Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: A system and method for determining a round trip delay of signals transmitte d between first and second objects, such as a satellite (104) and a mobile telephone (108), that move relative to each other. A first signal is transmitted (404) from the first object (104, 108) to the second object (108 , 104). The first signal is received at the second object (408) after a propagation delay D1, the delay D1 being the time taken by the first signal to traverse from the first object to the second object. A frequency of the firs t signal is measured (412) at the second object. The second object then transmits to the first object a second signal (416) containing a report of t he measured first frequency. The second signal is received at the first object after a propagation delay D2, D2 being the time taken by the second signal t o traverse from the second object to the first object. The first object measur es a frequency of the second signal (424). The first object then determines the  range between the first and second object (428) from the measured overall delay and the measured frequencies of the first and second signals.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des méthodes de détection de protéines prions (PrP-Sc) indicatrices des encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles (TSE). Un aspect de l'invention porte sur des anticorps monoclonaux se liant spécifiquement à un épitope conservé de protéines prions, et sur l'utilisation des anticorps dans des immunoessais permettant de détecter, dans des tissus fixés ou non fixés, la PrP-Sc indicatrice de la présence d'infection TSE. Un autre aspect de l'invention concerne un cocktail d'anticorps monoclonaux, dans lequel un premier anticorps monoclonal est combiné à un second anticorps monoclonal qui se lie spécifiquement à un second épitope conservé de protéines prions.

Title: Hybrid chemical and biological process for decontaminating sludge from municipal sewage
Inventor: HAMMY FATIMA
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a hybrid biological and chemical method for decontaminating sludge containing heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms, consisting of the following steps: the sludge is mixed with an acidic leaching solution in order to acidify the sludge with a pH which is low enough to solubilize the majority of the heavy metals and to destroy most of the pathogenic microorganisms but which is also high enough to minimize the solubilization of fertilizing elements; oxidation-reduction of more than +400 mv is maintained, liquid-solid separation occurs in order to obtain a solid fraction comprising decontaminated acidic sludge and a liquid fraction comprising heavy metals which are dissolved in a leaching solution; the sludge is neutralized: and neturalized decontaminated sludge is recovered, whereby the fertilizing elements contained therein, i.e. carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, remain substantially unchanged in relation to the initially contaminated sludge.

Patent CA-2390595-A1 (CA)
Title: Operating arrangement for mechanism
Inventor: SHUM ANDREW C
IPC: H01H9/20
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: An operating arrangement is provided for a mechanism or the like, e.g. an operating mechanism for a circuit interrupter for electrical power transmission and distribution systems where the operating mechanism operates  on stored energy and requires a recharging operation after the stored energy  is utilized to operate the circuit interrupter. The operating arrangement includes an operating member and a cooperating arrangement carried by the operating mechanism for retaining the operating member during a multi-turn charging operation. Initial operation of the operating member for one or mor e turns causes the operating member to be retained before any charging operati on takes place. Subsequent operation of the operating member results in the changing of the operating mechanism. The operating member is then returned t o an initial engagement position whereupon the operating member is released fo r removal from the operating mechanism. In a specific embodiment, an interlock  function is also provided for the operating member, such that a key must be obtained from an associated device and inserted into the operating member before a recharging operation may begin for the operating mechanism. The key  is inserted into the operating member and held captive therein before the operating member may be utilized to recharge the operating mechanism. In a specific implementation, the key is released from the associated device only  when the associated device is locked in a particular operative state, e.g. a  disconnect switch is locked open which releases the key for use in the operating member. Thus, while the key is held captive in the operating membe r during recharging operation, the disconnect switch cannot be operated.</SDOA B>
