Abstract: A medical liquid applicator system that includes an applicator grip assembly, a flexible reservoir and an applicator head. The applicator grip assembly is composed of a first section with a first distal end and a second section with a second distal end, a longitudinal axis, a front side, a back side, a predetermined grip length, a predetermined grip width, a fold axis separating the first section and the second section, the fold axis being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a fold-activated dispensing slit located on the fold axis. The flexible reservoir is joined to a back side of the applicator grip assembly and is in liquid communication with the fold-activated dispensing slit. The applicator head is joined to the front side of the applicator grip assembly at the fold axis and is in liquid communication with the dispensing slit. The applicator grip assembly is folded at the fold axis to bring the back side of at least a portion of the first distal end of the first section and the back side of at least a portion of the second distal end of the second section together to define a grip handle having the predetermined grip length and the predetermined grip width. Folding the applicator grip assembly ruptures the fold- activated dispensing slit thereby defining a dispensing opening and also applies pressure to the flexible reservoir element in liquid communication with the dispensing slit to urge flowable medical liquid through the dispensing opening and into the applicator head.

Abstract: Lower eukaryotic cells such as Pichia pastoris that normally cannot use galactose as a carbon source but which have been genetically engineered according to the methods herein to use galactose as a sole source of carbon are described. The cells are genetically engineered to express several of the enzymes comprising the Leloir pathway. In particular, the cells are genetically engineered to express a galactokinase, a UDP-galactose-C4-epimerase, and a galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, and optionally a galactose permease. In addition, a method is provided for improving the yield of glycoproteins that have galactose-terminated or -containing N-glycans in cells that have been genetically engineered to produce glycoproteins with N-glycans having galactose residues but which normally lack the enzymes comprising the Leloir pathway comprising transforming the cells with one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding a galactokinase, a UDP-galactose-C4-epimerase, and a galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase. The methods and host cells described enable the presence or lack of the ability to assimilate galactose as a selection method for making recombinant cells. The methods and host cells are shown herein to be particularly useful for making immunoglobulins and the like that have galactose-terminated or containing N-glycans.

Abstract: A write-once recording medium preserving a data recording status of the write-once recording medium, a method of preserving the data recording status of a write-once recording medium, a medium including computer readable code for the same, and a recording and/or reproducing apparatus therefor. In the method of preserving the data recording status of a write-once recording medium, first, data is recorded on the write-once recording medium. Next, recording-status data, representing occupied areas, is produced and recorded in a temporary defect management area allocated in the write-once recording medium. Thereafter, a finalization command is received to preserve the data-recording status of the recording medium. Then, in response to the finalization command, predetermined data is recorded in a temporary defect management area to prevent further data recording on the write-once recording medium. Accordingly, the data recording status of the finalized write-once recording medium can be preserved.

Abstract: A trucking apparatus possesses functions of gantry and tower cranes. However, unlike a gantry crane, Mountain-Moving Crane has a "Rotatable Arm" acts as the "jib" of the crane. Also, unlike a tower crane, Mountain-Moving Crane has a "Bridge" which allows the crane to carry maximum weight over the entire span of the "Bridge." A Mountain-Moving Crane is preferred over a haul truck because a Mountain-Moving Crane uses much less energy than a haul truck. Unique design also allows the apparatus to be able to capture potential energy of mountainous materials in a mountain-moving project. Please note that the trucking apparatus - Mountain-Moving Crane -is designed for mining projects which require the removal of part of or an entire mountain.
Patent CA-2772141-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOEFFLER MICHAEL
IPC: F28D20/00
Filed: 2010-08-11
Abstract: Heat pumps and refrigerating machines operate optimally if the temperature difference (the spread) of the connected heat sources and heat sinks is as small as possible. If this is not the case, two negative effects are the result: 1. At a high spread, increased dissipation occurs in the condensers and evaporators. 2. In order to generate an increased spread, the heat return flow is frequently mixed with the heat pump flow. For this purpose, hydraulic separators and overflow valves are employed. This results in highly dissipative mixing of heat carrier medium with differing temperatures. Using a pair of intermediate storage means according to the invention (also e.g. Fig. 3), the dissipation that occurs can be drastically reduced. The low spread of the heat pump is adjusted to the high spread of the remaining system. The COP of the system is substantially improved by intermediate storage means. With heat pumps, the improvement ranges from about 5% to 20%, depending on the system.

Abstract: A trigger pump sprayer in combination with a liquid dispensed from the sprayer. The trigger sprayer provides for efficacious particle size distributions of the liquids, when sprayed under non-ideal conditions. Non-ideal conditions include only partial strokes of the trigger, rather than full strokes and relatively slow trigger strokes. A bimodal distribution of particle sizes is obtained under two different operating conditions. The sprayer/liquid combination according to the present invention compresses the difference between the two modes, without requiring undue work by the operator. The advantageous particle size distribution difference is accomplished by using a precompression piston which reciprocates in response to trigger strokes, and selecting a liquid having appropriate properties to correspond to the trigger pump operating characteristics

Abstract: The invention relates to a base plate, which is designed to be laid, as part of a system for fastening a rail (S), on a support section (4) on which the rail (S) is supported in the finally installed state, to a system for fastening a rail (S) to a solid foundation, and to a method for renovating a rail-fastening point (1). The element according to the invention, the system, and the method allow a fastening point for a rail to be easily and economically renovated in such a way that a permanently reliable function of the renovated fastening is then ensured again while the worn support section remains. This is achieved in that the base plate (11) has at least two longitudinal edge sections (13, 14), which are arranged at a distance from each other and which are bevelled in the direction of the lower face (15) of the base plate associated with the support section (4) or in the direction of the upper face of the base plate (11) associated with the rail foot (SF), and of which one longitudinal edge section (13, 14) is associated with one of the longitudinal sides of the crosstie (2) so that one of the longitudinal edge sections (13, 14) extends along a longitudinal side of the crosstie (2) when the base plate (11) is finally installed on the crosstie (2).
