Abstract: A mechanism for supporting an auxiliary surface for vertical movement relative to a primary surface includes a pair of link elements having opposites ends pivotally connected to auxiliary and primary surface mounting elements or brackets, a first bias for opposing downwardly directed swinging movement of the link elements relative to the primary surface mounting element, a second bias for opposing pivotal downwardly directed movement of the auxiliary surface mounting element relative to the link elements, and a locking mechanism for releasably constraining swinging movement of the link elements and pivotal movement of the auxiliary surface mounting element. The locking mechanism features a roller and an operator arranged to engage with the roller when moved into a locking position to effect clamping together of the link elements and the auxiliary surface supporting element.

Title: Image forming apparatus, and recycle processing apparatus for recycling image forming unit
Inventor: YAMAMOTO SHUUHEI
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 1998-10-27
Granted: 2002-08-20
Abstract: An excellent image forming state is secured constantly regardless of the history of an image forming unit installed.      When a new drum cartridge is installed in a copying machine during a standby pending operation of a copy switch on a control panel, CPU reads the number of rotations of a photoreceptor drum from a memory of the drum cartridge, and updates a count of a counter C with the number of rotations read. When the copy switch is operated, CPU derives a grid voltage corresponding to the count of counter C from a relationship between the number of rotations of photoreceptor drum and the grid voltage of the electrostatic charger pre-stored in ROM, executes an image forming process by setting the grid voltage derived from a high-voltage source, and adds the number of rotations of photoreceptor drum made in the current image forming process to the count of counter C.

Title: Polydextrose en tant qu'agent anti-rassissement
Inventor: KILIBWA MARGARET
IPC: A21D15/00
Filed: 1998-02-05
Granted: 2006-04-11
Abstract: Procédé servant à retarder le rassissement du pain et d'autres produits de boulangerie et à prolonger leur durée de conservation. Ce procédé met en application polydextrose, polymère de condensation à liaisons aléatoires de D-glucose auquel est fixé sorbitol et un acide approprié (par exemple, acide citrique), en tant qu'ingrédient de produits de boulangerie. L'utilisation de polydextrose en combinaison avec de la farine, seule ou combinée à certains émulsifiants et enzymes selon l'invention, permet d'obtenir des propriétés améliorées anti-rassissement, ainsi qu'une amélioration de la structure des miettes du pain et d'autres produits de boulangerie. Ces propriétés améliorées n'exercent généralement aucun effet contraire sur les caractéristiques organoleptiques des produits de boulangerie. L'invention concerne également une pâte présentant d'excellentes caractéristiques de traitement et le produit fini est égal ou supérieur en qualité par rapport au pain témoin cuit sans polydextrose. De plus, les dosages enzymatiques utilisés permettent d'éliminer ou de limiter au minimum l'aspect collant normalement associé à l'utilisation de compositions enzymatiques anti-rassissement.

Granted: 2001-12-11
Abstract: A system for rerouting misrouted calls between call centers has multiple call centers all connected by digital link to a central rerouter, which maintains a data list of a unique pool of destination numbers assigned to each of the call centers. The central rerouter sends rerouted calls to destination numbers in the destination number pool for each call center in a sequential manner such that any destination number in the pool for any call center, once used, is not used again until all of the remaining destination numbers in the pool for that call center are used once each. In a preferred embodiment call centers are interconnected by private lines, and rerouted calls are sent over the private lines.

Title: Diagnostic assays using soluble endothelial cell protein c/activated protein c receptor
Inventor: KUROSAWA SHINICHIRO
IPC: C07K14/74
Filed: 1998-06-26
Granted: 2005-08-30
Abstract: Plasma EPCR has been isolated, characterized and shown to block cellular protein C activation and APC anticoagulant activity. Plasma EPCR appears to be about 43,000 daltons and circulates at approximate ly 100 ng/ml (98.4 ~ 27.8 ng/ml, n = 22). Plasma EPCR bound activated protein C with an affinity similar to that of recombinant soluble EPCR (Kd app approximately 30 nM), and inhibits both protein C activation on an endothelial cell line and APC anticoagulant activity in a one-stage factor Xa clotting assay. Soluble plasma EPCR appears to attenuate the membrane-bound EPCR augmentation of protein C activation and the anticoagulant function of activated protein C. Soluble EPCR has also been detected in urine. Levels of soluble EPCR can rise in inflammatory disease associated with vascular injury and appear to be correlated with inflammation and disease states associated with abnormal coagulation.

Patent CA-2315028-C (CA)
Title: Spill-resistant container
Inventor: HO I-CHUNG
IPC: A01G29/00
Filed: 2000-08-03
Granted: 2007-10-23
Abstract: A spill-resistant container for storing and dispensing a liquid, the container having a curved neck which prevents the liquid from spilling when being poured out of the opening of the container. For example, the spill-resistant container may have a curved neck in the form of a number " 7 ", a letter " Z " or a letter " S ". When the spill-resistant container that is full of liquid is tilted such that the liquid level inside the container is higher than the liquid level at the opening of the container, no liquid flows out of the container. The liquid will start to flow out of the container only after the container is tilted beyond a predetermined start-to-pour angle. The start-to-pour angle is reached when the container is tilted enough so that the outside air starts to enter the container and the liquid inside the container starts to flow out of the container. This design makes pouring a liquid from a full container much less likely to spill. The curved passageway creates additional flow restriction in comparison with the ordinary containers without such design. This added flow restriction results in longer filling time and more "glugging" while pouring. A separate vent passageway of this disclosure is an improvement to overcome glugging due to the additional flow restriction in the curved passageway. This vent passageway provides a separate route for the release of inside air during filling process and allows ambient air to enter the container during pouring. Therefore, it improves the filling time and eliminates or greatly reduces the "glugging" of pouring. A special designed liquid level indicator is also provided to indicate liquid level within a small viewing area of the liquid container. The container finds particular application as a separate water container to be connected to planter inserts for self-watering planters.
