Filed: 1994-03-21
Granted: 2001-07-24
Abstract: The present invention employs a generative approach for configuring systems (10) such that a system may be configured based on component or resource requests (60), or input in the form of need. The present invention provides a constraint-based configuration system using a structural model (12) hierarchy. The structural aspects of the model provide the ability to define a model element as being contained in, or by, another model element. In addition, the structural model (12) provides the ability to identify logical datatype and physical interconnections (30) between elements and establish connections between elements. To configure a system, the present invention accepts input in the form of requests (e.g., component or resource) or needs, such as an expression of a need for a desktop computer system to be used in a CAD environment.
Patent CA-2159621-C (CA)

Granted: 2004-07-13
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for a conveyor chain with identical links (A, B, C). These are mutually operatively connected in such a way that two links (A, B; B, C) arranged adjacent to one another are capable of pivoting relative to one another about two mutually orthogonal axes, of which a first axis is perpendicular to the upper surface (1) of the link. The chain is able in this way both to run over a guide pulley and to follow a curved path. In order to permit flexibility in the curved path, gaps (6) are present between the links (A, B, C), the width of which gaps increases up to a certain limit on the convex side of the curved path, and decreases on the concave side as the radius of curvature of the chain path decreases. Each link (A, B, C) has a recess largely parallel with the upper surface (1) and essentially in the form of a slot. Arranged so as to run in which recess is at least one essentially disc-shaped element (8; 8a, 8b), the purpose of which is to cover the aforementioned gaps (6). As relative rotation occurs between two links (A, B; B, C) arranged next to one another, the increased width of the gap occasioned by the relative rotation is covered through an operative connection with one of the aforementioned links (A, B; B, C), and mutual rotation is permitted between the links.

Abstract: Capsular polysaccharides containing multiple sialic acid residues, particularly the Group B polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis, are modified by chemical reaction to randomly introduce pendant reactive residues of heterobifunctional linker molecules to the polysaccharide backbone. The capsular polysaccharide is deacetylated and the heterobifunctional linker molecule is reacted with the deacetylated material and any residual amino groups are blocked by reaction with alkyl acid anhydride. The introduction of the linker molecules to the polysaccharide chain between the termini enables the polysaccharide to be linked to a carrier molecule, such as a protein, to enhance the immunogenicity of the polysaccharide. The conjugate molecule may be formulated as an immunogenic composition for raising antibodies in a host to the polysaccharide.
