Patent CA-2333438-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MRENNA STEPHEN ALBERT
IPC: H01H71/40
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A circuit interrupter including a housing, separable main contacts disposed in the housing, and an operating mechanism disposed in the housing and interconnected with the contacts. A trip mechanism is disposed in the housing and has an automatic trip assembly that selectively generates a tripping operation to cause the operating mechanism to open the contacts upon a predetermined current threshold. The automatic trip assembly includes a magnetic yoke, an armature, and an electrical terminal. The magnetic yoke has pivot supports on which are positioned pivot arms of a head portion of the armature. A clamp member applies a clamping force to the head portion of the armature in a direction to normally rotationally displace a bottom portion of the armature away from the yoke and the terminal.

Title: Use of aminosterol derivatives as chloride ionphores
Inventor: CHENG SENG H
IPC: A61K31/6615
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a chloride (Cl -) channel regulated by phosphorylation and intracellular nucleotides. CFTR is the major Cl- transport pathway in airway epithelial cells. The abnormal transepithelial Cl- transport and subsequent defective fluid transport cause d by CF is a result of the genetic mutations of the gene coding for the CFTR protein. The present invention is directed to the novel use of ionophores as  artificial Cl- transport pathways into CF epithelia to treat the defective C l- and fluid transport. Ionophores and in particular, small molecule ionophores , represent a potential novel means of treating CF. The invention also include s using an ionophore to generate chloride secretion on intact monolayers of airway epithelia cells and other epithelia cells by administering an ionopho re to a mammal.

Abstract: Provided are an image display apparatus and method capable of visually improving a sense of contrast by adjusting contrast and a light source to have correlation.      A characteristics detection part 11 detects MAX, MIN, and APL of an input signal. A control data generation part 12 calculates Gain for amplifying a difference between MAX and MIN to a width of a dynamic range and Offset indicating the DC level to be shifted so that the input video signal amplified by Gain falls with in the output dynamic range of a DC level adjustment part 13B. A signal amplitude adjustment part 13A amplifies the input video signal with reference to APL and in accordance with Gain. The DC level adjustment part 13B shifts the DC level of the amplified input video signal in accordance with a value of Offset. A light source control part 16 controls a light source 18 so that a visual brightness level on a screen is equal to a brightness level of the input video signal.

Abstract: Decoys, characters and symbols are largely applied on glass, glass ceramic and ceramic products in order to achieve desired aesthetic appearances. According to prior art, this is achieved either by directly applying the products using screen-printing techniques or by indirectly applying a decal which which previously provided with the decoys or characters and symbols by screen printing or by electrophotographic copying methods. This can also be achieved directly by electrophotographic copying methods whereby the electrophotographically produced toner image is transferred to the products by pressure/heat or by using an electrostatic field generated by first and second corona.      Instead of an endless loop which is used in prior art, the invention provides a dimensionally-stable transfer roll for the distortion-free electrostatic transfer of the electrostatic image pattern and a special arrangement of the corona for an improved electrostatic transfer.
