Patent CA-2163526-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YOKOYAMA SHIRO
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1994-08-22
Abstract: Les acides nucléiques isolés, visés par la présente invention, peuvent conférer à une cellule une multiplication par un facteur égal au moins à 5 de la résistance au cis-diamminedichloroplatine (CDDP), par rapport à une cellule sensible au CDDP. Ces acides nucléiques peuvent en outre conférer aux cellules une résistance aux métaux lourds tels que le cadmium et le cuivre. L'invention porte également sur les protéines isolées codées par les acides nucléiques visés par l'invention. Les acides nucléiques isolés et les protéines isolées de l'invention sont utiles pour conférer une résistance au CDDP à des cellules telles que des cellules non malignes chez un patient atteint d'une tumeur et subissant un traitement au CDDP. D'une autre manière, la résistance d'une cellule au CDDP peut être inhibée en soumettant cette cellule à un agent qui inhibe l'activité de la protéine visée par l'invention, par exemple pour inverser la résistance au CDDP d'une cellule tumorale. L'invention porte également sur des méthodes d'identification des substances qui inhibent la résistance d'une cellule au CDDP ou qui sont des agents chimiques de sensibilisation du CDDP. L'invention porte enfin sur des méthodes d'identification des cellules tumorales résistant au CDDP par utilisation des acides nucléiques et des protéines visés par l'invention.

Title: Advanced subscriber outage notification methods
Inventor: TAYLOE DANIEL RICHARD
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 1996-03-28
Abstract: Advanced subscriber outage notification methods (100) notify a user of a subscriber unit (30) that its call is going to be dropped. The subscriber unit (30), the satellite (20) or the mobile telecommunication system (10) first predicts whether an outage is going to occur and how much time there is before the outage. Second, the subscriber unit (30) notifies the user of the outage and the time remaining before the outage. Third, the subscriber unit (30) waits for whether the user wants to end the call. Next, the subscriber unit (30), the satellite (20) or the mobile telecommunication system (10) terminates the call if the user wants to end the call. Lastly, the mobile telecommunication system (10) drops the call once the time remaining before the outage expires.

Patent CA-2192398-A1 (CA)
Title: Crawler-belt vehicle
Inventor: MATSUMOTO NAOKI
IPC: B62D55/02
Filed: 1996-12-09
Abstract: A crawler-belt vehicle is a half crawler vehicle having front wheels furnished with tires, and crawlers on a rear wheel side composed of crawler belts extending between intermediate wheels and rear wheels. The front wheels are larger in diameter than the intermediate wheels and the rear wheels and, hence, have a large ground-contact surface area. Thus, while the vehicle is running on snow, the front wheels are not apt to sink in the snow to a greater extent with the result that the turning characteristic and breakthrough characteristic of the vehicle can be improved. The intermediate wheels may be set to toe in so as to prevent detachment of the crawler belts which would otherwise occur when the sub-beams are slightly flexed or deformed in a lateral outward direction under loads applied thereto while the vehicle is traveling at high speeds on the snow. In order to reduce side slips of the crawler belts, an intermediate line extending parallel to, and passing substantially intermediately between, an axle centerline of the intermediate wheels and an axle centerline of the rear wheels is arranged to meet with a turning center of the right front wheel, and a turning center of the left front wheel at the same point.~~

Title: Batch process for recycling hydrocarbon containing used material
Inventor: BOUZIANE RICHARD
IPC: C10G1/10
Filed: 1997-01-10
Abstract: A pyrolysis batch process is disclosed for recycling hydrocarbon containing used material such as plastics including ABS, polystyrene styrene and other non-chlorinated hydrocarbons, car fluff such as solid plastics, foam plastics, fabrics and the like, and more particularly scrap tires so as to obtain useful light oil and fuel gases. Used tire cuttings are loaded into a rotatable reactor which is closed, evacuated, rotated and heated until exothermic reaction is initiated. The reactor internal pressure is then allowed to increase to and is regulated within the range of atmospheric pressure and above. Upon continuing reactor rotation and heating, condensable hydrocarbon vapors and gaseous hydrocarbons are produced. The vapors are condensed into oil while the gaseous hydrocarbons are used as a fuel for reactor heating. At the end of the batching operation, the reactor is air cooled prior to reactor opening and unloading of the solid residues namely carbon black residues, wire mesh and/or some other fibrous materials such as Kevlar® having a high temperature decomposition point.
Patent CA-2195830-A1 (CA)
Inventor: UEZONO KOUICHI
IPC: H01R9/24
Filed: 1997-01-23
Abstract: In a connector fixing construction, connectors are mounted on a printed circuit board, and wall portions, covering peripheral surfaces of the connectors, respectively, are formed on a cover covering the printed circuit board. Therefore, even if a lateral external force acts on the connector when a mating connector is inserted into and removed from the connector, the connector is prevented from being moved laterally, thereby certainly preventing damage, such as a crack, to solder portions by which terminals of the connector are connected to a circuit pattern.

Un support en dessous du réservoir externe présente un second espace d'air entre le réservoir externe et la surface d'appui au sol, et une couche d'isolation thermique enveloppe sensiblement le réservoir intérieur, le réservoir extérieur et le support de l'air ambiant. Un conduit d'évacuation de vapeur est disposé au sommet de la cuve intérieure, qui peut comprendre un laveur liquide pour récupérer des liquides à partir des gaz de décharge et retourner le liquide dans la cuve intérieure ou ailleurs. Une tuyauterie est prévue pour la communication de liquide entre le réservoir intérieur et des sources liquides externes pour remplir et vider le réservoir intérieur. L'instrumentation permettant de mesurer la quantité de liquide dans le réservoir interne comprend un mécanisme d'arrêt pour arrêter l'écoulement du liquide à travers la tuyauterie de la cuve interne lorsque le liquide atteint un niveau prédéterminé dans le réservoir. Un détecteur accède au premier espace d'air pour détecter une fuite de liquide depuis le réservoir intérieur. Un échange d'air est favorisé entre les premier et second espaces d'air par une pluralité de colonnes montantes à extrémités ouvertes espacées autour du premier espace d'air et par une communication d'air avec le second espace d'air. Un dispositif de chauffage est de préférence prévu pour forcer la chaleur dans le second espace d'air, la chaleur étant distribuée à travers les colonnes dans le premier espace d'air et dans la cuve intérieure.
