Title: Method of controlling strand guide position during package buildup
Inventor: FORBES CLARK T
IPC: B65H54/36
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: A collet (22) is rotated to wind a strand (14) and build a package. The stra nd is reciprocated with a strand reciprocator (30) having a strand guide (38) t o lay the strand in a pattern on the package surface (20) as the package rotates. As the package builds, the diameter of the package increases. A method includes a startup procedure for selecting a desired rotational speed  or torque of the collet prior to building the package. As the package builds , the torque on the collet is monitored and kept within upper and lower operating curves (96, 98) to control the package density. The method can als o monitor the torque of the cam (32) and/or receder (60) to control the force exerted by the strand guide on the package.

Patent CA-2404350-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOGELMAN ALAN M
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2001-03-29
Abstract: This invention provides novel methods of inhibiting one or more symptoms of atherosclerosis. Also provided are assays for compounds that will inhibit th e progression and/or ameliorate one or more symptoms of atherosclerosis. The methods and assays are based, in part, on the discovery that oxidized LDL or  components thereof induce strong upregulation of MAP kinase phosphatase-1 which, in turn, is associated with an "inflammatory response" characteristic  of atherosclerotic plaque formation. Inhibition of MKP-1 inhibits one or mor e symptoms of this response, e.g. monocyte adhesion, monocyte chemotaxis, differentiation into macrophages,etc. Inhibition of MKP-1 thus provides an effective method of inhibiting symptoms of atherosclerosis.

Title: Fin-stabilized guidable missile
Inventor: HOLMQVIST ULF
IPC: F42B10/40
Filed: 2001-06-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a fin-stabilized missile (1) of the type which is intended to be fired at high acceleration towards a defined target along its trajectory and which can be guided in the trajectory and which, for stabilizing it in the trajectory, is provided with stabilizing fins (3, 32) arranged at its rear end, and control elements (6, 7) which are arranged at its front end and are intended to guide the latter, and whose rear part, in which the fins are secured, consists of a body part (4, 31) which can rotate freely relative to the main part (1, 29) of the missile about a bearing (14, 36) arranged concentric to the longitudinal axis (L) of the missile (1).  According to the invention, said bearing (14, 36) is arranged near the dividing plane between the missile (1) and the body part (4, 31) and has a short length in the longitudinal direction of the missile, this having been made possible by the fact that it has been given a large diameter compared with its length and it has been designed with special load-bearing contact surfaces (20, 21, 27, 28) which limit the stresses during ramming and firing and during the flight of the missile (1) through the air. The freely rotatable body part (4, 31) for the fins (32) can then in turn be axially displaced from a launch position located inside the missile to a flight position where the fins (32) are pushed out behind the rear plane of the missile, where they can rotate freely.

Patent CA-2433527-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TURNHAM JEFFREY C
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2003-06-26
Abstract: A system and method for providing object-oriented graphical integrated command shell (ICS) integrates the command shell into a graphical user interface (GUI) environment in order to provide a single graphical user interface, so that the user does not need to work in different environments for different tasks. To accomplish the integration, the ICS provides interpretation of output responses that occur as result of processing textual commands entered by a user. An output response from the command shell is typically one or more lines of text from an output stream such as standard error or standard output. The output response is interpreted by the ICS to determine a meaning.      Interpretation may be by pattern matching with regular expressions. If interpreted lines of command output (e. g. indicating a file or folder) map to some other object model (e. g. a file subsystem) in the UI, appropriate object model objects are created. Mapping output produces integration between different subsystems (i.e. file subsystem and command subsystem), allowing the command subsystem to inherit the behaviors and actions associated with the object model with which it is integrated.
