Title: Method for promoting ovulation, parturition, and lactation in mammals
Inventor: CROSS DEE L
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: The present invention generally relates to various methods for promoting ovulation, parturition and lactation in female mammals. These benefits are obtained by administering to the mammals a composition containing a D2 receptor antagonist that does not substantially cross the blood brain barrier. In one embodiment, the D2 receptor antagonist is domperidone.      The domperidone can be administered to the mammal either orally or subcutaneously and can be used to treat, for instance, anestrous mammals, mammals that have problems bearing offspring and mammals suffering from agalactia. Unexpectedly, it has also been discovered that the D2 receptor antagonist may also stimulate feed intake, causing the mammal to eat more and gain weight faster.
Patent CA-2225784-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FISHBEIN CHRISTOPHER G
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1996-07-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un cathéter ayant un corps (12) allongé pour une insertion dans le corps d'un individu vivant. Le cathéter comprend également un dispositif d'iamgerie ultrasonique (20) disposé à l'intérieur de la portion distale du cathéter. Le dispositif d'imagerie ultrasonique génère des signaux electriques utilisés par un système d'imagerie ultrasonique pour afficher en temps réel l'image du tissu entourant la portion distale du cathéter. Le cathéter comporte, en outre, un élément coupant (30a), par exemple un fil métallique d'électrode ou une fibre laser ayant une portion proximale placée dans le corps du cathéter. Le cathéter comprend également un mécanisme relié au corps qui fait que la portion distale de l'élément coupant s'étend depuis le corps du cathéter. La portion distale de l'élément coupant génère de l'énergie dansle tissu qui est proche, pour le couper. Le dispositif d'imagerie ultrasonique est positionné par rapport à l'élément coupant pour que l'image en temps réel produite par le système d'imagerie ultrasonique puisse inclure l'élément coupant en train de couper le tissu.
Patent CA-2233802-A1 (CA)
Title: Bobbin with integral support tabs
Inventor: ROWE FRANKLIN
IPC: H01F27/32
Filed: 1998-03-31
Abstract: A bobbin for use in a three-phase line reactor. The bobbin includes a tubular main body with a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, and a core that extends from the first end to the second end. The main body also has two radially-extending flanges; one on its first end and another on its second end. Four tabs extend axially from the main body and are integral with it. A first tab is positioned on the first end of the main body extending from the first side and a second tab is positioned opposite the first tab on the second side. A third tab is positioned on the second end of the main body extending from the first side and a fourth tab is positioned opposite the third tab on the second side. The integral tabs eliminate the need for metal support bars used to hold and align laminations inserted into the cores of the bobbins. Thus, fixing laminations in place is more accurate and repeatable than with prior bobbins. Further, since the tabs may be sized and shaped exactly, precise alignment of the components of a three phase reactor is possible. The bobbin may include ridged sidewalls which enhance the strength of the bobbin. The ridges may also be designed to enhance camber control and spacing of the wire coil wound on the bobbin.

Title: High temperature olefin polymerization process
Inventor: VAUGHAN GEORGE A
IPC: C08F4/606
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: A polymerization process for olefinically or acetylenically unsaturated monomers is disclosed. The process comprises contacting the one or more of the monomers with a suitable ionic catalyst system in the presence of a long-chain, linear alkyl ligand-containing organo aluminum compound. Preferred ionic catalysts are derived from 1) bridged hafnium compounds, 2) silicon bridged monocyclopentadienyl titanium compounds and 3) unbridged, bulky Group 15 containing bulky monocyclopentadienyl titanium compounds, and a non-coordinating anion precursor compound. A class of preferred anion precursors consists of hydrated salts comprising a Group 1 or 2 cation and a non-coordinating anion. Using the preferred ionic catalysts high temperature processes, e.g., at or above 90°C can be conducted to prepare polyolefins, particularly ethylene copolymers, of both high molecular weight and high comonomer content.

Title: Motor vehicle monitoring system for determining a cost of insurance
Inventor: MCMILLAN ROBERT J
IPC: G06Q40/08
Filed: 1998-04-22
Abstract: A method and system of determining a cost of automobile insurance based upon monitoring, recording and communicating data representative of operator and vehicle driving characteristics. The cost is adjustable retrospectively and can be prospectively set by relating the driving characteristics to predetermined safety standards. The method comprises steps of monitoring a plurality of raw data elements representative of an operating state of the vehicle or an action of the operator. Selected ones of the raw data elements are recorded when the ones are determined to have an identified relationship to safety standards. The selected ones are consolidated for processing against an insurer profile and for identifying a surcharge or discount to be applied to a base cost of automobile insurance. A final cost is produced from the base costs and the surcharges or discounts.
Patent CA-2235724-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ELLIS JOE D
IPC: B60C25/14
Filed: 1998-04-23
Abstract: A pneumatic  tire  sealing device  that  seals  the beads of a tire to a wheel rim preferably includes a split nozzle  that  directs  pressurized  air  in  two  diverging directions  such that when the split nozzle is  inserted between a tubeless pneumatic tire and a wheel rim, the air exiting through the split nozzle will travel in opposite directions around the wheel rim and within the tire.  The tire sealing device also can include a locking mechanism by which the tire sealing device is safely and securely locked to the wheel rim during the sealing process.  This prevents the tire sealing device from being propelled away from  the  wheel   (and  vice  versa)  when  a  burst  of pressurized air is discharged through the nozzle.   The locking mechanism can be used with tire sealing devices that include standard nozzles as well as those having a split nozzle.  Other safety features also are disclosed.

Patent CA-2249947-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURGENER DAVID
IPC: F17C7/02
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: The invention provides a system for unloading liquified gases from rail cars or other transport vehicles by using an energy buffer system which allows the shifting of electric demand to off-peak hours when electric power rates are lower. The system employs a buffer tank containing solidified gas to withdraw vapor remaining in the rail car after the liquified gas has been removed. The invention relies on the fact that the liquified gas which is to be unloaded has a triple point pressure that is low enough to allow recovery of the majority of the residual vapor in the rail car. The system allows the use of a smaller refrigeration unit operating at a constant load over a long period of time, in place of a larger refrigeration unit. The system also provides an additional advantage of extracting vapor from a rail car at a faster rate than the rate which is possible with a typical compressor.
