Patent CA-2586157-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANDRESSOO JAAN OLLE
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2005-11-15
Abstract: The current invention pertains to a method for screening and discovery of compounds capable of inhibiting, preventing, delaying or reducing genome maintenance disorders and consequences thereof, in particular ageing related symptoms and disorders. The current invention provides a method for screening and discovery of compounds that are capable of inhibiting, preventing, delaying or reducing genome maintenance disorders and consequences thereof.  The invention exploits animal models that comprise deficiencies in their genome maintenance systems, such as DNA repair systems, and display premature, enhanced, accelerated or segmental ageing phenotypes. These animal models can be advantageously applied to screen compounds and thereby develop schemes of intervention to treat, delay, inhibit, prevent or cure ageing related symptoms. The current invention thus provides a new and powerful tool to screen and/or discover therapeutically active compounds to treat ageing related symptoms and diseases. On the same basis it permits screening and discovery of compounds that influence ischemia, reperfusion damage in organ/tissue transplantation, chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.

Inventor: BECKER DAVID A
IPC: F01N13/02
Filed: 2006-04-10
Abstract: A reactor cartridge includes a plurality of spaced- apart monoliths , formed along a tube or other mandrel . Each monolith is formed of a pair of flat and corrugated metal strips , spirally wound around the tube . These strips could be made of solid or screen material . The corrugations are skewed, such that the monolith imparts a swirl to gases flowing through it . The corrugations of the strips in adjacent monoliths are oriented differently, so that successive monoliths impart different swirls to the gases, so as to promote mixing of gases and better heat transfer from the exterior to the interior of the cartridge. An insertion and removal tool simplifies the procedure for stacking such cartridges in a long pipe, or for removing cartridges from the pipe. The all-metal construction facilitates heat transfer through the entire reactor, and avoids the problems associated with packed ceramic beds.

Title: Bone plate with variable torsional stiffness at fixed angle holes
Inventor: ORBAY JORGE L
IPC: A61B17/80
Filed: 2007-11-06
Abstract: A bone plate includes at least one torsional modification feature (TMF). Each TMF is structured to decrease the torsional rigidity of the plate relative to longitudinally opposite portions, but may be modified to increase the torsional rigidity thereat. Each TMF is defined by beams contiguous with the lateral sides of the plate, and an opening extending laterally therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, opposed projections extend into the opening to define threaded discontinuous wall portions for receiving an insert, such as a set screw. In one embodiment, bioabsorbable and/or bioactive inserts may be used to temporarily increase the torsional rigidity of the plate during initial fixation and thereafter have reduced torsional rigidity to mimic normal callus. The plate is preferably used with fixed angle fasteners that may be subject to high torsional loads post--operatively.

Patent CA-2610579-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KURIHARA SHINICHI
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2007-11-14
Abstract: In a transport stream distribution system, a transmission rate control unit periodically corrects internal clocks on the basis of times generated from a time generation unit to generate the same time stamps as those of a system of a time stamp of four-bytes (TTS) to be added to transport stream (TS) packets by using the corrected clocks. In this state, the system takes in an IP packet output from an IP transmission processing unit, obtains a TTS to be added to an arbitrary TS packet in the IP packet, and compares the TTS with a time stamp generated internally to determine whether both of them coincide with each other or not.  And if they coincide with each other, the system takes in a TTS of the next TS packet, and otherwise, the system obtains a difference between a time indicating the TTS and the time indicating the internally generated time stamp to calculate a transmission rate correction value equivalent to the value of the difference, and issues the calculated correction value to the processing unit to correct a transmission rate.

Title: Wastewater flow equalization system and method
Inventor: GRAVES JAN D
IPC: C02F3/02
Filed: 2008-01-08
Abstract: A wastewater treatment mechanism includes an interior chamber having a peripheral wall preferably provided with two diametrically opposite openings in each of which is received a flow port member having a flow equalization port therein. Depending upon wastewater levels and surges, the flow port members can be removed and replaced by other flow port members of an identical construction, except for different sizes of design flow equalization ports thereof. Therefore, should a wastewater treatment mechanism be installed initially in a wastewater treatment plant with accurately sized flow equalization ports to achieve desired flow characteristics and efficiency, should such flow characteristics change over time because of inefficient flow-through of wastewater, the originally installed flow port members can be readily removed and replaced with identical flow port members except for larger flow equalization ports thereof thereby returning the overall wastewater treatment mechanism to acceptable design flow equalization and efficiency.
