Patent CA-2281660-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HIGUCHI MASARU
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: An illumination panel comprises a light source, a photoconductor for guiding light from the light source, and an optical film for emitting light emitted from the photoconductor ahead of an observer. The photoconductor comprises a stepwise face having an incident end face onto which the light from the light source is projected, step faces, and step differentiating faces for emitting the light guided from the light source and connecting the step faces, and reflective films formed on the step faces. The optical film is arranged at the front side of the photoconductor, and has projected incident portions which are opposite to the step differentiating faces in a light emitting direction.  The optical film emits the light emitted from the step differentiating faces ahead, and causes the light that is projected from the front to be reflected ahead on reflective faces on the step faces. In the incident portions, one of the side faces opposite to the step differentiating faces of the photoconductor makes an incident face for receiving the light emitted from the step differentiating faces, and the other makes a refractive face for reflecting/refracting the light taken in the incident face toward its front face. A liquid crystal display element is arranged at the front of this illumination panel so that they constitute a liquid crystal display device.
Patent CA-2283698-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for preparing alkaline solutions containing aromatic polymers
Inventor: ABAECHERLI ALFRED
IPC: C09K23/50
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: The invention proposes a process which enables separation of aromatic polymers which can be precipitated by acidification, as can be found especially in waste water from cellulose production, from an alkaline solution in a reliable manner and in pure form.      To achieve good separation capacity, especially by filtration, it is proposed that the polymers be precipitated by reducing the pH at a relatively low temperature, typically between 15 and 60°C, and the dispersion be subsequently reheated until it passes into filterable form, typically between 50 and 95°C. The product separated in this way for example by filtration can be washed and can be dried at a high temperature, especially up to 110°C, without becoming black.

Title: Method and means for controlling the variations in weight of extruded sausages
Inventor: DAVISON DAVID
IPC: A22C11/02
Filed: 1999-07-14
Abstract: A conveyor assembly for moving an extruded strand of sausage (26) from an extruding machine (10) and for coagulating the outer surface (28) of the strand (26) has first (48) and second (49) conveyor elements mounted on a frame (36). The conveyor assembly on the frame (36) moves from a point of beginning (38) to a discharge station (40) and thence back to the point of beginning (38). A brine fluid circuit is disposed on the frame above the conveyor with a plurality of discharge nozzles thereon to spray brine on a strand of sausage moving with the conveyor assembly. A pair of laser lights (88) project beams (90) on the unlinked strand (26) to determine the diameter thereof. A signal is sent from the lasers to a controller (92) who compares the diameter of the strand to a predetermined diameter. The controller controls a meat emulsion pump (14) and causes it to increase or decrease its meat discharge rate to compensate for variations in diameter, and hence weight, between the measured strand and the predetermined strand on file in the controller.

Patent CA-2328412-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ARNOLD FRANCES H
IPC: C12N15/81
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: A method for detecting the presence of an oxygenated compound which is produced when a substrate is reacted with an oxygenase for the substrate. The method involves reacting a coupling enzyme with the oxygenated compound to form a polymeric oxygenated compound which is fluorescent or luminescent.  Measurement of the fluorescence or luminescence of the polymeric oxygenated compound provides indirect detection of the oxygenated compound produced by reaction of the oxygenase with the substrate. The method is carried out in a whole cell environment wherein the cell is transformed to express both the oxygenase being screened and the coupling enzyme. The method can be used to measure the activity of monooxygenases and dioxygenases on aromatic substrates. The method is amenable to large scale screening of enzyme mutants to isolate those with maximum oxygenase activity.
