Patent CA-2419564-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GALLANT PAUL
IPC: A63F9/10
Filed: 2001-09-06
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un puzzle à deux dimensions, comprenant plusieurs pièces. Chacune de ces pièces présente un corps principal, qui est constitué de mousse à mémoire de forme. Chaque corps principal présente une couche d'adhésif qui s'étend sur tout le corps, ainsi qu'un film souple qui y est relié de manière adhésive. Ce film souple porte une partie d'une image du puzzle et les corps principaux des pièces présentent des parties d'assemblage s'emboîtant de manière complémentaire, qui permettent d'assembler les pièces les unes aux autres de manière amovible, afin de former l'image du puzzle. Chacun des corps principaux présente une face périphérique d'épaisseur prédéfinie, de façon que lorsque les pièces sont assemblées les unes aux autres, les parties d'assemblage s'emboîtant maintiennent sensiblement les pièces ensemble, par contact par frottement entre les surfaces de face périphérique des corps principaux. L'adhésif reste sensiblement souple après avoir durci, ce qui permet de pouvoir plier le puzzle à deux dimensions selon cette invention, sans qu'aucune de ses pièces ne se détache du puzzle.

Abstract: A method for the direct determination of the acid distribution in petroleum crude oil and crude oil fractions by chlorine negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry is disclosed. The crude oil or crude oil fraction is introduced into a mass spectrometer followed by the introduction of a chlorinated reagent capable of producing chloride anions that can react with the acid compounds of the crude oil or crude oil fractions. The mass spectrometer is operated in negative ion mode to selectively detect negatively charged chlorinated adduct ion species. Mass spectra, such as represeted on Figure 3A, are obtained, from which adduct ions are selected. Peaks from resulting mass sub-spectra are identifed, from which the acid species are quantified, as demonstrated in Figure 3B.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for determining the risk of developing a complication of preterm birth in a patient born before 40 weeks of gestation or weighing 10 % less than the average for the patient's gestational age. The method involves measuring serum IGF-I and/or IGF-I binding protein levels after birth of the patient to obtain an IGF-I or IGF binding protein level; and correlating said IGF-I or IGF-I  binding protein level with an in utero baseline level of IGF-I binding protein based on gestational age matched mean levels in utero, wherein an IGF-I or IGF-I binding protein level below the mean gestational age in utero level indicates the patient is at an increased risk of developing a complication of preterm birth. The complications of preterm birth include retinopathy of prematurity, developmental delay, mental retardation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and intraventricular hemorrhage. Methods for treating/preventing complications of preterm birth are also provided.

Inventor: CRAWFORD EDWARD F
IPC: F28F27/02
Filed: 2003-06-02
Abstract: The working fluid circuit of the present invention includes an exhaust gas passage through which exhaust gas under pressure flows from the internal combustion engine, a charge air passage, and a turbocharger . An exhaust gas recirculation passage extends between the exhaust gas passage and the charge air passage, but bypasses the turbocharger and provides a path for recirculating a predetermined amount of exhaust gas into the charge air passage in such a way that the exhaust gas and the charge air are mixed together. An intake passage provides intake air to the internal combustion engine. A single charge air cooler is operatively interconnected to and provides fluid communication between the charge air passage and the intake passage and acts to cool the mixed charge air and the recirculated exhaust gas prior to induction into the internal combustion engine through the intake passage.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un assemblage de roulement à billes (10) dont la bague intérieure (16) est divisée en une moitié chargée (18) et une moitié non chargée (19). Une cage repose (48, 50) sur les moitiés de bague intérieure (18, 19) qui supportent la bague de la cage (30). Une rainure annulaire (34) possédant une section transversale non rectangulaire est placée au niveau de l'alésage de la bague intérieure et au niveau de la face divisée (22). Plusieurs rainures radiales (44) s'étendent dans la face divisée (22) d'une moitié de la bague intérieure (18, 19) afin de former des passages radiaux entre la rainure annulaire (34) et la bague intérieure (26) en vue d'entraîner l'huile avec des forces centrifuges recueillies dans la rainure annulaire (34), dans la bague intérieure (26). La section inférieure de la rainure annulaire (34) agit comme un réservoir (38) afin d'alimenter tous les passages radiaux (44) et afin de fournir un temps de séjour plus long à l'huile se trouvant sur les surfaces de la bague intérieure chargée. Le réservoir annulaire (38) compense la périphérie de l'alimentation en huile dans les passages de la face divisée radiale (44) et augmente le transfert de chaleur de l'huile lorsqu'il se situe dans la moitié de bague intérieure chargée (18) où la génération principale de chaleur de frottement a lieu. Il en résulte, que la moitié chargée (18) de la bague intérieure (26) est refroidie de façon préférentielle.
