Patent CA-2487599-A1 (CA)
Title: Elongated handle
Inventor: TAYLOR SCOTT F
IPC: A63B67/14
Filed: 2004-11-12
Abstract: Manually operated implements have an elongated tapered handle that provides an enhanced grip; being useful for brushes, particularly curling brushes. A slight degree of upward taper to a brush handle markedly improves its grip quality, facilitating downward force transfer to the brush head, or commensurately reducing the effort required for a predetermined sweeping effect. The tapered handle enables improved wrap of the user's finger surfaces to the shaft. Larger or smaller diameter tapered handles can be used. A four foot long handle may have a 1-1/8 inch diameter distal end tapering to a 1-inch diameter proximal end. Compound, multi-segment tapered handles can be used with or without parallel sections. A tapered handle allows the curler to grip the handle in a variety of positions, making the design useful to curlers of most physical statures, and enabling the use of various positions and techniques. The structural strength of the handles can be enhanced by the use of tapered sections; and by providing reduced wall thicknesses, it enables lower weights to be achieved in the finished product.

Patent CA-2496986-A1 (CA)
Title: Optoelectronic rapid diagnostic test system
Inventor: CHEN YE
IPC: G01N21/86
Filed: 2005-02-14
Abstract: A rapid diagnostic test system or process uses a single-use module that includes a photodetector. The photodetector generates an electrical signal representing a measurement of light from a test region on a medium such as a lateral-flow strip for a binding assay. For light measurement, the test medium can contain a labeling substance that attaches a persistent fluorescent structure such as a quantum dot to a target analyte, so that the photodetector measures fluorescent light. Multiple photodetectors and an optical system that separates or filters light of wavelengths corresponding to different fluorescent labeling substances allow simultaneous testing for multiple analytes. The single-use module can include a display or LED for visual indication of test results, or the electrical signal can be output for processing in a reusable module.

Patent CA-2505594-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TORRES LENNARD
IPC: B32B13/08
Filed: 2003-10-21
Abstract: A reinforced wallboard core is prepared from a slurry comprising a mixture of .beta.-calcium sulfate hemihydrate, a cellulose ether additive other than CMC  and an amount of water that is sufficient to form a slurry and resulting in a wallboard density of less than 0.8 g/cc. The .beta.-calcium sulfate hemihydrate is hydrated by the water forming a wallboard core reinforced by the cellulose ether additive. The cellulose ether, having a molecular weight of at least about 20,000 and a viscosity grade of at least about 100 cps, is selected to give the reinforced wallboard core improved nail pull resistance and greater flexural strength than unreinforced wallboard of the same density.  The reinforced wallboard core may be used for reduced-paper wallboard and/or for lightweight wallboard, for example.

Title: Heat exchanger, methods and means for making same
Inventor: DOMEN JEAN-PAUL
IPC: B21D26/031
Filed: 2003-12-12
Abstract: The cross section of the single extended piece is shaped like a fish spine, with oblique hollow fishbones (12-14), forming parallel symmetrical pairs from a common central channel (16). The internal thickness of the fishbones is very small, as is the space between them and the thickness of the central channel. Each symmetrical pair of longitudinal fishbones forms one modular pipe of the piece  The common central channel is in all the planes of symmetry of the stack of longitudinal fishbones in the piece. These symmetrical pairs contain rectilinear central elements to connect the ends together by two hollow connectors each formed from two returnable surfaces. The axes of the stack of connectors are the same as those for the two feed collectors for each modular pipe and one end of each collector ends by one of the two connection pipes of the piece. Outline of a modular heat exchanger as described above, with a stack of biconvex vents like an accordeon. Multiple exchanger modules can be installed in an envelope made of two half-shells which completely enclose the enchangers whilst controlling the spaces between them. Each half-shell encloses a longitudinal half of an exchanger or the assembly of several exchangers and has a half-tube connector at each end. The edges of the half-shells are welded together and the half-connectors are welded to the connections of the exchanger(s). ALSO CLAIMED is a mould for fabricating the rough exchanger and a method for fabricating the exchanger, as well as a method for fabricating the rough exchanger in metal and a method for finishing it, together with a machine-tool making the exchanger from a mould.
