Patent CA-2164182-A1 (CA)
Title: Directional bone fixation device
Inventor: OCHOA JORGE A
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 1995-11-30
Abstract: A bone fixation device such as a screw, pin, staple, cable or anchor has a microtextured contact surface to enhance installation or gripping characteristics, preferably by providing directional or anisotropic engagement. A surface texture comprised of patterned microfeatures imparts a roughness or actual mechanical engagement that prevents loosening. In different embodiments the features resemble an array of microbumps or pyramids, or anisotropic features such as rasp teeth, shingles, or slanted cantilevered fiber/rods. The use of microbumps present a smaller surface area when moving, while providing full area contact after the surfaces have relaxed or decompressed; installation may be effected with low force, while high static or resting friction prevents disengagement. Features with directional asymmetry or angled suspension allow the textured surface to slide or deflect when the fixation device moves in one direction, while presenting a high resistance to torque or linear motion when moved in the other direction. Manufacturing is achieved with ion beams or directional treatment with energetic radiation, and regular arrays of the microfeatures may be produced as stationary surface growth phenomena without the use of pattern masks or mechanical contact. One manufacturing apparatus rotates the fixation device about a longitudinal axis while it is irradiated along an oblique axis. A bone pin may have centrally-directed spurs that allow a multi-segment fracture to be securely pinned without threading. An elastic fastener body such as a screw or pin can be pre-tensioned to place the bone under a torsional or compressive load, or introduce strain at the healing site.

Patent CA-2173562-A1 (CA)
Title: Support arm
Inventor: HANSEN HENNING
IPC: B25J18/00
Filed: 1996-04-04
Abstract: A support arm has stationary support structure, a boom, a knuckle and an auxiliary jib section. The boom connects at one end to the support structure and at an opposite end to one end of the knuckle, and an opposite end of the knuckle connects to one end of the auxiliary jib section. Each connection is a pivotal connection for pivoting about vertical pivot axes. An opposite end of the auxiliary jib section connects to a main jib section through a pivotal connection for pivoting about a horizontal axis. First and second flexible tubes connect across the knuckle and the auxiliary jib section between the boom and the main jib section. The flexible tubes extend from points on the main jib section in parallel horizontally spaced relationship and pass slippingly and in parallel longitudinally through parallel horizontally spaced guide sleeves that are connected on the auxiliary jib section. In the region of the knuckle the flexible tubes converge and cross over one another in a loosely curved configuration toward horizontally spaced points on the opposite end of the boom. A drive adjusts the elevation of the main jib section by pivoting it about the horizontal pivot axis, between an upper position parallel to the boom and a lower position inclined downwardly thereto. This arrangement allows vertical rise and fall of the main jib section and pivoting of the jib horizontally relative to the boom.

Title: Cross-reactive allergen
Inventor: MOHAPATRA SHYAM S
IPC: C12N15/29
Filed: 1995-01-16
Abstract: Screening of a Kentucky Bluegrass pollen-.lambda.gt11 library with sera from patients allergic to grass pollen led to the identification of a partial cDNA clone, KBG51. Nucleotide sequence analysis of KBG51 indicated that the polypeptide encoded by this cDNA is different from that of the known recombinant grass pollen allergens. Using murine antiserum to a GST-KBG51 fusion protein, produced with aid of pGEX-2T-1 expression system, two polypeptides of about 30 and 59 KDa in size, were detectable in SDS-PAGE immunoblot analysis of KBG pollen proteins. The reactivity of this antiserum, with a number of polypeptides, which ranged in size from 29.5 to 115 kDa, from pollen extracts of several grasses, birch, ragweed and parietaria and the hybridization of RT-PCR products from various pollens with ?diolabelled KBG51-cDNA,demonstrated the cross-reactivity (CR) of this AL with other pollen ALs. Because of the broad CR, the protein(s) corresponding to KBG51 has been designated as CRAL51. Analysis by ELISA using sera of about 1000 individuals worldwide who were allergic to pollens demonstrated that individuals from a variety of geographical areas possessed IgE antibodies that recognized the GST-KBG51 fusion protein. On the basis of these findings, CRAL51 represents a member of a family of highly cross-reactive ALs in plant pollens.

Patent CA-2188304-A1 (CA)
Title: Dewatering of wet particulate material
Inventor: YOON ROE-HOAN
IPC: C02F11/147
Filed: 1995-04-17
Abstract: Small, wet particulate material is effectively dried by adding a hydrophobizing agent to the wet particulate material to coat the surfaces of the particulates, and then using a gaseous fluid to mechanically remove water droplets from the surfaces of the particulates. Once on the surface of the particulates, the hydrophobizing reagent makes the particulates relatively more hydrophobic and increases the contact angle between the particulates and water preferably to an angle of 90 degrees or greater. The activity of the hydrophobizing reagent is to repel water. After altering the hydrophobicity of the particulates, the gaseous fluid, which is preferably air under pressure, is directed at mild pressure over the surfaces of the particulates to remove the water. Because the tendency of the hydrophobizing agent is to increase the particulates' tendency to repel water, the water is easily displaced from the surface of the particulates under mild conditions. The process can be used to dewater a wide variety of constituents including coal particles, clays, sulfide minerals, phosphorous compounds, metal oxide minerals, metals and waste sludge.
