Patent CA-2242088-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BALDWIN JOHN R
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: A multivoltage (120 VAC to 277 VAC) input, low leakage current type, microcontroller-based, wall switch mounted, IR motion sensor with a latching relay having zero watt load switching capability, provided in a low cost, single PC board design to be mounted in a single gang electrical box. The switching circuit delivers AC electrical power to a load, such as a lighting fixture, from an AC power supply having only a hot lead, a neutral lead and a ground connection.      The switching circuit comprises a rectifier, coupled to conduct a leakage current between the hot lead and the ground connection, for converting the AC electrical power to a DC electrical power supply. A relay has a first normally open contact coupled to the hot lead and a second normally open contact coupled to the load, and is powered by a storage capacitor. An IR occupancy sensor generates a signal in response to a detected human presence. A digital microcontroller is coupled to the DC electrical power supply, the relay, and the occupancy sensor, and controls operation of the relay to selectively deliver electrical power to the load. The switching circuit also includes a power monitor section, a power reset section, a power relay section for operating the relay switch, an LED flash section, and a timer section.

Title: Recombinant fusion proteins based on ribosome-inactivating proteins of the mistletoe viscum album
Inventor: ZINKE HOLGER
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-01-02
Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules code for fusion proteins which contain at least one effector module, a processing module and a targeting module. The disclosed nucleic acid molecules preferably further contain a modulator module and/or an affinity module. Also disclosed are vectors containing these nucleic acid molecules, hosts transformed by the disclosed vectors, fusion proteins coded by the disclosed nucleic acids or produced by the disclosed hosts, and medicaments which contain the disclosed polypeptides or vectors. These medicaments are particularly significant for the therapy of diseases associated with a pathological reproduction and/or increased activity of cell populations. A temporary, abrupt and strong proliferation, infiltration and immune activity of cells of the immune system is found in auto-immune diseases and allergies, the specificity of these immune cells being due to their reaction to a particular antigen or allergen. These medicaments may also be advantageously used for treating tumours. The disclosed polypeptides and vectors can be used to develop medicaments and to test toxin activity-modulating factors. The invention thus also concerns corresponding processes, uses and kits. The modules, with the exception of the affinity and targeting modules, are preferably coded by nucleic acids extracted or derived from the mistletoe lectin proprotein coding sequence.

Title: Transport apparatus for handling cut products
Inventor: WIERSCHKE LARRY D
IPC: B65G21/20
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: A transport apparatus for handling rows of units of multi-ply material such as rolls of bathroom tissue or paper toweling and stacks of folding facial tissue or toweling includes a pair of movable shuttles which can be moved together to provide a bridge for conveying the units over an opening and which can be moved apart to provide a gap so that trim pieces or selected units can fall through the opening. When the shuttles are moved to an upstream position, the shuttles bridge the opening, and units can be moved over the shuttles and over the opening. When a trim piece or selected unit is positioned just upstream of the downstream shuttle, the downstream shuttle is moved in a downstream direction away from the upstream shuttle to provide a gap between the shuttles so that the trim piece or selected unit falls through the gap and the opening. The upstream shuttle can then be moved in a downstream direction toward the downstream shuttle to close the gap.

Inventor: CRANSTON LESLIE A
IPC: G06F16/28
Filed: 1999-09-01
Abstract: A method of searching a table in a database management system for free space for inserting a new record into the table. The table resides in a storage media, and includes a series of pages capable of storing a plurality of records. The table has a clustering index defined in a column of the table. The new record has a new record attribute for storing in the column of the table when the new record is stored in the table. The method comprises searching for a target page in the series of pages, the target page being selected to maintain clustering when the new record is inserted thereon. Once the target page has been located, it is searched for sufficient free space to accommodate the new record. If sufficient free space is found on the target page, then the new record is inserted on the target page. If sufficient free space is not found on the target page, then a target neighbourhood of pages in the series of pages is searched for sufficient free space to accommodate the new record. The target neighbourhood of pages surrounds the target page. If sufficient free space is found on a page in a target neighbourhood of pages, then the new record is inserted on to this page in the target neighbourhood of pages. If sufficient free space is not found in the target neighbourhood of pages, then the method further comprises searching for sufficient free space to accommodate the new record outside the target neighbourhood of pages. If sufficient free space is found outside the target neighbourhood of pages, then the new record is inserted on a non-neighbouring page outside the target neighbourhood of pages. If sufficient free space is not found outside the target neighbourhood of pages, then a new page having the new record is appended to the end of table.
