Patent CA-2395587-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MIYATSU YOSHINOBU
IPC: C07K14/765
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: A method for converting a multimer of human serum albumin into monomers thereof comprises the step of treating the multimer with an alkaline solution. This method permits the efficient and quite simple conversion of human serum albumin multimers into monomers thereof at a low cost.     A method for preventing the uncorrected holding of human serum albumin during a process for converting a multimer of human serum albumin into monomers thereof by treating the multimer with an alkaline solution, comprises the step of treating the human serum albumin-containing solution with the alkaline solution in the presence of an SH  group-containing compound. This method permits the efficient inhibition of any intra-molecular or inter-molecular uncorrected holding of human serum albumin, which is specifically caused in an oxidative atmosphere during the process for preparing HSA from the plasma or the process for preparing rHSA according to the gene recombination technique. Moreover, the method likewise permits the preparation of high purity human serum albumin having a reduced content of a novel substance, which is formed through the uncorrected holding of human serum albumin and becomes a cause of side effects such as allergy observed when it is administered to a patient.

Title: Procedes et compositions assurant une protection contre les maladies a des animaux presentant un interet economique
Inventor: JILKA JOSEPH M
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: Selon la présente invention, l'administration par voie orale de compositions immunogènes permet d'induire une protection contre les pathogènes bactériens, viraux ou autres, en l'absence d'une réponse anticorps. Dans une forme de réalisation, la composition antigénique est une plante transgénique exprimant un déterminant antigénique dudit pathogène, dans une autre forme de réalisation, la composition antigénique est une entérotoxine qui peut être administrée avec un aliment ou avec une plante transgénique dans laquelle elle a été incorporée. Selon l'invention, l'administration de ces compositions immunogènes suivant des quantités traditionnellement inférieures à la pratique clinique qui sont insuffisantes pour générer une réponse anticorps, assure la protection contre l'attaque ultérieure par un pathogène particulier.

Title: Vehicle brake safety system apparatus and methods
Inventor: MACGREGOR G DAVID
IPC: B60T17/16
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: The present invention is a safety-enhancing automatic brake control system that automatically applies and maintains the brakes in the applied state, in response to sensors at various stations around/in the vehicle or equipment that signal an invented controller when conditions exist that make vehicle movement potentially dangerous. The controller validates the signals and then actuates a mechanism that manages the air, brake fluid, or mechanical brake linkage/cable that applies the brakes. The control system preferably includes a vehicle motion override system that prevents automatic application of the brakes if the vehicle is in motion above a set speed, and a manual brake-releasing override that allows a driver to override the controller temporarily at the driver's discretion.

Title: Installation for treating, in particular for painting, objects, especially vehicle bodies
Inventor: WEINAND HANS-JOACHIM
IPC: B65G49/04
Filed: 2001-09-14
Abstract: Objects, (4) especially vehicle bodies (4), are guided through a painting installation comprising at least one bath (2) in a continuous translation movement, by means of a transport device (5). Immersion devices carry the objects using a carrier structure (61) which is connected to the transport device (5) in such a way that it can be pivoted by a pivoting arm (50, 51). A first drive device (54, 55, 56, 57) causes a pivoting movement of the pivoti ng arm (50, 51) about a first axis. A second drive device (78, 79, 80, 81) is used to pivot the carrier structure (61) about the second axis, in relation to the pivoting arm (50, 51). One such immersion device enables very different kinematics of the immersing and emerging movement to be carried out.

Patent CA-2413589-A1 (CA)
Title: Emergency power supply device
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D7/04
Filed: 2001-06-30
Abstract: It is known in wind power installations to provide for certain parts thereof an emergency power supply by means of accumulators, in particular lead accumulators, so that in the event of a power failure the wind power installation can be put into such a position that no damage to the wind power installation occurs.      The disadvantage of lead accumulators however is that they are relatively heavy, they take up a great deal of space, and lead accumulators cannot be charged and discharged an unlimited number of times. In addition the charging and discharging properties of the lead accumulators deteriorate with time and furthermore accumulator storage means require relatively expensive maintenance so that they increase the costs of a wind power installation and operation thereof.      The object of the invention is to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages.      Use of a capacitor storage means as a storage means for electrical energy instead of an accumulator in a wind power installation.

Patent CA-2420511-A1 (CA)
Title: Accumulating whistling vent
Inventor: HAWKINS MURRAY
IPC: G01F23/02
Filed: 2003-02-27
Abstract: An accumulating whistling vent for indicating a level of liquid in a tank having a vent line is disclosed. The whistling vent includes a whistle housing reservoir which has mounting tubes extending from either ends. A whistle is housed in the whistle housing reservoir by insertion into one of the mounting tubes. The whistling vent is coupled between the vent line of the tank such that the tube containing the whistle is closest to the tank. As liquid is introduced into the tank an audible signal is produced by the whistle. Once full, air flowing from the tank through the vent line is replaced by the incoming liquid, thus muting the whistle. Excess liquid is accumulated in the reservoir prior to discharge from the vent line, thereby providing additional time to respond to the change in audible signal. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a transparent reservoir is used to provide a visual indicator in addition to the change in audible signal. In another preferred embodiment of the invention a fuel filter and brass key chain whistle are used to minimize manufacturing costs.

Title: System and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device in a wireless data network
Inventor: LAZARIDIS MIHAL
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: A system and method for redirecting data from a host system (or messaging server) to one or more mobile data communication devices via a wireless packet data network is provided in which the wireless packet data network dynamically assigns addresses to the one or more mobile data communication devices on an as-needed basis. A redirector application operating at the host system is configured by each user to continuously redirect certain data to the wireless packet data network, as the data is received (or otherwise altered) at the host system.  Two methods are provided for communicating the redirected data from the network to the mobile device. In a first method, the mobile device is configured to periodically contact a store-and-forward server within the wireless network, which, when contacted, assigns a network address to the mobile device and then transmits the stored, redirected data to the mobile device. In a second method, the network transmits a connection request command to the mobile device via a parallel voice network, or via a command channel, or other type of low-bandwidth data channel. The mobile device then contacts the data network and requests a network address so that the store-and-forward server can send the redirected data to the mobile device.
