Abstract: The present invention provides a device for electrically connecting electrical conductors (30, 30') of two adjacent sections (14, 18) of a multi-phase electrical distribution system (10). The connecting device includes a generally cylindrical body (38) enclosing two ground connectors (90), two outside insulators (110) and two inside insulators (114). Each of the outside and inside insulators (110, 114) includes an equal number of semi-circular shaped electrical connectors (158) which are arranged such that each electrical connector (158) on one of the outside insulators (110) has a corresponding electrical connector (158) on one of the inside insulators (114) thus forming a pocket (162). Each pocket (162) receives one electrical conductor (30, 30') from each of the two adjacent sections (14, 18) of the electrical distribution system (10). Electrical conductors (30, 30') of the two adjacent sections (14, 18) of the electrical distribution system (10) sharing a common pocket (162) are electrically connected by the corresponding electrical connectors (158) forming that pocket (162) as two outside insulators (110) are drawn toward the two inside insulators (114).

Title: Device for pets
Inventor: STEWART FRANCES TODD
IPC: A01K15/02
Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: A combination scratching post with a touch activated component and motorized mechanism for domestic cats that moves a mouse toy in an irregular manner that is intended to attract cats for the purpose of using the scratching post for play and exercise as well as grooming in the form of cleaning and sharpening its claws on the scratching post. The mouse toy is constructed in such a way as to allow the inside to be filled and refilled with catnip, a substance which cats find attractive, each time being resealed by means of an enclosure at the base of the toy. The mouse toy is activated to move via a motor inside the scratching post by a two step procedure. First, the device is "turned on" by a switch at the base of the post. This action does not activate the motor. Instead, it activates the touch-activated components and motorized mechanism which cause the coiled spring at the top of the post to turn and move in an irregular motion related to the power and frequency of the force applied to the post or base. This irregular pattern of movement of the mouse toy is intended to create greater interest in the toy from the cat, challenging the cat into play and encouraging the cat to use the scratching post for exercise and grooming.

Title: Biologically safe plant transformation system
Inventor: YODER JOHN T
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1991-07-01
Abstract: This invention relates to methods for producing transgenic plants that contain a gene of interest and that are free of foreign ancillary nucleic acids. These methods allow for the production of plants which thus contain a desired gene, but which are free of vector sequences and/or marker sequences used to transform the plant. The method of transforming such plant calls for transforming the plants with a gene of interest by introduction of the gene on a DNA construct comprising a transposon and foreign ancillary nucleic acids; crossing the transformed plant through self-crossing or with another plant to obtain Fi or more removed generation progeny; and utilizing a means for selecting those progeny that carry the gene of interest and are free of the ancillary nucleic acids. Such progeny may be detected biochemically, by Southern hybridization, through the use of polymerase chain reaction procedures and other methods available in the art.

Patent CA-2321203-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAMENTSKY LOUIS A
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 1999-03-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'analyse par balayage laser d'une petite partie sélectionnée de cellules de prélèvements dans une zone fixe et très localisée d'une lamelle porte-objet, ces cellules étant d'abord spécifiquement sélectionnées pour présenter un intérêt au balayage. Les prélèvements peuvent être prétraités avec une substance adhésive spécifiquement adaptée aux caractéristiques des cellules sélectionnées, les cellules spécifiques étant ainsi rendues adhésives. La lamelle porte-objet est ensuite localement pourvue d'une matière adhésive ou d'un dispositif adhésif à action conjointe, ou d'un dispositif de filtrage se trouvant dans une position de barrière non gênante, un nombre statistiquement important de cellules sélectionnées n'atteignant pas la barrière ou adhérant à cette dernière alors que le reste de cellules non sélectionnées est retiré de la barrière. La barrière est ensuite balayée par le cytomètre à balayage laser avec une efficacité accrue. Les matières adhésives recouvrent la surface de la zone de barrière ou alors elles comprennent des particules à sensibilité magnétique. Dans le dernier mode de réalisation, un aimant localisé est disposé à côté de la zone de barrière pour faire adhérer des cellules sélectionnées magnétisées à la zone de barrière. Les cellules intéressantes peuvent constituer une classe ou un ensemble de cellules comprenant un sous-ensemble (par exemple des leucocytes et des monocytes), des caractéristiques du sous-ensemble étant intéressantes à analyser. Ainsi, on utilise des réactifs initiaux pour l'adhérence et des réactifs supplémentaires pour le marquage du sous-ensemble et l'analyse des caractéristiques voulues.

IPC: A61F2/844
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: An expandable endovascular prosthesis comprising: body having a proximal end and a distal end; a first expandable portion disposed between the proximal end and the distal end, the tubular first expandable portion being expandable from a first, unexpanded state to a second, expanded state with a radially outward force thereon to urge the first expandable portion against a vascular lumen; and a second expandable portion attached to the first tubular expandable portion; the second expandable portion being expandable upon expansion of the tubular first expandable portion.
