Patent CA-2460185-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for heat treating a shaped member
Inventor: HOGENKAMP WOLFGANG
IPC: B29C59/10
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: A brake lining comprises a lining support plate (1), an underlayer material (2) and a friction lining (3). The brake lining is clamped between a pressur e plate (4) and a holding fixture (5), which forms a hole matrix and inside of which electrodes (6) are accommodated. A power supply (not shown) is connect ed to the electrodes (6). The adjacent electrodes (6) have different polarities as indicated by "+" or "-". A current flow, indicated by arrows (7), is produced between adjacent electrodes as a result of the different polarities . The field lines extend in the shape of an arch. An arrangement of this type permits the friction lining (3) to be scorched. For hardening, a potential gradient can also be applied between the electrodes (6) and the support plat e (1). The current then flows in the direction of the arrows (8) and the entir e friction lining (3) is permeated. This results in a homogenous heating of th e friction lining. The invention enables an efficient hardening of the frictio n lining (3). It is also possible to conduct a hardening and scorching simultaneously. The invention also enables the friction lining to be pressed during the heat treatment.

Abstract: A multi-analyzer system where at least two automatic clinical analyzers (10, 11) are linked together by a bi-directional sample rack shuttle (68), both analyzers initially capable of performing a slightly different menu of assays.  The bi-directional incoming and outgoing sample rack transport system (73) of a first one of the two analyzers is automatically converted into a one-way incoming sample rack transport system and the incoming sample tube transport system (76) of a second of the two analyzers is automatically converted into a one-way outgoing transport system adapted to dispose of all sample racks having sample tubes with sample finally tested by either analyzer. In the event that one of the two analyzers experiences an operating failure, the analyzer system may automatically revert to a single analyzer system employing only the operational analyzer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing the integrity of an implantable sensor. Voids formed between an outer tubing and a sensor substrate or spacing eleme nt may be back-filled with a curable, implantable material, minimizing the exte nt to which unwanted fluids diffuse within the sensor. An enzyme or protein matrix pellet below the sensor window may be pre-treated with a reducing age nt to enhance its bond stability, and to reduce undesired swelling that may cau se the sensor window to detach or leak. The bonding between the enzyme pellet a nd a hydrogel layer may be reinforced by application of an intervening bonding layer of a protein material, such as human serum albumin (HSA). The size of the window may be minimized by minimizing the size of an underlying electrod e, providing reduced flux and lengthening sensor. A coating may be deposited on the surface of the sensor leads, providing stiffening and lubrication.</SDOA B>

Title: Biological growth plate scanner with automated image processing profile selection
Inventor: DUBNER ANDREW D
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: A biological scanner (10) provides automated selection of image processing profiles (36) to scan different types of biological growth plates. The scanner automatically identifies the type of plate to be scanned by the scanner, and then selects one of the image processing profiles appropriate for the identified plate type. For example, the image processing profiles may apply different color, shape, size and proximity criteria in counting different types of bacterial colonies. The scanner may identify the plate type by reference to a variety of machine-readable indicators (28), such as optically or magnetically readable marks, carried on the plate. Accordingly, biological growth plates carrying particular indicators that permit plate type identification are also contemplated. The plates may be scanned in order to read or count different types of bacterial colonies, or the amount of a particular biological agent on the biological growth plate.

Abstract: The machine tool is provided for working ring-shaped workpieces (1), in particular one-piece turbine wheels, so-called "bladed rings". It has a rotatable chucking device (2) for a workpiece (1). Said chucking device is mounted on a carrying part (4), which in turn is supported by a supporting component (5). In order to keep the dimension (14) of the length by which the carrying part (4) projects beyond the workpiece (1) on the side facing the supporting component (5), as low as possible, the carrying part (4) protrudes into the chucking device (2) to such an extent that it projects at least through the boundary surface (7) of the workpiece (1) facing the supporting component (5). A saving of space is achieved in this way and, therefore, enhanced accessibility is obtained for the tool to the side of the workpiece (1) facing the supporting component (5).
