Patent CA-2605215-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RISI BENOIT
IPC: B27K5/02
Filed: 2007-10-02
Abstract: In a wood processing plant, planks are typically split into strips and then passed through an automated cross-cutting saw station to remove defects such as knots, cracks or flash. One defect which also occurs is the hit and miss defect caused by a planer and/or a sander. In order to improve the performance of the cross-cutting saw station, color is applied to the wood prior to being planed and sanded.  The cross-cutting saw station is then modified to optically inspect the wood for the presence of color, indicating a hit and miss defect, and to remove the portions of the wood containing color.

Title: Gold surfaces coated with a thermostable, chemically resistant polypeptide layer and applications thereof
Inventor: WOODBURY RICHARD
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 2006-06-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing biomolecular coatings on devices having gold surfaces. The method describes the production of recombinant fusion proteins consisting of one or more polypeptide domains of interest and a high affinity gold binding peptide consisting of 1 to 7 repeats of a gold binding protein (GBP) sequence. By this method, many biologically active polypeptides lacking intrinsic gold-binding properties can be firmly attached to gold surfaces. By exploiting such gold binding properties, devices are disclosed which comprise such coatings that are useful as prosthetic devices, implants, and tissue interfacing materials. Further, such devices comprising these coatings protect surfaces from fouling and impart various properties to the coated devices.
