Patent CA-2318286-A1 (CA)
Title: Multibinding agents that modulate ppar.gamma. and rxr receptors
Inventor: MORAN EDMUND J
IPC: C07C211/00
Filed: 1999-06-07
Abstract: Disclosed are novel multi-binding compounds (agents) which bind to PPAR.gamma.  receptors. The compounds of this invention comprise a plurality of ligands each of which can bind to such receptors thereby modulating the biological processes and/or functions thereof. The ligands are capable of binding to either a PPAR.gamma. receptor or a RXR receptor, so long as at least one ligand of the multi-binding compound binds to a PPAR.gamma. receptor. Each of the ligands is covalently attached to a linker or linkers which may be the same or different to provide for the multi-binding compound. The linker is selected such that the multi-binding compound so constructed demonstrates increased modulation of the biological processes mediated by the PPAR.gamma.  receptor.

Patent CA-2325811-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARNES JAMES J
IPC: B44C5/04
Filed: 2000-11-14
Abstract: The present invention is a metal memorial marker and a method of making the same. The invented marker is made of metal, preferably 1/8" to 1/2" thick, preferably with steel-chromium alloys, such as stainless steel, or a non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, brass, bronze, or copper. The present invention is created by taking a plate of the metal and making markings upon one of the surfaces of the plate, said markings denoting a decoration. A computer could be used to guide the cutting equipment by following a preprogrammed template, and as such markings upon one of the surfaces of the plate would not necessarily be necessary. A waterjet, plasma cutting torch, laser torch or other cutting equipment is then used to make cuts along the markings made on the surface of the plate. Cutting the plate in such a manner results in the creation of openings through the plate, said openings when viewed together forming a decorative pattern. Patterns that can be created using this method include lettering, silhouettes, and decorative artwork in general. The markers themselves can appear to be free standing, can be mounted upon and extend from the top surface of an existing monument, or can be mounted on a surface of an existing monument.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for installing a hollow threaded insert into a hole in a substrate having first and second surfaces. The insert has a hollow shaft having a first end portion, a second end portion and an intermediate portion. The insert has a front flange at the first end portion for engaging the front surface of the substrate around the hole. The second end portion of the shaft has an internal thread and, the intermediate portion forms a gripping means that engages the second surface when a force is applied that pulls the second end portion toward the first end portion. The method includes the steps of activating a rotatable drive so that the threaded portion of a mandrel rotates into the threaded portion of the insert until a nose retainer contacts the flange of the insert; moving the gun including a drive, drive shaft, mandrel and attached insert to place the shaft of the insert into the hole in the substrate so that the flange of the insert contacts the first surface of the substrate; pulling the second end portion of the insert toward the second surface of the substrate by a piston within a cylinder where the piston is connected to the drive shaft holding the mandrel so that the motion of the mandrel collapses the intermediate portion of the insert to grip the second surface of the substrate and so that the drive shaft moves in a slide coupling toward the drive; turning the drive in a reverse direction to disengage the mandrel from the threads in the insert;  and moving the gun in a direction away from the flange of the installed insert.  The apparatus of the invention includes structure for carrying out the method of the invention.
