Patent CA-2105741-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ITOH TERUAKI
IPC: B01L3/14
Filed: 1993-09-08
Abstract: An automatic vessel supplying and labeling apparatus takes out a desired vessel from racks, supplies it to a vessel supply position, and supplies a desired label, corresponding to the vessel, to a label supply position. At the vessel supply position, the vessel is rested on a pair of lower rollers of a label applying unit.  At the label supply position, a label detection sensor is arranged at a position between two coaxial members of one of a pair of upper rollers of the label applying unit. The label applying unit moves the lower rollers toward the upper rollers after the sensor detects the label at the label supply position, and sandwiches the label between the vessel and the upper rollers at the label supply position so that the label is applied on the vessel.  The label applying unit transfers the vessel on which the label has been applied, toward a judging unit. The judging unit checks the label on the vessel to judge whether the label is correctly applied to the vessel or not.  In accordance with the result of judgement, the vessel is sorted into one of two places, one place for collecting vessels with correctly applied labels and the other for collecting vessels without correctly applied labels.  Unlike conventional automatic test tubes supplying labeling apparatus the present invention applies the labels and is more reliable than the prior equipment.

Title: Wilson disease gene
Inventor: COX DIANE W
IPC: C12N9/14
Filed: 1993-10-21
Abstract: Wilson disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport, resulting in copper accumulation and toxicity to the liver and brain. The gene (locus WND) has been mapped to chromosome 13 band q14.3. On three overlapping yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) from this region, a sequence similar to the proposed copper binding motifs of the putative ATPase (MNK) defective in Menkes disease was identified. It was shown that this sequence forms part of a P-type ATPase gene (Wc1) that is very similar to MNK, with at least six putative metal binding domains homologous to those found in prokaryotic heavy metal transporters. This gene lies within a 300 kb region that has been identified as a likely location for WND. The gene is expressed in the liver and kidney and is a candidate for Wilson disease.

Title: Hydrocarbon upgrading process
Inventor: APELIAN MINAS R
IPC: C10G69/02
Filed: 1992-08-05
Abstract: Low sulfur gasoline of relatively high octane number is produced from, a catalytically cracked, sulfur-containing naphtha by hydrodesulfurisation followed by treatment over an acidic catalyst, preferably an intermediate pore size zeolite such as ZSM-5. The treatment over the acidic catalyst in the second step restores the octane loss which takes place as a result of the hydrogenative treatment arid results in a low sulfur gasoline product with an octane number comparable to that of the feed naphtha. A catalytically cracked naphtha from the FCC main column (10) is first hydrotreated in a hydrotreater (11) which it enters through inlet (12). From hydrotreater (11), the desulfurised naphtha passes through line (13) to the second reactor (14) in which it is contacted with ZSM-5 or another acidic catalyst, for example zeolite beta or MCM-22 where a controlled degree of cracking takes place with an octane, which was lost in the hydrotreater, being restored. The effluents from reactor (14) are separated and further processed.

Title: Outbound Signal Detector System and Method
Inventor: HESSLING JOHN B JR
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 1992-10-26
Abstract: A communication system has outbound information in the form of multi-bit messages is carried by cyclic waveforms (11) over an electric power distribution network. The signal is detected independently at any of a plurality of locations remote from the source by obtaining signal data through sampling of the cyclic waveform over a predetermined portion of successive cycles. The predetermined portion is divided into a plurality of predetermined ranges. From a predetermined number of bits at the start of each message, the particular predetermined range which contains the greatest signal strength is selected. For the remaining bits of the message, only those samples in the selected range are analyzed to detect the outbound message. To reject cross-talk, preselected ranges in which cross-talk signals are likely to appear are monitored, and in-phase messages are rejected when the signal strength in the in-phase range is less than the signal strength in at least one of the cross-talk ranges.

Filed: 1994-05-25
Abstract: A packet transmission method and apparatus prevents the holding of unavailable links daring packet transmission.      An embodiment of the present invention assumes the case of a packet transmission between a transmitting terminal and a receiving terminal over a path which includes seven links and six switches. The third and fifth switches provide first and second intermediate burst servers which have a buffer for temporarily holding a message packet and a function of the packet transmission. The function comprises requesting a link reservation, transmitting a message packet, storing a received-message packet, and releasing reserved links upon completing the transmission of the message packet. When the transmitting terminal transmits a message packet, a first end burst server starts the packet transmission including the link reservation to the first intermediate burst server, and when the packet transmission is completed, reserved links between those burst servers are released. The same packet transmission is repeated consecutively to each burst server up to the receiving terminal, if the link reservations are not blocked. If a link reservation is blocked, the packet transmission is held at the latest burst server, and either another link reservation of the same bandwidth is used or the transmission is converted to use another available bandwidth.

Abstract: A plasma arc torch for minimizing delay in exchanging gases within the torch.  The torch includes a metallic electrode, a conductive nozzle spaced apart from the electrode, and a gas plenum between the electrode and nozzle.  Two gas passageways are provided for communicating non-oxidizing and oxidizing gases into the plenum.  A plenum inlet check valve is associated with each gas passageway and is located in close proximity to the plenum.  The check valves are normally biased in a closed position but may be opened by gas pressure within the passageways to selectively introduce gas into the plenum.  Solenoid valves located upstream of the plenum check valves regulate the pressure and flow of gas within the passageways so as to open and close the plenum check valves.  Pilot arc and main arc power supplies are provided for generating an arc between the electrode and nozzle while the non-oxidizing gas flows through the plenum and for transferring the arc and sustaining it between the electrode and workpiece when oxidizing gas is introduced into the plenum.  Operation of the check valves and power supplies is coordinated so that the oxidizing and non-oxidizing gases are exchanged substantially simultaneously with transfer or termination of the arc.
