Title: Biosensor electrode mediators for regeneration of cofactors
Inventor: SANGHERA GURDIAL S
IPC: G01N27/327
Filed: 1998-10-16
Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery of NAD+ and NADP+ mediator compounds that do not bind irreversibly to thiol groups in the active sites of intracellular dehydrogenase enzymes. Such mediator compounds avoid a common mode of enzyme inhibition. The mediators can therefore increase the stability and reliability of the electrical response in amperometric electrodes constructed from NAD- or NADP-dependent enzymes.
Patent CA-2307253-A1 (CA)
Title: Three phase flat cable inductance balancer
Inventor: LAYTON JAMES E
IPC: H02J3/26
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: An inductance balancer is connected between a drive and a flat three phase power transmission cable employed to carry power to a remote load. The inductance balancer includes a first inductance device (e.g., a single wound inductor) connecting the center cable conductor to the drive and raising the total effective inductance of the center cable conductor to the inductance of either of the outer cable conductors at maximum inductance. The inductance balancer also includes a second inductance device connecting both outer conductors to the drive and adding an inductance equal to that of the first inductance device when current exists only on an outer conductor and the center conductor, but adding no inductance to the outer conductors when current exists only on those two conductors. The second inductance device may be a dual wound inductor with each series connected to an outer conductor so that current carried or returned by one outer conductor travels through the inductor in an opposite direction to current carried or returned by the opposite outer conductor. The inductances resulting from equal currents on the outer conductors will therefore cancel, but the inductance resulting from currents in only one outer conductor and the center conductor will not. The result is a degree of equalization of total inductance on all conductors for all current phasings, removing the flat cable characteristics from the system.

Title: Providing an accurate timing source for locating the geographical position of a mobile
Inventor: FALCO STEVEN A
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-07-18
Abstract: The synchronization system uses a TDMA or AMPS air interface to provide timing synchronization between previously unsynchronized base stations. The synchronization of base stations is critical between when determining the geographical position of a mobile because the geographical position is determined using a time difference of arrival method. In order to synchronize a remote base station with a serving base station, the remote base station receives a signal from the serving base station and measuring the receiving time of the signal at the remote base station in relation to the clock of the remote base station. The synchronization system determines the transmission time of the signal based on the reception time of the signal and the distance between the base stations, in relation to the clock signal of the second station, and synchronizes the clock of the remote base station to the clock of the serving base station based on the offset in the clock cycles at the time the signal was transmitted.
Patent CA-2316102-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VIEGENER WALTER
IPC: F16L13/14
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: Method of forming a compression coupling between a fitting and a tube inserted into the retaining section of the fitting. The method involves use of a shaped part formed so that, during insertion of the tube into the fitting, the sealing ring set into an annular retaining groove of the fitting is not damaged by the sharp, outer edges at the front end surface of the tube. Before or during the insertion of the tube into the fitting, the sealing ring is elastically outwardly deformed from the inner contours by means of at least one installed shaped part. The tube end is then inserted up to a contact surface, which forms the interior boundary of the retaining section of the fitting. Thereupon, the parts are pressed together by cold deformation of the parts. The method and the shaped parts are installed preferably in sanitary engineering and are used wherever liquids or gaseous media are carried through tubes.

Title: Solid state director for beams
Inventor: TINNEY CHARLES E
IPC: G11B7/135
Filed: 1999-01-29
Abstract: An apparatus and method for electro-optically controlling the path of a laser beam or other electromagnetic beam in a suitable spectrum which operates entirely in a solid state. Crystalline carbon-60 is manufactured in a gaseous environment to produce carbon-60 balls (10), each capturing a polarized molecule or ion (20) susceptible to application of an electric field (40). Carbon-60 balls are suspended in a matrix of transparent gel, cured polymer, or held by their own solid, crystalline structure. Electrodes (34, 36) for controlling electric fields imposed upon the head, preferably shaped as a semispherical object, may be energized by alternating voltage to provide an alternating field. The ions or polarized molecules may oscillate within the carbon-60 "cages" in any directions as dictated by multiple, phased, field electrodes. A virtual plane of ions creates a refractive environment that can selectively aim an incoming beam under the influence of the electrical fields.
