Patent CA-2256417-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MIDDLETON THOMAS M III
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1997-05-22
Abstract: In a distributed computing environment, a data stream is formed of a sequence of requested objects. The defined order of the sequence of objects is determined from a client request for data. The order may be a default order, or, alternatively, the server may track client criteria to determine the order. For example, the server (17) may track objects previously transmitted in the stream to the client (13) such that there is no duplication of objects.  In other instances, the server may select an object from a class of objects, depending upon object quality, bandwidth, client location, and other client-specific criteria. The server compiles and transmits the object data stream in real-time (on-the-fly) based on the criteria. Buffering of data with pausing to rectify buffer debt is provided by the client.

Abstract: A zero scrap method for manufacturing side panels for use with absorbent articles (20) includ-ing the following steps. First, a web (200) of ma-terial having predetermined portions is provided in a machine direction. The predetermined por-tions are then activated to provide stretch in the side panels. The web (200) is then cut contin-uously severing the web (200) into a first panel (300) and a second panel (305), each of the pan-els having alternating, nested inwardly extending elements defined by the cut and terminating at a distal edge. The inwardly extending elements are offset with respect to each other in the machine direction. The first (300) and second (305) pan-els are separated and positioned such that the in-wardly extending elements of the first (300) panel and the inwardly extending elements of the sec-ond (305) panel are aligned in the machine direc-tion. The distal edge of the inwardly extending elements of at least a portion of the first (300) panel is then joined with at least a portion of the distal edge of the inwardly extending elements of the second (305) panel. Finally, the composite of the first (300) and second (305) panels is severed in the cross machine direction to create an exten-sible side panel that can be joined to an absorbent article (20).

Patent CA-2269711-A1 (CA)
Title: Anti-fibrotic agent assay
Inventor: GEESIN JEFFREY C
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1997-10-24
Abstract: A novel method has been developed for screening anti-scarring and anti-fibrotic agents. This method offers simplicity, it is reproducible and could be adopted to screen a large number of new potential anti-fibrotic agents.  This method has characteristics in common with the BAEC/BASMC co-culture system, but is more sensitive and does not require screening a large number of clonal lines for developing an effective method. In this system, similarly to the co-culture system, activation of L-TGF-.beta.1 occurs by several independent mechanisms which involve binding of the latent complex to M6P/IGF-II receptors, thrombospondin and/or tissue type II transglutaminase. But, in contrast to the co-culture system, this macrophage-dependent system does not appear to involve plasmin. Using this method, potential novel anti-fibrotic agents such as IGF-II (used separately or in combination with IGFBP-2 as a delivery vehicle), tissue type II transglutaminase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents (such as hydrocortisone) were identified. A potential novel mechanism of action for Mannose 6-Phosphate has been proposed which is based on downregulation of M6P/IGF-II receptor and TGF-.beta.1 mRNAs.
Patent CA-2270097-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for roll forming steel pipes, and equipment for same
Inventor: WANG FEIZHOU
IPC: B21C37/08
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel roll-forming method for steel pipes and equipment for same with which (1) the evidence that forming work in the FF forming method is mainly carried out at the cluster forming portion showing the poor formability is modified and improved without any deteriorating the advantage of the common-utilization of rolls in the FF forming method which employs basically the circular-bend method, and (2) the forming function at the breakdown forming portion is enhanced. Accordingly, the pinch-point formed by the upper and lower rolls is set at a boundary area between the target forming zone in the material's width direction and previously-formed zone or un-formed zone. The target forming zone is wound around a certain caliber of the upper roll on the bend-inner side, and bend-formed in such a way that the target forming zone is almost in non-contact with the lower roll. As a result, the formability is remarkably improved and occurrences of roll flaws and roll marks or buckling can be prevented.
Patent CA-2271676-A1 (CA)
Title: Texturizing compositions for use in fat blends in food
Inventor: WESTER INGMAR
IPC: A23L27/60
Filed: 1997-11-03
Abstract: Fatty acid esters, such as the unsaturated fatty acid esters of sterols and/or stanols, are used as a replacement for a substantial portion or all of the undesirable saturated and trans-unsaturated fats used as structure giving hardstocks in edible foods such as margarines, mayonnaise, cooking oils, cheeses, butter and shortening. Because of the similarity in the crytallinity and physical properties of the esters to those of the undesirable hardstock fats, the substitution or replacement contributes favorably to the flavor, texture and other sensory properties of the foods. Only the fatty acid portion of the phytosterol esters defined herein as texturizing agent is digested or absorbed with the sterol part being unabsorbable, thereby resulting in a reduction in total caloric uptake. Furthermore, the phytosterol fatty acid esters reduce the absorption of both dietary and biliary cholesterol from the digestive tract, thereby lowering the blood serum cholesterol level, especially the LDL-cholesterol.

Title: Porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus oral vaccine production in plants
Inventor: ERICKSON LARRY
IPC: A23K10/30
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of preparing at least one portion transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) protein comprising the steps of obtaining a S gene for TGEV that has been altered for optimal expression in the plant, inserting the gene within a vector suitable for transforming a plant, transforming the plant with the vector and growing the transformed plant. This invention also provides a method of immunizing pigs against porcine TGEV comprising harvesting the transformed plant to obtain harvested tissue and feeding the harvested tissue to pigs, or extracting the protein from the harvested tissue and administering the protein to the pig as a food supplement or as an injection. Direct grazing of the plant tissue prior to harvesting may also be employed as desired. The invention extends to isolated DNA  molecules encoding a S gene for TGEV that have been altered for optimal expression in the plant and to vectors comprising these genes.

Title: Cutting inserts
Inventor: SATRAN AMIR
IPC: B23C5/22
Filed: 1997-08-26
Abstract: A cutting insert (10) has an upper surface (12) bounded by a cutting edge (14), a base (16), and a peripheral flank surface (18). The shape of the peripheral flank surface (18) varies along the height of the cutting insert (10). Near the top of the peripheral flank surface, it conforms to round or polygonal geometry of the cutting edge (14) so as to provide support for the cutting edge. Lower down the cutting insert (10), the peripheral flank surface (18) is shaped to provide transverse bearing surfaces (38) which have considerably lower pressure angles, i.e., resistance to tuming moments, than would be provided by the inherent geometry of the cutting edge. Preferably, these transverse bearing surfaces (38) are formed by recessed features such as channels (40, 42), and most preferably, as chevron-type channels.
