Patent CA-2421598-A1 (CA)
Title: Device for measuring exchanges of amounts of heat in non-stationary operating conditions
Inventor: PADOY JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: G01K17/06
Filed: 2001-09-05
Abstract: The invention concerns a device (10) for measuring exchanges of amounts of heat in non-stationary operational conditions comprising an elongated housing (11) having one measuring end (12) closed and one connecting end (13) and a central cavity (14). The central cavity (14) contains a measuring cell (15) and electrical connection members (15). The housing (11) is extended by a hollow finger (17) which contains partly at least the measuring cell (15) which consists of a sensitive heat flux measuring element (18) sandwiched between a first heat conducting component (19) and a second heat conducting component (20). The contact surfaces of the heat conducting component (19, 20) are each coated with a gold film, so as to produce an intimate heat conducting bond with the sensitive heat flux measuring element (18).
Patent CA-2422434-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEINGARTNER PETER
IPC: A47B23/04
Filed: 2001-09-10
Abstract: Ce pupitre est conçu pour des livres, catalogues, tableaux etc., d'un poids à concurrence de 4,5 kg. Il comprend un support droite et gauche (1), une bride (15), un axe (3) muni de vis moletées (9) et une base (11). Tous les éléments sont en aluminium hautement allié et chromé, d'une dureté comparable à celle de l'acier. Le livre (catalogue ou tableau) est posé au milieu, de manière à prendre appui sur le support droite et gauche. La position inclinée du livre peut être réglée de façon continue en desserrant les vis moletées (aux deux extrémités de l'axe), de manière à avoir un déplacement vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière de l'axe, par rapport à la base. Sur la partie inférieure de l'axe sont prévues, sous les paliers lisses droite et gauche, des tiges filetées destinées au réglage de la résistance au glissement lors du déplacement de l'axe. La bride sert au maintien inférieur des pages. Lorsqu'on la déplace parallèlement à la surface support inférieure, la bride peut être ajustée en fonction de l'épaisseur du livre. En abaissant la bride, il est possible de tourner rapidement les pages. Un ressort de rappel permet à la bride de reprendre sa position initiale, évitant ainsi tout nouveau réglage en fonction de l'épaisseur du livre. Le pupitre selon l'invention permet de disposer de conditions de travail ergonomiques, tout en assurant un maintien détendu du corps.

Patent CA-2427601-A1 (CA)
Title: Bio-absorbable plastic device for clinical practice
Inventor: MIYAZAKI MASAMITU
IPC: A61L31/06
Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: Bio-absorbable polymers for use as medical materials for vascular stent and suture thread have almost defined dynamic properties such as tensile strength and almost defined decomposition rate for absorption. When the dynamic properties thereof are elevated, therefore, the bio-absorbable polymers turn fragile, involving slower decomposition rate. When the decomposition rate is elevated, further, the dynamic properties are deteriorated. Disadvantageously, such bio-absorbable polymers have limited purposes for use and limited sites for use.      Thus, copolymerization of a bio-absorbable monomer as lactide with a cyclic depsipeptide can allow the adjustment of the dynamic properties and decomposition rate of the resulting copolymer via the content of the depsipeptide.

Title: Ultra violet (uv) light sterilizer for bottled water coolers
Inventor: YUI GEORGE
IPC: A61L2/10
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: At least one UV sterilizing light source, such as a UV light bulb is positioned within a water reservoir of a water cooler for providing sterilization of water with the water cooler. Preferably the water cooler is adapted to accept water delivered from top loaded inverted water bottles. In a first configuration, the water cooler has an external evaporator that is wound around the outside diameter of the cold water tank.  In a second configuration, the water cooler has an internal evaporator that is placed inside of the cold water tank. In the tank with an external evaporator, the UV light bulb and glass cover may be made longer than the UV light bulb used with the tank having an internal evaporator. In order to increase the length of the engagement between the bulb and the water in the cooler, preferably the level of the water is raised to a higher level than it is normally used in typical cold water tanks.

Title: Von willebrand factor (vwf)-cleaving protease
Inventor: HAMAMOTO TAKAYOSHI
IPC: A61K38/36
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: This invention is intended to isolate and identify a vWF-specific cleaving protease.   The vWF-specific cleaving protease cleaves a bond between residues Tyr 842 and Met 843 of vWF and comprises a polypeptide chain having Leu-Leu-Val-Ala-Val as a partial sequence, and more preferably comprises a polypeptide chain having the partial N-terminal amino acid sequence of a mature protein, Ala-Ala-Gly-Gly-Ile-Leu-His-Leu-Glu-Leu-Leu-Val-Ala-Val, and having a molecular weight of 105 to 160 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing or non-reducing conditions.  Isolation and identification of this vWF-specific cleaving protease have led to the possibility of replacement therapy for patients having diseases resulting from a deficiency of the protease, such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
