Patent CA-2154597-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARIL CLARENCE
IPC: A47B81/00
Filed: 1995-07-25
Abstract: Le "support à baril" est un support compact servant à ranger de façon verticale différentS instruments à partir d'un mécanisme innovateur faisant intervenir unerondelle de caoutchouc logée dans une cavité à l'intérieur même du support. Le support qui est fixé à une structure permanente, tel un mur, affiche de minces couvertures verticales de largeur légèrement supérieure à la largeur de l'instrument qu'on veut remiser. Afin de ranger un instrument dans le support, on introduit ce dernier du bas vers le haut de l'ouverture choisie et on le laisse redescendre délicatement. A ce moment le déplacement de la rondelle de caoutchouc dans la cavité coince l'instrument entre la paroi et la rondelle. L'instrument est ainsi maintenu en place par la force gravitationnelle, et se dégage aussi aisément pour son utilisation en repoussant celuici vers le haut.

Filed: 1995-08-08
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un jouet multiforme qui donne l'apparence de quatre véhicules et construit en utilisant deux longs côtés parallèles opposés, mais d'allure différente et en plaçant des emplacements d'essieux au haut et au bas des longs côtés. Un utilisateur, en tournant, tête-bêche, les longs côtés de 180 degrés et en déplaçant les roues sur les essieux en bas, obtient quatre véhicules différents. Une glissière sur la paroi d'un long côté permet à un panneau installé sur cette glissière de se déplacer sous l'effet de la gravité lors d'une rotation du jouet, pour couvrir ou pour découvrir une particularité comme une fenêtre. Le jouet multiforme peut aussi servir de jouet ou de gabarit de construction de plusieurs véhicules à la fois.

Title: Reporter enzyme release technology: methods of assaying for the presence of aspartic proteases and other hydrolytic enzyme activities
Inventor: LAWRENCE PAUL J
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 1994-04-13
Abstract: Methods of assaying for the presence of enzymatically active hydrolases (i.e., hydrolytic enzymes) in a sample or specimen are disclosed. In particular, a method of detecting candidiasis by assaying for the presence of enzymatically active aspartic protease in a sample is provided. In these methods, a sample or specimen is contacted with a solid support. The solid support with which the sample is contacted has a reporter enzyme (i.e., a signal generating enzyme) immobilized thereon. The reporter enzyme is immobilized the solid support in a manner such that it is released from the solid support upon action of the enzymatically active hydrolase if the enzymatically active hydrolase is, in fact, present in the sample. The sample after having been contacted with the solid support is combined with an indicator. The indicator is any chemical species which is susceptible to a detectable change, usually a change in color, upon action of the reporter enzyme. A detectable change in the indicator is an indication that the enzymatically active hydrolase is present in the sample. Moreover, the presence of an enzymatically active hydrolase in a sample may indicate the presence of a particular pathogen or disease state such as, for example, candidiasis. In addition to the methods of assaying for the presence of enzymatically active aspartic protease and other hydrolytic enzymes, a dry, self-contained test device for assaying for the presence of an enzymatically active hydrolase in a sample is disclosed. In particular, a dry, self-contained test device for testing a sample for the presence of candidiasis by assaying for the presence of enzymatically active aspartic protease is also disclosed. These test devices combine a reporter enzyme immobilized on a solid support, an indicator, and all other reagents and components necessary to achieve a detectable indication of the presence or absence of the enzymatically active hydrolase whose presence is being detected in the sample, and preferred embodiments contain positive and negative controls as well.

Title: Process for producing corrosion resistant and wear resistant layers on materials that are based on iron
Inventor: HOPPE STEFFEN DR
IPC: C23C8/34
Filed: 1996-07-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing corrosion resistant and wear resistant layers on materials that are based on iron, in which the areas that are close to the surface are enriched with nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen.      In order to produce an iron-based material with a particularly durable and effective corrosion and wear resistant layer, it is proposed that, in a first step of the process, the material is subjected to nitrocarburation in order to form a connective layer consisting of iron carbonitrides. The material is then subjected to a plasma-assisted low-pressure process to activate the surface of the material that has the connective layer, before an unbroken and even oxide layer is formed on the existing connective layer during subsequent oxidation.      Corrosion and wear resistant layers with service lives clearly superior to known protective layers in standardized corrosion tests are obtained by the activation of the connective layer formed in the nitrocarburation process during the plasma-assisted low-pressure process.

Title: Improvements to methods for heat treating flue gas cleaning residues and residues from the industrial process generating said flue gases
Inventor: VICARD JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: F23G5/00
Filed: 1995-04-28
Abstract: An improvement to methods for heat treating flue gas cleaning residues (1) and residues from the industrial process generating said flue gases. For this purpose, the method comprises a physicochemical treatment step (2, 7), a heat treatment step (13) and a step involving treating gases generated by said heat treatment (19, 22, 28). These three steps are closely overlapped and combined both to minimise the volatilisation of volatile compounds during heat treatment and to remove separately the elements that cannot effectively be immobilised in the treated residue matrix during said heat treatment. The physicochemical treatment step may advantageously be combined with the wet cleaning step that may be included in the industrial process flue gas cleaning step. The method is particularly suitable for melting/vitrifying fly ash, agglomerating the finest fly ash, and destroying organic compounds such as dioxins and furans.
