is pressed through the convey or belt perforations during vulcanization. Such a cushioned liner material substantially eliminates any problems due to the force of the metal platen against the molten rubber as it passes through the article perforations. The  produced mat as well as the woven fabric article/cushioned platen liner combination are also encompassed within this invention.

Abstract: An autonomous dispatch system links positioning-system units (16) mounted on mining and haulage equipment (10, 12) to a computerized mine development plan for ascertaining the origin of mined material and directing its disposition according to a predetermined downstream-processing plan. A destination signal is automatically communicated to the haulage vehicle (12), which is then autonomously guided to the correct destination and tracked until the load is released after arrival. If the haulage vehicle is manually operated, the destination signal and the vehicle's progress toward it are preferably also displayed on a monitor (28) for the operator's information and use. The system may further include hardware (30) for blocking the release of a load from the haulage vehicle until and unless the vehicle has reached the prescribed destination.

Title: Process for expanded pellet production
Inventor: COGAN KEVIN CHARLES
IPC: A23L1/164
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: In the process of producing corn-based pellets, preconditioner steam and water addition, as well as extruder water or screw configuration and RPM, can be manipulated to precisely control the cook level, gelatinization, and moisture level of the meal during processing, and level of defects despite minor variation in the characteristics of the corn flour. Specifically, the preconditioner added steam-to-water ratio can be manipulated to effect cook, hydration, and partial gelatinization of the meal. In the extruder, lower extruder rotational speeds increase the residence time and increases cook.  With the increase in residence time the volume of bed pack in the extruder increases. This can be reversed by adding water directly into the extruder, thereby decreasing the viscosity of the meal in the extruder. Product bulk density is changed by increasing and decreasing cook of the meal.
