Title: Transmission fluid conditioning kit
Inventor: BALLEW WALTER J
IPC: F16H57/00
Filed: 1999-08-30
Abstract: A transmission fluid conditioning apparatus and method for facilitating the conduction of a transmission coolant flow test includes the provision of a fluid receptacle in the form of an open ended container having a internal volume for receiving a test amount of transmission coolant fluid. At least the transmission fluid flow filter is prestored within the fluid receptacle to facilitate use of the fluid receptacle in conducting a coolant flow test each time the transmission filter is replaced on a vehicle. Filter installation connection components including at least one of a hose, hose clamp and hose fitting, may also be prestored within the container. A closure lid is removably mountable over the open end of the container. Indicia are formed on the fluid receptacle for indicating good and bad coolant flow tests by the fluid level within the receptacle within a predetermined test time period. Printed instruction for conducting a transmission coolant flow test may also be provided on a label attached to the fluid receptacle.

Inventor: SAARI AUVO
IPC: F16C13/00
Filed: 1998-03-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for balancing a cylinder, roll or equivalent part with a thin mantle intended to be revolving. The method comprises the following steps: in the method, the errors in the circumferential deflection line of the mantle (25) of the cylinder (10), roll or equivalent part with a thin mantle are measured, and dynamic unbalance is determined, locations and magnitudes of counterweights (20) necessary for balancing are determined based on the deformations and dynamic unbalance arising from the errors in the deflection line of the mantle (25), and the counterweights (20) are fixed to the inner face of the mantle (25) of the cylinder (10), roll or equivalent part with a thin mantle in order to compensate for the errors in the circumferential deflection line and, thus, to eliminate the dynamic unbalance. The invention also relates to a balanced cylinder, roll or equivalent part with a thin mantle which is intended to be revolving. Counterweights (20) of magnitudes necessary for balancing are fitted to the inner face of the mantle (25) of the cylinder (10), roll or equivalent part with a thin mantle, to positions determined on the basis of measurements, in order to compensate for the errors in the circumferential deflection line of the mantle (25) such that, when the cylinder (10), roll or equivalent part revolves, the circumferential deflection line is compensated and dynamic unbalance is eliminated.

Patent CA-2291064-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LENNON JOHN
IPC: F16L19/028
Filed: 1996-05-23
Abstract: A fluid tight flare nut union is described. Flare nut unions are convenient to install in systems, such as refrigeration systems, and are generally reliably fluid tight. Leaks can occur over time, however, due to environmental stress conditions. Deformable ferrules (36), in combination with compression nut (40) assemblies, either singly, or redundantly, or in counter rotation redundant assembly, secure the flare nut (32) to the fluid transfer tubing (30) in a locking relationship which prevents the loosening of the flare nut-flare connection with subsequent fluid leakage due to these environmental stresses. Enclosing the complete assembly in water proof insulating material (44), further insures virtually leak proof operation of the improved flare nut union.

Abstract: On décrit un procédé et un système de communication permettant de transmettre des données divisées en plusieurs paquets de données entre au moins deux unités de communication (CU1, CU2, CU4) à l'aide d'un réseau (N) de transmission. Pendant les interruptions momentanées de la transmission des paquets de données envoyés par le réseau de transmission, un certain nombre des paquets de données envoyés est perdu. Cette invention permet d'éviter cette perte de paquets de données due aux interruptions momentanées du réseau de transmission, étant donné qu'on détermine au niveau du dispositif de traitement d'envoi des données, sur la base des informations reçues en provenance du réseau de transmission, les paquets de données qui sont perdus ou qui le seront pendant la transmission en raison d'une interruption momentanée du réseau de transmission. Le procédé peut être utilisé pour la transmission de données effectuée via des réseaux de transmission mobiles et d'un réseau du type internet. Pour permettre de récupérer les paquets de données perdus, les paquets de données programmés pour être envoyés peuvent être momentanément stockés dans un dispositif de stockage temporaire. La transmission des paquets, la retransmission et d'autres services nécessaires pour effectuer la transmission de données peuvent être réalisés à l'aide d'un ensemble protocole TCP/IP modifié de manière appropriée.

Title: Biocontrol agents for control of root diseases
Inventor: MAVRODI DMITRI V
IPC: A01N63/27
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: Fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. are described which are effective for the control of diseases caused by one or more of Rhizoctonia, Gaeumannomyces graminis and Pythium. The subject biocontrol strains have a unique genotype as shown by a characteristic banding pattern, and exhibit root-colonizing ability which is characterized by both higher population density on roots and extended colonizing activity compared to known Gg-suppressive strains. A further property is the ability of a strain to duplicate the level of biocontrol obtained naturally in a take-all decline soil. Methods for isolation and identification of the strains and their use to control diseases caused by Gg are provided. Transgenic fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. which have a locus which encodes for the production of the antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol and have a biosynthetic locus which encodes for the production of the antibiotic phenazine-1-carboxylic acid stably introduced into the genome are also described.
Patent CA-2311244-A1 (CA)
Title: Flow regulating implant, method of manufacturing, and delivery device
Inventor: YARDEN ORIT
IPC: A61F2/04
Filed: 1998-11-18
Abstract: An implant includes a tube for permitting fluid flow. A flow controlling rod may be inserted within the tube passage. One or more holes around the circumference of the tube may be selectively permanently or temporarily occluded to give desired flow characteristics. A delivery device for implanting the implant may include a central bore in which a retractable wire is located. The retractable wire penetrates a tube passage of the implant when the implant is attached to the delivery device. A  hook on the delivery device prevents the implant from moving down the wire. After the implant is in position in the eye, the retention wire is retracted out of the implant. With the retention wire retracted, the implant is then free to slide away from the hook, allowing the delivery device to be withdrawn, leaving the implant in place. In a method for manufacturing an implant, two tubes of different diameters are utilized. The smaller tube fits inside the longitudinal bore of the larger tube. When the tubes are cut, the smaller tube forms the tube of the implant and the remaining portions of the larger tube form the retention projection and/or disk of the implant.

Abstract: Novel double-stranded DNAs, expression vectors and methods for their use are provided in which the intracellular expression of the double-stranded DNAs alters the phenotype of a cell to determine the function of a gene of interest. The double-stranded DNAs encode a family of catalytic RNAs targeted to the mRNA of a gone of interest.  Cleavage of the mRNA results in an altered cell phenotype from which the function of the product encoded by the mRNA is determined. The compositions find use in high-throughput screens to assign gene functions which eliminate the requirement of bacterial cloning.
