Title: Non-hazardous pest control
Inventor: BEIGLER MYRON A
IPC: A01N25/08
Filed: 1998-04-23
Abstract: A pesticide and a method of using the pesticide to kill invertebrates, especially insects, arachnids and larvae. The method is to prepare a mixture of a carrier with the pesticide and apply the mixture to the insects, arachnids and larvae and their habitat. The pesticide is a neurotransmitter affector utilizing octopamine receptor sites in the insects, arachnids and larvae. The affector agent is a chemical having a six-membered carbon ring having substituted thereon at least one oxygenated functional group. The affector agent is a chemical component of a plant essential oil and is naturally occurring. Deposition of the chemicals of the present invention on a surface provides residual toxicity for up to 30 days. Various carriers for the affector agent are disclosed. The chemicals of the present invention deter feeding of insects, arachnids and larvae and also retard growth of the larvae of the insects and arachnids.

Title: Data transaction assembly server
Inventor: MARTINO ROCCO L
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1998-06-22
Abstract: A form driven operating system which permits dynamic reconfiguration of any host processor into a virtual machine supporting any of a number of operating system independent applications. A data transaction assembly server (TAS 18) downloads menus and forms unique to each application requiring data to be input for processing. The data transactions and forms  are exchanged between the TAS (18) and a remote processor in real-time so that virtually any operating system independent software application may be implemented in which a form driven operating system may be used to facilitate input, data input into the form may be processed, returned as a data stream, and displayed to the user. The TAS requires a flash PROM (95) for storing the TAS  control firmware, a RAM (96) for storing the data streams making up the forms and menus, and a small RAM (97) which operates as an input/output transaction buffer for storing the data streams of the template and the user replies to the prompts during assembly of a data transaction. The transaction entry device (12) including the TAS (18) may be integrated with a telephone and accessed via conventional data input devices.

Title: Nucleic acid sequence and method for selectively expressing a protein in a target cell or tissue
Inventor: FRAZIER IAN
IPC: A61K35/76
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: A synthetic nucleic acid sequence and a method are disclosed for selectively expressing a protein in a target cell or tissue of a mammal. Selective expression is effected by replacing at least one existing codon of a parent nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein of interest with a synonymous codon to produce a synthetic nucleic acid sequence having altered translational kinetics compared to the parent nucleic acid sequence. The synonymous codon is selected such that it corresponds to an iso-tRNA which, when compared to an iso-tRNA  corresponding to the at least one existing codon, is in higher abundance in the target cell or tissue relative to one or more other cells or tissues of the mammal.

Abstract: The present invention presents a system and method of providing information retrieved from a server from across a communication network that has been personalized with private information that is not disclosed by the server. The document is retrieved from the server via a standard document serving protocol channel.  Before serving the document to the client, the private information is retrieved from a local storage device and merged with the information in the document to produce a customized document. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the process is implemented by a proxy server or a client-side proxy server connected to a standard conventional browser. The proxy server can provide filters and a scripting service to make the process of customizing the information transparent to the normal document serving protocols.

Patent CA-2304559-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MICHAELS RICHARD J
IPC: G02B13/00
Filed: 1998-09-21
Abstract: Objective lenses for endoscopes are made substantially of sapphire. The high refractive index of sapphire results in optical components with shallower curvatures, leading to smaller geometric aberrations, and consequently fewer components are required to correct for these aberrations, Chromatic aberrations are less severe because of sapphire's low dispersion. The objectives may be either of the landscape or retrofocus type, and are compact with moderate field of view, low f-number, and less distortion than most conventional designs.

Patent CA-2310476-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANTINI JOHN
IPC: F16D66/02
Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a brake monitoring system for trucks, tractors, trailers or buses (class 6, 7 & 8 vehicles) using air brakes. In particular the present invention provides apparatus to monitor the braking system and the brake pad S-CAM  positioning comprising a positioning transducer which can convert the rotational movement of the brake cam shaft S-CAM to an electrical signal. This signal is used as the input to a microprocessor system for further analysis and comparison in determining the condition of the S-CAM operations. The transducer signal not only provides the S-CAM  position, but the speed of rotation both in braking and release of the brakes. There are many variables that can change the brake shoe application from the source (actuator canister) to the S-CAM including brake drum wear, worn S-CAM bushing, brake pad wear, worn pins & rollers, brake drum failure expanse(cracked drum), worn slack adjusters, pinched airlines, worn or broken return springs, brake chamber diaphragm braking, faulty modulator valve and brake release. After analyzing the signal from the transducer with a microprocessor system some of the failure of the braking system can be detected. By comparing the signal from different wheels, the system can detect delays of applying brakes or delays of releasing brakes which also could be a failure condition of the air brake system.

Patent CA-2318688-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAYDON THOMAS H
IPC: F16D65/18
Filed: 2000-09-12
Abstract: An aircraft brake assembly, wherein the actuator portion of the brake assembly is no longer provided as part of the brake assembly but instead as part of the aircraft landing gear. Accordingly, the actuator portion or individual actuators assemblies are designated as Line Replacement Units (LRUs), which are replaceable independently of other brake components, e.g., the torque tube and heat sink, which then comprise the brake assembly designated as a separate LRU.  This new arrangement is particularly suited to electro-mechanically actuated brakes, where actuator maintenance intervals will typically be more closely related to landing gear maintenance intervals than to brake maintenance (i.e., hydraulic actuator and/or heat sink maintenance). The invention also provides for more effective and desirable mounting of one or more electro-mechanical actuators wherein reactionary loads are transferred in compression as opposed to in tension through mounting bolts or other removable fasteners.

Title: Method of drying moist organic material
Inventor: FINGERSON CONRAD F
IPC: F26B3/06
Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: A method for drying moist organic material (101) which is continuously supplied in a stream (103) which further includes passing hot air (105) through the moist organic material in a part of the stream to absorb an amount of moisture, whereby the moist organic material cools the hot air into warm air. The warm air is reheated after it exits the moist organic material to form reheated air with increased capability of absorbing moisture, and the reheated air is passed through the moist organic material further upstream, which has a greater moisture content. The drying can preferably be performed in five minutes or less. A method for drying moist organic material using hot air includes providing the moist organic material in a continuous material stream, and providing the hot air in a continuous air stream. The air stream flows in a direction generally opposite to that of the material stream.  The air stream is passed perpendicularly through the material stream at a plurality of zones, whereby the hot air absorbs an amount of moisture from the moist organic material in each zone. The air stream is reheated after it exits the material stream at one zone and before it enters the material stream at another zone further upstream.
