Patent CA-2405857-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KALLESEN DARRYL H
IPC: B23B39/06
Filed: 2002-10-01
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided which are particularly useful in determining the location for producing aligned holes or hangers in consecutive support members such as joists from which pipe, conduit, wire, duct, and the like, will be supported, with the minimum amount of measuring or errors in measurements. The present invention includes an instrument that houses a small diameter light beam projector, e.g., a laser light beam projector, that is provided with the ability to adjust the direction of beam projection from the instrument relative to its housing. The instrument is adapted to fit through a pre-bored hole or a hanging support so as to direct the laser light beam into the desired direction to locate additional bored holes or hangers. The projected beam position is checked and if there is error, the projector is adjusted within the instrument housing to properly place the beam center at the desired location with respect to second joist. In the case of a through hole, the second hole is drilled and the beam passes through the second hole to the third joist. The beam now accurately identifies the location for the third hole to be drilled and the procedure continues through the joists to the desired termination of the conduit.

Title: Preparations comprising combinations of enzyme inhibitors, and the use thereof
Inventor: BROCKE STEFAN
IPC: A61P37/06
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method which permits, owing to the simultaneous a nd joint inhibition of the enzyme activities of (I) alanyl-aminopeptidase and dipeptidyl-peptidase IV, (II) of the dipeptidyl-peptidase IV and the angiotensin-converting enzyme, (III) of the dipeptidyl-peptidase IV and prol yl- oligopeptidase, and of (IV) the dipeptidyl-peptidase IV and the X-Pro- aminopeptidase, to inhibit DNA synthesis and thus the proliferation of mononuclear cells as well as of T cells to an extent which cannot be obtaine d by the individual application of said enzyme inhibitors even when used in higher doses. Although the above-mentioned inhibitors influence the same process, namely DNA synthesis and thus the proliferation of immune cells, th is effect is not complete and not long-lasting when the inhibitors are used individually. The functional overlapping of the enzymatic activities results , as is supported by the experimental data, in an additive/super-additive inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis and the proliferation resulting from the simultaneous inhibition of a plurality of the above enzymes. The invention shows that the simultaneous application of inhibiting substances of the abov e- mentioned enzymes or of corresponding preparations and forms of administrati on is suitable for the therapy of autoimmune diseases and chronic diseases with  an inflammatory genesis as well as for the treatment of post-transplant rejection episodes.

Inventor: MONETA ROLAND MILES
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2002-06-14
Abstract: An artificial lift system used to produce fluids from boreholes such as oil and gas wells. The system uses a progressive cavity (PC) downhole pump system (100) which can be inserted into the borehole, seated, operated, flushed and removed using conventional or coiled sucker rod tubing. No special tubing is required to radially anchor the PC pump to the tubing. The PC pump system has improved flushing capabilities which reduces the length of the system. The system is less costly to manufacture and to maintain than prior art PC pump systems. The pump can be relocated without pulling tubing. Different displacement volumes and lifts can be substituted in existing installations without major changes to equipment installed in the tubing string.

Abstract: A fish processing apparatus for extracting fish roe. A pair of conveyor belts having pockets travel along a frame having infeed and outfeed locations. Fish are placed belly-up in the pockets at the infeed location and travel over a cutting instrument that severs the backbone, after which, both the belts and the two pieces of backbone (and the fish) are forced apart by a v-shaped separator. As the fish are torn into two pieces, the pieces are held in the pockets by way of a pair of parallel bars positioned above the belts. As the belts are forced to diverge by the separator, the bars act to squeeze the roe towards a central gap in the v-shaped separator and frame where it drops down a chute to a collection area. The remaining pieces of fish fall out of the belts at the outfeed location.
