Patent CA-2350323-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FARRELL JERALD F
IPC: B64G1/10
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: A practicable universal replacement C band/Ku band communications satellite designed for orbiting the Earth in a storage orbit and a method for its use as a replacement for a failed satellite are disclosed. The universal replacement satellite can be controlled by an external control system (e.g., a ground station) and is reconfigurable by remote command (e.g., from a ground station). The satellite is designed to make several fast moves during its design life from its storage slot to the geostationary slot to which is needs to move when it is to act as a replacement for a failed satellite. The ability to make fast moves helps minimize down time. After its then-current mission of sparing a particular filed satellite has been completed, the communications payload can be turned off and the satellite can be moved back to its storage slot to await its next replacement mission. Various design features allow it to be able to satisfactorily mimic (that is, emulate) the communications capabilities of a very high percentage of the existing geostationary C band and Ku band satellites while still being economically and otherwise practicable. The satellite can also contain means for handling BSS signals so that the satellite can act as a replacement for both FSS and BSS failed satellites.

Title: 4-cycle engine
Inventor: MIYAZAKI ATSUSHI
IPC: F01M1/12
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: A 4-cycle engine includes an oil tank mounted to one side of an engine body, and an oil slinger accommodated in the oil tank and adapted to scatter an oil stored in said oil tank to generate a lubricating oil mist. In the 4-cycle engine, a timing transmitting case is interposed between the engine body and the oil tank, so that heat transmission from the engine body to the oil tank is shielded. Thus, the oil tank can be disposed at a location spaced apart from the engine body without bringing about an increase in size of the engine, thereby suppressing the heat transmission from the engine body to the oil tank to the utmost to prevent overheating of the oil in the oil tank.

Title: Soupape a relachement de pression
Inventor: DENBY JAMES EDWARD
IPC: F16K31/08
Filed: 2000-01-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne une soupape à relâchement de pression (1) particulièrement apte à être utilisée sur des camions-citernes susceptibles de se renverser lors d'un accident. Les soupapes utilisées sur de tels dispositifs doivent être obturées dans l'éventualité d'un renversement, afin d'empêcher toute fuite d'un fluide volatil et inflammable depuis l'intérieur du camion-citerne, et de permettre une ventilation du gaz situé au-dessus de ce fluide, à l'intérieur de ce camion-citerne, dans des conditions de fonctionnement normales. La soupape de cette invention comporte un piston mobile (24) et un siège fixe (32), capables de se déplacer de manière axiale l'un vers l'autre ou à l'écart l'un de l'autre afin d'ouvrir et de fermer la soupape. L'un de ce siège de soupape et de ce piston est pourvu de bouchons magnétiques (23), l'autre étant ferromagnétique, de sorte que l'attraction magnétique entre ces composants amène ladite soupape à se placer en position fermée. De plus, une fois que la pression différentielle sur la soupape atteint un niveau prédéterminé et variable (si le déplacement des aimants varie dans ledit composant, modifiant ainsi l'attraction magnétique), le piston est alors séparé du siège de soupape et la soupape s'ouvre pour relâcher la pression. Enfin, la soupape de cette invention est éventuellement munie d'un organe de relâchement de pression manuel (27) pouvant être actionné même dans le cas d'un renversement, de sorte que l'évacuation du fluide depuis l'intérieur du camion-citerne peut s'effectuer en toute sécurité.

IPC: G16B30/00
Filed: 2000-01-28
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de méthode de calcul et un programme d'ordinateur permettant d'interpréter des liens fonctionnels à partir de séquences génomiques. Une méthode est basée sur l'observation que certaines paires de protéines A' et B' présentent des homologues dans un autre organisme fusionnés en une chaîne protéique unique AB. Une comparaison transgénomique des séquences peut révéler ces séquences AB, qui sont des séquences Rosetta Stone car elles décodent une interaction entre A' and B. Une autre méthode permet de comparer la séquence génomique de deux ou de plusieurs organismes afin de créer un profil phylogénétique pour chaque protéine qui indique sa présence ou son absence dans tous les génomes. Le profil permet d'obtenir une information concernant des liens fonctionnels entre différentes familles de protéines. Dans une autre méthode, une combinaison des deux méthodes ci-dessus permet de prédire des liens fonctionnels.

Patent CA-2369787-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARSHINGER DONALD E
IPC: B05D5/06
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: Surface covering components that include a topcoat layer with different gloss levels in various regions on the top coat layer, and methods of manufacturing such surface covering components, are disclosed. The surface covering components include a coating layer that includes regions that have a relatively higher gloss, and regions with a relatively lower gloss. The differential gloss is provided by coating a substrate with a UV-curable coating composition, subjecting a first region of the surface coating to polymerization under a first set of conditions, and subjecting a second region of the surface coating to polymerization under a second set of conditions. The UV-curable coating compositions include UV-curable components and one or more flatting agents. The different polymerization conditions involve applying various photoinitiators, thermal initiators and/or cure altering agents to some regions of the coated substrate, and not applying these components to other regions of the substrate. The components are applied in the form of a pattern. Regions in contact with these components are cured at different rates in one step or in different steps, for example, sequential UV  and EB irradiation or UV irradiation at different wavelengths and/or exposure times. The resulting surface coverings and surface covering substrates have differential gloss in register with the printed and/or sprayed patterns.

Title: Protein-protein interactions and methods for identifying interacting proteins and the amino acid sequence at the site of interaction
Inventor: GEORGES ELIAS
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: The invention relates to protein-protein interactions and methods for identifying interacting proteins and the amino acid sequence at the site of interaction. Using overlapping hexapeptides that encode for the entire amino  acid sequences of the linker domains of human P-glycoprotein gene 1 and 3 (H P- gp1 and HP-gp3), a direct and specific binding between P-gp1 and 3 linker domains and intracellular proteins was demonstrated. Three different stretch es (617EKGIYFKLVTM627, 658SRSSLIRKRSTRRSVRGSQA677 and 694PVSFWRIMKLNLT706 for P - gp1 and 618LMKKEGVYFKLVNM631, 648KAATRMAPNGWKSRLFRHSTQKNLKNS674 and 695PVSFLKVLKLNKT677 for P-gp3) in linker domains bound to proteins with apparent molecular masses of .sim.80 kDa, 57 kDa and 30 kDa. The binding of the 57 kDa protein was further characterized. Purification and partial N- terminal amino acid sequencing of the 57 kDa protein showed that it encodes the N-terminal amino acids of alpha and beta-tubulins. The method of the present invention was further validated with Annexin. The present invention thus demonstrates a novel concept whereby the interactions between two proteins are mediated by strings of few amino acids with high and repulsive binding energies, enabling the identification of high-affinity binding sites  between any interacting proteins.
