Patent CA-2525851-A1 (CA)
Title: N,n-dialkylpolyhydroxyalklamines
Inventor: MEIER INGRID KRISTINE
IPC: C07H/
Filed: 2005-11-04
Abstract: N,N-Dialkylpolyhydroxyalkylamines may be made by the reductive alkylation of an N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamine with an aldehyde or ketone, or with an equivalent compound, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst and hydrogen. The reaction is performed in a reaction solvent that contains at least 30 wt% of an organic solvent. The use of a sufficiently high proportion of an appropriate organic solvent in the reaction mixture reduces the amount of water present in the reaction mixture, and provides rapid reaction rates and high yields of the desired product. The N,N-dialkylpolyhydroxyalkylamines may be used in a wide variety of applications.

Title: Domed compressed tampons
Inventor: KASAHARA MASAKI
IPC: A61F13/22
Filed: 1998-03-25
Abstract: An improved apparatus and method compresses a cylindrical blank (24) into a tampon which is dimensionally stable and which is provided with a domed insertion end. A cylindrical blank (24) is radially compressed and then introduced into a cylindrical axial compression chamber (50). The blank (24) is then subjected to an extreme axial overcompression. The closed insertion end of the compression chamber has a bore formed therethrough. The bore is generally coaxial and is adapted to accept a reciprocating ejection ram (58) having a ram surface facing into the chamber. When the ram (58) is seated in the first position, the ram surface and the insertion end wall of the compression chamber together form a smooth doming surface.      The bore periphery is of a smaller diameter than the chamber and hence radially spaced from the side walls of the chamber, and the ram has sufficient clearance to move through the chamber and eject the tampon without interference from the walls of the chamber.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for collecting data for detecting and locating disturbances. A plurality of distinct regions of the space are identified, and, preferably, a hand-held device adapted for sensing positions of the device and respective representations of a field parameter at the positions is used. The positions are quantized within the regions and the corresponding representations within a region are combined. Separate scans are used to obtain baseline and detection scan results corresponding to the regions. The baseline and detection scan results are compared within a region, and the results of the comparison axe used to produce scan results from which can be discerned whether a disturbance has occurred within the region. A triangulation is performed for determining the location of the disturbance, preferably using combinations of indeterminate sets of the scan results.
