Patent CA-2637566-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROSS ROBERT A
IPC: B32B27/32
Filed: 2007-01-18
Abstract: A new and improved tier sheet comprises a three-layer laminated extrusion comprising outer layers of a suitable polypropylene homopolymer, and an inner core layer comprising a suitable polypropylene copolymer blended with a suitable elastomer selected from the group comprising SANTOPRENE~, KRATON~, ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) , and a thermoplastic olefin (TPO) . By effectively incorporating the elastomer into the inner core layer of the three-layer laminated extrusion, the tier sheet is provided with the requisite amount of softness, elasticity, and resiliency so as to not only permit the multiplicity of cans to, in effect, form sufficiently deep impressions or depresssions within the upper and lower tier sheets as the different tiers or layers of tier sheets and cans are disposed upon the transportation pallet within the tiered array comprising the palletized load such that movement of the individual cans with respect to the upper and lower tier sheets will effectively be restricted and prevented but, in addition, the tier sheet can dimensionally recover whereby the depressions and impressions will effectively disappear so as to thereby enable each tier sheet to be readied for use with respect to supporting and restraining new or additional sets of cans in connection with the formation of subsequent palletized loads. Furthermore, the outer layers will not readily delaminate from the inner core layer, and still further, the extrusion process results in the fact that the edge portions of the three-layer laminate are effectively sealed such that the three-layer tier sheet laminate will not readily absorb moisture.

Abstract: A support structure for cuttable members includes side members and feet attached to offset toothed cross members. The toothed cross members are adjustable to support a plurality of cuttable members of different lengths, diameters, and/or sizes.  A lower toothed cross member acts as a balance point, with the majority of the cuttable member extending away from the lower toothed cross member side of the support structure. A upper toothed cross member applies a counterbalancing downward force against the cuttable member, securely holding the cuttable member until the center of gravity moves to the upper toothed cross member side of the lower toothed cross member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a registry for candidate transfusion donors, which invokes an inventory management policy to create and actively manage lists of candidate donors in order to minimize imbalances between demand and supply across multiple regions and across multiple categories of donors and recipients. Together with a genotyping laboratory, the registry does targeted recruitment of prospective donors who are typed for a set of genetic markers relating to clinically relevant antigens including mutations of Human Erythrocyte Antigens (HEA), genetic variants of Rh, and possibly additional antigens such as HLA and HPA. The registry monitors incoming demand for transfusion antigen genotypes, preferably stratify the demand into a set of categories representing stable subpopulations, and will apply strategies, disclosed herein, to tune the composition of candidate donor lists to match the demand, thereby avoiding excess, and unnecessary, typing of candidate donors.

Abstract: Rectangular or circular vent apparatus for protecting a confined space having a vent aperture for relief of an overpressure condition is provided with each including vent structure having a vent unit adapted to be positioned over the vent aperture in normal closing relationship thereto. Each vent unit preferably includes at least one spring steel panel provided with a movable pressure relief portion having an initial position extending across the vent aperture. A backstop is provided for arresting the degree of movement of the spring steel panel, that absorbs kinetic energy of opening of the spring steel panel, and that assures return of the relief portion of the spring steel panel in substantially its original shape to a selected opening position when a predetermined overpressure is applied against the relief portion of the vent unit. A line of weakness comprising a series of end-to-end slits defines the movable pressure relief portion of each spring steel panel. A synthetic resin sheet covers the slits of each line of weakness. Alternatively, the vent unit may have spring steel leaves positioned against a metal sheet provided with a relief portion and normally positioned in closing relationship to the vent aperture. The spring steel panel and the spring steel leaves have a sufficient modulus of resilience and elasticity to cause the relief portion of the spring steel panel or the metal sheet to return to their respective initial positions from the open positions thereof upon relief of the overpressure condition in the confined space.

Abstract: Select phytoestrogen pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use for promoting neurological health and prevention of age-related neurodegeneration, such as AD, have been developed. These select phytoestrogen formulations are composed of a number of plant-derived estrogenic molecules and/or their structural analogues and exhibit binding preference to ER.beta. over ER.alpha. and agonist activity in the brain. These ER.beta.-selective phytoestrogen formulations cross the blood-brain-barrier and promote estrogen-associated neurotrophism and neuroprotection mechanisms in the brain, without activating proliferative mechanisms in the reproductive tissues and are therefore devoid of other estrogen-associated problematic aspects. The select phytoestrogen formulations are therapeutically useful to both women and men for sustaining neurological health and preventing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders, such as AD. These are administered enterally, transdermally, transmucosally, intranasally or parenterally, in a dosage effective to prevent or alleviate neuronal damage, effect neuronal regeneration or sustain viability, increase expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, and/or decrease indicators of Alzheimer's Disease. The formulations preferably contain combinations of compounds, and can be formulated for daily, sustained, delayed or weekly/monthly administration. In a preferred embodiment, these are administered to women who are in menopause or post menopausal, most preferably early in menopausal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sifting device, such as a perforated basket, a perforated cylinder or the like, in which slits or gaps are formed between sieve bars (6). The base of the sieve bars is received in receiving recesses (8) adapted to the dimensions of the base of the bars, in a carrier element (3). Said carrier element can also be a reinforcing or strengthening element, and the sieve bars (6) are permanently fixed to the respective carrier element (3). At least one pocket (10, 11) that can be filled with a filler material is provided between each carrier element (3) and each associated sieve bar (6), at least on the edge region (7) of the respective receiving recess (8). In the sifting device according to the invention, said pocket interrupts the contact surface between the outer contour of the sieve bar (6) and the inner contour of the associated receiving recess in the carrier element (3), such that a pre-determined intermediate space is formed in a targeted manner in the form of a pocket (10; 11), at least on the edge region (7). Said pocket is then filled with a homogeneous or composite filler material used as a fixing means, a constituent of said filler material being, for example, an adhesive. In this way, a permanent solid connection can be created between sieve bars (6) and carrier elements (3).

Abstract: A method for simplifying interfacing with a computer-assisted surgery system, by establishing an interaction between an operator and a monitor of a computer-assisted surgery system comprises visually tracking a tool manipulated by the operator for     providing       surgical      data      calculated      from the position/orientation of the tool.                                              A desired interaction is identified from the operator by tracking the tool reaching a specific orientation irrespective of its position.                             An interactive action is activated on a monitor as a function of the desired interaction, the interactive action being unrelated to said surgical data.
