Title: Microorganism detection apparatus and method
Inventor: DAVIES ROBERT HAROLD
IPC: C12M1/18
Filed: 1995-05-19
Abstract: An apparatus for the rapid one-step detection of microorganisms e.g. Salmonella comprising a clear plastic main chamber (1) filled with a liquid nonselective growth medium (7) which communicates with a clear plastic side arm (5). The side arm (5) is plugged by a filtering layer of agar (8) and filled with semi-solid selective growth medium (9). An indicator disc (10) impregnated with antibody is set in the selective medium (9) such that a quantity of antibody diffuses away to form an antibody zone (11). A sample (12) is incubated in the nonselective medium (7) in order to resuscitate dormant microorganisms which multiply and pass into the minor chamber (5) and migrate through the agar (8) into the selective medium (9). The growth of the organism extends visibly around the disc (10) and into the zone (11) where the antibody inhibits growth so as to leave a relatively clear area which thereby confirms the presence of microorganisms in the sample (12).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a can body by bonding a printed film sheet having an overcoating layer on a surface of the trunk of the can body is disclosed. A continuous film of a synthetic resin having an overcoating layer formed on its one face and a printed layer covered by an adhesive layer formed on its other face is cut into a plurality of film sheets of a size appropriate for each can. The film sheets have a slightly larger width than the circumference of the can trunk. The printed film sheet is thermally adhered and bonded to the surface of the can body after it is heated by the adhesive layer such that the cut ends overlap. Then, the film-bonded can body is deformed to form a flange. A portion of each sheet has no overcoating layer in the estimated overlapping portion of the continuous film.

Title: Booster system
Inventor: EBINE YOSHIO
IPC: H04B7/155
Filed: 1996-10-28
Abstract: A booster system for transmitting a received wave after amplifying it comprises a receiving antenna section, a carrier combining section, a transmitting section, a transmitting antenna section and a parameter control section.      The carrier combining section multiplies a canceling signal by a cancel parameter to obtain a replica signal, then combines it with a received signal in at least one of the radio frequency band, the intermediate frequency band and the base band, and derives a combined base band signal from the combined signal. The transmitting section generates a send signal and a canceling signal by using a signal demodulated through the demodulation of the combined base band signal.    Based on the combined base band signal and the canceling signal, the parameter control section determines a canceling parameter such that the power of the combined base band signal is reduced, the parameter being provided to the carrier combining section.

Patent CA-2211987-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WAYNE RAMON
IPC: A47K3/12
Filed: 1997-09-29
Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable, wall-mounted, shower-enclosure, support apparatus, adapted to provide, when required, enhanced protection against injury, through loss of balance, to a bather, using the shower in a bathtub-shower combination unit or, alternatively, a separate shower stall.     A bather who loses balance, for any reason, while taking a shower, is liable to fall in any direction. Yet, wall-mounted grab-bars in a shower-enclosure, generally, provide protection against that risk in only one or two directions.       To overcome that deficiency, the invention provides for an apparatus which incorporates a body-encompassing frame member that can surround the bather at a chosen height, when required, and thereby supply, in all directions within a horizontal plane, a reliable means of support which can be seized in an emergency or which can break a fall under certain circumstances, when the support cannot be used as intended.
