Patent CA-2404622-A1 (CA)
Title: Magnetrons
Inventor: BRADY MICHAEL BARRY CLIVE
IPC: H01J23/48
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: A magnetron includes a decoupling plate located between the end hat of the magnetron cathode and an output coupling member. The use of the decoupling plate presents a high impedance and gives a resonant circuit which is arranged to be resonant at the operating frequency of the magnetron. This prevents or reduces power loss due to capacitive coupling. In another arrangement, the decoupling plate is mounted be a post on the end hat of the magnetron cathode.

Patent CA-2412475-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STREMILOVA NINA NIKOLAEVNA
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2000-09-25
Abstract: L'invention relève du domaine de la fabrication de réactifs destinés à l'épuration des eaux environnementales ou usées de divers polluants d'origine naturelle ou industrielle et peut s'utiliser dans le domaine de l'écologie pour protéger la santé de l'homme et l'environnement. Selon l'invention, on obtient une composition à base de composés de titane (pris pour base) et de composés des éléments des groupes I-VIII du tableau périodique, au moyen du traitement de ces composés par des solutions de sels de titane accompagné d'un réchauffage à stades multiples et de l'introduction de composés supplémentaires (de composés trivalents de titane et d'oxydes métalliques). La nouveauté de l'invention consiste en ce que l'on utilise une base d'éléments plus large de la composition, on introduit des composés supplémentaires et on procède à un réchauffage à stades multiples avec une phase de polymérisation permettant d'obtenir un coagulant hautement efficace destiné à l'épuration des eaux en fonction de l'état et de la composition de la pollution sur des sites aquatiques déterminés. L'invention garantit un degré élevé de l'épuration des eaux environnementales ou usées des métaux lourds, des radionucléides, des compositions organiques (ce qui constitue son avantage principal), des micro-organismes, des substances en suspension, du phyto- et zooplancton et permet en outre d'atteindre des objectifs complexes et multiples en relation avec le nettoyage de sites aquatiques. L'invention peut être mise en oeuvre en industrie, dans des entreprises chimiques ou de fabrication de dioxyde de titane (par des procédés utilisant des chlorures ou des sulfates) ou de fabrication de titan métallique. La composition et le procédé de fabrication présentent un haut degré de sécurité: ils ne provoquent pas de pollution secondaire ni ne causent de formation de déchets de fabrication.

Title: A method of producing biologically active human acidic fibroblast growth factor and its use in promoting angiogenesis
Inventor: SLAVCHENKO IRYNA YU
IPC: C12N7/01
Filed: 2001-08-15
Abstract: The gene of human acidic fibroblast growth factor 155 (haFGF 155) has been obtained by chemical synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of haFGF 155 gene has been deduced on the basis of haFGF 155 amino acid sequence as described in the literature. The amino acid sequence of the synthesized haFGF 155 does not differ from those described in the literature. The nucleotide sequence of haFGF gene differs from those described previously. For chemical synthesis of haFGF 155 gene, codons were used which are the ones most often used by E. coli in highly expressed E. coli proteins. A plasmid with haFGF 155 (phaFGF 155) gene was obtained and was used to transform E. coli. Production of haFGF 154 protein was achieved by cultivation of the producer strain under conditions which slow down the lytic development of lambda phage. The haFGF 154 protein accumulated in culture medium in a soluble condition as a result of the producer strain cells lysis by the lambda phage. The haFGF 154 protein constituted 20% of the soluble protein accumulated in the culture medium and its biological activity was demonstrated by its ability to generate new vessels (angiogenesis). The initiator methionine residue at position 1 of the FGF 155 protein was completely removed during protein synthesis resulting in an FGF 154 amino acid product. The use of the phage-dependent method to produce other forms of the haFGF protein is also disclosed.

Title: Tamper evident closure
Inventor: STEFFENS JEFFREY E
IPC: B65D33/34
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: A security bag includes a tamper-evident closure which provides a visual indication if the closure is opened.      The closure includes an ink layer deposited on one wall of the security bag or on a flexible strip secured to one wall of the security bag, and an adhesive layer in overlying relationship with the ink layer for sealing the bag closed. The ink layer includes a release material deposited in a predetermined pattern, and a layer of a solid ink applied over the release material so that the predetermined pattern of the release material is not visible in the closure. The solid ink layer includes void spaces arranged in a predetermined pattern.      Preferably, the pattern of the void spaces is out of registry with the pattern of the release material so that the void spaces and release material overlap to varying degrees in the closure. If the closure is forced open, the solid ink will delaminate from the surface on which it is printed, revealing in the closure the predetermined pattern of the release material. Because the release material and the void spaces overlap by varying degrees, it is difficult to use a quick-drying marker or other coloring technique to fill in the pattern created by the release material so as to conceal an unauthorized opening of the bag.
