Patent CA-2461620-A1 (CA)
Title: Gasketless drum
Inventor: MASLOWSKI EDWARD M
IPC: B65D43/06
Filed: 2002-07-02
Abstract: A reusable sealable plastic drum (100) incorporates a plastic drum body (102) with a convex upper chime (110) having a convex chime radius. The plastic lid (114) has an annular, peripheral mating channel (118) sized to accept the upper chime. The channel has an inner wall (120), an outer wall (122), a mouth for receiving the upper chime, and a base surface (124) for engaging the upper chime. The base surface has a concave radius, which is matched to the convex chime radius. A lockband surrounds the outer wall (130). Tightening of the lockband causes the concave base radius to fully engage the convex chime radius in a sealing relationship.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un bactériophage thérapeutique déficient en protéine lysine (phage "Lys-moins"). Les bactériophages Lys-moins sont incapables de faciliter une lyse efficace de l'hôte bactérien puisque l'activité enzymatique de la lysine du phage est requise pour casser la couche de peptidoglucane de la paroi cellulaire bactérienne. Les bactériophages Lys-moins maintiennent une activité d'invasion de leur hôte bactérien adéquat, de destruction du génome bactérien, et de replication, ce qui suffit à inhiber la croissance et la replication bactérienne. Ainsi, le phage thérapeutique Lys-moins stoppe la propagation de l'infection du pathogène bactérien sans réaliser la lyse de la bactérie. Cette approche est intéressante dans la mesure où elle permet aussi d'empêcher la libération de génome de descendance, ce qui réduit ou élimine le risque de déclencher des réponses immunes contre le phage. Le pathogène bactérien frappé d'incapacité est alors éliminé par les système de défense normaux notamment par le biais de phagocytes et de macrophages.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de traitement de la pâte à papier qui comprend un dispositif d'essorage (2) qui essore la pâte à papier à une concentration de fibre d'au moins 20%, une cuve de déchiquetage (16) fermée qui déchiquette la pâte à papier essorée, et un tuyau d'évacuation (22) de ladite cuve. Une vis transporteuse (18), disposée dans le tuyau d'évacuation, transporte la pâte à papier déchiquetée de la cuve de déchiquetage à travers ledit tuyau vers une cuve de réaction (6) en vue du blanchiment de la pâte déchiquetée par le biais de la réaction avec l'ozone. Le tuyau d'évacuation (22) est conçu avec un plafond (27) rehaussé, de façon qu'un espace gazeux supérieur (29) sans pâte à papier se forme dans ledit tuyau entre le plafond et la vis transporteuse. Un élément de limitation d'écoulement sous la forme de cloison (31), disposé dans l'espace gazeux supérieur du tuyau d'évacuation, limite le débit gazeux traversant ledit espace, ce qui permet de réduire l'action de pompage de la vis transporteuse dans le tuyau d'évacuation.

Title: Method and apparatus for the data-driven synchronous parallel processing of digital data
Inventor: GUDMUNSON DANIEL
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the data-driven synchronous parallel processing of digital data, which temporally separates the processes of instructions distributions and data requests from the process of actual data processing.  The method includes the steps of: dividing the stream of digital data into data packets, distributing instructions to data processing units before their execution, consecutively synchronously processing data packets by multiple data processing units processing in parallel, and synchronization of parallel multiple data processing units by data tokens attached to the data packets. In the preferred embodiment the method comprises one or more of the steps of:  storing instructions inside the data processing units, requesting data before the start of data processing, storing records for requested data packets, associating received data with the records of data requests, attaching to each data packet a validity signal (data token) indicating the validity or non-validity of the received data for processing, and extension of data buffers coupled to the data processing units into elastic data buffers capable of absorbing variations in the data rate. In the preferred embodiment a data buffer is provided between adjacent data handling units, and the invention manipulates the timing of the buffer's emptiness and fullness signals, processing each data packet coming into buffer in accordance with its validity signal (data token), and associating a validity signal (data token) with the data packet sent out from buffer. In one embodiment the invention provides method and apparatus for the data-driven processing of digital data using a non-blocking cache, which temporally separates the processes of instructions distributions and data requests from the processes of memory accesses for cache misses and actual data processing, in which the method further includes the steps of checking the requested data against the data previously stored in a data cache, and requesting a cache missed data before the start of data processing. This embodiment of the invention optionally provides a method and apparatus to modify data previously stored in the data cache with data received from the data processing units.

Title: Partially depleted soi mosfet with self-aligned body tie
Inventor: FECHNER PAUL
IPC: H01L21/76
Filed: 2003-05-27
Abstract: A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) device structure 100 formed using a self-aligne d body tie (SABT) process. The SABT process connects the silicon body of a partially depleted (PD) structure to a bias terminal. In addition, the SABT process creates a self-aligned area of silicon around the edge of the active areas, as defined by the standard transistor active area mask, providing an area efficient device layout. By reducing the overall gate area, the speed a nd yield of the device may be increased. In addition, the process flow minimize s the sensitivity of critical device parameters due to misalignment and critic al dimension control. The SABT process also suppresses the parasitic gate capacitance created with standard body tie techniques.

Filed: 2003-06-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne un modèle moléculaire d'interactions entre ARN et protéine antivirale de phytolaque (PAP) pour mettre au point de manière rationnelle des FLP-102 (?151¿AA?152¿) et FLP-105 (?191¿AG?192¿) en tant que protéines PAP non toxiques à activité anti-VIH efficace. FLP-102 et FLP-105 ont été produits dans E. coli et testés à la fois in vitro et in vivo. Ces protéines assurent une bien meilleure dépurination de l'ARN du VIH-1 que l'ARN ribosomique et ce sont des agents anti-VIH plus efficaces que le PAP natif ou que le PAP de type sauvage recombinant. Elles sont sensiblement moins toxiques que le PAP natif chez les souris BALB/c et elles présentent une activité efficace in vivo contre le VIH-1 génotypiquement et phénotypiquement résistant aux NRTI dans un modèle de souris Hu-PBL-SCID substitut du SIDA humain. Des protéines PAP recombinantes non toxiques et mises au point de manière rationnelle telles que les FLP-102 et FLP-105 peuvent constituer la base de thérapies de sauvetage efficaces pour des patients hébergeant des souches de VIH-1 hautement résistantes aux médicaments. L'efficacité documentée in vitro des FLP-102 et FLP-105, leur activité antirétrovirale in vivo chez des souris Hu-PBL SCID infectées par le VIH, et leur profil de toxicité favorable chez des souris BALB/c sont autant de raisons pour que ces nouveaux agents biothérapeutiques prometteurs soient développés à l'avenir.
