Patent CA-2618996-A1 (CA)
Title: Improvements in the stabilisation of biological materials
Inventor: MOSS DAVID
IPC: A61K9/16
Filed: 2006-08-31
Abstract: Biological materials such as vaccines can be stabilised in certain glassy materials, soluble in water. It has been proposed to form these glassy materials as a powder suspended in a non-aqueous liquid for injection into a patient. There is a problem in maintaining the suspension because the particles tend to sink to the bottom. The problem is solved by adding a blowing agent into a solution for which the glass is formed. The blowing agent decomposes as the solution evaporates thereby forming cavities in the resulting glass structure, reducing its density to match that of the liquid in which it is to be suspended. Other uses for the invention are in compositions intended for inhalation and for rapid dissolution in aqueous solutions immediately before use.

Abstract: Multi-directional, one-piece, tested and rated, inside-mount fire barriers requiring no splicing to fit into expansion joint corner-type spaces are presented.  Accompanying low-cost, re-useable, size-adjustable installation tools designed for one-step, drop-in, installation of each style barrier, are also taught. To insure a tight-fit between each installed barrier and the building units forming the joint space, spreader press-fit tools which, if desired, may serve as fire barriers covers are taught. Described herein is a barrier that needs no splicing to be installed into a T-shaped joint space that is created by the convergence of three building structures. The present invention contemplates inside--mounted, one-piece barriers shaped to fit cross-shaped and various L-shaped expansion spaces. L-shaped fire barriers include barriers having a horizontal and a vertical arm that can occur in various configurations and barriers having two horizontal arms.

Inventor: KIRO SHMUEL
IPC: G06K9/46
Filed: 2008-05-21
Abstract: A method executed by a computer system for detecting edges comprises receiving an image comprising a plurality of pixels, determining a phase congruency value for a pixel, where the phase congruency value comprises a plurality of phase congruency components, and determining if the phase congruency value satisfies a phase congruency criteria. If the phase congruency value satisfies the phase congruency criteria, the computer system categorizes the pixel as an edge pixel. If the phase congruency value does not satisfy the phase congruency criteria, the computer system compares a first phase congruency component of the plurality of phase congruency components to a phase congruency component criteria. If the first phase congruency component satisfies the phase congruency component criteria, the computer system categorizes the pixel as an edge pixel, and if the first phase congruency component does not satisfy the phase congruency component criteria, categorizes the pixel as a non-edge pixel.

Title: Method for determining a value of a property of oil extracted from a sample
Inventor: LARTER STEPHEN RICHARD
IPC: G01N33/28
Filed: 2008-08-05
Abstract: A process is described for measuring a property of oil extracted from a sample, for example, the viscosity or den-sity. The oil is extracted from the sample using a volatile polar first solvent. A portion of the extracted oil is used to determine a concentration factor. A dry weight of the oil in the sample is calculated using the concentration factor. A second solvent less volatile than the first solvent is added to the remaining extract. The first solvent is substantially removed from the remaining extract Dif-ferent amounts of the second solvent are removed from each of a series of sub-samples taken from the remaining extract. Solvent concentrations and viscosity values and/or density values of the solvent-oil mixtures are measured for each sub-sample. Based on the measured solvent concentrations and viscosity values and/or density values, the second-solvent free viscosity and/or density of the oil in the sample is estitnated.
