Patent CA-2205309-C (CA)
Inventor: ZOLOCK MICHAEL J
IPC: G01F1/20
Filed: 1992-07-02
Granted: 2000-02-29
Abstract: Apparatus and accompanying methods for inclusion in a Coriolis meter that substantially eliminate temperature induced measurement errors which might otherwise be produced by performance differences existing between the separate input channels contained in the meter. Specifically, two pairs of input channels are used in the meter.  In operation, the meter repetitively measures the internal phase delay of each of these pairs and then subtracts the delay associated with each pair from actual flow based measurement data subsequently obtained therefrom.  While one channel pair is measuring actual flow, the other channel pair is measuring its internal phase delay, with the channels being continuously cycled between these functions.  Because both channel pairs are cycled at a sufficiently rapid rate, the current value of the internal phase delay for each of the pairs accurately reflects any temperature induced changes then occurring in the performance of that pair thereby eliminating substantially all temperature induced error components from the flow measurements subsequently obtained therefrom.  In addition, the meter measures flow tube temperature in a manner that removes temperature induced errors therefrom.

Abstract: Le Cryptosporidium parvum (à l'origine de la cryptosporidiose) est devenu un des entéropathogènes les plus communs, provoquant des diarrhées partout dans le monde. Les symptômes associés à la cryptosporidiose sont très débilitants, notamment chez les sujets immunodéprimés (tels que les patients atteints du SIDA). Les manifestations cliniques sont des diarrhées sévères, chroniques, des crampes abdominales, la fatigue, la perte de poids, etc., qui entraînent une hausse de la mortalité ainsi qu'une hausse des coûts relatifs aux soins médicaux et de santé. L'invention se rapporte à un procédé d'inhibition de la sévérité des infections dues à Cryptosporidium parvum qui consiste à administrer par voie entérale une quantité thérapeutiquement efficace de Lactobacillus reuteri.

Title: Synthesis of proteins by native chemical ligation
Inventor: KENT STEPHEN B H
IPC: C07K1/04
Filed: 1995-05-04
Granted: 2007-02-27
Abstract: Proteins of moderate size having native peptide backbones are produced by a method of native chemical ligation. Native chemical ligation employs a chemoselective reaction of two unprotected peptide segmen ts to produce a transient thioester-linked intermediate. The transient thioester-linked intermediate then spontaneously undergoes a rearrangement to provide the full length ligation product having a native peptide bond at the ligation site. Full length ligation products are chemically identical to proteins produced by cell free synthesis. Full length ligation products may be refolded and/or oxidized, as allowed, to for m native disulfide-containing protein molecules. The technique of native chemical ligation is employable for chemically synthesizing full length proteins.

Abstract: A method of flow estimation during CPAP treatment is disclosed and involves measuring turbine (32) speed by means of the motor's Hall-effect sensors (80). The equivalent pressure, P est, that would be developed by the turbine (32) for that measured speed if the flow were zero is estimated using a predetermined mathematical function. Coincidentally with the speed measurement and pressure estimation, the delivery tube pressure, P act, is measured by the pressure transducer (42), and from P act together with P est, the difference between the two pressures is calculated, representing an estimation of flow, f est. The flow estimation value can be linearised by the square root device (86), and then filteredby the combination of low pass and high pass filters (90, 92) to derive a filtered flow estimate value, that has the non-respiratory components removed. A method of flow compensation of flow-induced pressure swings also is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ventilation apparatus for arranging in a wall-surface region of a building. Such ventilation apparatuses are customary for so-called unheated sheds (stables, cowsheds, pigsties, etc.). In this case, an outer side of a shed building is closed against the entry of wind only with one or more tarpaulin-like wall elements, which are arranged one above the other and can be opened for more extensive ventilation of the shed by virtue of the fact that the wall element is wound toward the top like a roller blind. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a ventilation apparatus in which the wall element is opened by defined or controlled lowering of the top margin of the wall element while simultaneously winding the wall element and only by means of a single drive. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the wall element and the tension element together with further elements form a bow, ultimately more or less closed via the single common drive member, in which case the tension member itself is preferably unwound on the winding shaft to the same extent as the wall element is wound, or vice versa, specifically in opposite directions to one another.

The device application portion communicates with a device interfacing software portion (64) in the banking machine through a device server (92) in the intranet. The device server maintains local control over the devices in the banking machine including the sheet dispenser. The banking machine operates to read indicia on the user's card corresponding to a system address. The computer is operative to connect the banking machine to the home or foreign server corresponding to the system address, which connected server operates the banking machine until the completion of transactions by the user.

Abstract: Disclosed are diagnostic techniques for the detection of a human diseased state. Genetic probes and methods useful in monitoring the progression and diagnosis of the disease state are described. The invention relates particularly to probes and methods for evaluating the presence of RNA species that are differentially expressed in the peripheral blood of individuals with the disease state compared to normal healthy individuals.

Results of quantitative serum assays for the UC325 gene product [Interleukin-8 (IL-8)], total prostate specific antigen (t-PSA), as well as Free/Total (f/t PSA) ratios were combined to enhance the sensitivity of prostate cancer diagnosis in a defined urologic population diagnosed either organ-confined prostate cancer (clinical stage A & B), non-organ-confined prostate cancer (clinical stage C or D) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The additional ability of UC325 gene product serum levels to accurately stage prostate cancer independently of t-PSA of f/t PSA is disclosed.
