Patent CA-2439947-A1 (CA)
Title: Superconducting cable and superconducting cable line
Inventor: OHMATSU KAZUYA
IPC: H02H9/02
Filed: 2002-10-10
Abstract: A superconducting cable includes a first conductor layer formed of superconducting wires, and an insulating layer formed at the outer periphery of the first conductor layer. The first conductor layer is an assembly of a plurality of superconducting wires obtained by forming an RE based superconductor layer on a metal substrate. The current is limited by an electrical resistance generated when the current of the first conductor layer exceeds the critical current, thereby preventing the superconducting cable from being damaged. A superconducting cable line is formed of a base and a current limiter, which is formed by using the above-described superconducting cable. Accordingly, when a current exceeding the rated current of the base flows, it can be damped.
Patent CA-2440898-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved non-reusable syringe
Inventor: GARTNER JODIE LEIGH
IPC: A61M5/50
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: A single use syringe (10) has an outer barrel (11) and an inner barrel (12) slidable within the outer barrel. The two barrels are initially latched together to prevent relative movement therebetween whereby the syringe is in a useable condition. A needle (16) is in fluid communication with the inner barrel and projects initially from a first end of the outer barrel. A plunger (21) in the inner barrel is connected to a plunger actuating rod (22) which extends out the other end of the outer barrel. On first depression of the plunger actuating rod a limit catch (23) prevents full depression thereof but allows sufficient depression to draw fluid into the inner barrel. On the second depression the fluid is ejected and the plunger actuating rod and plunger are allowed full travel whereby latching between the two barrels is disengaged. It is not possible to re-latch the barrels together in the useable condition and therefore further use of the syringe is not possible. The needle retracts into the outer barrel after said first use and is locked therein.
Patent CA-2442392-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VALERIOTE ANTHONY F
IPC: A01K97/01
Filed: 2003-09-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to a specially designed float device called a "Lite-Bite" Strike Indicator. It is made to be fished through the ice in moderate temperatures, in zero degree temperatures and especially in below zero degree temperatures. It can be fished very effectively on either open ice conditions or inside a ash hut using a rod and reel. To my knowledge in researching this topic, there is no other that is similar and does not freeze up in sub-zero conditions.   The "Lite-Bite" Strike Indicator can be manufactured from any highly bouyant materials. Two preferred materials are polystyrene foam and balsa wood. By using injection molds of varying sizes with polystyrene foam these "Lite-Bite"  indicators can be molded in one piece with the short piece of monofilament (2"-4") incorporated into the bottom of the injection mold before molding occurs. This would provide for a very cost-effective method of production as opposed to the 3-piece balsa wood production. (See Fig. #3 and #4) A micro clip could be tied to the monofilament or attached by means of a piece of black heat shrink tubing.
Patent CA-2445086-A1 (CA)
Title: Hydrogel compositions
Inventor: CLEARY GARY W
IPC: A61Q11/00
Filed: 2002-05-01
Abstract: Hydrogel compositions are provided (a) that have a continuous hydrophobic phase and a discontinuous hydrophilic phase, (b) that have a discontinuous hydrophilic phase and a continuous hydrophilic phase, or (c) that are entirely composed of a continuous hydrophilic phase. The hydrophobic phase, if present, is composed of a hydrophobic polymer, particularly a hydrophobic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), a plasticizing elastomer, a tackifying resin, and an optional antioxidant. The discontinuous hydrophilic phase, if present, is composed of a crosslinked hydrophilic polymer, e.g., a crosslinked cellulosic polymer such as crosslinked sodium carboxymethylcellulose. For those hydrogel compositions containing a continuous hydrophilic phase, the components of the phase include a cellulose ester composition or an acrylate polymer or copolymer, and a blend of hydrophilic polymer and a complementary oligomer capable of hydrogen bonding thereto. Films prepared from hydrogel compositions containing or entirely composed of the aforementioned continuous hydrophilic phase can be made translucent, and may be prepared using either melt extrusion or solution casting. A preferred use of the hydrogel compositions is in wound dressings, although numerous other uses are possible as well.
