Patent CA-2112992-C (CA)
Inventor: LIHME ALLAN O F
IPC: G01N33/543

Granted: 2002-06-11
Abstract: Water-soluble reagents and conjugates which are particularly well suited for use, for example, in biologically relevant de-tection, quantification and targetting procedures, e.g. in the fields of immunohistochemistry, detection of immunoreactive species, antibody immobilisation, separation or purification; DNA hybridization tests and flow cytometry, are based on a polymeric carri-er molecule having moderate to high molecular weight and to which are covalently attached one or more moieties derived from divinyl sulfone, each of which moieties is attached to the carrier molecule via a covalent linkage formed between one of the two vinyl groups of a divinyl sulfone molecule and a reactive functionality an the polymeric carrier molecule. In reagents of the inven-tion, at least one such attached moiety in its attached state has the remaining vinyl group free and capable of reaction with a mo-lecular species having a functional group, e.g. a hydroxy group or a thiol group, which is reactive towards the free vinyl group. Such a reaction results in the covalent attachment (conjugation) of the molecular species to the polymeric carrier molecule via a linking group derived from divinyl sulfone, the resulting conjugate being an example of a conjugate of the invention. Preferred water-soluble carrier molecules are polysaccharides, particularly dextrans.  The molecular species, of which more than one type may be attached to a carrier molecule, may, for example, be selected from antigens, antibodies, haptens, gene probes, hormones, enzymes, drugs, dyes, fluorophores and radioactively labelled substances.  Methods are provided for the preparation of reagents and conjugates of the invention.

Abstract: An error control arrangement for an optical fiber rotation sensor having electromagnetic waves propagating in opposite di-rections passing through a bias optical phase modulator (19) operated by a phase modulation generator (20) both of which can contribute second harmonic distortion resulting in errors in the sensor output signal which are controlled. Control of the bias opt-ical phase modulator (19) contribution for a modulator having a piezoelectric body (30) wrapped with an optical fiber portion (40) is accomplished by mounting the body between layers (33, 35) having nonlinear stiffness.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un bras support à positionnement manuel à monter sur une structure pour permettre le réglage d'un plateau porte-clavier entre plusieurs positions de travail. L'objet de l'invention comprend une ferrure de montage, un premier rouleau solidaire de la ferrure de montage, un second rouleau solidaire d'une pièce faisant saillie sous le plateau porte-clavier. Une enveloppe rigide recouvre sensiblement complètement les deux rouleaux susmentionnés, tourillonnée sur les portées circulaires respectives des deux rouleaux de façon à maintenir un écartement constant entre eux tout en pouvant tourner par rapport à ceux-ci. Une bande sans fin de longueur constante est montée autour des deux rouleaux de façon à être tendue entre eux et les recouvrir pour éviter le désaxement du second rouleau par rapport au premier rouleau lorsque le second est animé d'un mouvement de rotation planétaire autour du premier, à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe rigide. Un verrouillage est prévu entre le second rouleau et l'enveloppe rigide pour empêcher, à volonté, la rotation du second rouleau par rapport à l'enveloppe rigide, ce qui a pour effet de bloquer le plateau porte-clavier à la position de travail choisie.

Abstract: A spray pump package (10) capable of delivering two or more different predetermined spray patterns or spray characteristics through two or more different spray orifices (20, 30) but at a liquid application amount per unit of area being treated which is optimum for the particular spray orifice (20, 30) selected rather than a compromise between two extremes. The predetermined spray patterns from which the end user may select may differ by any desired spray pattern or characteristic, including but not limited to: the cone angle of the spray; the width of the spray pattern; the average size of the particles in the spray; the amount of particle size deviation from the average; etc. The packages are provided with means for automatically adjusting the maximum available pump stroke so as to optimize the maximum amount of product which can be delivered on each complete pump stroke for whichever orifice is selected by the end user. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the package employs a positive displacement pump which is self priming regardless of stroke length.

Title: Method and apparatus for frequency modulating a semiconductor laser, and an optical communication system using the same
Inventor: OUCHI TOSHIHIKO
IPC: H01S5/0687
Filed: 1994-09-14
Granted: 1999-03-23
Abstract: A driving method of the present invention drives a semiconductor laser which is provided with at least first and second electrodes through each of which current is injected into the semiconductor laser. Varying current is injected through the first electrode when the frequency of the varying current is in a high frequency band.  Varying current is injected through the first electrode while phase-shifted current, whose phase is shifted relative to the varying current, is injected through the second electrode, when the frequency of the varying current is in a low frequency band which is lower than the frequency of the high frequency band.  Feedback-control may be performed for controlling a ratio between amplitudes of the modulation current and the phase-shifted current based on a light output from the semiconductor laser.  The varying current includes at least modulation current modulated according to a predetermined signal or negative feedback current produced by an electric signal obtained by detecting fluctuation of oscillation wavelength of a light output from the semiconductor laser. Thus, an optical signal radiated from the laser can be desirably stabilized over a wide frequency band range.

Granted: 1999-01-26
Abstract: A first validation circuit utilizes residual energy unaccounted for by a linear predictive coding model for a specified order of model as a criteria on which to make a validity determination of whether a valid tone or digit has been received.  A second validation circuit operating in conjunction with the first validation circuit utilizes discrete Fourier transforms at the center and adjacent frequencies to energy peaks associated with tones.  A ratio of the peak energy to the adjacent energies is utilized in combination with  corresponding thresholds to make a validity determination.  The combination of the first and second validation circuit provides a high level of confidence that a particular tone or digit has been detected.

Granted: 2000-04-11
Abstract: Condoms and other sheaths are tested for holes by drawing the sheath over a hollow porous mandrel having smaller openings at its head end than in the rest of its body,  providing a difference between the pressure within the mandrel and the pressure outside the condom, and comparing the rate of change of pressure within the mandrel with the rate of change of a reference pressure.   The mandrel is shaped such that powder particles in the inner surface of the condom are moved toward the head of the mandrel where the smaller openings are when a condom is drawn onto it, for substantially preventing the powder from clogging the larger pores below the head region of the mandrel.

Title: Rotating bill acceptor
Inventor: LEGRAS JEAN PIERRE
IPC: G07D11/00
Filed: 1996-12-16
Granted: 2003-02-04
Abstract: A rotating bill acceptor mounted inside a currency accepting machine is disclosed herein.  The bill acceptor includes a bill validator which accepts (or rejects) cash inserted by users of the machine and a secure cash box which stores the bills out of the machine users' reach.  The entire bill acceptor is pivotally mounted on a bracket in the machine interior.  During normal operation, the bill acceptor is positioned such that its bill validator portion extends through an opening in a locked door on the machine's housing.  Thus, the bill validator is available to accept cash while the cash box is protected within the machine interior.  When it becomes necessary to remove the cash collected by the bill acceptor, a collection worker unlocks the door on themachine's housing, thereby accessing a mechanism which allows the bill acceptor to rotate out of its normal position and into a position in which the cash box is accessible through the unlocked door.  The collection worker may then replace the full cash box with an empty cash box.
