Title: Apparatus for cutting food product
Inventor: KING DANIEL
IPC: B26D7/06
Filed: 2003-10-07
Abstract: A food product cutting apparatus (10) that makes a substantially horizontal cut through food product being delivered in a substantially vertical direction. The food product delivered to a cutting device (12) through an internal passage (24) of at least one feed member (22) above the cutting device. A force is applied to the food product traveling downward through the internal passage (24) so as to push the food product against a first wall (26) of the feed member (22). The apparatus is configured to improve product flow by configuring the passage (24) of the feed member (22) to have a cross-sectional shape defined by two offset, overlapping diameters. The apparatus is also configured for improved safety by ensuring that the cutting device (10) is properly secured before electrical power is available for driving the cutting device (10).

Title: Airless dispensing pump
Inventor: LAW BRIAN R
IPC: F04B15/02
Filed: 2005-07-05
Abstract: An airless dispenser pump assembly includes a pump mechanism with an inlet valve that is configured to efficiently pump viscous fluids and that is able to be pre-primed when the pump mechanism is attached to a container. In one form, the inlet valve includes a seal member that seals an inlet port of the pump and an outer support member that secures the inlet valve to the rest of the pump mechanism. Two or more legs generally extend in a circumferential direction between the support member and the seal member in order to create a large flow opening for fluid flow through the inlet valve when opened and to rapidly close the inlet valve. The pump mechanism further includes an outlet valve that is configured to draw fluid back from a nozzle of the pump after dispensing in order to minimize build up around the nozzle.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une feuille d'étiquettes (1) qui présente un revêtement détachable (16) et une colonne d'étiquettes (12) collées de manière détachable. Selon cette invention, on modifie cette feuille d'étiquettes afin de pouvoir retirer facilement les étiquettes. Le revêtement présente une ligne de séparation affaiblie (30) formée de découpes et de liaisons qui s'étendent en-dessous d'une colonne d'étiquettes, à proximité du bord des étiquettes, ainsi que des encoches (18) situées au niveau de la partie supérieure et de la partie inférieure de la feuille et alignées aux découpes et liaisons. Une matrice (14) entourant les étiquettes, si présente, présente également des découpes et liaisons qui sont parallèles et légèrement décalées par rapport aux découpes et liaisons dans le revêtement. Les lignes de séparation sont assez résistantes pour que la feuille d'étiquettes passe dans une imprimante, mais assez faibles pour qu'un utilisateur puisse déchirer le revêtement et la matrice le long des lignes de séparation, exposant alors un bord mineur d'une colonne d'étiquettes, ce qui permet de les retirer facilement de la feuille d'étiquettes.

Inventor: GARDNER ANDREW MARTIN
IPC: G01S3/04
Filed: 2004-01-07
Abstract: A radio direction finding (RDF) receiver using an array of receiving antennas for known signals with a relatively large frequency uncertainty is described.  Additional sensitivity for low signal to noise environments, compared to a conventional receiver used for direction of arrival (DOA) measurements, is obtained. This is achieved by using the outputs of all the receiving antennas combined to provide coherent signal to noise gain, but without the associated increased directivity of the larger aperture.

Patent CA-2513265-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DA CRUZ AUGUSTO NEVES PETERSEN
IPC: C07K17/00
Filed: 2004-01-22
Abstract: The present invention involves a method of coupling disulfide bridge containing proteins to a carrier by inducing the formation of thiol groups on a protein with irradiation, and coupling the protein to the carrier. The formation of thiol group(s) in the protein is a consequence of the disruption of disulfide bridges following electronic excitation of aromatic amino acid residues located in close spacial proximity to the disulfide bridge. The light-induced coupling method facilitates the orientated immobilization of a protein on a carrier.

Inventor: KNORR JOHN
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2004-01-15
Abstract: A method of managing the delivery of offers via a spatial marketplace system involves registering potential customers as members of the system by recording their names and contact details in a database. A spatial identifier, sourced from the contact details supplied during a registration process, is assigned to each database record. Each member nominates one or more attributes corresponding to a commodity in relation to which the member is interested in receiving offers. Each supplier defines a geographic region in which the supplier wishes to do business and nominates one or more attributes corresponding to commodities, which the supplier wishes to sell. A spatial identifier location algorithm is used to identify the database records with spatial identifers located within the supplier defined geographical region.  Delivery of offers from a supplier is restricted to members associated with the identified database records which have nominated attributes matching the supplier nominated attributes.

Inventor: LEGRAND EMMANUEL
IPC: A01D34/416
Filed: 2004-01-23
Abstract: A cutting head for a brush cutter, edge trimmer or similar, the head comprises a passageway (112) for a cutter string (300) and at least one curved surface (120) for supporting the string, the surface extending between an exit region (115) for said string from said passageway and a peripheral region of the head. According to the invention, the passageway extends (A) in a manner that is offset from an axis of rotation (C) of the head so as to present an inside edge constituted by its edge closest to said axis of rotation, said inner edge corresponding to a trailing edge of the string while the head is rotating, and the curved portion extends from said inner edge. This serves to reduce the radius of curvature of the curved portion without needing to increase the diameter of the head.

Title: Multi-layer drug delivery device and method of manufacturing same
Inventor: LIEN MAO-JUNG MAURICE
IPC: A61K31/337
Filed: 2005-07-08
Abstract: This application relates to a multi-layer drug delivery device and a meth od of manufacture. The device comprises a substrate; at least one first layer o n the substrate containing the drug and a first solvent; and at least one seco nd layer applied to the first layer to regulate release of the drug from the first layer, wherein the second layer comprises a polymer. The first solvent substantially prevents direct contact between the drug and the polymer. When applied to the first layer, the polymer is preferably dissolved in a second solvent which is immiscible with the first solvent to substantially prevent inter-diffusion between the first and second layers. In one application the substrate is a medical device, such as an implantable stent, having a biocompatible outer surface. The second layer is preferably biodegradable, bioabsorbable and/or bioresolvable in vivo to permit gradual exposure of the first layer and elution of the drug therefrom.
