Patent CA-2061293-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PEREGO LUCIANO
IPC: B65H21/00
Filed: 1992-02-17
Abstract: The described cassette loading apparatus and method comprises a plurality of loading modules disposed consecutively in side-by- side relation and each provided with a loading station designed to engage individual cassettes and fill them with a predetermined amount of use tape taken from a respective pancake mounted on a support hub.  A manipulating unit moving at the upper part of the machine removes the out of tape pancakes form the single hubs and replace them with new pancakes filled with use tape taken from a storage unit located laterally in side by side relation with the loading modules.  Search and setup devices associated with the manipulating unit are designed to find and pick up the end of the use tape on a new pancake mounted to the hub and guide it in a predetermined path as far as it is operatively engaged in the corresponding loading station.
Patent CA-2061601-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLEN ROBERT C
IPC: A01N63/50
Filed: 1992-02-20
Abstract: Haloperoxidases are used to selectively bind to and, in the presence of peroxide and halide, inhibit the growth of target microbes without eliminating desirable microbes or significantly damaging other components, such as host cells, in the environment of the target microbe. When a target microbe, e.g., a pathogenic microbe, has a binding capacity for haloperoxidase greater than that of a desired microbe, e.g., members of the normal flora, the target microbe selectively binds the haloperoxidase with little or no binding of the haloperoxidase by the desired microbe. In the presence of peroxide and halide, the target bound haloperoxidase catalyzes halide oxidation and facilitates the disproportionation of peroxide to singlet molecular oxygen at the surface of the target microbe. The lifetime of singlet molecular oxygen restricts damage to the surface resulting in selective killing of the target microbe with a minimum of collateral damage to the desired microbe or physiological medium. The methods and compositions of the invention are highly useful in the therapeutic or prophylactic antiseptic treatment of human or animal subjects, since their use can be designed to be highly effective in combatting bacterial or fungal infections without significant damage to normal flora or host cells. Suitable haloperoxidases include myeloperoxidase (MPO), eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), laetoperoxidase (LPO), chloroperoxidase (CPO) and derivatives thereof capable of selective binding to target microbes.

Title: Robigon and sinugon; new detector geometries
Inventor: CHARPENTIER ROBERT
IPC: H01L27/146
Filed: 1992-02-03
Abstract: ABSTRACT        Standard mosaic geometries in modern imaging systems, such as a thermal imager, give rise to the fundamental limitation of creating undersampled images that are degraded by aliasing which is a distortion affecting spatial frequency components of the image that are higher than half the sampling frequency.  A point target image can either cover one image sensing element and generate a strong single signal or cover up to four adjacent sensing elements which will produce much weaker signals and result in edges of a spread target being degraded by spurious registration.  In order to minimize aliasing for a square sampling grid, improved geometries for the detector elements are used which reduce the number of dead zones associated with the current square geometries for the detector elements.  One type of geometry for a detector element is a robigon having the form of a polygon obtained by substituting linear sides of a square by a triangular wave shaped edge.  This new shape of detector element has the same area as the original square but when closely interfitted with its neighbours forms a mosaic in which all dead zones between the elements are broken into non-linear strips.  Similar results are obtained when a sine wave, rather than a triangular wave, shaped side is used to break the normal dead zones that exist between square shaped image sensing elements.

Title: Apparatus and Process for Working Windrowed Ingredients in the Production of Mushroom Compost
Inventor: THOMAS THOMAS M
IPC: C05F17/02
Filed: 1993-01-25
Abstract: A mobile machine and process are provided for milling, mixing, wetting and re-forming an initial windrow of vertically layered ingredients used in the pre-wet cycle for producing mushroom compost. In performing these actions, an assembly of toothed drums, rotating in the same direction and arranged along an upwardly and forwardly projecting inclined plane, progressively mills the windrow across its cross-section longitudinally and propels the milled material upwardly and rearwardly so that it drops and mixes to form a vertically blended, transverse product. The product is preferably cross-mixed by auguring it transversely and depositing it at a transfer point, from whence it is elevated and delivered by a conveyor belt, to form a new windrow parallel or co-linear with the initial windrow. Water is sprayed on the ingredients in the course of propelling, auguring and elevating. A generally uniform blending of the ingredients, coupled with aeration and wetting, creates favourable conditions for contained bacteria to work on the material. The procedure is repeated on each new windrow until the pre-wet cycle is complete.

Abstract: An automatic drilling system regulates the drill string of a drilling rig in response to any one of, any combination of, or all of drilling fluid pressure, bit weight, drill string torque, and drill string RPM to achieve an optimal rate of bit penetration. The automatic drilling system includes a drilling fluid pressure sensor, a bit weight sensor, a drill string torque sensor, and a drill string RPM sensor which deliver a drilling fluid pressure signal, a bit weight signal, a drill string torque signal, and a drill string RPM signal to a drilling fluid pressure regulator, a bit weight regulator, a drill string torque regulator, and a drill string RPM regulator. The regulators control a drill string controller in response to the above signals so that it manipulates the drilling rig to release the drill string at a rate which maintains the maximum rate of bit penetration.
