Title: A kit for detecting non-pathogenic or pathogenic influenza a subtype h5 virus
Inventor: LAU LOK-TING
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: Current methods for detecting influenza A subtype H5 virus, for example cell  culture, haemagglutination-inhibition, fluorescent antibody and enzyme immunoassay, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) ma y have the disadvantages of low sensitivity and low specificity. Furthermore, such methods are relatively difficult to use, and may not be suitable for routine detection on a daily basis. The kit for detecting H5 virus of this invention may provide a user-friendly alternative that is relatively more sensitive and specific to H5 virus. The detection kit utilizes two specially  designed primers A and B for the replication of H5 virus, and a specific capture probe for immobilizing the amplified viral RNA. An additional primer  C is also designed for the detection of pathogenic H5 virus. The detection of H5 virus by the detection kit may be accomplished within one day if desired.</S DOAB>

Patent CA-2439450-A1 (CA)
Title: Felting apparatus and method
Inventor: SMEJA MICHAEL V
IPC: E04D15/04
Filed: 2003-09-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for fastening an elongated strip such as a felting strip or the like to a roof with the rolling of the apparatus along the roof.   Preferably, the machine applies the staples at an acuate angle of about 30' to 40° to the longitudinal axis of the strip and staple gun extends at the acute angle with the user's arm also extending at this acute angle. The staple gun must be enabled by placing it against the roof before an actuation of the trigger will cause a firing of the staple. The strip may be mounted in a reel that is in a substantially vertical plane with a strip guide and point of application of the strip to the roofing felt so that the strip is not twisted in its travel from the reel to the roof. The strip may be severed by a severing device, as when reaching an edge of the roof, and automatic strip advancing device may be actuated to advance a new leading end of the strip for placement beneath the nose of the staple gun. An automatic firing mechanism may be enabled for automatically applying staples to the strip at equal intervals along the length of the strip; or the automatic firing mechanism may be disabled and a manual trigger may be actuated to fire the staple gun. An elongated strip having a thickness of about 0.010 inch thickness is made with laminated layers with a first layer molecularly oriented to provide high tensile strength and a second layer of softer polyfilm to reduce tearing when the strip is stretched and begins to tear at a staple.
