Patent CA-2437259-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CYR BENOIT
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 2002-03-04
Abstract: The present invention provides a plant derived extract comprising inhibitory activity against one or more extracellular proteases which degrade human tissue matrix. Moreover, the amount of inhibitory activity in an extract can be increased by stressing the plant prior to forming an extract. These extracts are each prepared by a standard process and demonstrate the ability to inhibit one or more extracellular proteases which degrade human tissue matrix. Libraries of extracts can be prepared from stressed and non-stressed plants, wherein each of the extracts demonstrate inhibitory activity against one or more extracellular protease inhibitors. Alternatively, semi-purified and purified inhibitory compounds can be isolated from the extracts following standard procedures. In one aspect, these extracts with inhibitory activity can be used during protein purification to minimize the degradation due to extracellular proteases.

Title: Parallel processing high speed printing system for an inserting system
Inventor: SUSSMEIER JOHN W
IPC: B42C19/08
Filed: 2003-08-20
Abstract: A system and a method to control the motion of envelopes within a postage printing system to accommodate the use of slower print techniques (digital or mechanical) in attempting to achieve high throughput in a mail processing system. The system utilizes parallel path printing using at least two postage printing devices. Using the parallel arrangement, documents may be slowed down for printing operations in the parallel paths, without risk of a subsequent document arriving before the printing operation is complete, and allowing for sufficient time to reset the postage metering devices.   Downstream of the postage printing modules, the printed documents are merged back into a single transport path, and are transported away for further processing.
Patent CA-2443299-A1 (CA)
Title: Harvesting machine
Inventor: HOFER JUERGEN
IPC: A01F29/14
Filed: 2003-09-29
Abstract: A forage harvester includes feed rolls operable to convey crop to a crop cutter drum. The forage harvester is provided with a control arranged to produce a controller output signal based upon a sensed number of rotations of the crop cutter drum or the feed rolls. The controller output signal operates such that a difference between an actual relation between the feed roll and cutter drum speeds and a nominal relation is at least reduced. The control is operable to produce the controller output signal independent from a detection of the speed of the feed rolls or the chopper drum. The speed of the feed rolls or chopper drum is hence controlled without feedback, but with an open loop. Thus, a sensor is saved and control oscillations are avoided.

Title: Extruded profile system for forming sliding fenestration products
Inventor: TURNER PETER H
IPC: E06B3/46
Filed: 2004-07-21
Abstract: A combination of profiles for forming slider and double hung sash windows or patio doors includes a common outer profile and two different inner profiles so that one inner profile can be used to form the double hung and the other to form the slider. This allows the slider top inner to be cut away to form a floating section resting on the top of the sash. This allows the drain holes to be formed separately in the inner and the outer to be longitudinally offset to prevent direct air penetration. The sash frame is formed with a removable glass stop on one side which snaps into engagement at right angles to the glass surface of the sealed unit to allow formation of a tri-pane with 0.5 inch spacing and to allow the use of two strips of adhesive one on each side of the sealed unit with no need for drainage.
