Title: Procede et dispositif de guidage a assistance automatique d'aeronefs vers une place de stationnement, et systeme de gestion associe
Inventor: CASTOR ROBERT
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 1998-09-21
Granted: 2008-07-15
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un procédé, un dispositif et un système de gestion pour la conduite automatique d'aéronefs à une place de stationnement, qui permettent le supplément nécessaire de sécurité ainsi qu'une surveillance et une commande organisées et largement centralisées. Il est proposé un procédé de conduite automatique d'aéronefs à une place de stationnement, qui permet la transmission automatique des instructions de correction relatives à la direction et à la vitesse pour la conduite de l'aéronef. Pour cela, on utilise au moins une vidéocaméra braquée sur l'aéronef en stationnement à une place située dans son champ de vision, de manière à ce que les signaux fournis par la vidéocaméra soient traités dans une unité d'évaluation pour déterminer tant la position réelle de l'aéronef que les instructions de correction nécessaires pour parvenir à la position prescrite, et convertis en séquences vidéo. Les instructions en question ainsi que les séquences vidéo sont combinées avec d'autres données de surveillance sur un écran de contrôle aux fins de représentation intégrée.

Title: Mixed catalyst system
Inventor: NEMZEK THOMAS LLOYD
IPC: C08F4/02
Filed: 1998-12-15
Granted: 2005-08-23
Abstract: It has been found that the use of at least one unsupported metallocene polymerization catalyst with at least one supported metallocene polymerization catalyst in the polymerization of olefins allows for better control of the polymerization, especially gas phase polymerization. Such a system takes advantage of the high activity of the unsupported catalyst and the stability of a supported catalyst. Additionally, the relative timing of the addition of the supported and unsupported catalysts to a reaction system can be used to control a continuous polymerization reaction by stabilizing the reactor bed with the supported catalyst prior to addition of the unsupported catalyst.
Patent CA-2316045-C (CA)
Inventor: MCNEIL JAMES B
IPC: B01L99/00
Filed: 2000-08-16
Granted: 2004-10-26
Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for producing microarrays of biological samples using an improved slide platform, vacuum manifold, and variable pin contact velocity. Slides onto which spotting pins produce the microarray of biological samples are secured on a flat slide platform using magnetic unit bars. The vacuum manifold effects optimal cleaning of the spotting pins by inducing increased air flow and turbulence. By reducing the velocity of the spotting pins before or after contact with the blot pad or the microarray slide, the morphology of biological samples deposited may be kept uniform. Similarly, low impact and separating velocities while acquiring biological materials prevent the pins from being overloaded with solution on the outside of the pin and causing sample wastage and non-uniform spotting.

Title: Ground compacting device
Inventor: MOTZ KARL HERMANN
IPC: E02D3/026
Filed: 2000-08-25
Granted: 2008-03-11
Abstract: The invention concerns a device for ground compacting, having at least one vibrating roller whose casing surface is composed of a plurality of segments in peripheral direction, at least some of which having a radius of curvature that deviates from the mean radius of the roller. In order to smooth the jolting movement resulting from the shape of the rollers in devices of this type, it is proposed to construct the tire casing of the roller from several sections lying adjacent to one another in axial direction, said sections having segments abutting one another in peripheral direction, whereby the abutting edges are displaced vis-à-vis one another in peripheral direction. The advantage of these rollers is that their "rolling behaviour" is improved considerably.

Abstract: The invention provides sterile compositions comprising a complex of a therapeutic peptide and a polysaccharide selected from the group consisting of cellulose derivatives, chitin, chitosans, galactomannans, and mixtures thereof, wherein the complex has been sterilised with ionising radiation. The presence of the polysaccharides surprisingly stabilizes therapeutic peptides against decomposition under ionising conditions, especially under gamma-irradiation. Processes for the preparation of the sterile compositions and processes for the preparation of sterile therapeutic peptides are also claimed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cheese-like dairy gel that includes a gum, a starch, and a dairy liquid, wherein the gel has the texture, consistency, and mouthfeel of a cheese. In particular embodiments of the dairy gel, it is essentially fat-free, and is chosen from among cottage cheese, ricotta, cream cheese, American cheese, processed cheese, Parmesan cheese, baker's cheese, cheddar, and Feta cheese. The gum may be an ionically neutral gum, such as konjac, or a microbial gum, gellan gum, or it may be an anionic gum, such as a carrageenan, Kappa-carrageenan, furcelleran, agar, alginate, and the like, or mixtures thereof. The starch, in certain embodiments of the invention, may be potato starch, tapioca starch, corn starch, rice starch, wheat starch, and the like, or mixtures thereof. The invention additionally provides a process for preparing a cheese-like dairy gel wherein the ingredients are blended, briefly heated, packaged, and cooled, or it may be cooled and extruded, sliced, diced, or shredded, then packaged. The invention avoids renneting, fermenting, or acidification that yields curds and whey liquid. It thus provides a simplified process and product which utilizes all the ingredients of the dairy liquid employed.
