Patent CA-2445057-C (CA)
Title: Self-aspirating high-area-ratio inter-turbine duct assembly for use in a gas turbine engine
Inventor: KIRTLEY KEVIN
IPC: F01D5/14
Filed: 2003-10-09
Granted: 2009-09-22
Abstract: In various embodiments, the present invention provides a means for improving gas turbine engine performance by applying fluid flow control to the inter-turbine duct (20) joining a high-pressure turbine spool (17) and an associated low-pressure turbine spool (15), allowing the low-pressure turbine spool (15) to have a relatively larger diameter than the high-pressure turbine spool (17). One or more unobstructed fluid flow paths (27) between one or more boundary layer suction ports (44) disposed within the upstream end (22) of the outer-body surface (32) of the inter- turbine duct (20) and the suction side of the associated low-pressure turbine nozzle (12) are provided. Advantageously, the natural static pressure difference between these points results in a self aspirating assembly (10). The fluid flow control provided by the respective suction and blowing forces generated allows for a relatively larger diameter low-pressure turbine spool (15) and/or relatively fewer low-pressure turbine nozzles (12) to be used than is possible with conventional systems, assemblies, and methods. Thus, a gas turbine engine weight savings and optimized performance may be achieved.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une matière de formation d'un complexe génique, comprenant un polymère soluble dans l'eau avec un peptide contenant une séquence d'acides aminés servant de substrat à une enzyme répondant à un signal intracellulaire et des acides aminés de base de nature cationique ; un complexe génique composé de ladite matière de formation de complexe génique avec un gène ; et une méthode de transfert de gène et un agent de transfert de gène utilisant ladite méthode. L'invention concerne plus précisément une nouvelle matière et une méthode dans laquelle le fragment cationique du peptide et le gène forment un complexe ionique rigide permettant d'obtenir un complexe génique stable et, suite à la réponse à un signal cellulaire, la charge positive du fragment cationique du peptide est neutralisée ou disparaît et le complexe génique est rompu dans la cellule de manière à libérer le gène, activant ainsi le gène transféré dans des cellules spécifiques. La neutralisation ou disparition de la charge positive peut être obtenue, par exemple, par phosphorylation à l'aide de la protéine kinase A ou par clivage par caspase.

Title: Controlling viewing distance to a television receiver
Inventor: DONATO DAVIDE SALVATORE
IPC: G08C17/02
Filed: 2003-12-17
Granted: 2012-02-28
Abstract: A child is encouraged not to sit close to the screen of television receiver. A base unit on the television receiver has a proximity detector that senses whether the child is within a preset range forward of the television receiver. In response to a range violation, the base unit transmits a triggering signal on an RF carrier to a slave unit. In response to the triggering signal, the slave unit transmits an OFF command on an infrared carrier to a standard infrared sensor built into the television receiver. The command is identical to the OFF command transmitted by a remote control associated with the television receiver. Since the base and slave units communicate via an omnidirectional RF carrier, the slave unit can be freely positioned to ensure adequate line of sight transmission communication with the television receiver via the infrared carrier.

Abstract: A prefilled syringe or carpule is provided for medical purposes, having a glass syringe barrel and inside it a syringe plunger which can be displaced by means of a plunger rod. A cannula cap, in which a cannula is fixedly inserted and held axially in a detent position, is mounted on the cannula end of the syringe barrel. Further provided is a sealing disk inserted in the cannula cap and arranged coaxially to the cannula cap. One side of the disk lies flush against the end face of the syringe barrel and the other side lies flush against the internal face of the cannula cap and the disk centrally displays a recess in the form of a blind hole, whose base forms a membrane. The end of the cannula closest to the syringe barrel projects clear through the internal face of the cannula cap into the recess of the sealing disk. Finally, the syringe possesses a sealing component consisting of a sealing cap and a locking ring joined to it by means of a predetermined breaking point, which can moved from a first detent position formed for the locking ring in the external surface of the shell of the cannula cap, thus making possible the sterilization of the interior space of the sealing component, to a locking position enclosing and sterilely sealing off the cannula cap.

Granted: 2011-05-31
Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to client-server, client-host, or server-server communications in a distributed computer network and, more particularly, to enhancing of resource adapters adapted to facilitate such communications. The present invention is directed to enhancing resource adapters that work with screens. Aspects of the invention, which may be incorporated into or communicate with existing resource adapters, provide a standard screen record for manipulating data on a screen image. The standard screen record provides support for instances where prior knowledge of the screen format or layout is known and for those instances where there is no knowledge of the screen format. Additionally, the standard screen record provides detailed data describing all attributes of a field and of the screen image itself. Additionally, the invention also provides easy access to the field attribute data. In some embodiments, aspects of the invention may include interfaces which enable tooling to be developed which can then be used to develop applications which utilize the functionality of the other aspects of the invention. This interface could provide a common way for tooling to support resource adapters that implemented the interface.

In one embodiment, the marker includes a casing, a resonating circuit, and a ferromagnetic element. The ferromagnetic element can have a volume such that when the marker is in an imaging magnetic field having a field strength of 1.5 T and a gradient of 3 T/m, then the force exerted on the marker by the imaging magnetic field is not greater than gravitational force exerted on the marker. In an alternative embodiment, the ferromagnetic element need not have such a volume, but the marker further includes an imaging element incorporated with the casing and/or the magnetic transponder (e.g., resonating circuit). The imaging element produces a radiographic profile in a radiographic image such that the marker has a radiographic centroid at least approximately coincident with the magnetic centroid of the transponder.
