Patent CA-2262912-C (CA)
Inventor: RICHARDSON TIMOTHY M
IPC: G02B21/36
Filed: 1999-02-24
Granted: 2004-10-19
Abstract: A novel series of field microscopes, which are designed for use in locations remote from conventional power sources or for in-lab use, are described. The enabling technology is the illuminator which is described in several embodiments which cover brightfield transmitted light, brightfield reflected light, darkfield transmitted light and darkfield reflected light as well as uni-directional oblique and slit-ultra illumination techniques. The light sources are modular so that they can be interchanged on the microscope, and they feature ultralow power and current consumption, integral dimming control, battery power and light weight. Optically the illuminators offer extremely flat field illumination along with excellent colour correction or selectable narrow wavelengths. The illuminators are characterised by high optical efficiency and small size. The microscope includes a novel focussing drive with torque limiting nature, a novel method of attaching the objectives, a novel mounting scheme to take advantage of existing camera tripods and novel adapters for film, video and digital cameras. A novel hydraulic fine focus drive is also discussed.

Granted: 2011-12-06
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP98/04927 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 14, 2000 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 14, 2000 PCT Filed Jul. 22, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO99/04970 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 4, 1999A fire-resistant glazing panel comprises at least two glass sheets, between which is placed a transparent fire-resistant material made of a cured alkali metal polysilicate hydrate. At least one glass sheet is provided, on its surface which is in contact with the fire-resistant material, with a primer layer, the adhesion of which to the fire-resistant layer decreases at the temperatures of the test of behaviour towards fire. At the temperature of the test of behaviour towards fire, the glass sheet exposed to the fire separates completely from the fire-resistant material. For this reason, the polysilicate fire-resistant shield remains intact, even when the glass sheet exposed to the fire shatters and when the fragments fall off.

Abstract: An air spring has a pair of spaced end members for mounting the spring at spaced locations on a structure. A flexible sleeve of elastomeric material is sealingly engaged with the end members and forms a pressurized fluid chamber therebetween. A post is mounted on one of the end members and extends into the fluid chamber. A shock absorbing two-piece bumper includes a rigid metal base which is formed as an inverted cup-shaped member with a cylindrical sidewall. The base is secured to one of the end members with the post extending into an open end of the base member. An elastomeric member is snap-fitted into a hole formed in an end closure wall of the base member and engages the opposite end member upon the air spring failing or experiencing a large deflection. In an alternate embodiment, a plurality of flexible fingers are formed from the cylindrical sidewall of the base and are snap-fit to the post to mount the base member on the post and on the one end member of the air spring.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un objet ferreux est rattaché ou intégré dans un article vestimentaire de golf de manière à être soumis à la force d'attraction magnétique d'un aimant d'un marqueur de balle. Un marqueur de balle magnétique conforme à l'invention présente un corps susceptible d'être estampé, peint, usiné ou pourvu, de toute autre manière, de décorations superficielles telles que des logos de tournois, des blasons de terrains de golf, des logos d'entreprises et autres symboles visuels qui sont appréciés des golfeurs. Toutefois, contrairement aux marqueurs de balle de golf conventionnels, un marqueur de balle conforme à l'invention est pourvu d'un aimant permanent mince et plat qui est rattaché ou intégré dans le corps du marqueur de balle. Lorsque le marqueur de balle est approché d'un article vestimentaire de golf modifié conformément à l'invention par l'introduction d'un objet ferreux dans ce dernier, le marqueur de balle sera attiré par l'objet ferreux et se fixera sur l'article vestimentaire de golf jusqu'à ce qu'il en soit retiré pour être utilisé. L'invention se prête particulièrement aux couvre-chefs tels que casquettes et visières. Les objets ferreux employés peuvent être configurés sous la forme de feuilles, disques, puces ou bandes de métal mince qui sont rattachés ou intégrés à la visière, le cas échéant à la visière de la casquette de golf. Le marqueur de balle à aimant de l'invention est ensuite simplement mis en contact ou placé à proximité de la zone de la casquette sur laquelle l'objet ferreux a été rattaché de manière permanente. Le marqueur de balle magnétique viendra alors se fixer sur l'article vestimentaire de golf jusqu'à ce qu'on l'en retire pour l'utiliser.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for communicating packet in-formation in a digital telecommunications system. Through the invention is selected a set of desig-nated communication resources (ch1-chn) from an available amount of resources. Every packet (P) is forward error correction encoded into an encoded packet (P ci), via one of at least two different cod-ing schemes (c i), prior to being transmitted to a receiving party, over the designated communica-tion resources (ch1-chn). An estimated transmis-sion time is calculated for all combinations of cod-ing scheme (c i) an relevant distribution (d j) of the encoded data blocks (B1-B.GAMMA.), in the encoded packet (P Ci) over the set of designated communication resources (ch1-chn), and the combination (c i, d j) is selected, which minimises the estimated transmis-sion time.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à l'activation de l'apoptose déclenchée par l'apoptine par différents agents ayant une action transformante à l'égard de la cellule et ce, s'agissant de cellules normales ou de cellules sujettes au cancer. L'apoptine, également appelée VP3 est une protéine virale dérivée du virus de l'anémie infectieuse du poulet. L'invention concerne également des traitements préventifs antitumoraux s'adressant à des cellules normales ou à des cellules sujettes au cancer. Le traitement de ces cellules au moyen d'agents déclenchant une tumeur a pour effet d'activer l'apoptose déclenchée par l'apoptine, ce qui entraîne l'élimination de cellules tumorales potentielles. L'invention porte, de surcroît, sur des agents diagnostiques du cancer. Il est possible, dans le cadre de cette invention, d'examiner des agents faisant montre d'une activité tumorale en les exprimant dans des cellules normales et en analysant leur capacité à stimuler l'apoptose déclenchée par l'apoptine.
