Patent CA-2302659-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BIENICK CRAIG
IPC: B29C43/18
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: A peripherally encapsulated product, such as an oven door outer shell, is molded in accordance with this invention by placing a piece of glass between mold clamping portions of relatively movable closed bodies when the latter are in an open position.  Preferably both bodies are heated and thermosetting polymeric material (SMC or BMC) is placed upon selected areas of one of the mold bodies within and about an area corresponding to an annular mold cavity and outboard of a peripheral edge of a piece of glass.  The glass is clamped between mold clamping portions of the mold bodies which are then progressively closed creating compression forces which extrude the thermosetting polymeric material into the annular cavity and into complete encapsulation of the continuous peripheral edge of the piece of glass. The thermosetting polymeric material is cured, the mold bodies are opened and the product is removed therefrom. The encapsulated product can be provided with post-formed vent openings and/or handle attaching openings or the handle can be integrally molded during the molding process.
Patent CA-2303201-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YOKOI HARUHIKO
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 1998-07-02
Abstract: A technique for gene expression specific to cells free from a specific transcription factor, which comprises constructing a recombinase expression unit wherein a recombinase gene is located in the downstream of a promoter depending on the specific transcription factor and another unit wherein two target sequences of a desired gene to be expressed and the recombinase are located in the downstream of another promoter; and infecting cells with these units. According to this technique, in cells carrying the specific transcription factor, the recombinase is expressed and thus recombination occurs between the recognition sequences, whereby the target gene is not expressed but deleted. In cells free from the specific transcription factor, on the other hand, the recombinase is not expressed and thus no recombination occurs between the recognition sequences, which allows the expression of the target gene.
