Title: Method and apparatus for cleaning the sample delivery stylus of microprocessor controlled spiral platers
Inventor: SCHER FRANCES M
IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning the sample delivery stylus tubing of spiral platers to prevent the carry over of disinfectants or microbes to succeeding samples by maintaining working levels of liquids (20) in the containers (17) to within prescribed limits so as to assure the cleaning of the stylus (11) relative to a defined depth of immersion in the preceding cleaning or sample intake station. Containers are marked to identify the minimum required and maximum allowable levels (18 and 19), providing the basis for the timing and amount of liquid to be replenished. To minimize the frequency of replenishments, a digital (microprocessor implemented) control is used to avoid the use of excess liquids, beyond that needed to assure effective cleaning.

Patent CA-2216519-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATTHIES LOTHAR
IPC: A22C11/08
Filed: 1996-03-29
Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed for producing portioned raw sausage, boiling sausage or the like, with a pre-determinable coarseness. It is proposed that, during the course of the process, sausage material of a coarser texture than that of the raw sausage should be introduced into a vacuum filling machine, compacted there in the usual way and discharged, and then immediately fed into the cutting set of a passing machine, then minced to the desired final texture and divided up into portions. The drive of the cutting set is interrupted during pauses in the portioning process like the conveyer pump of the sausage filling machine. When a vacuum filling machine and a passing machine (30) are used, a shaft driving the conveyer pump (12) of the sausage filling machine is extended in the direction of the pump outlet and connected to the cutting set of the passing machine which is flange-mounted on the sausage filling machine in such a way that its inlet immediately follows the pump outlet (18) and the filler pipe (20) of the sausage filling machine is connected to the outlet of the passing machine.

Patent CA-2217804-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for silently alerting inbound-only telemetry interface units
Inventor: SMITH DAVID B
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1997-10-09
Abstract: The system of the invention consists of a central office service unit (COSU) connected to a plurality of switching systems via dedicated telemetry trunks or a common channel signaling network such as the CCS7 network. The switching systems are connected to a plurality of inbound-only TIUs located on the customer premise that are in turn connected to customer devices such as utility meters, appliances, security systems or the like. The TIUs are inbound-only that can originate calls but cannot answer calls initiated by the controlling entity. A controlling entity, such as a utility, is connected to one of the switching systems over a customer line such that the controlling entity can be connected to any TIU hosted by the switching systems. The controlling entity requests that an alerting tone be sent by the COSU to a desired TIU. The COSU, as is known in the art delivers an alert tone through a suppressed ringing connection to the TIU that does not audibly ring the customer's telephone. The TIU does not "answer" this tone by going off hook such that no connection is established and the telemetry call is taken down. While the TIU does not answer the alert tone, the tone alerts the TIU to perform one or more functions such as retrieve data from a utility meter, check the status of an appliance or the like. As an alternative to the alert tone, a digital signal can be transmitted to alert the TIU. After performing the desired function, the TIU is programmed to call the controlling entity and a connection is established between the TIU and the controlling entity. The TIU can then transmit the results of thefunction to the controlling entity and the controlling entity can download further instructions, programs or the like to the TIU.

Title: Immunoassay for the detection and quantitation of toxins causing paralytic shellfish poisoning
Inventor: DE IOANNES ALFREDO
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 1998-01-23
Abstract: This invention relates to the development of an immunoassay for the detection and quantification of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins. The accumulation of paralytic toxins in mollusks is a seasonal phenomena that occurs with great variability. Since the ingestion of these toxins may cause death, a detection system to prevent the consumption of contaminated mollusks is desirable. At present, only one paralytic toxin, saxotoxin (STX) can be detected with available immunoassays. However, STX is not the principal toxin present in mollusks, and thus its detection and quantification does not account for the total toxicity of contaminated shellfish. With this invention we describe for first time, an immunoassay able to detect all paralytic toxins; these include saxitoxin (STX), neosaxitoxin (NEO), gonyautoxins (GTXs), Cs and other derivatives. Using this immunoassay, total toxicity of all PSP-contaminated mollusks can be determined Additionally, the presence of toxins in dinoflagellates, protozoan, crustacean, shellfish, algae, bacteria, fish, or any other species or sample containing paralytic toxins, can be detected. In this application various immunoassays, methods for antibody production and uses of these immunoassays are described.
Patent CA-2225553-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MELIEF CORNELIS J M
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 1996-08-05
Abstract: The invention provides a novel vehicle for vaccination, in particular peptide vaccination. The new vehicle has been termed an exosome. Exosomes are vesicles derived from MHC class II enriched compartments in antigen presenting cells. The exosomes possess MHC II and/or MHC I molecules at their surface and possibly peptides derived from processed antigens in said MHC's. Thus the exosome is a perfect vaccination vehicle in that it presents the peptide in a natural setting. The peptides present in the exosome in the MHC molecule may be processed by the antigen presenting cell from which the exosome is derived. Empty MHC molecules on exosomes may also be loaded with peptides afterwards.

Title: Paging technique for personal communications systems and apparatus for implementing the same
Inventor: ELMASSIAN GREG
IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 1998-01-05
Abstract: In  a  distributed  communication  system  such  as  a personal handyphone system, when a new call must be connected through a cell station, the PNC unit associated with the cell station checks to see if the cell station is fully loaded.  If so,  portable  telephones  currently  having  calls  connected through that  cell  station  are checked  to  see  if  they  can reconnect  to  a  different  cell  station.    If  so,  they  are directed to reconnect, thereby freeing a space on the target cell station so that the new call can be connected.   This technique is useful for incoming calls from a wireline network, outgoing calls from a portable telephone,  and handoffs of a roaming portable telephone.
