Patent CA-2321874-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VORBACH MARTIN
IPC: G06F12/084
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: Up until now, a central and global unit have been integrated into one module which processes all of the configuration requests. The invention provides for a plurality of active units which can take over this task. These units are arranged in a hierarchy. A request from the lowest level is only transferred to the next highest level if the request cannot be processed. The highest level is connected to an internal or external higher-order configuration memory which contains all the configuration data ever required for this programme run. Deadlocks are avoided through the introduction of a fixed chronological order of the configurations to be loaded and through the organisation of the configurations into a list. The CEL (cell) status information is secured before loading and therefore remains unchanged throughout the processing of the entire list of configurations.

Patent CA-2323880-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for, and method of, manufacturing a plurality of uniquely labelled articles
Inventor: CORLESS ANTHONY ROBERT
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 1999-03-15
Abstract: Apparatus for and a method of manufacturing a large number (typically more than 106) articles (12) are described. Typically 10,000 articles (12) are defined on a substrate (10) in an array of 100 rows by 100 columns. One method uses a screen printing technique and a mask to form a unique indicia on each article of the substrate. Several substrates (10) may be formed like this. Second, possibly third and more indicia is then applied to all articles (12) on a substrate (10). A different indicia is applied to all articles (12) on a different substrate (10). The result is that a very high number of unique articles (12) are fabricated rapidly and relatively easily. An alternative method employs a photolithographic technique. The two different methods may be combined. The substrates (10) are diced or cut into uniquely labelled articles (12) and may be used in combinational chemistry. The invention overcomes problems associated with prior art systems in that a large number of labelled articles (12) can be fabricated using less steps.

Patent CA-2325217-A1 (CA)
Title: Crosslinked, heat shrinkable polypropylene compositions
Inventor: JACKSON PETER
IPC: C08K5/103
Filed: 2000-11-06
Abstract: A heat-shrinkable article suitable for use as an insulating or coating material comprises a crosslinked composition of a polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer and an ethylene- propylene elastomer. The article is formed by a process comprising: i) creating a blend of the polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer and the ethylene-propylene elastomer by melt mixing; ii) melt processing the blend produced in i) to produce a melt processed material; iii) crosslinking the melt processed material produced in ii) by exposing it to radiation to produce a crosslinked material; iv) stretching the crosslinked material at a first temperature close to or above its softening or melting point and subsequently cooling it to a second temperature below its softening or melting point, to thereby freeze the crosslinked material in its stretched form. Subsequent heating of the article close to or above its softening point or crystalline melting point results in recovery of the pre-stretched dimensions of the article. Due to its relatively high content of polypropylene, the heat-shrinkable article thus produced has greater toughness and rigidity than polyethylene-based systems, making it suitable for use as insulation for wires and cables a heat-shrinkable corrosion resistant sleeves for high-temperature transmission pipeline joints, and for heat-shrinkable tubing or shapes for electrical insulation and mechanical protection.

Title: Tattoo inks
Inventor: KOGER KIM E
IPC: C09D11/00
Filed: 1999-08-18
Abstract: Tattoo inks are composed of pigments or dyes combined with a tattoo pigment vehicle which entraps, encases, incorporates, complexes, encapsulates, or is otherwise associated with the pigment to form pigment/vehicle complexes that retain the pigment in the tissue. The vehicle can be chosen so that pigments which alone are unsuitable for tattooing can be used for tattooing and optionally can be retained in the tissue permanently. Alternatively, the vehicle renders the tattoo erasable, wherein the tattoo disappears after imposition of an exogenous energy. Alternatively, the tattoo pigment vehicle renders the tattoo semi-permanent, so that the tattoo spontaneously disappears at a predetermined time.
